7:13 am
FrenchToast
Some woman is suing because her son saw the "choking challenge" (don't ask me I don't know what that is) on FB, and her son did it, and now he's dead. It's all Facebook's fault *eye roll*
7:13 am

There is an app called "Mix" that gives you all the good stuff from FB without all the idiocy.
7:17 am
crosshair
Lol, like that "eyeball shot" craze that was blinding kids. Make you wonder about the human species.
7:18 am

I never saw anything about that. But I did see the cinnamon challenge, which was so stupid.
7:20 am
crosshair
With eyeball shots the idea was to take s hit glass full of vodka, hold it over you eye, and tilt your head back. The FB theory was that it got you drunk faster.
7:21 am

At one time. A client who could write a story better than me would hand me their rough draft, then I would peer edit, make corrections, and give it back. I would sign a NDA, then hand it back. My name would never me mentioned. Then I would make a few bucks.

My heart has rooms that sigh with dust
And ashes in the hearth.
They must be cleaned and blown away
By daylight's breath.
But I cannot essay the task,
For even dust to me is dear;
For dust and ashes still recall,
My love was here.
I know not how to say Farewell,
When Farewell is the word
That stays alone for me to say
Or will be heard.
But I cannot speak out that word
Or ever let my loved one go:
How can I bear it that these rooms
Are empty so?
I sit among the dust and hope
That dust will cover me.
I stir the ashes in the hearth,
Though cold they be.
I cannot bear to close the door,
To seal my loneliness away
While dust and ashes yet remain
Of my love's day.
