Post THIS as your status

Lately the world of Facebook statuses seems to be dominated with the “If you have… yadad yada yada, please post this as your status” posts. Now. I am not an entirely heartless bitch, although, I’m sure, there are SOME who would disagree. Ex Husbands, ex friends whatever.  But I draw the line at bombarding MY status with whatever plea people have on that day for fear of dying, going to hell or some other unpleasant thing that might happen to me if I don’t post.

So forgive me if I don’t post that I love God, because, quite frankly I wouldn’t go that far anyway. And if I do go to hell, well I’ll likely see most of you there, I’ll save you a seat, tea or coffee?

And I know that disabled kids do not have a disease, I have worked with them and know people who have disabled kids, and I don’t think it is a taboo subject, and that is NOT why I won’t post it. I won’t post it, because it won’t make any difference if I did. The only people who will see it is the people on my friends list and they KNOW me. They know how I think and won’t think any less of me if I post something or not.

And yes, I am a mother, but I’ll be damned if anyone is going to make me CHOOSE between my kids. The most recent statuses I have seen are “If you love your son” “If you love your daughter” and Celebrate your first born”. Well first off, I have 3 kids. 2 girls and a boy. My first born is no more or less important than any of the others. My son is no more or less loved than my daughters. I am proud of ALL of my kids, so no I won’t entertain any of those statuses either.

I’m sorry for all of my friends who have suffered losses, but I won’t be posting that one either. Posting about it will not change a thing, it won’t bring them back. I have genuine support for ALL of my friends who have loved and lost, but that is something that I will do away from FB.

I am also aware of breast cancer. I have family and friends that I’ve lost from cancer, from whatever form it may be. But how the HELL does posting the colour of your bra help that? I don’t want to know what colour your bra is and I certainly don’t want anyone else knowing what colour mine is. What next? Post a picture of your jugs so we can see? No thanks. I know about breast cancer, but that has nothing to do with bras. All that does is get the men horny by the thought of all these lacy cups.. Well no-one is going to think of me in that way. Sorry. Actually I’m not sorry, not gonna happen. End of.

I’m sure there are countless other statuses I haven’t even touched upon, but it’s unlikely that I’ll be posting any of them as my status because whatever is posted will not make a difference. So i guess I’m one of the 97% that won’t post these stories.

So if you don’t see any more posts from me in the near future, then it’s because I have been damned to hell for eternity with a pineapple shoved up my arse. It was nice knowing you all.
