Am I a bot of a cow?

[sherrardk]

My sister has just posted something on FB about if your mother is heaven for Christmas, lord give her some flowers and a kiss, blah blah blah. If I don't comment it will be noted (as me not caring), it's just I can't do with these public, over-the-top out pourings. My sister's family and friends know that our mother is dead, why post something like this on FB?

Ha ha, exactly! I think I'm going off Facebook a bit. The other day an old school friend made a post about something which resulted in about 30 comments from her friends speculating about how one of their neighbours had committed suicide that morning. I found it very distasteful and almost told them all what I thought about.

I use FB to keep in touch with old school friends and sending free messages to people I see regularly (people like myself who have children and never go out!). It's currently the only way I keep up with two of my three siblings (the third I don't keep in touch with at all).

That's pretty much the only reason I stay on it now Sher so I can keel up with my family and friends who I can't see very often.


Sorry for taking this off topic.

I'm with Hopkirk on this. There seems to be nothing but arguments and bad feeling on Facebook.

[sherrardk]

No probs Evian, feeling much better now for letting it all out (does your head in doing internal ranting to yourself).

[ummmm]

Star....not true.

Are you the @rse of a cow ?
I read 'bot' as short for' Bottom ', but now I see it is a spelling mistake in a very common 3 letter word !
Curious mixed use of upper and lower case as well !

[EvianBaby]

I don't get involved in arguments - I just watch some from afar.

Facebook isn't all bad, just some people don't know when they're sharing a bit too much.

Hi Eddie, the powers that be do the upper case/lower case stuff. I can actually type properly (have the certificates to prove it) but an iPad screen has no key definition thingies on the-screen key board thingy. (Thingy/thingies is obviously an I company trade mark thingy.)
