Foot size: 11; Mouth: ditto;

Social media! Ah, how I love it!  A truly marvelous place where people come together and bicker about everything under the sun.  What a perfectly fascinating way to spend the time!

Don't get me wrong, there are other uses to social media besides arguing whose cat is more "adorbs" than so-and-so's, or whether Klingon is more similar to Vulcan or to Ewok, or if a fourth Jurassic Park movie is going to have the same plot line as the rest (you know, dinosaurs come to life, eat a bunch of people, people escape).  If you asked me to name one other use for social media, however, I may blank for a moment....

I am sorry to admit, but I have posted remarks on social media that I later regretted. I hastily put my (what I call) "first glance opinion" under the picture of a stupid cat doing something stupid, and it accidentally went public and then there is an outcry directed at me.  Oops.

Now comes the apology.  Something a little bit like the dreaded foot-in-mouth disease strikes me cold.  Well actually, its exactly like it.  One giant, size 11 foot coming right up. Open wide!!

I hope you won't misunderstand me: I'm not telling you to stop standing up for what you believe in.  Take a stand! Stand firm!  I'm only suggesting that you might want to think before you post.  Consider saying "I don't agree because: x,y,z" Instead of "What wagon load of dumbbells did YOU fall off of, scatter brain?!?"
See the difference?

The moral of this blog post is whenever you find yourself utilizing the social medias for what they are used best for, always remember to think before you act like a blithering, inconsiderate, stupid moron!

I'll probably regret publishing this blog post later...good thing I have a mouth to match my foot.

You might be a homeschooler if...

Those of us fortunate enough to have been homeschooled sure get a bad rap. Every day and from every walk of life we get these same, stale, old, lame one-liners:

You might be a homeschooler if:

Your social life is viewed to be one rung lower than that of a benedictine monk.
Directions to your prom was "Down the hall, through the kitchen on your left".
Strangers always asked you the question  "You do know the earth is round, right?"
To which you always answered "Yeah, I mathematically proved that when I was three years old!"
"Recess" was that time in the day when you stopped reading a book to finish adding on to your house.
Pajamas are an acceptable school uniform.
Your "Homies" literally live at your home and they're literally your siblings. That's your etymology of the word.
You got a microscope for Christmas...and you enjoyed using it.
Mom talking to herself is a Parent/Teacher conference. 
You have meal worms growing in a jar in your kitchen...on purpose.
For your teacher, everyday is bring-your-kid-to-work-day!
You can't watch a movie without pointing out every historical inaccuracy and continuity error.
School started every morning with breakfast and cleaning the dirty laundry off your desk.
"Sick day" meant doing schoolwork when you're sick.
You know these one-liners are for the most part true.


Blah dee blah!  So lame.  What's worse is that these show up on the Internet, Social Media, Greeting Cards, and people even tell you to your face!! I've decided that its time to redefine the homeschooled child with my own one-liners directed at public-school-kids!  Observe:

You might be a public school kid if:

You're not a homeschooler.

Alright. That's all I got so far.  Come to think of it, that may be all I need.  I don't want to make public school kids cry or anything.  Maybe y'all can help me think up a few more!
