Mom: Did I horrify you?
Me: No lol I already knew. I don’t care. It’s your nipple do with it what you will.
Mom: Yeah but no one wants to see their Mom’s nipple on Facebook.

Daughter’s Status Update: I think someone came into my house and stole my meat.
Mother’s Public Comment: I thought your boyfriend had the meat in the relationship.

The most precious possessions are my kids.

Mom: It’s a cool picture. And I am prepared to help take care of your most beautiful and treasured possessions when you crash and become a prisoner, a vegetable, or an angel.

Me: OMG Ma I was multi-tasking while driving. I learned from the best ;)

Mom: I can’t help it. I love you and I worry.

mom: Sweetheart, if you must take a photo of my baby without a shirt, PLEASE DON’T POST IT.  He looks very big and I worry about him.  Has he gained a lot since last year?  Love, Mom

me: Sure but I guess I will be posting no pics of him then except winter because he is always shirtless in the summer. Also Everyone looks heavier in photos and rest assured he hasn’t put on any weight since last year. He works out religiously and has passed all his check ups. Hope your all well. How are you doing on the quitting smoking? Love, Me

PULEEZE be careful of your language and what you say on FB, baby. It is not only a social network. It is Your Future network! I love you and only interfere when I feel it is absolutely necessary. Mention that to Bren sometime, ok??!!

My mom feels he’s an underachiever. My mom feels that even IF he did propose, he wouldn’t be able to give me the life that “I” (read: she) would want. Also, my 30th birthday is in mere days and this to her renders me a lukewarm commodity in the dating sphere.

Mom: Hey, I just heard it’s “free communication weekend” on eHarmony. Just saying…
Me: uh…I’m not single. Isn’t that like false advertising?
Mom: Can you say “it’s complicated” like on Facebook?
Me: Uh… I don’t think so… I think if you’re on that site, it’s pretty much like you’re single and looking for a date.
mom: Well, he said you could start looking if he didn’t propose by June, and next weekend will be July;-)
Me: true… but I have a problem with looking while we’re still together.
Mom: Ok, I just thought “free weekend”.

I am sorry I used the dictionary.  I won’t any more.  I will probably never win again but I will play fair.  Sorry.  Bad example from your mother.

Me: No, that’s part of why people like Facebook, you can’t change your page layout.

Mom: But I don’t want other people to be able to edit my profile

Me: What? They can’t.

Mom: Under my picture it says ‘Edit Profile’…it never said that before.

Me: Mom that is because YOU are looking at your profile…go look at mine it won’t say that.

Mom: Whatever, I don’t like it. I want to change it.

Me: Well you can’t.

Mom: Yes I can…I can delete my page.

Me: You’re really stickin’ it to Facebook huh?

You know what?  I do think she is nuts, but, think about it.  God somehow can sift through all of her “stuff” and see the good.  I know that I have never met her, her Facebook Profile is base and full of self absorption, she would make a horrible spouse, she is not a very happy person deep down.  She wants to bring everyone in her circle of influence down to her level of depravity.  If someone joins her in her misery, it somehow absolves her from dealing with her wrong living.
Are you still watching Glee???
HAHA,
Love you,
MOM

OK I remember John Doe. His parents were really creepy.  I think possibly abusive.  He was sent to school one day with either Chicken Pox or mumps.  I think mumps.  Blonde kid who lived in the Elmtree section of Union.  Watch out.  I don’t know if he grew up to be creepy like his parents.  Mom

On the picture of M and B … look in the background … I look horrible!
I look like some hard old alcoholic aunt who smokes, curses, and drinks too much! Why didn’t you tell me I looked so bad? When I saw “me” in the picture I actually blanched … blah!!
Now I’m really depressed.

So, I realized if I feel this way it would be similar for you all, so no friend request will be coming from me.  The other weird thing is I just posted this youtube video on my wall this morning before I got her request.  SOOOOO WEIRD!!!!

This is a very strange day….
