Things I don't want to see on Facebook

[essayel]

Foremost of which is a post from my daughter that says "GRILLPAN ON FIRE! ON FIRE!!! HOW DO I PUT IT OUT????"

I'm assured it's not as bad as it sounded.

Hmmm... maybe suggest that she should try consulting the fire brigade before facebook?

The thing I should have remembered about my daughter is that she's a drama student - with an emphasis on the drama!

It all looks fine to me, though perhaps she could have washed out the pan to avoid future conflagrations? I'll pooke her again about it when she's hungry.

Well, it couldn't have been too bad if she took the time to update her facebook while it was happening, right? O_o

[wulfila.livejournal.com]

I was going to say the same thing.

[essayel.livejournal.com]

I think she put it out first but it's a nice dramatic thing to say!

[essayel.livejournal.com]

She's a very committed thesp so bound to make a nice dramatic mountain out of a comparatively minor molehill.

Updating facebook though!! It's easy to see where the priorities lie.

Lol. :D It's one my favorites, I've had it a long time. It seems to sum up the bulk of my life pretty well. X)

The first time that happened to me, I chucked cat litter on it because I didn't know what else to do!! lol

[essayel.livejournal.com]

I bet that did the trick!!

LOL, kids, eh?

[anghara13.livejournal.com]

Oh love, I think I might have commented on that, "Turn off the grill. Don't panic. Call me."

But I didn't see it, so, hopefully the house is not burned to the ground and everything is fine? But thanks for the laugh, because, oh lord, I did, I'm sorry!!!!

[essayel.livejournal.com]

I did comment to it and had a blanket reassurance that everything was fiiiiiiiiiiiiine!

Seems to be as well. She remembered to use a wet tea towel, once the first panic had subsided a bit.

Glad you could laugh about it. I did too. You have to don't you?

[anghara13.livejournal.com]

You so do, although just occasionally the laughter might be a little strained, depending on what it was got broken/damaged/hurt....

Luckily, sounds like no major damage done, so all is well and yes, laughter is probably appropriate.

There have been many surprising bits on my daughters' FB, and although I haven't seen 'this' yet, I can see it.
I'm glad it wasn't as bad as she made it sound. I see alot of high drama on FB, but then I see immense shallow, all I care about is "Mafia Wars" too, so I guess it just depends on who's page you're on. Like life...
;)

[essayel.livejournal.com]

I couldn't get into Mafia Wars - all that aggression! Mind you it must be quite liberating if you like that kind of thing. I just poke Farmville and occasionally mess around in My Vineyard because I like the grape squishing process.

Facebook is a high drama venue. I much prefer LJ.

yikes! not good to read on facebook at all...

[essayel.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I've read things on there that disturbed me far more than the possibility that the house is on fire!

Teenagers *facepalm*

Exhibit #1 on Why I Don't Have My Parents as My Friends on Facebook. :D Grated, they're not even on Facebook, but you know.

[essayel.livejournal.com]

Yep she's defriended me twice for various reasons. then friends me again so she can IM me about dinner without having to come downstairs

[anghara13.livejournal.com]

I've sat on one sofa, while my best friend and housemate sat on the other, in the same room mind, im'ing about who's turn it was to put the kettle on!

Yes we're daft. And yes, she won, I put the kettle on more often than she did... then again, I drink a lot more tea than she does... *grins*

[bitchy-brat.livejournal.com]

Um... If memory serves me right, weren't you, Dee and myself all in the same room playing MM together im'ing whose tag it was?

[anghara13.livejournal.com]

I do believe we were, yes.... oh dear, the daftness is spreading!
