Today's message came from S.
She told me that she's just about had it with folks spewing their political emesis all over her via Twitter and the Facebook.
Now, you know the sure fire way to get rid of all that is to hit "block/report as spam!"
However, I'd like to address this on a deeper level.
I'm deep. Like the cup of tea I'm drinking.
I,too, get seriously UHNoyed at folks.
These are my 5 favorite (and I use that term loosely)updates:
1. "JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH BUT YOU WON'T LISTEN TO HIM CALLING FOR YOUR BABIES IN THE NIGHT...."
(nothing says "What would Jesus do" like screaming at folks in a passive aggressive way!)
2. "Republicans/Democrats are carnivorous and will make off with your jewelry if you let them in your house."
(Um, pretty sure communists would too...let's not cast stones, y'all!)
3. "Sometimes I copy other people's status to see if they notice."
(Sometimes I pretend I'm a bazillionaire and live a life of leisure, but I don't actually DO IT!)
4. "People are dying from ___________ (insert disease here) and only 3% of you will post this as your status."
(Know what? I don't need people to read that. If I wanted someone to know some fact, I'd at least have some decent research to back it up!)
5. I don't care where the heck your bra, pocketbook, Strawberry Shortcake picture, or your cat is. The whole reason for social media is for building connections, not for being part of the pack!
OK, rant over..
Back to S.
Dear S,
Baby, you can do two things in this situation.
1. Block/Report as Spam
2. Sit back and enjoy the entertainment.
I'm a bigger fan of #1. Or, if it gets real bad, invite me over. I'll put my foot in my mouth for you!
Smooches,
Auntie Heifer
