My Name is Maureen and I am Addicted to the Facebook App on My iPhone AND I Don't Want an Intervention!

I never run out of things to say, if you haven't noticed that by now. I try and write about things that I find amusing; usually these are things I "find" during a normal day, and sometimes things "find" me. Like today, on Facebook.

So, this is how funny my life is. 

My Friends/Family on Facebook are hilarious.

You wonder why I have a lot to laugh and talk about? My life is filled with friends who are loving, charming, kind, and mostly - funny!

I am going to shorten the names to protect the innocent here, and they can claim fame if they want to - they should - and yes, they have given me permission to repeat this conversation here on my blog, just in case you were wondering.

Because I am addicted to the Facebook App on my iPhone, I can't stop myself from commenting on EVERYTHING and ANYTHING all day long! I use it while I'm on line at the store, waiting in doctor's offices, when I'm in the bathroom, (yes, I admit it), and, well...you get the picture. I'm around little kids all day. No grown ups to talk to, so this is my WAY OUT!

Anyway, here's an example of today's Facebook banter between me and some of my very comedic friends:

Me: (New Post): 

 Dear, Dear, Lord, 
      Why did you allow Costco to sell Pop Tarts in bulk packaging, and why did I have to eat six of them today? Lord, is there a program for Pop Tart addicts? (Oh, and it's the kind with the frosting, too, Lord. This makes me even a bigger sinner, Jesus). Help me. I have three more boxes. Amen

Chris: Send them to Chernobyl. The only thing they're good for is absorbing radioactive waste.

Me: I AM radioactive waste, wise ass.

Phyll: What do you mean is there a program for Pop Tart Addicts? Why do you think every school has a PTA group?

Chris:  Well, then, keep sucking down those PopFarts and you will be detoxified! Isn't that special!

Chris:  Phyll, THAT was a scream. I wish I would have thought of it first. LOfrickinL!

Me: That's right, laugh at MY addiction! Hahaha!

Chris:  Geeze. Which one? It's like Second City there.

Me:  Ok, so I have a few ISSUES...

Nathan:  I think Maureen needs a second coming.... of ME. We're coming down soon Maureen, I just need to workout when (we being me and Victoria).

Me: Get over here so I can get an IHOP fix! Oops...add another "issue" to my list, Chris.

Me: ‎@Nathan...mind in gutter on the "second 'coming'" part. I'll leave it alone, but, hell, there's a valid reason to eat Pop Tarts right there!

Chris: There is never any reason to eat Pop Tarts. If you stop swallowing long enough to taste them you will realize that they taste like their packaging with some grease and sugar added.

Nathan: Dad, when was the last time you actually ate a Pop Tart?

Chris: At Grandma Ann's about five years ago, and they taste like shit. And they're bloody expensive!

Me: They are a bargain at Costco; hence, my "issue." Surely you've eaten worse, Chris. You are soooo hoity-toity Mr. Emeril Lagasse!

Chris:  I have eaten worse, but I refuse to buy chemically laden death-bombs because they are convenient and cheap. They really taste like shit. It ain't about being hoity-toity, it's about not wanting to support a food system that profits on your willingness to settle for food that is basically inedible. It would be healthier for you to eat the packaging.

Me: Rant! You have just staged a great intervention! I will quit Pop Tarts and just eat the packaging! Now I have Pica!

Chris:  Better than Pop Tarts! At least it's organic.

Me: LOfrickinL!

Me: Phew! Glad that's over. Next topic...

Chris: Now on to your dismal choice of socks.

Me: See my newest post....

Me: (New Post) HELP! I'm addicted to my iPhone!

(On Pop Tart Post Still): 
Chris: iPhones taste better than PoTarts

Chris: Actually I like my recent spelling better than the way it was orginally spelled.

Me: LOL!!!!!!!! Do you know how much I love you, cousin? You are the light in every day I have. You are my own personal comedian and I cherish you. Thank you for being in my life. Goodnight, sweetie.

Chris: As iSteve iJobs would say, "I'm outta here." Good night my lovely cousin. Thanks for riffin'.
