Despite the fact that tons and tons of people have complained to Facebook about their public activity being flagged in their friends’ feeds, Facebook continues to do nothing to give people added privacy. Why is it so important to Facebook that our friends be informed of our public activity anyway? Hey, I just sneezed. Do all my friends really need to know that?

I found a really cool site I like but I want to keep it to myself because I know some people would gladly follow me there and I think we all need a little corner of the web all to ourselves where we interact with no one we know from other sites or in person. The only one I’ve mentioned it to is Tom. But of course, I can’t “like” or follow them on Facebook or else Facebook will take it upon themselves to inform my friends about it. Next thing you know Facebook is going to be telling all our friends when we take a dump. Being followed around on various sites can be flattering to some degree, but it can also be annoying, and depending on who you are, it just might even put the creep in creepy.

Well, for whatever it may be worth to my Facebook friends, I never follow the news feed. I see what’s on top when I check for messages, but if it’s any consolation to you, I don’t care what your latest level of achievement is in the games you play, I don’t care what friend you just wished a happy birthday to, and I don’t care if you “like” your local diner. Still want to know the important things going on in your life, though, so… Messenger!

Speaking of which, Tammy messaged me to say they are in fact going to be evacuated. Mark will be staying at work and she will be going to the girls’ place. Kind of makes me wonder if Florida would really be a good place for us. If I think traffic and other things wake me up enough of the time here, do I really want to add storms to the mix even though some storms can be really cool and actually kind of fun? And where the hell would we go if we were evacuated? To a school with a bunch of strangers, half of which let their unruly kids run around screaming up a storm?

She also said that Becky had a broken wrist but didn’t go into detail. She just had surgery to replace a break in two places in her arm so how she ended up with a broken wrist is beyond me. I don’t know if she reinjured herself or if the doctors fucked up.

I want to thank those who have bought my book. I appreciate it big time. I’ve been in one area or another of the arts and entertainment business most of my life and I can assure you it’s a very black-and-white world. You’re either a nobody who struggles or you’re rich and famous, and believe me, fame is the last thing I want. I don’t have enough look-alikes to be able to blend into public wherever I go. I’m smaller than the average woman and my face is kind of unique looking as well. So screw fame. Just buy my book. :-)

Becky’s GoFundMe account has only generated $305 from seven different donations. I’m kind of surprised since she has hundreds of Facebook friends but then again, who knows how real they are?
