Written words

I am on the computer a lot during the week. Between, emails, my job boards, facebook, and games I play I spend way too much time online.  Yes I am ADDICTED!

One thing I try very hard to do is watch how I "say" things online.  The written word is so easy to misinterpret due to the fact the reader can't see my facial expressions or hear my tone.  I am a joker...sarcastic person by nature so I have to try even harder to get my message across without offending the reader. 

Recently there was an instance on Facebook where someone misinterpreted my words and went ballistic on me. I sat there reading their response and shock/anger filled me.  I got my fingers ready to fire a quick retort back at them - then praise the Lord - I stopped and walked away.  After thinking about it for a few hours I just went back and deleted my part of the entire conversation and thought to myself  "LOL, when other people read THAT person's words they are going to think that person is a kook!" 

I know, I know it wasn't the right thought for me to have...but it made me laugh nonetheless!

Stolen from Facebook, but I love it and it's appropriate for the way I am feeling right now, so here ya go!

Why do people care?

Okay seriously...why do people feel the need to stick their nose in other's business??  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the block feature on Facebook! My husband doesn't like Facebook. He thinks it is evil...lol, a little extreme but that's what he thinks.  I, on the other hand, absolutely love Facebook.  Most of our kids live out of town - it's a way to stay connected.  Yes I am a Facebook stalker - I love looking at my friends' photos and how their kids are doing, etc. I don't comment too often but hit the "like" button a lot!

Enough of that and back to the point of this post - since my husband hates Facebook so much I HATE when somebody says to him "why did your wife say this"  or "why did she write that" because he goes into a tirade about how much he hates Facebook and he doesn't know what I put on there and what I don't put on there...blah blah blah.  Get where I'm going with this?!

The latest thing is I offered to help somebody with something and another somebody didn't think it was my place to offer to help and mentioned it to my husband.  Really?! Are you kidding me?! I offered a helping hand!!  Guess what "friend"?  You don't have to worry about reading any of my posts anymore....to the block list baby!

Yet another game I am completely addicted to! On days like today when I have to drive 150-200 miles to work at different stores this game makes it more enjoyable. I normally have 3-5 games going at a time. I can play either on the computer on Facebook or on my smartphone.  By the time I drive to my next store my opponent has taken their turn so I can sit in the parking lot and take my turn real quick. FYI - NO I don't play while driving!
