Foot? Mouth.


If I offended anyone yesterday, I apologize. There's a difference between disagreeing (or even dismissing) and coming off condescending, and I think I may have missed with that one a few times.
People posts some really strange stuff on facebook, I don't think they realize who can see their posts.

This happens to me all the time, it's really annoying, I think they do it on purpose just to pick a fight when they know damn well I don't feel the way they are accusing me of.

I do that to sometimes, go into greater detail because I know 'they' are gonna hunt me down to pick apart everything I say. At the end of the day, I really don't care though, I know I'm happy, just wish they could find happiness too.

Well, I thought that was how we learn to improve our relationships. We say something dumb, we hope others can forgive us, we do the same for others because it was done for us.

You're cool.

Don't know what you did.... but with a post like the OP, you're obviously a great guy.

Called out a friend's daughter on FB once for leveling some pretty serious accusations against her mom. Some things you just don't air out in a public forum that way.

seriously..... I can't believe the kids are still on facebook... There must be something REALLY WRONG with that generation. As soon as I found out that parents could join facebook, I left that uncool sh$t for life! The NerdS generation is what we'll call em.
