    I delved into the cons of big oobs on a hot day yesterday, then hinted about throwing them over my shoulders....

    People who lack social skills need an outlet to express themselves.

    The greater the ineptness the more outlandish the posts.

    I don't find that to be true on my Facebook and other. It comes a lot from the people who are quite comfortable with themselves/others and quite intelligent. :smt102

    I love reading status updates from someone who was just cheated on (sounds morbid lol), they are pretty entertaining. Especially the angry ones where they call the cheater every name under the sun then insult the 'slut' he/she got with.

    I use Google+ now. Pretty neat stuff, but still can't seem to grasp the material 100%.

    Yeah I can't say anything cool on Facebook because it's like my mother is RIGHT. ON. IT. I always post with the knowledge that it's like she's looking right over my shoulder.

    So I posted this:

    When I really wanted to post this:

    http://pinterest.com/pin/23927158/


    Both are offensive, but one has a curse word, so while the first one *should* be more offensive, the second one has to be left alone... that is the odd logic by which I must edit my would-be posts... (which are not always pininterest, by the way, this is just a for instance). She knows better than to comment if she doesn't like it, because she knows I will defriend her.

    I unfriended my mom after she made some comments on my page about my personal life. To this day, she's still mad about it. She'll tell me I'd know about family gatherings and stuff if I was her FB friend, and I awlasy say 'Well, you have no one to blame for that but yourself!' lol

    I made a post about Troy Davis and my Mom came to the post and said she'd "look into it and do some research" and I told her Troy Davis didn't have the luxury of time and why didn't she repost it to her church friends so they could do the research to and decide for themselves whether they wanted to sign the petition - commented right in public on FB - she deleted her comment pretty fast let me tell you. I told her not to comment on my political posts again if she was going to chicken out like that and that I thought she might have some racial bias, and I was going to have to put her on limited profile if she was going to interfere comment on all of my posts when she knows we have differing views, and she got all defensive, but ultimately she wound up reposting the petition - I don't know if it's because she's that roped in by FB and actually thinks me defriending her means I don't "love" her anymore or what? :smt091 Heaven help us all... She also sends messages to my foreign friends who aren't Christians and comments on their profiles, which can be embarrassing.

    I'm confuzzled. If she knows better than to comment, why care whether she's bothered or not?

    My mother is a friend on FB, and she's found out a few things that way - my little sister says she "haunts" our pages. But I'm an adult (and then some), and if she doesn't like my language or the topics on which I post, that's her problem, not mine. I stopped allowing my mother to police my behavior when I left home.

    If she doesn't like what I post she doesnt have to read it, after all.

    TreePixie, it's just difficult - you'd have to know how I was raised - it was extremely controlling. For example now, I am 37, yet I still feel like I am 24 in many ways, or younger - for how sheltered and repressed I was. They treat me exactly the same as when I was a teenager. When I was a teenager, they treated me the same as when I was 10 (before puberty). When I was 10, I was more mature than the other children my age, and that is when I stopped developing emotionally - I still feel like I am 10 sometimes.

    I try to keep my distance from them - really wish my mother wasn't on FB. It stifles me a lot.

    Stop allowing that, SA. You're nearly 40 years old. It's well past time to be a grown up with your family. Regardless of how you were raised, there comes a point in life where you have to start taking responsibility for how you handle things now. You cannot be grounded, you cannot be sent to bed without dinner or spanked. There is nothing your mother can do to you now unless you allow it. Yes, she could be angry. If she calls and is unpleasant, you can tell her to knock it off or you'll hang up. Yes, she could get all huffy and threaten to take away her controlling behavior (which she sees as love) from your life. Which is what you're trying to accomplish anyway. You have nothing to be afraid of, SA. You're a grown-ass bordering on middle aged woman.

    It's time to live for yourself, and not worry about whether it pleases your family or not. They're allowed to love you for who you are, not who they would like you to be. If they choose to withdraw their love if you do not "behave" in a way they find proper, that's emotional blackmail. You can refuse to be blackmailed.

    I hear what you're saying- I agree, I truly do - but how about you go back and look at the links that I truly wanted to post to my FB - things that truly resonate with me that I want to share with people. I posted them in my original comment and fixed the links so they work now - sorry the pictures don't work, but the links do, if you click on them. Look at those. I guess I'm afraid that if I post them, my parents will look at them and say - oh how immature and sour, how rebellious, what a bad attitude, what a loser, etc. Is that what you would think looking at them? As an outsider? Because those links expressed how I truly feel.

    I don't know - I guess what I'm trying to say is... are the links themselves "TMI" about me and my views about life, not just to my parents but to all of my facebook friends and family?

    I like women who spray their breast milk on my dick.

    See what TMI could do?

    It's not a solution to your other problems, but you know you can set everything you post on fb so certain people can/can't see it, right? I have groups for family, online people, people I added to play games, etc. and each of them can only see what I want them to. I took me ages to realise you could do it, so thought I'd mention it in case you didn't know about it.

    Someone in my family tried to do that to me whilst I was growing up. So needless to say my childhood was one long battle of wits. I knew even from an early age that no one should control any one else. It is easier said than done I know all too well. But at 17 I had just had enough and took control for once and for all. I think I am still rebelling even now in some ways! lol
