No Tasing Six Year Olds or their Mothers

My new catch phrase is, "Never give me a taser." There are just too many stupid people in the world.  How else do you explain shows like, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo?"  And I don't have enough patience.

Let us focus for a minute on her greedy mom.  Here's a woman who gave her infant a stripper name at birth, the poor girl never stood a chance.  Then she capitalizes on her child by parading this ugly toddler around in front of every willing photographer on the planet, knowing that the world is pointing and laughing.

I have a daughter.  She's a real human being, and I would hate to think that random people like me, were writing stuff like this about her.  My job as a mother is part education and part protection.  But all June Shannon sees is the $20,000 per episode paycheck, attached to her little girl's curls.

I really cannot say what irritates me more, the fact that this woman has been called a good mother for her exploitative ways or that there are people out there who invest real time in watching the show.

Use Facebook as...

DesertButterfly took one more step along the road of branding today.  She created a Facebook page.  Even as Evelyn, I don't use FB as much as your average person, so I'm hardly an expert.  But I remember it being much easier to create a profile on a social networking page.  I had to call Dannie to help me just to get past the add for add placement. I still can't like other pages or add artists as friends.

There is an option to, "use Facebook as DesertButterfly."  What does that mean?  Who else would I use it as?  That's who created the account.  That's who signed into the account.  I clicked it, hoping that it would make it easier to peruse and like and add a little easier.  But nothing seems to have changed.

I need to hire a teenager to come and teach me how to use my FB.  How sad is that?
