Morning campers. Welcome back Brax.

I put off picking up the car until today because of the weather report last week, saying possible hail yesterday. Of course it pushed to today. Hopefully it will miss us. Be a shame to get hail damage on his car, but no space in the garage, so it is what it is.

i for one have never been disappointed by my assumptions of nakedness.

It's nice to see you doc-tor.

As we've said before all are welcome here. Most all anyway if you know what I mean...

Well I just put it to the test saying he has a little penis. Lets see if I get zapped

LOL.  

If you believe it, then you could report him.  We all know that's not his real name.

But surely someone is reporting people.  Does FB just troll around looking for names that might not be real?  Mary Katherine Gallagher is a real name.  Maybe a movie character, but I'm sure there's someone with that as their name.  So what flagged that name?

It has occurred to me. But tit-for-tat is a dangerous game. Like nuclear war, once someone launches, a lot of people get naked on both sides.

I'll save it as a retaliatory strike if I must. But I won't do it preemptively.

My guess is along the lines of what you said. It's ad driven. They probably can grab strange names the second they are created. Like them telling me I should give a real name not Pa. From there it's about the traffic they can cash in on. Polk uses his across more than just the Haunt. FB can grab info on his phone searches, mail, etc.. because his account allows them to grab ad dollars, he's not on their radar. My old one was clearly a fake, but I also only used it for the Haunt. No revenue. I signed in and out, only used it on my phone a time or two. It was easy from them to see that name at the bottom of list of possible fakes and zap it.

We have an account snitch among us. There is a person who we all know has a petty, vindictive streak in him, and he's been "reporting" accounts of people who have clashed with him in the past.

This person wants to think he's the smartest, wittiest, cleverest person in any room, and when people fail to admit his superiority, he plays the "report user" card.

That's my theory.

You could be on to something there. The only reason I doubt it, is the responses from FB that I have gotten in regards to my old account. I have sent them several emails requesting access to the account simply to close it but never a response. That and I think he would have reported you by now.

He had his prom Saturday, so I had to drive him all over the place. He had a great time, so that made it all worth it. Then Mothers day yesterday, we just relaxed around here.

I started watching the new Fantastic Four movie but gave up after about 10 minutes of suck.

Today's meatballs turned out as good or better than any I've yet made.

I used a mix of pork and beef that you can buy at WalMart. I used the second half of the package I bought last week. (thawed out from the freezer.)
Added finely chopped onion, some garlic I roasted a bit in the oven and then chopped, some Great Value Italian style breadcrumbs, an egg, and a little salt and pepper. Cooked at 345 degrees for like 40 minutes wrapped in foil. Then added to some Prego traditional spaghetti sauce and added some red pepper flakes.

It was good and maybe this means it is time to make a change on my Sunday night menu and master something else.

I think this lesbian thing is recent.  While I was never popular with the boys, I did date in my 20s and early 30s.  But I haven't dated in years-well, I had one date about 4 years ago?  And it was ridiculous.  And I didn't share with my mom.  So, I think the lack of any activity of any kind in several years has led to this assumption.  I think as parents (and aunt, any family, really) they don't want to recognize or can't recognize that their family member is just not attractive in any way to the opposite sex (beyond offers for sex at 2 a.m., which doesn't count) and instead choose to believe that the reason I don't date is that I'm in the closet and am afraid to come out.

To be fair, I've seen it happen where a woman gets into her late 40's or so and suddenly "switches teams" so to speak, and takes up with women instead of men.  I have probably know men that did the same thing.

In my un-expert estimation, some people experience hormone changes that re-direct their sexuality.



Regardless, it's kind of sad that your mom has misguided ideas about your personal affairs and that you're kind of stuck in the house with her for a while.  I'm assuming she means well and wants you to be happy.  she just can't imagine a reality where you're not attracted to the good old boys in small-town Texas.[/quote]

My mom is from California, I don't think she cares about TX boys v. other boys. And yes, one of my closest friends recently came out. She was on her 2nd husband, just had her 2nd kid, and left her husband for a woman she met at work and says she's the happiest she's ever been. She was never unhappy straight, so I don't know how it all works-maybe she met this lady and it awakened something in her. But I know it can happen. And, like I said, it doesn't bother me if she thinks it, it bothers me that she apparently thinks I'm lying and, if I were gay, that she's trying to force me to admit something that I wasn't ready to.

Yea, it's better now that I can take care of myself more so she's back at work all day. I love her and I appreciate that she's taking care of me, but as an independent person used to being alone, it's hard being around 2 people almost 24 hours a day. For 8 weeks and counting.

We've been worried about you.
Not much going on except last month my mom passed away. She was frail after a stroke and it was not unexpected.

Don't disappear for months at a time, we need the coffee girls.
