Mine is about my lacking character. I get sad when I post "nice" facebook photos that don't get comments. I'm so vain. I love the comments. lol. Likes just don't do it for me. The ridiculous part is that no one knows when I consider a photo comment worthy, and lots of people DO comment on things. Pathetic.

I'm liking and commenting so there!
Humm I don't think I have a good one... Oh! Lame alert. My parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said nothing. 2 hours later I thought of ALL the things. I didn't want to call back and be all weird like "like I know I said nothing BUT..." I have a very hard time shopping for my self.

amaranth - Don't feel bad. My friend's little sis is in college. She taught me about MTL (minutes to like). She always jokes about her MTL rate and how an Instagram pic isn't even worth keeping unless it shows a number instead of a group of names. I usually respond with "uhh, my last IG pic got 6 likes and I was excited...but I'm old."

My husband's buddy is super instagram obsessed and he was describing the same thing. He was also trying to explain the organic ways he tries to increase his followers and all these crazy (obsessive) techniques. We were like, "uhh, we just want the grandparents to see our baby..."
College students are so different now, and it wasn't even that long ago that I was one. So much changes in six years.

I did the SAME thing. I said "I don't really need anything. Maybe some kitchen towels." and then today I thought of so many fun but cheap options. Oh well.

I totally feel old with a lot of the new things since I've been in college. I'm kinda sad we didn't have IG and some of the features on FB back when I was in college because I totally would have gotten waaay into it, lol. I mean, I was a sorority girl, so obviously I would have been posting like CRAZY on IG! I'm a little scared what I would have done with SnapChat though if I had it (I don't even now, lol). THAT I'm happy we didn't have
I just posted my first IG pic this week. It really made me feel old.
Last night we stayed at the in-laws. My mom isn't set up for us to stay with her (in-laws have spare bedroom and my mom doesn't even have a spare bed) but I know she was sad we didn't stay with her.
I am much more comfortable staying with my in-laws then I would staying at my mom's house. I wasn't shy about saying that either. It's not to hurt her feelings or anything.. but it's just true.
amaranth- I didn't comment on your FB pic but I think it's absolutely perfect! You have such a beautiful family...and your hair is amazing! Great job on finally getting a good photo for your Christmas cards!
grover- SO many ((hugs)). I hope the holidays pass very quickly for you this year. Do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself, even if it means skipping out on events and spending time with family.
amaranth - That pic is gorgeous! I feel the same. I have a family member that doesn't comment on others photos, particularly mine. I notice it ALL the time.
Related confession: I only use IG for the fun filters on my HDBD pics and always feel vain/bad when I DO get likes....I'm really just trying to document my bump for my little pregnancy journal book.
So, a friend I "cut off" years ago, reached out to me last night. She and her buddy are usually so self-absorbed that they didn't even notice. Which was fine by me. She reached out to me yesterday on Facebook. I haven't read the message yet because I don't want it to show that I read it....cause then the clock is ticking for me to respond. I can only see the first line that says something to the effect of, "Are you mad at me?" (Really....like 5 years later?) I've forgiven them....for many reasons and wish them well...really, I do. I just wanted to trim the fat and have sincere people in my life.

Sometimes facebook will send an email for new messages like that. You can read the whole message in your email and not have to open on FB
wanderingenough THAT is useful information! Any tips on getting that function? I'll snoop around and see if I can figure it out
ETA: Wait, I think I figured it out for future messages. Just not this one....I'll have to crack this bad boy open at some point...but I'm set for down the road.
I've given up caring what I wear to work. I used to make an effort, but over the years my company has adopted a much more casual dress code. I feel bad when I run into competitors in my travels - they are usually business professional dress, and I'm barely managing business casual.
ewall they're probably jealous of you being more comfortable. Ha-ha. I wouldn't sweat it.
MrsMB I do the same thing with awkward messages. But seriously, after all this time she asks NOW if you're mad at her? Lol. That is special. I see why you took a step back.

DING! DING! DING! She could literally answer her own question.....with her own question!
A few weeks ago I told H that I wanted to spend a night or two in a hotel. He got excited and asked if I meant a mini-babymoon, so I said yes. But really I wanted to go by myself and eat lots of peanut products and enjoy the quiet. I would murder someone for a Reese's peanut butter cup.
But we'll be going together and it will be lots of fun
amaranthluv2rn4funwanderingenough So, I ventured in and opened it. She writes two sentences checking on me then writes this big long paragraph on how she got into essential oils and her SIL is teaching a class on babies this Saturday Clearly, her SIL does Do.Terra now...and they're getting together a party to help recruit new customers.
MrsMB- wow...I'm speechless. At least you don't have to engage/respond I would probably block her too because I really don't need people like that in my life.
Wow MrsMB, not what I was expecting but to be honest it doesn't surprise me. Lately it seems like people only want to friend me on Facebook if they are selling something. Urg.
