Do you also have a relative who posts inane shit like this on facebook?

I have torticollis but I still want to take the risk of draft in the bedroom so that the sheets get like so-there perfectly cool and airy in the room. So I will use a hot water bottle and put it on the pillow for a while. Goodnight.

1. I got relatives that post some pretty inane shit

but none like that!

2. Is that a kind of pasta or something???

[hibbing]

Now I am curious as to what the heck that is.

Peace

5. obligatory rude comment about anything being posted on facebook

is inane shit

7. I beg to differ, madame!

i post scientific facts of great worth on FB. Such as: A group of scientists did a study and determined that indeed, Nebraska IS flatter than a pancake. Or: fun fact...the US is the world's largest exporter of human sperm. And the first photograph of someone giving the photographer "the finger" was a player on the Boston Red Sox in the 1880's. So there! I'll accept trifling, but never inane. ;->

8. When it is a loved one, it is never inane. IMHO

9. Umm, what if your entire family consists of a bunch of RWNJ?

They post inane shit.

18. The funny thing is, because she said "goodnight" with a smiley face,

it got one or 2 "likes" and a couple of people commenting "goodnight" back to her.

We just quietly sigh and shake our heads and return the friendly greeting. So, I suppose that's nice.

21. Sometimes..

Sometimes we really are interested in the minutia of someone's life - especially if they are family and especially if they live far away and the only time you "see" them is on Facebook.

This, of course, includes our DU family

10. Actually

I post inane shit on Facebook. It's kind of what it's for, in my opinion.

[Quantess]

29. I hope you do! For the value of entertainment, at least.

Keep 'em entertained!

[GaYellowDawg]

30. LOL..

I did put up a status last week that said I was down to my last pair of underwear, so I needed to do laundry. Mildly entertaining, and definitely inane!

[Quantess]

31. Thanks for the laugh!

[shanti]

11. why yes, yes i do....

which is why i am not on facebook anymore. i got tired of cringing everytime i read their posts!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

12. Not any relatives..

But if another old school acquaintance puts up one more tea party slogan thing...

He is a good guy till he gets on that "kick". then it's

13. Torticollis: Is that when you have a turtle biting your ass?

Did he post pics?

[one_voice]

15. That really made me laugh...

[lindysalsagal]

16. Glad to be of service.

I guess it's ok to have a sense of humor in the lounge... Doesn't seem to work out there in the real topics.....

[undeterred]

14. At first I read Torticoitis

and I thought Hey, that's way too personal... but thats what facebook is for.

[Quantess]

17. I wouldn't want to know what torti-coitus is!

Sounds like it entails inviting a tortoise into bed with you, or something...

[undeterred]

26. Slow as a tortoise..

28. Alert Rick Santorum ! nt

Never!

20. What exactly do you think Facebook is for?

Its for posting things that you feel like posting. Do you think the world thinks pictures of kids playing baseball or in Halloween Costumes is not "inane shit?" Or picture of what someone is having for dinner? Or a banner that you supprt gay rights, woman's rights, children's rights, Aids awareness, autism or whatever issue you care about.

Its Facebook, it is all "inane shit" to some people and incredibly interesting to others, and most of us think just about everything falls somewhere between those two.

I am amazed by people who complain about what they see on Facebook.

[patricia92243]

22. Bingo!!

[Quantess]

23. Who's complaining? Not me.

I love facebook. But you must admit, that post was pretty inane.

I'm thankful she posted it actually, because it gave me a laugh!

[dr.strangelove]

24. Sorry to vent at you

this just triggered some feelings I have and I should not have accused you of complaining when you clearly were not. that was wrong of me and I am sorry.

I also enjoy facebook. Some stuff seems silly to me, but I use the filters and block people who just post pictures of cats and political rants. There is a lot of inane shit on facebook, but lots of it I find either entertaining or generally interesting to me. I like that facebook lets me stay in touch with friends I might otherwise never talk to, even if it is just a quick "like" or comment.

[Quantess]

25. It's understandable you would think that, since I classified it as "inane shit".

It just got funnier the more I read it. Unintentionally funny. I suppose I should have a little empathy for her, suffering from torticollis and all...

Anyway, have you tried the Social Fixer app? You can hide posts "mark as read" with one click.

[dr.strangelove]

27. no, I will check it out

thank you for the lead.
