All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I remember being completely stunned by my hospital bill after the foot meets lawn mower incident when I was young and uninsured. That number wasn't anywhere near those numbers, Connie.

My twitter feed is 90% Ferguson, MO right now but I've seen a grand total of 3 posts on the subject on FB. Is FB stifling the subject or have people differentiated how they use the two media that much?

And that statement is just for the hospital costs for the last three weeks of his treatment. No doctors, radiologists, etc., treatments at other clinics, etc. I hoped they learned something useful, at least.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

aurelia, I've been seeing the same thing -- I know I very deliberately use the two networks differently; in this case, it's a double whammy of my not doing politics on FB because drama I don't need, plus my policy of not saying anything of any real substance over there because I don't want the creepy fuckers to have it.

And yet, my FB feed (not y'all) needs a wake-up. I'm just too angry and heartsick and spoonless to be the one to do it.

Mine, too.

I don't use FB, and am || this close to just deleting that account.

But right now I need to go to bed. Christ, what a week, and it's not even Thursday yet.

I get that, amych. I use them differently, too. I'm pretty free with likes and comments on FB but I don't always post much. Of course I can go weeks without even looking at Twitter, but when I do tweet I can be certain people from high school won't be responding.

I have plenty of people on FB postin about it. Maybe FB just doesn't want you to see it? Who knows.

I've seen more since I mentioned it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Please remind me not to read comments on news articles. All it does is make me want to bash peoples' heads in.

As you can imagine, nearly all of the news in my area is about Ferguson. I have some co-workers who live in and around there, and some of them have kids and... ugh.
