Timesuck (I mean Timeline)

360 of your friends have signed up for timeline.
You now have timeline....(Get used to it.) 
(I have said some of this before but it is ok to repeat yourself when you are OLD) Ok folks,  I didn't ask for it.  I don't want it and I do not like it. In fact I am seriously considering deactivating my account.  It would be different if I had any choice but Facebook is acting like the Rebublithugs would if they got in power.  I can rant all I want on here and say what I want and they will be just like Mitt Rmoney who lies, looks over your shoulder and does not engage and then goes ahead and does what he wants.  Then walks away leaving you feeling powerless and unsatisfied.

Why do we have to have this?  If there is a reason tell us.  Why do I have to have my "life events" posted for everyone to see?  I am a private person.  Oh sure I blog and I write a lot of stuff but I do not share more than 1/10 of what is "me" - I don't want to and I don't have to.  Besides this is my blog I choose what goes up here.  ON FACEBOOK EVERY LIKE AND SHARE IS LISTED ON ONE SIDE OF THE COLUMN OR THE OTHER. The columns are such that if you post a picture they are cut off and if you have eyes like mine you have to enlarge the print in order to see it. And then you have to slide back and forth to see both sides of the damn thing.
Even if I wanted to use the timeline side it is filled up with crap that means nothing and there is no easy way to "fix it."  Why not give me a blank timeline and let me fill in what I want there with important life events I am willing to share?  So I have stopped posting, commenting and liking things.  I do share the Animal Rescue voting site and will link to an occasional blog post.  I did pick out a nice cover shot of the Leech Lake resort we used to go to but I have not been up there for 20 years.  I just like the picture.  BUT I do not like timeline and I do not like Facebook.  I have taken to stealing pictures from there and will share them on the blog, so if you want to "follow" me you will have to start reading my blog.
I am sure that I will write more over here since I will no longer be using the timesuck that is Facebook.   Here are a couple of things I found on Facebook.

Anticipation

Tomorrow - I am so excited! NOT!!!
Colonoscopies

Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous..... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married."
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."
8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!
10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"

And the best one of all..

12. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?"
