This post was so awesome! I was laughing so hard and nodding in approval. BTW I hate nicknames for significant others. I loath "hubs" and "hubby" so much, that it makes my skin crawl! <br /><br />I wish that we lived closer, we would be good friends.

In the beginning, I thought I wouldn't be able to give it up, but after a while, it got a lot easier, and I realized I actually can live without it. It has gotten me thinking that maybe I can do other hard things, too. :) Hope you are doing well!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229440520826873945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920860050314951203.post-54450094577367764482013-04-08T22:48:02.734-07:002013-04-08T22:48:02.734-07:00Mel told me I had to read this!

I basically deleted any friend that was slightly annoying :) and I'm only friends with people I actually like. <br /><br />P.S. I'm so glad you hate the word "hubby" too, I thought I was the only one.

By the time I contemplated joining (after watching "The Social Network"), I realized that I would likely be showing late to a really lame party, rather than showing up fashionably late to an awesome one. I took a poll on my blog too: Facebook vs. blog because I did not want to do both. All my family said blog because it's more intimate. I miss you!!!Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253045987993014888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920860050314951203.post-56006317655843095742013-02-08T14:38:52.326-08:002013-02-08T14:38:52.326-08:00Thanks, guys!

And Amber, that's fine by me..as long as we didn't have too many of the same friends. That could be awkward ;) Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229440520826873945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920860050314951203.post-31329412532935760362013-02-07T11:33:44.084-08:002013-02-07T11:33:44.084-08:00Can I post this link on FB?

And can agree 100% with your list. Every day I have something new and annoying to tell Dave that I read, and he always tells me he's going to go through and block all those people so I can no longer be annoyed. But then what will I read, all my smart friends are deactivating their accounts ;) Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974397362934133814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920860050314951203.post-91865751380670785642013-02-04T19:09:41.759-08:002013-02-04T19:09:41.759-08:00This had me cracking up.

It burns me that I've wasted so much time caring about such nonsense. You couldn't have said it better. And I LOVE the feedback you gave fb: it makes me hate all of my "friends" Ain't that the truth.

And to think, just when Ryan has actually caved. <br />I can't stand the effects that facebook can have on our youth! The way that they post pictures to get comments praising their beauty. Drives me crazy and just creates a world of comparisons which is so damaging to young girls. So don't look forward to the day Emma asks.

Quite frequently I scroll through reading people's stupid/pointless updates and I ask myself, "why would anyone post that on fb?!" Then the follow-up question: "and who reads this crap, anyway?" oh wait... I just did.<br /><br />Keep writing, I always enjoy reading your work.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274164304700929317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920860050314951203.post-37747507510175977772013-02-03T19:45:10.508-08:002013-02-03T19:45:10.508-08:00Completely agree with number 8.Completely agree with number 8.Brynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943310109178805026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920860050314951203.post-21266086451561267252013-02-03T15:15:07.506-08:002013-02-03T15:15:07.506-08:00Thank you, Amber!
