    Perfect example. Girl you had two kids and they're not even 3, this doesn't apply to you, yet.

    And what about the one who has twins? I message and say congratulations on having two babies to the same father and I got unfriended? :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

    I use Facebook sparingly, mainly to run a couple of pages. Rather than unfriending people I unfollow them if they are clogging my feed with content I don't want to see. I can still check in on them if needed or god forbid I can arrange an actual face to face catch up!
    Social media is certainly addicitve, I try to limit my time on it or I get nothing else done! Switching off for a couple of days is hard but worth it.

    Y'all heard of 'Snapchat Dysmorphia'? Apparently people are seeking out plastic surgeons to make their faces look more like Snapchat versions of themselves. I'd say it's a bunch of shit but professions say it's a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder which is real enough, I guess.

    I hope my niece, currently 15, can escape all this trendy, stupid bullshit long enough to make it to adulthood. She was teased about her weight online once, which is ridiculous. She is in no way overweight. But I guess teen girls take that kind of talk seriously and it really bothered her. I'm so glad I grew up in the '80s.

    What Is Snapchat Dysmorphia? The Troubling New Plastic Surgery Trend

    So does my partner, she uses it but I don't get it because everytime I find something cool, like someone has made it, but they're not selling it? So it angers me because I really want it but it's like an idea and you pin it and then.. I dunno, you make it? Lol fucked if I know. :sweatsmile:

    What bothers me about Pinterest is sometimes you'll see a picture of a DIY project and not only are they not showing you where to just buy one, but it doesn't have directions or a link to a site that has the directions.

    I don't want to overuse it just yet, Like, it's been so long it hasn't come natural yet. It's still special when I say "my wife". :)

    It's great for recipes. Between Pinterest and YouTube, cookbooks don't need to exist.

    Yeah, that can be frustrating, but usually the next pin down the line will lead you somewhere promising.

    It'll be old news for me and my girlfriend by the time we get married. Among our friends, we're the cute couple they're jealous of. People forget we're not actually married.

    are you sure? normally when someone thinks they're the cute couple their friends are jealous of, they're actually the annoying couple that their friends wish would learn to differentiate how they act in public vs in private.

    I guess you're all used to some pretty shitty friends...lol my friend group is a bunch of gay men and they tend to be pretty honest even if it's something you don't want to hear. The stereotype is true at least for them lol us sassy gays.
