So it would likely be uncool to photoshop erikaj, Steph, Cass, and Pix in line at the gourmet seafood and meat shop paying for their yummies with food stamps and tagging them all in the picture posted to FB? How about if I promise to use pictures taken on really good hair days?

Bad Laura! No sushi.

I'll even make fish sexy-face, Laura. I know some of these people are just pissed about their own tough times, but they should do like Keith Olbermann said and "Punch *up*"(Although, generally, it's a bad idea to do it right in front of your boss...maybe we can call that the Griffin Corollary.)

Saw the endochronologist today. Basically everything shows I could be headed to hypothyrodism but maybe not. So the doctor is putting me on snthyroid for a trial and see if I can tell a difference.

Geez, I'm feeling almost bullied on facebook to change my profile pic to red and pink. (Not by anyone here, thank you Pix :) Seriously, does anyone think that me not jumping on a bandwagon that wasn't even explained until after 1/2 my FL changed their profile pics actually means that I somehow don't support gay rights and marriage equality? Granted, most of the pressure is coming from people that i'm not really close to so maybe they legitimately don't know...but seriously. It's a profile pic. I kinda thinks all the petitions I've signed over the years and all the letters I've written to legislators are way more useful than a symbolic gesture on a social media site. *sigh* On the bright side, I'm almost happy to be bullied for a legitimately good cause, rather than some of the rubbish that is out there.

wrod.

Actually, the conversation that started out so frustrating ended up friendly and rewarding. I think some people do lash out because they feel like their struggle isn't being acknowledged...that doesn't mean that I changed anyone's mind, or that I won't be saying facebook people are dicks ever again, but maybe it's a good lesson to keep in mind.

I refer you to your tagline.

Geez erin, whatcha sayin, ya hatin on teh gays?

First thing this morning I saw my young cousin in Nebraska had changed her profile pic and explained why. I had not heard anything about it previously, but decided to do so as well. A bunch of my gay and straight friends and relatives have changed their profile pics, a bunch of them have posted something supportive, a bunch haven't. I pretty much know where they all stand and don't need anyone to provide graphic proof.

My sister asked if it was ok to wear orange because she is quite supportive of marriage equality, but really hates red.

I've been trying to avoid any political positions on FB, but well, I am rather fond of red anyway.

One of my second cousins (whose father is a Southern Baptist preacher) made the comment - Sodom and Gommorrah approved gay relationships and look what happened to them!

And of course I had to respond. I'm still waiting to hear why America is going to be destroyed but other countries haven't been.
