I was gonna made the odd one joke but felt like such a loser when I was typing it out. Thanks for gettin that one for me baethat name is an odd one. Get it?
so an armed home invasion suspect got arrested in my town tonight - though the attempt happened in the city. They tracked the car to my town. That would explain why city police cars where at my apartment last nightTwo other suspects are at large.
I don't necessarily attribute it all to their financial status, but I notice the trend a bit too. I see a number of friendse complaining about work or trying to sell crap. Others post what they are eating, how much they worked out, some religious view, some political view, some dumb "What city should you live it" quiz, or some obviously fake article that they regurgitate without checking its validity.
I pretty much just use Facebook as an online photo album with my sibs and our kids. There's a lot more bad than good on there anymore.
Yes! Been realizing that as well
Just saw some white trash argument whether 50 Shades of Grey is hurtful to women and then some other white trash chick started yelling that she has had a stalker before and this movie hurts her.
I usually associate it with people whom I think are stupid. And generally that extends to being stupid with money. So they'll complain about never having money in one post and announce their lease on a brand new car in the next.
A lot of these things are connected, but I don't see a lot of local bankers, attorneys, non-profit directors, etc. complaining about grocery prices, car repairs, how so-and-so is a jerk, etc. It seems to be exclusively the domain of the less-connected.
I think part of it also is that less affluent people feel less able to affect their circumstances, so ranting is their outlet, while more affluent people just work to change those circumstances. Those mindsets can be a cyclic pattern, too...people who can't/won't make changes to their circumstances tend to beholden to them (and possibly end up poor), then because of their circumstances, can't affect their circumstances.
Now, that's not to say that all poor people fall into that...of course, no generalization is always true, but I do think that inability to affect one's circumstances (and lack of money will do that) does sometimes lead people to just rant/vent.
So I am definitely not feeling 100% awesome today, but thinks this qualifies as at least 75% awesome. Always a learning curve. But white chocolate cheesecake so yum.
Before baking:
Yeah, supposed to look like hearts. A little abstract, maybe if you squint.
I'll be there by about 8:30!
Nicely said.
I'd like to eloquently add that a lot of people are just stupid and lazy.

You should check urban dictionary for what that means.
BTW, congratulations. I hope the two of you are very happy together.
