But other than that, I steer clear. My life has been much more pleasant since making that change.<br /><br />BTW, love your rants. It makes me feel normal for feeling the same way.Babe in Boyslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023498697165841642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410320678359528460.post-35106985952831171282010-04-20T20:36:34.916-07:002010-04-20T20:36:34.916-07:00Amen.

ICK! I get SO sick of the political pontificating (love that word) of my 'friends' who are also involved. Some of them are physically incapable of posting any update that ISN'T political. I have hidden a number of people over that.<br /><br />Same deal with the churchy updates. Don't preach to me via Facebook. Everyone knows your religious updates are more about managing your own perception than they are about concern for the eternal souls of your FB buddies.<br /><br />But the Coup de gras? When they post something that manages to be both political AND churchy- like some quote they believe shows their political candidate is supposed to be the Chosen One. Yowza. <br /><br />See? I'm workin' up a good rant too and it feels great! Thanks!<br /><br />PS- I hope you're no longer pregnant when I venture back to this blog again. Best wishes for an easy, smooth delivery!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300459671364768442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410320678359528460.post-3762303116921519212010-04-20T16:16:47.049-07:002010-04-20T16:16:47.049-07:00Ditto to Kristina!

I love you more and more and more the more pregnant and crazy you get! :) Let's go for 14 months, shall we?! <br /><br />I hate almost everything about Facebook, so you could have chosen ANY anti-facebook subject and I would have agreed with you.

And so it gives everyone a bad rap.<br /><br />I have a friend who has been on unemployement for literally 18 months. Somehow, she keeps getting an extension. She only started looking for a job about 14 months in, has been traveling, etc. It makes me so angry.Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410320678359528460.post-90031960620835093012010-04-20T15:45:47.538-07:002010-04-20T15:45:47.538-07:00Every time I read a post on your blog, I love you ...Every time I read a post on your blog, I love you a little bit more. (Hopefully you don't take that in a creepy blog stalker way, but as a kindred sister soul kind of way!!!) I have views on both sides of the coin for this particular topic. My family has needed financial assistance before, and I have been very grateful for it. But, there are also those people who use their food stamps to buy ridiculous stuff. I'm kind of one of those horrible people who, if I like you, then you can do all the stupid stuff you want and I -mostly- overlook it. But, if I don't like you, and you do one stupid thing, I make a huge deal out of it. Oh my gosh...I'm going to regret admitting this in a public way!Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991788960863652000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410320678359528460.post-79178546237215448192010-04-20T15:15:52.398-07:002010-04-20T15:15:52.398-07:00P.S.

All I can say is heck yes! I can't stand having government (especially medical) assistance being equated to laziness. How is it lazy if you work hard at a job that just doesn't happen to offer health insurance? I suppose survival of the fittest would teach us we're supposed to curl up in a hole and die if we have a medical issue and no insurance. Lesson learned.AlixSteelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628042377554792395noreply@blogger.com
