i think its definitely possible to turn folks off with you FB. and best believe folks are looking at it, in this age of Google-ing dates, FB is the next thing used to check up on a person. when you seem like an articulate person in public but your FB is full of updates written in ebonics and your friends seem, lets be kind and say maturity stunted, then yeah thats a turn off.
just seems to simple to end up with someone all in my business. dont need 142 people jumping on me with the “what happened” questions as soon as they see my relationship status change.

@Dirty D – hey Lady, I feel ya, cant wait to the weekend. kinda sad tho, be a monday moring already thinking about the weekend…hey, whats the moniker mean?
@Simple Man – oh, we did a Salsa class a few months ago, loved it! but was a tad sore the next day, i’ll admit. but Latin dancing seems to be the only thing i have any rhythm for! (now i wanna go dancing…)

Good morning everyone!

“Do you think people who want to date us could read or observe something and get turned off?” Of course. Personally, I think it’s crazy to constantly update your status, ongoings on FB. Relationships should be private and not privy to all your friends who can share and gossip with others who haven’t even tagged YOU as a friend. What a recipe for disaster!

Shout Out to Simple Man and his Salsa dance lesson..glad you had a blast.

Morning all – Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend.

If I meet a romantic interest in real life, we don’t become Facebook friends. We should be able to get to know one another without reading it online. With the recent ex, we probably didn’t become FB friends until we had been dating 4 months or so. I was happy to see that his page was reflective of the guy he was. There were a couple of thirsty broads doing too much, but nothing alarming.

Good Morning All,

Most of my FB friends are classmates from high school, people I volunteer with, friends I have met online and of course family. So since my aunties and uncles are on FB I have to refrain from going to out there in my post..and I have been guility of doing the awards show update in my FB status(Sorry folks I know that is annoying as heck) Most of what I share is stuff about parenting, quotes, updates on weekend activities, politics and of course smack talk for football. So if anyone reads my page..knows I love my kid, find inspiration in songs at times, care enough to let the world know I love my family and friends cause I am spending time with them, I am pretty informed on politics..and that my heart bleeds Black and Gold baby.

@Simple Man the Salsa sounds cool I hear ya’ moving those hips…LOL

@blue yea I feel the same way here I am counting down for the weekend…I guess I am in a chill mode. Work is slow thus far today so hopefully I can get some things done, which would be a plus.

@2CPTG the funny thing is those folks with 600-700 friends post stuff for their 5-10 associates/friends and now their co-workers, HS associates, neigbors, auntie-cousin-brother-sister-stepdaddy on their mama side is in their business. smdh, not to mention most employers are googling and a lot of attorneys and law enforcement are googling.

On topic: I’ve seen some of my HS classmates start more ish than they did in school with FB. If two folks talk too much on FB they are together, if someone “likes” your status too many times they like you…I went through and deleted all five of those fools for the hell of it because they were simple.

i update my FB every few weeks, i use it mostly to keep up with Fam. but with all my Fam on there, including my parents and grands, gotta be careful wat i put out there and need to only approve friends who will do the same. gotta be careful what gets out there. hate it when folks do the 30 posts a day, not for anything significant “got a new bracelet…dam its hot…my dog licked my toe” who the he!! cares. and the 800 friends, you prob dont know who most of them are..

@DD – as far starting more ish on FB than when in school, expereinced that first hand, lost one of my oldest friends this way. over a simple statement too…she started on her wall about how FB ruins relationships, and i said its not relationships its what you choose to put out there to the public. all he!! broke loose from there, lol

@blue see I update my status about once every two or three months…I comment very little. For the most part I have been thinking about taking my page down (I don’t use it, but I guess it is nice to have).

Also, one of my HS associated husband’s ex made up a fake FB page and sent her a friend request, she accepted and the lady played it low key for a while, and the next thing you knew she wrote all kinds of ish on her wall, “Your man is behind on CS, you are bytch, your kids ugly, your man still wants me, your man was over here yesterday etc.” Now that was too much…i do not accept a request unless I “truly” know the person no friends or friends and all of that foolishness.

@abc – that might work but its all depending on your family..my grandmother is more tech savvy than me in some ways…and with 9 children all of whom (except my dad) having 2 or more kids and now we all have kids, she’d be on the phone nonstop. this works better for us because of the size of our fam and how on the go we all are. we get each others posts and we email and it works for us. smaller fams might do better with a phone call on Tuesdays and Fridays…its all about what works for you.
@Kym – lol, thats a good one. have had some fam member i wanted to send one of those pinchs or pokes…but make it more like a smack for being stupid…my grandmother whos in the phase of all fam should get together is putting me in touch with distant cousins all in there teens, talking about all kinds ghetto nonesense complete everything being spelled as improperly as possible, my B**** this, my Dog that….need one of those translators we were talking about last week,i aint got time……

FB, is good when used the proper way, just like Advil you would not take the whole bottle,but if used with care it will help you. There is nothing wrong with picking up the phone and calling a mom or a grandma. However, I can send a private message via my FB account to my cousins in different states…the same as email and a letter. I think it is cool to keep up with folks in other places, and it is nice to get a message from time to time where someone is thanking me. Personally I cherish the notes from former students that are sent via FB, and I love it when someone that I have been thinking about for years send me a note. FB is cool, what makes it uncool is when it is abused.

Not to mention it is cheaper than making international calls and buying stamps. It serves as a nice way to keep in touch between the traditional methods.

I have heard a few people say that what they do online is not real and that what happens online does not matter in their real lives and people should not take it seriously… But the reality is that its all one world, what we say online as a real impact on our real lives, jobs, relationships, families, etc.

No longer can you have a wall up in your mind to separate whaat happens online from the real world… Look at the hit list last week in South America… someone posted on FaceBook a list of people they wanted killed, and within two weeks I think 3 people on the list were murdered, and two others were seriously attacked, but got away.

@Luvbug I found it very psycho and pure evil, she went in so hard my HS associate started experiencing headaches and swelling due to stress…the doctor took her off work for like 11/2 it was rough. I stay away from stuff like that, the reason I found out the whole story because she needed help understanding FMLA and her disability paperwork. A lot of people laughed about it, but that stress could have killed her…it was not funny to me at all. I use FB properly and keep it moving…no drama no stress is how I run my life.

I recently ran into a buddy I went attended college with along with his sister. He asked me was I on FB and I told him about my tired little account. He told me that was good that I wasn’t into it, because his sister has become an expert on identity theft and internet mediums, such as FB are a big contributer.

I would actually call into question the Facebook claim of number of users. I’d say that they can claim that many accounts, but how many people have more than one account? How many people have abandoned their accounts? How many accounts are actually a front for a business or commercial concern? I would speculate that the actual number of users could be 1/4 as many, maybe even 1/5.

As for whether you want to use terms like “tech savvy” or “computer literate” to describe older relatives or those that don’t use FB and other internet mediums, it really doesn’t matter. My grandmother is almost 90 years old and I have some other older relatives. They don’t have computers and don’t have the desire, so they don’t access the internet. And at their ages, they’ve earned the right not to do any da– thing they don’t want to do. It’s not imperative that they have computer access, like it is for everyone else. When my grandmother wants or needs to communicate online, my cousins bring over their laptops, but that’s not often. She is educated and can read and write quite well, and I’m if computers and the internet had been readily available in her younger days, she would have been as up on it all as the rest of us. It’s just not a big necessity in her world. I enjoy talking to her on the phone, visiting her and getting her cards & letters in the mail.

Remember when it cost to make a long distance call or mail a letter, with all of this new technology it takes no effort to communicate. I think that is why there is a lack of emotion, think about it. When you called someone in the 80/90’s you made sure what you had to say was important because you had to pay for that long distance call and when you took the time to write a letter you actually put more thought into it, there was no deleting or pulling back the letter once it was signed and sealed it was delivered.

20 years ago relatively few had personal computers, and there was no Internet. Nobody needed it then; nobody really needs it now.

Other than fun and supposed convenience, what does your computer do for you? There aren’t many more classes of applications now than there were in 1990: word processing, databases, spreadsheets, graphics, and email were all around in 1990. Other than WP, DB and SS, not much else was widely used.

The same technology that revolutionized the publishing industry is all but putting it out of business now, with browser-based content replacing hard copy. However, there’s nothing (of actual value) that you can read online that hasn’t always been available through newspapers, magazines and books.

Online shopping has created a retail environment where hardly anyone knows anything about what they’re selling. Recent adventures with HD digital camcorders has been a poignant example of that for me: the cameras are great, but the software that comes with them sucks, and you’ll spend more on decent software than you do on the camera. Somebody tell me why I want to spend over $2000 on a dayum video camera?! I was better off with the old-style analog video camera of 20 years ago.

What does all the technology of the so-called “Information Age” actually do for you, that’s of actual value?

I will give my two cents on technology since I work in the field and I like to observe what goes on in the tech field.

Technology in general has made life for some a lot easier and accessible. Business can be done from someone’s laptop in the park. I work on a project for the state of Alaska. Most of my team members live in Texas, Minnesota, and some other states around the country. IMO, in the near future, you can get office space in America for pennies on the dollar because most if not all companies will have their employees telecommute five days a week.

ABC’s opinion about Facebook and Twitter are no different than what people said about Myspace when it was the hot thing. These sites can and do make people less transparent. As we blog today, someone is working the next best thing on a Commodore 64 in their parent’s garage.

As a society and culture, we are evolving each and every day and technology aids in that. I believe that having this technology is great but I cannot and should not replace basic human interaction.

Just my thoughts

For Real, I can’t think of military secrets leaked during Vietnam that compare to the recent WikiLeaks brouhaha. Vietnam was, to my mind, the first time that Americans saw images of war as it was going on, with journalists on the front lines reporting it nearly live, and in relatively uncensored fashion — relative to censorship during Korea and WW II — but I can’t think of military secrets being leaked, off the top of my head. I guess I could google it!

blue….Here is my favorite Tiger Woods Joke….

It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal. Teacher: “Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly, can leave early today.”
Little Johnny says to himself “Good, I want to get outta here. I’m smart and will answer the question.”
Teacher: “Who said ‘Four Score and Seven Years Ago’?” Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, “Abraham Lincoln.”
Teacher: “That’s right Susie, you can go home.” Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.
Teacher: “Who said ‘I Have a Dream’?”
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, “Martin Luther King.”
Teacher: “That’s right Mary, you can go.” Johnny is even madder than before.
Teacher: “Who said ‘Ask not what your country can do for you’?”
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, “John F. Kennedy.”
Teacher: “That’s right Nancy, you may also leave.”
Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions.
When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, “I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut!”
The teacher turns around: “NOW WHO SAID THAT?”
Johnny: “TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?

Melo – I didn’t know you were scared of the ocean! You are kinda like me and heights! I get worse as I get older. I feel like I have a chance on a ship, but falling from somewhere high – it’s over. I have a love/hate relationship with planes – I love getting to my destination fast, but I am afraid of crashing. Usually I am toasted before I get on any plane and try to remain that way until I land!

@blue..the other night I saw a Steeler jersey that would fit my dog..but know her..she would rip it off. Pets and their stuff its a billion dollar plus industry. My dog’s pet insurance was about 325.00 a year.

i know yous may not understand or agree with those who adore their pets and treat them like fam, but i tell ya there’s $$$ to be made tapping into that market. find a way to provide them a service or benefit they can spend on their lil furry bff and you’ll make boocoo bucks. ijs.

Cruise ships can sink, but it’s been a few years since one did, I think — there was a quite large and modern Greek cruise ship that sank off Santorini in 2006 or 2007, right next to shore, after hitting some rocks. A smaller ship on an Antarctic cruise had to be abandoned earlier this year due to — guess what!! — hitting an iceberg!

More likely to get deathly ill from virus, or fall overboard — I think it’s something like 20 people per year simply disappear without a trace from cruise ships.

The ships are beautiful. While afloat. Titanic seems to continue to attract a lot of attention from the bottom of the North Sea, though.

It was a goldenlab and he just was licking her snatch, no condiments on her at all, he was just slopping it up. We were getting high and some were getting thier high from other drugs besides weed. She wasn’t moaning or acting like she was about to climax, but it was gross to me. Hey boyfriend wsa there and was proud of the whole thing. So do you ask a woman if she has let a dog eat her on the first date or not? LOL

I missed the post(s) about somebody’s cruise plans, Leggs. I was addressing Melo’s stated fears of cruising and the ocean. Get over yourself. If you’re so concerned about negativity, start with yourself, and your negative comments regarding me.

@czBrat I hope you are right about it being an urban myth…I heard long time ago a spinster/cat-lady maid caught her being licked by the dog. I never believe that one, because I always felt if it was true the maid would have been too scared to tell it especially in the deep south.

@abc ~ I have never been full of myself. Why put fear in someone who’s already somewhat chicken about going on a cruise. That’s just being insensitive.

And, I’m not concerned about negativity. Just felt like pointing it out to you in case you forgot how elitist you sound. Believe you me, I’m not the only one. I just spoke on you always talking about you know so much more than the next Joe Blow on any given topic. Fine! I disagree. Let’s continue to ignore each other. We done so for so long before we started commenting on certain things…let’s go back to those days!!

@cz – to get away from the icky dog stories :

News of the Weird:
Though most victims seemed baffled or distressed by the behavior of Sherwin Shayegan, 27, another thought him “completely harmless.” From time to time (allegedly dating to at least 2006), Shayegan befriends high-school male athletes, questions them as a reporter would, and finally, jumps on their backs and demands “piggyback” rides. No other overtures are made, and the principal complaint about Shayegan, after the shock wears off, seems to be his obnoxiousness.
