Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I have never been tempted to look up someone on FB who is no longer part of my life.

While I usually enjoy gossip and moments of schadenfreude that find their way to me, I'm lacking in the nosiness department. I guess it's partly personality and partly a reaction to growing up in a small town where your business is everyone's business.

But I guess I'm probably the person you want fixing your computer or having access to your confidential information, because I won't use my powers for evil. Unless you're using your powers for evil, and then all bets are off.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have never been tempted to look up someone on FB who is no longer part of my life. If I'm not in touch and I'd like to be, I just friend them, if I'm not in touch and don't want to be, I cut them out for a reason.

I've had the first real problem with someone on FB recently. It was derby related--completely crazy whackjob that we had to kick off the league went a little nuts. She's invented sock puppets and started messaging me.

I went to the new "Off the Rez" food truck tonight. Tacos and sliders were ok, but yum yum yum the frybread! I dunno that banana nutella was very traditional, but they also have homemade jam and delicioous lemon curd. Nom nom nom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shouldn't have surprised me, I guess, we all used to work at the same place, but I didn't know they were friends

It doesn't mean they are, really -- I've been asked to connect on LinkedIn by various people I don't actually know, from grad school classmates to my friend's cousin.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Most of my linked in connections are just ghat - people ive worked with in some way or another. It doesn't indicate friends or even ongoing contact.

Fuck. Debit card stolen and charges being made. This should be fun.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, damn, brenda. That's a crap way to start the weekend.

Ugh, brenda -- that's the worst. When I had all that identity theft, I kept saying, "At least they aren't stealing my money!" And it's true -- they were stealing from companies in my name, but not actually from me....

hip deep in pie

That sucks Brenda.

I am totally nosy and have looked up people on FB. But, as ita said, mostly it's just kids and spouses. I am mostly surprised when people don't have things locked down better. I ran into someone from university recently and she mentioned seeing some of my comments on Facebook. All I could think was "Should you be able to see them???"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh no, Brenda!

I have very few actual friends among my Linkedin connections - I'm very picky about who I friend on FB, but I figure with Linkedin it's best to cast as wide a net as possible.

Loki is a fan of bacon maple biscuits. He just tried to steal the whole thing.

Marketing done, at least it wasn't raining hard? Now I need to get to Target, TJs and Safeway. And sneak in a swim between thunderstorms...
