Facebook Status No-no's

1. Don't Post about your kids "poops" "blowouts," vomiting or other bodily functions.

"I survived John's first major blowout. That was intense. And a mess."

"Good thing for daddy who can catch throw up in his hands and then love a baby to sleep."

I know I'm not a Mom yet, and I might understand someday, but still .... its gross. What if I checked Facebook right before dinner? Really does all of Facebook have to know?

2. Don't post about how sore you are and how many millions of miles you ran.

"Just got back from a 10 mile bike ride ... and I have to say I enjoyed every min of it"

"Day 1 and 2 down ... 88 to go ... I better be able to jump over a building while sporting an 8 pack when I'm done!"

It just seems too egotistical. I don't post when I decided not to eat chocolate cake or about how I am tan after a day at the pool and the same principle applies. What is the point except for tooting your own horn?

3. Don't post your undying love for your spouse publicly.

"Happy Birthday to the best husband ever!! I LOVE love LOVE you so much!! Thanks for always being there for me and for loving me. You are my bestest friend!"

I think about the talk by Elder Bednar: "Sometimes in a sacrament meeting talk or testimony, we hear a statement like this: 'I know I do not tell my spouse often enough how much I love her. Today I want her, my children, and all of you to know that I love her.'

Such an expression of love may be appropriate. But when I hear a statement like this, I squirm and silently exclaim that the spouse and children should not be hearing this apparently rare and private communication in public at church! Hopefully the children hear love expressed and see love demonstrated between their parents in the regular routine of daily living. If, however, the public statement of love at church is a bit surprising to the spouse or the children, then indeed there is a need to be more diligent and concerned at home."

4. Don't post completely abstract things.

"I'll walk across the landscape into another world, strange to me, new to me, and yet ... familiar in so many ways."

"I kept my secret because I was afraid. Now I'm only afraid that it's too late."

Are you just trying to get comments? Are you really trying to deeply express yourself in a Facebook status? I don't get it.

p.s. I may have gotten a little caught up in being annoyed in this post. My apologies.
