I swear this cat is jealous of my laptop. As I was trying to type, she kept jumping up on it like she wanted me to see HER and not the screen, haha. The lovable pest is finally taking her nap. She is most active at dawn and in the evening. She is also eating more and gaining weight. We’re glad. She was too skinny when she got here. Tom weighed himself and then he weighed himself holding her, and she weighs about 4.3 pounds. 

A part of me thinks it would be cool to have a golf cart. That would be easier for coming and going to the pool as opposed to the bike or on foot, and it's not something I would be afraid to drive. We just wouldn't use it enough for it to be worth the money. If we were active at the clubhouse and in and out of people’s houses here, then maybe. 

I am changing the way I use Facebook in light of the fact that I am not allowed the degree of privacy I would like to have. I just don’t understand Facebook. They go out of their way to make contacting those outside of our circle very hard, yet they want us to friend-mix like crazy. It really annoys me that when a friend “likes” or comments on something I post, all their friends can then see it. Same goes for anything I “like” and comment on. Whether it’s a friend’s post or a public group post; whatever I “like” or comment on is open for all to see. It isn’t that they could use anything I post against me; it’s just none of their business unless I want to make it their business. Facebook shouldn’t decide for me who gets to see my likes and comments. I can make the things people post to my wall visible to me only, but there is very little control we now have over privacy with other things over there these days. Facebook isn’t Twitter or my blogs. I’m much pickier as to what I share there and who sees what. If a friend is friends with someone I don’t like or don’t trust, I don’t want them to see my stuff just because our mutual friend “likes” it or has something to say about it. A lot of people seem to have the attitude that it’s ok to share people’s stuff if they don’t know about it, and while I see their point, I also don’t. Say you just speeded down the road. You didn’t get caught, but you still broke the law, didn’t you? 

I just wished my niece Rebecca a happy birthday tomorrow, and I don’t see why my other friends should be notified of this in their news feeds, but they will be. 

I “liked” and commented on something the cat rescue people posted to their page and a couple of my friends “liked” it. I was like, WTF? That’s really sweet of you but – uhem – I wasn’t talking to you. 

I shared a post from a public group and somebody I never even heard of ended up “liking” it. Her name was Samantha. She’s a young black woman. Again, I know it’s totally harmless, but that’s not the point. If I don’t know you, you shouldn’t be able to like anything on my wall. I double-checked my settings and I don’t allow random people to “like” or comment on anything of mine that is public. My first thought was that it was a friend of Andy's because the name seemed familiar, but it was not. This person and I aren’t listed as having any mutual friends so I don’t know who it is. 

I just don't see the point of having a Friends Only account if everything our friends “like” and comment on is going to be seen by their friends or else I would post everything publicly. Because of Facebook’s determination to air out almost everything I do there, I am only going to use it for direct messages. I may still share my blog and Ask links there, but like I told Andy, don’t “like” or comment on anything he doesn’t want his sisters or anybody else to know about. 

I am going to go read now, and since losing weight is out of the question for me, I will at least try not to gain anymore today! 

Tammy said Mark broke his foot at work. Ouch! I hope it’s not too serious.
