FaceBook – Mr Knitter

I had grown tied of Facebook some time ago, but kept it open due to the dog training as they only communicated via that and posted the classes and so called homework on it. So, as we no longer go to the training classes I decided to get rid of my account. I joined 12 years ago, and at the time I thought it was a great thing, however, over the years I have grown tied of it and with the data handling and general BS all over it I decided, enough was enough. Yesterday I dowloaded all 3558 photographs I had on it, and pressed the delete button, with no regrets.

Today I imported all the images into my iMac’s iPhoto, and it was nice seeing all the things I had done over the 12 years, and especially seeing photos of Lilu, from when she was young back in 2006 up to a few days before she passed away. Some of the photos I did not remember, so made me smile, and others that are very close to my heart. One of them I have added to this post from back in 2006. I have far to many ones that I am fond of, but this is one of my all time favourite photographs, so I hope you like it too.

I was a member of a group on FaceBook that was against misuse of disabled parking by the able bodied. I made a few posts relating to people using the spaces without a disabled badge, but one post hit a few nerves of people. I was told that I was uncouth as I told a woman who was very able bodied that she should not use the space as she clearly was not disabled. One member said that my action does not help the disabled, which I find quite an insane remark.

The hypocrisy was that there were lots of posts, and I really to mean lots of posts saying “I keyed the car”, “I put a nail under the tyre, fuck ’em” & “I let their tyres down, bastards!”, yet not a single critique from anyone about the vandalisation of other people’s property, which in my mind is uncouth, and illegal, but I received the remarks. Needless to say I decided to leave the group as it does not know what it really wants, and I for one didn’t want to waste my time.
