My children call me out sometimes for making assumptions about the character of their friends, I listen to their side, and what they say changes my perspective.

Ha! They are not all like that. One of my ex bf was an MBA student, and played WoW twice a week with his guild, and he was also a single and good father.

Indeed, you think outside the box, I like that.

There is another site that does the same. It has a search of public Facebook post, it's good to use during big events (earthquakes, hurricanes, shootings, protest etc.) to get a local perspective on what's going on.

After Japan's tsunami I collected post on people's thoughts and wishes for Japan and made a blog post about it. Of course I only revealed the first name and last letter of their name.

I will try to find the post. Here it is: http://bit.ly/eiO5rT

When they are they are in their 60's, they are set in their ways. It's not going to matter what you say to her she will always be who she is. Just let her be herself, and you be proud of who you have become. Don't spend the next possible 10-15 she has left on Earth arguing over such matters. Your mom cannot be responsible for what her friend sends her.

I feel that having such arguments deprives your parents of their lifeforce, it will drain her, and for no good reason.

My mother is a Republican too, and cannot be told anything. It's best just to let them be and enjoy what time you have left with them. There is good in everyone.

Yay!

Where is the link? I love Hockey, is it free to play?

It's fun, but I wish that Instagram would let you see your profile outside of the app too, instead of just individual photos.
cynthianews  ·  4392 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Facebook gives the police
Nothing is really private anymore, where is there left to escape theoretically into yourself online anymore? I don't like it that as soon as someone gets in trouble suddenly all the news media post your Facebook photos everywhere. This however is different, but not by much.

Cool placements of the Hubski stickers. I like that silver mac.

Sometimes it takes generations for things to begin to occur. Maybe, they will focus on it in the future. We will one day though populate the Moon and Mars.

I made Deans List barely with a 3.75GPA my first semester in college, and my mom was proud I guess so she gave my note to our family historian, which it has now been lost. I don't like it when other people give away my accomplishments. Love my mom, but still. :)

Look at what they have done to help the children, a lot more than others. I disagree with this blog post. It's about people trying to stop an effective campaign to help people it seems.
