Amazing logic?

Oh, no, Marcie! That is a major breach of trust

Addict’s got get her fix.

I know it’s a silly quest, but I’ll go ahead and ask. Maybe someone has seen such a website? The basic idea would be two icons per identity. One basically like now, where you can say whatever you want about yourself, but next to it would be a second icon that would summarize the public reactions to your posts. Basic idea is to use the reputation icon to filter out people who waste my time. Any leads? Or even questions how it could work?

Guess she didn’t really “delete”..

slippery slope

Grabbing the tail of the dragon.

“Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in” – Michael Corleone, The Godfather: Part III

I had a friend who quit drinking about three times a year for the 20+ years I knew her.

Just because Marcie quit social media doesn’t mean that Joe can’t post pics himself. He’s being unreasonable here.

Ah, that “one little one won’t hurt” is how you end up falling off the wagon.

Well, that lasted all of two days.

So much for New Year’s resolution.

that is why we need to outlaw unSocial Media for minors and limit adults to 1 hour a day

She deleted her accounts. She can’t post anything. Unless she lied?

Joe will come back to find the salad wilting on the table, the entree charring in the oven, and Marcy crouched in a corner, working the phone.

Giving up social media is like giving up the phone, it’s another way we communicate

I knew she’d crack.

Cigs aren’t like shooting illegal drugs, done in dark isolated spots. Nor are they sold in shady deals in back alleys. Reasons they’re hard to quit.

“A friend suggested I stop smoking, so I decided to quit cold turkey. I still smoke, but i haven’t had a cold turkey in three months.”

And that’s how Marcie fell back into her “addiction”.

This is like checking out ebay for me.

“I quit……. mumblebuyingsmokesmumble”

It always starts with just one…
