Don’t Log ON

Do you all have amnesia? He didn’t get out of the cocka-doodie car!

This just happens to be one of my favorite lines in the best movie of all time, “Misery,” of course.

I always use this phrase, especially when I’m being dramatic. And no, it never makes sense, but those who get it get it. I’m mainly stressing, “Do we all have AMNESIA?” when I say this.

This brings me to today’s Daily Prompt!

When I saw this prompt, I screamed out “just in time”.

I benefit greatly from staying away from FB and instead hanging out here to get my social media fix.

You see, I say this because I logged into Facebook today and was blown away by how so many people post things that are far from the truth. In fact, if you search around for a brief moment, you can see just how far some people go to flat-out lie.

I’m not friends with too many people on FB, and if it weren’t for my blog, I wouldn’t ever go to that dreadful site.

So here I was today, minding my own business, and bam, I ran across the sorriest sack of shit my eyes ever did read. And I thought, “WAIT, A DAMN MINUTE, DO WE ALL HAVE AMNESIA”?

The lady writing this post was the biggest bully in high school and would fight anyone, anytime, for any reason. Y’all, I have no idea how we are friends on FB. I think it was a glitch in the site, and she fell through the cracks. 

I say that because my friends are mostly dry and boring like me, and we think the corniest things are funny, but this hot head lady was raising sin about the father of her children is scum of the earth. And how lucky he is to have her. But to make matters worse, she had a whole slew of people agreeing that he should feel blessed to have her. 

Needless to say, I deleted her because, well, why wouldn’t I? 

There is no way she can truly feel that he is lucky to have her evil behind, and why would you air out your dirty laundry on FB?

I’ll never understand people who do that.

You could have chosen any log to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  1. Yeah facebook aka face plant book is notorious for that kind of thing, i remember going through my last divorce and my now ex was causing all kinds of havok on there. I could get away from it between facebook, her blowing up my phone via text and calls (only allowed her to have my number because of our daughter) and her causing all kinds of issues with people I thought were my friends. Needless to say, most of the “friends” are no more, I had originally deleted my facebook and changed my number. We got back on there about 3 years ago to stay in contact with the kids and was going to be nomads, but covid killed that. Anyways because of all that was going on there during my divorce, I nicknamed facebook the drama tree and every morning if she started her crap, I would make the post “shake shake shake” or something about “nothing like waking up, to drama in your cup” think folgers comercial.

    1. LOLOLOLOL Your sarcasm is GREAT, and the nicknames for FB is right on point.
      I feel like ya gotta be a miserable soul to get up and start writing crap on FB so that you can have people side with you. What waste of time.
      FB is full of lies and people who want attention no matter how ignorant they look. so glad she is now your ex and you can move on peacefully.
      Love the shake shake and drama in your cup. LOLOLOLOL

  3. LOL. I like the way you express yourself. Falling through the cracks is hilarious. I am also not very active on FB because I find it drab these days. No one seems to be interested in reading other’s posts only touting their own. Some have made it a business outlet. Some talk a lot of nonsense. I really don’t know why they have to flaunt their selfies or how much they pubbed and things like that. In our country pubbing is something new. Especially for women and they post pics and talk about to show how mod or upbeat they are. Next will be something else which is in fashion.

  6. In terms of people who air their dirty laundry on social media, I think one big factor is the innate human nature of seeking validation for their strong thoughts and emotions….but to the extent that they get too thick-skin and end up sharing too much.

  8. It’s sad how people use Facebook for stuff it was never intended to be. I try to ignore all the negativity and only look at posts by friends or watch the occasional reel. Instagram is bad about stalkers, I’m always seeing people trying to lure me onto their nasty sites by following me-if I don’t know you, you won’t be getting a follow from me!

    1. You’re right Kim, most FB users are using it wrong. It’s such a dark and pathetic place most of the time.
      I know those nasty sites are just gross. The profile pics are usually degrading and showing everything 😏

  10. That is a great movie, “Misery,”. People can be incredibly cruel. I will never understand why people feel the need to hurt other people, especially in public. No need to have space in your life for toxic people who caused you pain. Big hugs and love, Joni.

    1. Hey Joni! Misery is such a great movie.
      I will never understand it either and that’s a good thing for us! I hope you are doing great and enjoying your new home.
      Heading over to your blog now.

  11. I’ve started to question a lot of what I see on social media. Too many people post things just for the views, even if what they say is incorrect and is meant for dramatic effect. I find it harder and harder to find influencers to follow that post quality content. I find it fascinating to watch a short clip of an accurate fact of history, or a useful life survival tip, for example. The majority of my time on Facebook is just to view the posts in my Facebook groups, which are all professional communities that post tips on business advice, advice on dealing with clients, editing and writing tips, … basically stuff that is relevant to my professional development and better than reading a book because it’s real time information on what my peers are up to in my industry.

  14. Girl Belladonna, you are too doggone funny! But sistah, I know exactly where you are coming from. I have willfully deleted a lot of people, and as you said, I wonder how in the heck we got connected in the first place, when I know the real deal because I have seen it firsthand! FB is the book hiding the true face! JEEPERS! 🤣😜😂

  15. like someone once said, you can have your own opinion, but you can’t have your own facts….and an opinion isn’t beyond being challenged…I always love when someone says some thing just wrong, claims free speech gives them that right, and then freaks when someone uses their free speech to just how wrong they are…
