What I don't understand is why would people put things on their page that their privacy settings would keep people from seeing ? What good is it ? Do I need another time sink not that broadcast TV is so bad that I won't just watch whatever is on ???
I look at is a much different way: I think Facebook is an affront to my private time. Everyone wants to be my friend- even people I don't know. DO I really want to commit that much time to broadcasting every detail of my existence to umpteen people that have nothing better to do ? Gimme a break, I mean, GIMME a break. I got an account so I can see my daughter's page and protect her from revealing too much. Any more time that they want me to devote to my "friends" is just way over the top as far as I'm concerned.
How many more incidents of privacy lapses or identity theft will it take before we figure out that keeping something private means NOT telling anyone?
Last night we watched "Alice in Wonderland". We were pleasantly surprised that it was better than expected. Unfortunately, it was "quite" obvious as to what was missing or wrong with the movie. It really could have been SO much better with so little change.
An Arab was walking through the Sahara desert, desperate for
water, when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to
find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little
old Jewish man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties
laid out on it.
The Arab asked "Please, I'm dying of thirst, can I have some
water?"
The man replied, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a
tie? Here's one that goes nicely with your robes."
The Arab shouted, "I don't want a tie, you idiot, I need water!"
"OK, don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'll
tell you that over that hill there, about 4 miles, is a nice
restaurant owned by my brother. Walk that way, he'll give you all
the water you want."
The Arab thanked him and walked away towards the hill and
eventually disappeared.
Three hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the man
was sitting behind his card table. He said "I told you, about 4
miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?"
The Arab rasped "I found it alright. He wouldn't let me in
without a tie."
Paddy & Murphy worked together
and both were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. Asked his occupation, Paddy said, "Panty Stitcher. I sew the elastic onto ladies cotton panties." The clerk looked up panty stitcher and found it classified as unskilled labor, so she gave him seventy-five pounds a week employment pay.
Murphy was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter" he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Murphy one hundred and fifty pounds a week.
When Paddy found out, he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay. The clerk explained, "Panty stichers are unskilled and diesel fitters are skilled labour."
"What skill?" yelled Paddy. "I sew the elastic on the panties, Murphy puts them over his head and says, 'yah, diesel fitter.'"
Things to Remember
We cannot see the future. We cannot change the past. We can only
live in the now with an eye towards gaining enough power in the
future to wreak revenge on everyone who ever screwed us in the
past.
Dreaming frees the soul, energizes the spirit and allows you to
do things that would get your ass thrown in jail if you really
tried them.
Love means never having to say, "Does that twenty include the
spanking?"
To truly love another, you must first love yourself. And it
wouldn't kill you to wash your hands in between either.
A little bit of love goes a long way in our lives. It can provide
us with higher highs and lower lows. But, if it comes with a
persistent burning sensation, see your physician.
When it becomes a crime to love, you should probably consider
dating outside the family.
If Life hands you lemons today, smile and give thanks. Then when
Life isn't looking, give him a quick knee to the groin. That'll
learn him.
They say a smile is a gift which is free to the giver and
precious to the recipient. But giving the finger is free, too,
and I find it more personal and sincere.
