“ Lately I feel like somebody made a big mess and I’ve got my mop and I’m mopping the floor and the folks who made the mess are there (saying) ‘you’re not mopping fast enough. You’re not mopping the right way. It’s a socialist mop.’

For all the social media newbies out there - this one comes from my mother... warning this is hilARious:

jakks:

I just received this email from my mother.

Jaica,

While trying to fix my stupid facebook password that they keep rejecting, I accidently registered for another facebook account.  Don’t they know I am already there?  Are they totally stupid????  It cannot be ME!

I GIVE UP!  They do not make it easy for this Baby Boomer.

The younger generation can have this way of communicating.  All I wanted was to accept a few new facebook friends AND see the pictures of my daughter’s wedding where I was tagged.  Well, I AM TAGGING FACEBOOK AS stupid.  Did I commit a social networking boo-boo?  I don’t care.  I am frustrated!  I have had it.

I quit.  They may have lost me forever in  whatever it is that they have me in.
