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

My pic is usally my dog, so I may not be well positioned to throw any stones, but yeah.

Also, it gets confusing. My friend T has as his pic one of himself and his dad - who I'm also friends with, and whose name also starts with T - and I keep getting confused which one posted what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My best friend (therefore has no age excuse) used a couple email address up until maybe five years ago. She's the kind of friend who I know the more exciting it is, the sooner I know he knows it--I have absolutely no problem, I'd tell him all this to his face, he's, like, my favourite friend's spouse every, just marvellous. BUT I WANT TO SEND MY BEST FRIEND MY EMAILS. Her telling him my stuff is her thing. I don't want to write to/for him.

I didn't even know how to express that properly to either of them. But professional requirements made it so.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My husband is so FB averse that I just assumed he didn't have an account. Then I found out he uses a pseud on FB so he can follow it a bit but he doesn't post anything.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't think Tim wants a FB account, because half my posts are either pictures of him doing some jackassery or descriptions of his jackassery. With one bonus video of him using a furnace blower as a leaf blower. Which also falls under the category of "jackassery."

Don't think we don't appreciate it, Steph.

Comedy GOLD, I tell you what.

Also comedy gold - we've got a reply all debacle going on, where someone wanting access to a system used an "all system users" email list. Man oh man. Followed the usual progression:

1. This was not meant for me! 2. Why am I on this list? 3. Please take me off this list

but now has devolved (hello, after 6) to

4. How 'bout them Badgers? 5. Did anyone see Breaking Bad this weekend? 6. A "hang in there" kitten poster 7. A review of Harry and the Hendersons 8. "Replying all is so 2012!"

(Amid the still constant flow of "take me off htis list" "don't reply all", people calling don't-reply-allers hypocrites for replying all, and finally a threat to forever deny the original emailer access just because.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

BRB, gotta make sure I'm following Steph on FB.

Man, this hi-larious. Now people are reply alling "has anyone seen my keys?", and Roger Staubach's son is arguing college football with a half a dozen people.
