'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
The County schools are on delay today, so before care was cancelled, and things started with nursery school at 9:15. With that, and the fact that I have a doctor's appointment at 2:45 this afternoon and I must be at the office 15 minutes before, so I would have had to leave work at 2, I decided to take the day off.
I'm coining the term Snowannoyance to describe this wet hanky of a Noreaster.
Jesse, I totally get it. Sometimes the very best thing to wish for is fast and painless.
Thanks, y'all. The next time I'm in the northeast I'll look for birch beer. I like root beer/sasparilla, so it sounds promising.
I'm still on Facebook to keep up with my sister and niece. If/when I move closer to them, I might bail on FB.
For a little amusement, it seems sometimes you CAN rely on the kindness of strangers.
So sweet!
I have an ad blocker, so I comfort myself with the knowledge that FB doesn't make that much money off of me. I realize it's probably not true.
Here's why we need Facebook, though: My cousin put up a photo of a beaver from near her house, and said something about Sally Beaver. A friend of hers commented, "Is that her real name??"
Where else do you find that kind of comedy?
Yes, I think my privacy settings and ad blocking and all that is on point. Also, whatever if the world knows I despise Donald Trump. I'm well accustomed to suddenly getting a ton of junk mail if I happen to mention storm windows or bras in Google. Unknown email doesn't show in my inbox anyway. The part that I have issue with is that by continuing to use FB, which I am, I am somehow endorsing their behavior. Because I am not.
A friend of mine pointed out that in Facebook you can go under settings and see what categories you're in for advertising. It turns out Facebook thinks I'm black.
I actually have no expectation of privacy on the Internet, so I don't worry about targeted ads. Facebook isn't there as a public service, it's there to make money. I consider the access to things sufficient value for some robot trying to tempt me. If they try to force me to buy or do things, that's something else. Just selling my info to people I can ignore doesn't bother me.
