Oh boo--I was hoping the lotto would roll over once more so I could buy a ticket--by the time I saw it was so high yesterday, it was too late to buy.

They should be there now! Just a few. But I did actually see Dr Dre at the Louvre, so that

Live in person? Like for an event, or just he wanted to check out the art??

I hate that I never know if someone isn't posting much or If Facebook just thinks I dont want to see them

Why does FB decide that it knows better than you who's posts you want to see? I find that offputting.

Help, I am scared of the wind. Crazy winds! I feel like one of the three little pigs waiting for my house to fall in.

Hmm...

I am smart enough to figure out how pushing ads onto my news feed increases their revenue, but not smart enough to figure out how repressing person X's posts is likely to create a greater revenue stream. It is especially annoying because one person they always make sure I see kind of bugs me, but not enough to unfriend her (former college classmate FTR). But I wouldn't mind if I stopped seeing her daily posts, you know?

Oh well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Perhaps people who like more pages, click on more links, and/or share more whatevers show up in more feeds in the hopes of increasing everyone's like and clicks and shares?

Just a guess, I have no real idea how Facebook works or makes money.

That screening function is one reason why I'm very close to just cancelling my FB account altogether. The few times I log in, I never see what I want to see, and I hate that FB thinks it knows better than me what I want.

ION, I think my nephew gave me his cold. Damn germ-carrying kindergartners! Argh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Help, I am scared of the wind. Crazy winds! I feel like one of the three little pigs waiting for my house to fall in.

flea, I just went and got my Harbor Freight Tools headlamp, because a friend who lives up in Montgomery recently posted on FB that she lost power. Yikes!
