"to make her life perfect" sounds like code for being about as big an enabler as someone can possibly be. this kid will have a tough road ahead of her if she's been coddled all the time.

Another line that struck me is "being her best friend". This is often code for never disciplining the child nor setting any limits, and the outcome is pretty predictable.

Every time I believe that I have read the dumbest thing possible on Facebook, something tops it.

A young female acquaintance writes:

"Y'all should follow my dog on Instagram because she's awesome!"

The latest from the "You're still hot, even if you weigh 400 pounds" crowd.

Incredibly, it is one of my male friends who posted this. I gather that he has a chunky girlfriend.

Who said anything about a size zero being attractive? I'm not fond of anorexics, they look like POWs. Facebook bitches, try being something under the plus side just for health sake. There is nothing attractive about your fat asses in those motorized shopping carts at the Walmart.

I don't like rail thin women. Big doesn't really bother me either, but there are limits.

The latest from the self pity crowd.

A wife of a friend posts a pic of her kid, along with the kid's grandma.

The kid is by all accounts, an average kid, and as far as I know, the grandma has won no Nobel Prizes, or otherwise set the world on fire.  But that doesn't stop the hens from their delusions.  One of the comments:

Beautiful people living beautiful lives, leaving impact. That's what it's all about.

All they are is a temporary carbon footprint.

Maybe somebody can explain to me what this means.

 

From the same poster. This apparently means that it's the man's fault if a woman doesn't reach her potential.

All I know is when a woman is loved correctly she will wake the neighbors.

Just in case you haven't had your vaccination of self worth today.

ha, we had a neighbor at one apartment that used to, ahem, let everyone know when she was being loved correctly. 

a few years later we saw her working at the cheesecake factory and she came over and said hello. my wife couldn't remember her, so i gently reminded her of tracy's vocal abilities. we had a nice little chuckle over that.

You ought to redo the quote and post it on Facebook.

[Tank]

turn it into a meme, arch.

[arch stanton]

I don't do memes. I don't do social media. I do one liners then get on with my life.

Here is the problem.  I'm 51. Most of my close guy friends my age aren't on social media (they're smart).  Besides my family, my facebook feed is a lot of wives of friends; my wife's friends; ect.  And you know what?  Most of those people have no sense of humor.  No ability to detect sarcasm.  This shit would go over their heads like a comet.  I reposted an Onion article once, and my sister messaged me and had zero clue that it was humor, and thought it was real news.

Chuck and Bruce are my two angelswin fb friends.  I am fine with that.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Yeah, understood. Plus it looks like she's been murdered.  That may not go over well with the females.  Someone needs to put it on FB to get it into circulation, might be the next big meme.
