The more I try to figure out computers, the more they baffle, frustrate, and totally piss the shit out of me.

I downloaded some funny pics from Facebook. Then uploaded and attached them to an email for Tom. He then asked why I keep sending snippets of conversations from my Facebook wall. But I haven’t been sending any such thing. I checked my message to him in my ‘sent’ folder and all I saw was what I sent him. He showed me the message in his inbox and sure enough, there were graphics and conversations I did NOT send. I asked how often this has happened and he said a lot but he didn’t say anything before because he thought it was just me being weird. But when have I ever been weird enough to send him a discussion about the troll from a year ago??? We live together. I tell him this shit.

I have no idea how the hell this happened but it’s got me worried about who else may’ve gotten things I didn’t intend to send them. I asked a few friends to let me know, though I think they would’ve said something. No more downloading from Facebook. Oddly enough, though, Tom’s email also included some pics I never got from Facebook. The more I try to figure out what the hell is going on, the more confused I get.

I don’t know if the recent apps I started using on Facebook are connected to that or to the surge of spam I’ve been getting, but I deleted those apps anyway.

It just hit me that he may’ve been sent a collection of funny posts on my timeline that I actually did send him one at a time over the course of time since he rarely uses his own Facebook account, and for some reason, he got a bunch of them sent to him along with pics I also remember sending. So it may not have to do with just Facebook. I just can’t figure this one out. Kind of makes me afraid to send emails with graphics, though, since now I know I can never know what else may be sent along with it. :(

Ended up napping for a few hours, so that will make it easier to meet with park people and maybe see some homes this weekend, but I will make sure I’m available for that no matter how much sleep I’ve had… or haven’t had.

Tried calling Mom twice this morning but got no answer. I’ll try in the afternoon instead. Because our connection is so fucking slow I had to use the cell.
