To all my new friends

Its always exciting getting a new friend request.  Its even cooler seeing that people you know, know people you know and you didn't know it!    You totally know what I'm talking about!

I have added a lot of new friends lately, people that know me but might not actually know me.  So...I figured I would throw this out there as a ???  Not sure

But, here is my disclaimer....as I've gotten in trouble before because of FB! and no, not just from my mom.  I get in trouble with her without FB all the time.

So...back to my disclaimer, first my FB disclaimer

• I tend to post funny stories about my kids...If I post something that could be potentially embarrassing  to one of my kids, and I do that often, please do not read it to your children.  I enjoy sharing funny stories but would never intentionally want it to harm one of my children.  I mean this is common sense people.  If I post because C1 reports that he doesn't have any trouble with the ladies and he knows everything about them, so no worries...and you read this to your son or daughter....Need I say more.  Potentially embarrassing situation for him I wont allow that.  I have unfriended someone for this before.  We enjoy reading stories about our friends children because it makes us realize that our kids are not the only nuts out there...that they are all like that...but we dont want to hurt their feelings!  So, read it, enjoy it but dont repeat it please.
• I tend to post that I am getting ready to strangle, bury in the back yard, tie to a tree, or sell my children.  Please do not take that literally.  I love my children more than my own life, and as you know, because you feel the same way a lot of days, we want to strangle, buy, tie up or sell at times.  I am just dumb enough to post it!
• I often, quite often, threaten my husband on FB.  Please do not repeat this to him.  He knows that I want to slap him upside the head...I tell him often, but, he would be quite upset if he knew I was telling a lot of people that I wanted to slap him.  See first bullet point...I am actually quite surprised at how many of my friends never post about wanting to slap their husbands upside the head.  Maybe they are FB friends with their hubbies?  I am not and he knows it.  We are good like that.
• I rarely swear on FB. But sometimes it just fits.  Remember kidney stone post!?!  If you are offended by bad language...this is just a heads up.  I dont do it very often because I often leave my fb open on my computer, except when KLP comes over, and I dont want my kids reading it.  And I would imagine that same things happens in your house.  I dont post it so my kids or your kids dont read it.

Now...I also post a link to my blog on fb.  Here is my blog disclaimer...its bigger...

• I swear a lot on my blog(sorry mom)  Basically, everything I avoid on FB, being slightly crude, or rude or language, I do on my blog(sorry mom)
• I apologize to my mom a lot on in blog
• I NEVER use names in my blog.  If I am referring to someone I use initials.  My children I use C1, C2, and C3.  Hubby is just Hubby.  
• I bitch about people in my blog.  I DONT USE NAMES.  My blog is my personal outlet.  I complain about situations, and yes even people.  I never even use initials when I complain about a person, or situation.  Actually, I never complain about someone personally.  Example, I complained about C3's situation in Baseball.  I was not picking on his coaches personally...just a coaching decision.  I complained about a Football issue.  I did not personally attack the coach, I attacked a coaching decision.  There is a difference.  I would never attack someones character or personality.  If they are in a position of coaching or leading, and I am not happy with a decision, I am likely to complain about it.  Again, I am not personally attacking someone, I am complaining about a decision.  If you dont like it, Tough!  This is my personal blog and if I want to complain about something I will.  And I have every right to complain.  I do a ton of volunteering, or am often voluntold by KLP.  (wait till she sees what I voluntold her for recently)  I can bitch if I want to bitch.  I ask that if you know the person, or the situation, please use common sense about repeating my complaint.  I never complain to hurt someone, only to vent my frustrations.  If you choose to repeat it especially if you happen to know that person....shame on you.  
• I tell funny stories about my kids, and yes, they could potentially be embarrassing...please see Bullet 1.  
• I bitch about hubby, please see bullet 3.

Ok, I think that is it...I love having people read my blogs, respond to my fb posts. I have been burned before, by someone reading a kid post to their kid and someone who knew who I was talking about in a blog post and they told them.  So this is my disclaimer to cover my ass. 

Read it, enjoy it, but dont share it to hurt me or myself.  That is not fair.  If you dont like it, dont read it or unfriend me.  I will not be offended. Nothing offends me!

Holy shit!   A blog post that is not about the house fire!!!  WOOHOO!!!  And...its not bitching about someone or something!  I think I am making great progress...Gold Star anyone?  How bout a Pepsi?  Lunch?  Anyone? Anyone?
