And yes, ice machines are often nasty bacteria haven. I did try to acknowledge that in my post. But the actual Daily Mail article that MSN cited was just appallingly bad, and it causes me physical pain to see websites cite it as a legitimate source. Gotta give the 2 cents, and whatnot. |

I do think you make a good point, though. Facebook does trivialize a lot of gestures that would otherwise be considered very meaningful and heartfelt, and I think that's really too bad. For example, I don't put my date of birth on Facebook, because it bugs me to have a flood of people come on and wish me "Happy Birthday!" just because Facebook literally told them to. That's just... icky, to me. The "like" feature is another one. I'm guilty of using it myself, unfortunately, but it is such a lazy way of completely bypassing any real interaction with someone. |

I've been a FB user for 11 months and while I always shared these same thoughts, I now feel differently. We all have busy lives and different schedules and I find it much easier to keep up with their lives online. That way when one doesn't call in a long time, at least I know why they've been busy rather than knowing nothing about them at all.

Does anybody remember their first Walkman .
http://www.walkmancentral.com/products/wm-10 Most of you probably worn out the Belladonna cassette in it plus other faves in it. My first one was a cheap fleamarket no brand one for about $40 which also record too. It had alot of wow and flutter while jogging. Stevie's music sounded like she was freezing with the chills.LOL..... Later on I got a Sony Walkman with auto reverse which records in both directions which was great for live recording.It was great for jogging with little or no wow and flutter .This model cost about $260 with the stereo mike from Tweeter ETC. What wow and flutter means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow_and...er_measurement My Sony minidisc took over the live shows in 2001.

I think many interpret the "Like" or comment on a friend's page as a legitimate social activity, and that's really just a false sense of interaction. Not to sound whiny about it, but it's been bothering me. It's partly age, and partly realizing that I've been complicit as well.

I'm a facebook whore. I can't leave it alone. Checking it constantly. I NEVER wanted to join...and Michelle2677(remember her, from here?) dragged me kicking and screaming, onto FB. And I became hooked! Fact is...I have MANY more friends now, because of FB, than I used to. And I mean in real life! I used to be really anti-social, and after joining FB, I ended up invited to a couple of parties(where I literally only knew one person), and it was funny. Everybody liked me, and all of the sudden I was in the middle of this huge social circle in my town, that I was never a part of, before. I've analyzed the hell out of it, and it's true, I really owe it all to FB. I have party invitations almost every weekend, now... And I meet with friends from there(that I never knew before) a couple of times a week, for dinner.

Karma, kids. F*cking karma. Gotta love it!!!
So, from my previous "all the new friends I've made in the past 3-4 years, mostly through FB post"..... In the large social group I hang out with, there has always been this one DOUCHE. He's a law professor(young - like 28), very good looking, and extremely stuck up. We've been at probably 10 parties together, and I've never even been able to get a "hi" in(and I've tried, I'm friendly towards everyone). But nope...totally get the "I'm better than you, and I know it" vibe. His girlfriend seems okay, but never got a hi from her, either...oh well, sh*t happens, right? So last night, I'm sitting having a drink with a great friend, who really is the center of our social circle. We have previously and recently discussed Professor Douche, and how I think he's a stuck up POS. ---------- Okay - back story...I myself host BIG summertime pool parties, inviting about 50 people to them. The parties get wild, and are apparently talked about all over town. ----------- Soooo, he comes up to my friend last night, and starts talking, ignoring my existence, of course. So I'm eavesdropping on their conversation, and he says, "So, 'Mike', I keep hearing about these fantastic huge pool parties that someone hosts, that we've never been invited to? I hear the water is warm as bathwater, and things get crazy. I don't know who it is that hosts them, but we wanna go!" My friend gets this sh*t eating grin on his face, realizing that I'm hearing every word the guys says. He goes on and on, for about 5 minutes, and my friend finally whispers to me, "do you want me to tell him?" I said, "sure, as long as you make it funny". So he points at me, and says, "this is my good friend David...he's the one who hosts all the parties you're talking about". Well Professor Douche instantly becomes a new person...."Oh hi, I don't think we've ever met, I'm R***. If you ever want more people at your parties, you should invite us". I just smiled and said, "sure, we'll see...nice to meet you". Now there is no f*cking way in hell that they will ever get an invitation from ME. It would be an Eagles reunion(hell freezing over) for that to happen. If you think you're too good for others. If you have no empathy for others. If you think just because you're successful and beautiful, that you're better than others....well kiss my ass. Because a scummy douchebag like you will never taint my water, you stuck up F*CK. Karma, my friends....it's a bitch sometimes! JTIS!
