"If a cop pulled you over and said you were doing 55 in a 25, would you ask them if they were sure of the speed limit? Would you ask them "oh sir, are you sure that it's against the law that my headlight is out?"
Probably not. Because he/she is the expert, no?
Let's take this for example in my business. I serve food and drinks for a living.
Woman sits at my bar.
"Hi!", I say, "can I help you find something".
"Oh well, the guy downstairs says I can get food to go. "
"OK", I add, "but look at the upstairs menu, some items have changed and it is more current."
"Oh, are you certain ....?"
"Yes, I am sure, look at the menu".
"But the guy downstairs said.."
"I understand this, but as I am telling you, the paper menu isn't the current one".
I could leave the part out where the same young man who gave her this menu suggested she order grilled shrimp and sausage...covered in diced tomatoes and green onions...the one that comes with a sauce, over top of mashed potatoes.....to eat, while walking down the street, but I think it just added to the understanding that I have the better knowledge. Now, I'll be happy to have you take my apron and begin working for my company, but for now, let's decide I know better.
I firmly suggest fries instead of mashed potatoes....and put the order in.
"ooh, ooh!!!", she says, "I almost forgot, I wanted to also ask about the ... ... ..."
You know how the story goes. She, of course was going ask about one of the items that we discontinued about 5 months ago....
:)
Let me be the expert, thanks!

I mean, wow.
******* What I am about to be posting hasn't even been read by me yet..
The instant I caught it, I knew......I just copied......
Here I am.
Ready to make a move.
This may or may not be the only post which actually is my Mother's status.
But this.......
Is..
ONE WEEK.
after joining Facebook.

OK, so I know I'm really a newbie to FB, and a tech ignoramus but I want to add my maiden name to my profile and can't figure out to do it. Tried editing my profile but that didn't work. Anybody??
( NOTE....by the time I got to this message her Maiden name is there)
IGNORAMUS?
Ignoramus.
It's interesting that my Mom would have such a word in a Facebook status.
I will take up a topic of ignorant people.
Today I am sitting on a bus with what I would constitute ignorant people.
They were just as much prone to what I am referring to as the Facebook generation.
You have your typical high school couple who got pregnant and decided to have a little one. . . 2 years later.
It's sad.
Really, the kid's happy. Anyone would come by and say....oh so....cute.... so.. happy.
but I say.
Omg the kid had some candy and you should be wiping it's face...
:( not to mention the cavities . but like red sticky . . . substance . . um....now...on their hands...on the seat...the germs.. . . kids.
had a baby.
they are on their phone. playing. Facebook.
kid.
SCREAMING.
happily. GREAT.
SCREAMING
omg ... just say...
hey. on a . . bus... um.
lower it a little....or just like...
can you PAY ATTENTION to your child???
just a little.
for the sake of company.

my rant for the day.
patting myself on the back here.

Welcome to my blog.
I am of the Facebook generation,
and it hit me...
no matter how many things I have had the nerve to say on there have I ever felt the need to completely stop writing a status message.
I have my nieces on there. They are not naive. They are 14 and 16. Been there, done that. It's like...I remember where I was their age (if anything, transcendence will prove true).
So i am just me.
I live my life with good things...
My father took up the Facebook habit long before my mother.
I am not the same way with my father. Not to get too personal, but we got to know one another at a later point in life. My dad and I are more like friends. I never feel like I have to hide ANYTHING from my father.
Plus, He's gaming, that's not my thing on there.
He just posts silly shit when he just doesn't get what I am referring to...and goes about business that I have nothing to do with.
I appreiciate that my mother is already with more friends on her Facebook than associates of mine have had for years. But, she's already using words...no, not words. . . . omg lol and dykywsbis? (didn't you know you were supposed to be in school?)!!!!!!
Idk it's just like she's a senior citizen!!!!!
i am ranting.
this is the blog.
rants.
shit you think and can't say...or won't say....
or choose not to talk about.
it's my opinion
i am one human in touch with reality...
from the perspective of someone a little older, yet younger enough to have respect. and understand the metaphysical side to life in America. 2010...till whenever I stale of this blog. or have writers block.
man. i live for new things... go getting my new adventure.
my mom joined facebook.
welcome.
