Social Media - Social Graces (Facebook)

I think people should have to read an etiquette handbook before joining any social networks. The things people are willing to say on Facebook almost defy logic. Recently, a friend from High School (who I haven't seen in more than 20 years) (don't do the math) was browsing through my pictures. I accept responsibility for not restricting his access to my online life but he's an adult with a wife and nearly adult children.

While driving home the other day, my iPhone chirped and at decided to take a look at the source of the chirp. It was a FB note from my former school mate with a message about commenting on the "deliciousness" of myself and another woman photographed with me. WRONG!!! I'm certain this same guy would not be so quick to openly comment to a woman he hasn't seen in 2 decades or about a woman he has NEVER met. Don't post your attraction to me (or anyone in my photographs) on my wall...it's cool that you think I'm still cute/hot and that I have cute/hot friends...but use TACT! And don't post stuff like that on my wall so that everyone can read it...don't make me restrict your access.

Note: Perhaps a developer with come up with a vitrual face slap to replace the Facebook virtual "poke"!

Filed under: Sleeping with both eyes open

My husband and I were having a casual conversation about retirement planning. It wasn't a big deal just a casual note to sit down and review our goals, age of retirement, investments, cost of health care, a home in Brazil, you know - basic stuff.

While discussing the pros and cons of lump sum payouts he said, "I know you will die before me..." eeeerrrr stop!!! What?? Do you know something I don't know?

Moral of the story: Sleeping with both my eyes open and not signing anything. :-)

Note: This is for my amusement only; my partner worries about my poor eating and workout habits. Despite his love of Brazil and the strong attraction of Brazilian women to his smile, I'm surely safe, right?
Love with a smile in your heart.

Late lunch?

How long can a salad sit on my desk in the heat of my office before
wilting and going bad?

Tiger's in the discount bin! Oh My!!
