Tired of hearing about an old high-school friend’s house-league softball championship but still game to finding out how they’re aging? Interested in knowing if that old roommate ever made it off the pole but not interested enough in having to actually have a conversation with her? Forget Facebook – there’s better stalking grounds in town. [...]

Posted by Anonymous. This all started 20 years ago I met a cocky big mouth extremely good looking guy that I had watched grow up before my eyes into a startling handsome man we dated a few times and I spent a lot of time at his parent’s house (where he lived at the time) [...]

So how many of you parent bloggers (or non-parent bloggers who have been annoyingly misclassified by some PR agency) received a pitch on teaching your offspring Internet safety? Okay, you can put your hand down, I know we’ve pretty much all received them. Sure, teaching kids how to understand and use technology without spilling out [...]

What does this post title even mean? It means that camping as we know it might be a distant memory if Ontario Parks or TLC have anything to do with it. Remember when camping was a fun, inexpensive, relaxing family activity that was relatively stress-free save for bears and mosquitoes? Now there are many things [...]

So a mom posted a pic of her baby (apparently) huffing a bong on Facebook. Which: awww… his first bong hit. That’s SO cute! Not. Obviously, I have some serious issues with this whole situation… Firstly, marijuana is illegal in most places. Taking a photo and letting it get on the internet is just plain [...]

Facebook Son charges mother with harassment after she slanders him on Facebook

Facebook sure has been causing a lot of family drama of late. One would expect that many parents keep an eye on their kids’ Facebook pages, even if it is in a limited keep-one-eye-on-FarmVille kind of surveillance.* Heck, I expect that whatever the Facebook 2020 equivalent looks like for my by-then teenage daughter, it will [...]

FarmVille

Next time you stop by to read the updates on your child’s Facebook profile (if you even have access)* check on their farm. No seriously, check it. If it looks a little too bountiful in FarmVille, go through your credit card bill next. *(Ed. note: if they even have a Facebook profile. Seriously. Shouldn’t they [...]

Is your mom – or anyone for that matter that you think shouldn’t be on Facebook – actually ON Facebook and annoying the heck out of you? I can list a few that keep me away from developing a Facebook addiction. Facebook can be a cesspool of social awkwardness – who really wants their mother-in-law [...]

Posted by CFM. Today, I became a fan of a dung beetle on Facebook. Apparently, someone thought it would spark revolution if this tiny creature gathered more virtual pals than conservative blow-hard Glenn Beck. Thus far, Glenn Beck is outpacing the dung beetle by about 450,000 fans. It’s discouraging, but it’s not keeping me up [...]

From The Basement: About The Neighbor

Posted by Anonymous. I know what I’m doing is wrong and that I’ve finally turned into a “statistic” but I feel like I can’t help myself. I’m your average, middle class, married working woman, two kids, nice house, church going, supportive family. Everything that should make me a “good” person. Here I am in the [...]
