Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Fathers birthday. What can I say about him? He is an amazing man, his work ethic is awesome, accept when you are a teenager and think holidays are for fun not yard work. I have always been my Dads "favorite"! Hey I am just kidding!!! I do have a connection with my Dad, He teases me unmercifully and I take it, although I have been known to dish it out to him too. I have memories of Christina trying to get us to stop teasing each other because I guess it sounds mean.
When we moved back to Utah, Dad wanted something to do with his kids so he bought season tickets to BYU football. Those are some of the most fun memories I have. He also took us backpacking, hiking and fishing for many vacations. Other things I most associate with my Dad are Bar J Wranglers, scrabble and Knighton (probably because his middle name is the same as my Dads) Dad I hope you know how much I love you and I hope your day is good.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Mom gets lost in a perilous thing called the Internet!

We all know about all the dangers out there on the Internet, those sites that you want to protect from your children at all costs, and if you find they have found such sites you want to throw the computer out and then lock them in their rooms till they have reached the ripe ole age of 50. I am here to let people know about the less talked about worries of the Internet.

The main issue... Facebook. Such an average word for a black hole of apps and chats. Those who have been there will understand, with such a wide variety of things to do, from farming to being part of a mob, from owning a puppy that needs to be fed every day to owning a lollipop that only your friends can suck on. One can even kidnap to their hearts content (or till you max out on how many you can kidnap) Each application or game has its own set of rules and point/money system.

The status updates so everyone can know what you are doing or how you feel: Linda is addicted to Facebook. Those who are like me can never seem to get enough. Oh we might change the app of choice from time but there is so much to do and more every day there will never be a lack of something.

Then the chatting. you can email those who are not logged on or directly chat with those who are. I watch the bottom corner of the screen religiously waiting for someone to chat with. Did you know you can max out on those too?! A friend of mine was chatting with 6 people at the same time and was cut off for a day. Maybe it is like cutting someone off at a bar when they have too much do drink. He had had to much chat and the Facebook administrators decided that he could hurt himself if they let him keep chatting at that rate. Just like a bar they don't care if he goes to another forum and continues they did their duty.

Hey, its wonderful for finding all the friends you have lost touch with. I have reconnected with good friends, young loves and met friends friends. What a fun way to catch up on friends lives all at once and to get to know new ones.

So if you couldn't guess the times I go days or weeks with out a blog I am probably lost in the wonderful world that is Facebook. My name is Linda and I am an addict, please don't hate me just come join me on the dark side.
(now I gotta get back and check on my crops)
