Ain't it the truth!
I am soooo grateful (mostly) that I don't play FB.
These endless blatherings are funny until you manage to get caught up in one.
John - Yes it is.
Sue - I know. FB can be a lose/lose situation.
Bill - Some are just too crazy NOT to say something.
Perfect 🤣
CC - It's all true isn't it?!
Argggghhh! It's maddening! So glad I'm not on it.
Allen - You don't what your missing... Wait, you read the joke didn't you. You DO know what you're missing.
With all the complaints lately from the Left (which happens to be my side of the political spectrum) that Facebook somehow brainwashes users into doing things like vote for Trump and not get vaxed, you do in fact get a diversity of opinion as your joke illustrates (whether that was the intended point or not.) It may not be the ideal exchange of (excuse the pun) ideas, but what is?
Of any of my posts got a tenth of this number of responses I would be amazed.
*sigh*
A perfect parody of fb!
PS. Henri was a lot of rain and wind, but that's it.
Kirk - One of my neighborhood FB pages has a "masks in school" war going on right now.
Kathy - I usually bail when they start getting too long.
Cloudia - Me too, 13 times.
Shaw - I saw some bad flooding on the news. Glad you didn't get that.
And 8 more to blame it all on Obama.
Lady - Is 8 enough?
