Busted by Facebook.

Facebook and I have always had a rocky relationship.  It goes against my desire to NOT live virtually, but my generation lives, breathes, and communicates through the cyber world; and I have to say, the nine months I shut down my Facebook were some of the most isolated months of my life!  Last night I wrote on my blog (by the way Becky, you were right; it was a rat!  Ewe!), sent a few e-mails, and “visited” around on Facebook.  Once I finished writing, I called mom in to look over my post (I love having an editor so handy!), and to see my new Facebook profile picture.  She edited my post (thought it was gross), then she switched over to my Facebook page;  

“Elizabeth, why do you have a pot leaf on your page?”

“Pot leaf!?!” (Snatching back computer)

Sure enough, a cute smiley-face POT LEAF was hanging out at the top of my ads list!  Now, normally my Facebook advertisements consist largely of Disneyland, new movies, shopping items coinciding with my “likes,” and other harmless stuff I don’t even pay attention to.  Not today!  The moment I pass my computer over to my mother, a pot leaf has to pop up!  Thanks a lot Facebook!!!  I launched into an “I don’t control the ads,” never seen THAT before” defense.  Fortunately mom found it funny (much funnier than I did!), and she even came up with my above title as we laughed over it again this morning.   

Moral of this tale: check your ads before handing your Facebook over to your mother, a pot leaf might be waiting there to bust you!      

One of the few approved "pots" in our household!
