Facebook has allowed me to find friends and relatives I had lost touch with decades ago. I'm not going to hate on the entire thing because one person on my friend list is a putz.

Thank you AnnaMarie. Facebook is like anything else in life that matters. You get out of it what you put in to it! If you don't like it then no one is twisting your arm to log on.

Or lordy. It's worse than that. This looks like the monster I am drawing. Mind you, there are 10 of them, yes ten. all piped together. All kinds of giggles and stuff going on in there.

Butt weld stainless steel fittings, I'm doomed. Its 10 feet wide. 15 foot high. Ten of them. No wonder i am hiding.

I just wanted to draw cartoons for a living, what happened?

I'm so disappointed. Y'all went straight to donuts and no one mentioned the butt weld!;;D

Why do you keep a putz as a friend?
just curious

This is true.

I guess the part that bothers me is all the advertising.

We got spoiled here because the site is sponsored by our favourite author! - no ads - hurray!

...too many dougnuts and you'll butt weld to the terlet seat....
I just remembered - I have a sour cream glazed donut from Timmy Horton's - mmmm - should I eat it? Nah - maybe I will give it to my son - he needs it more than I do!

I should not be posting in the I Am Angry Today Thread - it has been quite a since I felt anger (which is nice).

IRL she is not my friend. She is my cousin. After the nonsense over the post of my son's jacket, I first tried to talk to her, then I unfriended her. But her sisters are still on my friend list and when I commented on a post one of her sisters made she saw it and responded (stupidly) to my comment.

Can't pick family. :)

Not angry, just irritated. Why is it that you can only enter some contests if you are on facebook or twitter. Especially authors. They seem to do all this cool stuff, but it's always for facebook and twitter.

I'm not trying to stay in the dark ages by any means. I get the whole thing about promotion thing. I get connecting with friends or relatives.

But, why should I be excluded from fun events just because I don't want to have everyone know my business? I don't want to show what I'm eating. I don't want to do the selfie from above my head looking down at my cleavage. I don't want to post fifty pictures of my cats (although they are damn fine looking creatures!)

If I had something to promote, hell yeah, I'd be all over these places. If I had no other way to stay in contact with people I care about, yep, I'd be on there. If I had a heart-on for a celebrity and wanted to unashamedly stalk them, yep -- Nyle and I would bethisclose.

:clap: agree! Our fav author and the SKMB always allows us to enter contests without FB or Twitter- thankful. I'm not a FB or twitter person either.

Yes, Marsha has always made sure that regular joes are included too, and I appreciate that! Very much. My comment was directed at Neil Gaiman. hahaha! He did a live stream event, but you had to watch it through facebook. Or at least that's where I was directed when I tried to watch it. Maybe there was a backdoor I didn't see, but I was looking for one!

And, it isn't only him. There have been other live chats, or live streams, or contests, etc... where you could only access the event and author, comedian, artist, musician blah blah blah through facebook or twitter.

Regular Joes....in the US only.

Many of the FB and Twitter contests I am allowed to enter.
