It’s better today here than yesterday, where the dew point was above 70 and I felt like I was swimming in soup all day. I fucking hate humidity the same way Trump hates incest laws.

Flustered or indignant? Because I could very easily see this

Those family members that don’t reach out often or come to non-holiday or non- celebration family events but invite you to thier baby shower and baby first birthday is immediately no longer family anymore in my eyes. A distant family member had a baby and we only met it when it was a week’s away from turning one but…

The day my classmates found out I moved to Vegas was the same day many old “friends” started hitting me up looking for a place to crash so we could catch up.

This is one of my occasional forays into grossing you out so hold tight: I totally would. He is pure evil, an over-privileged little twat and elitist like his wife’s father-lover, but I still totally would. He’s a hot aging twink (twunk) who needs to be hate-fucked good.

FALSE. I stand by the John Oliver version.

5 nannies have left the role in the last year, each citing supernatural incidents as the reason...

This is one of the best things about Facebook... it’s very easy to maintain “low level” friendship boiling along. I’m not sure how people coped before (I can’t even remember). Just let 2nd tier friendships fizzle?

Yeah this is annoying to me as well. I mean life happens, you can’t keep in touch with everyone the way you wish you could, but if we haven’t talked AT ALL in 7+ years... I dunno. Maybe time to let it go? Or if you really miss the person at least make some concerted effort to re-establish the friendship as much as…

I really do think it has a lot to do with people wanting it to seem like they have tons of friends, or they want to remind as many people as possible that their lives are moving forward, even if you haven’t spoken in a long time.

On the other hand, I bet sometimes people invite you/me because they don’t want to offend us by not inviting us. PLEASE, feel free to exclude me.

Yeah, I had an old friend from undergrad do this recently. She just had her kid, and the baby’s cute and stuff, but I was weirded out to get a shower invite a few months ago since she literally only communicates with me through my best friend.

Yes, I agree. When someone I only casually keep up with through social media pops up to invite me to their party or wedding, I’m annoyed. I’d rather just be like “oh they had a baby. nice.”

I don’t have Facebook or anything, I figure if someone really wants to be your friend then they will stay in touch in more personal ways. If their excuse is along the lines of ‘oh you’re not online’ then they are not real friends, just people who want you in an online tally. Those people have; in my experience; also…

Wow now that is disconnected.

I kept ONE friend from my childhood, One new one as an adult, and One of my wife’s friends. ( they’d get our kids, or vice-versa if the worst came to pass, before my own family)

On craigslist no less.

Hey I only met him because I was looking for a roommate. LOL!!

Diane sounds like me... except rich and successful.
