Priorities should not include pink animals




Priorities are food, shelter, utilities, and health care for everyone in your house that you're responsible for, but only in REAL life. Imaginary crops, hammers, bricks and pink sheep for a freakin' Facebook game are NOT. Neither should the Facebook credits to buy any of those aforementioned items be anywhere near the top of your "must have" list. And, you definitely do not borrow money to purchase credits from your elderly parent who lives on a less than adequate fixed income. And, you absolutely should not lie and tell said parent that a grandchild is 1.) deathly ill; 2.) about to be evicted or 3.) in jail in order secure the loan that you have no intention of paying back. I mean, seriously, how low can you go?
Now, you may say that none of this is any business of mine, but it affects me in a trickle down at a sharp angle sort of way but mostly, it just pisses me off.
I'll admit that I have gotten facebook credits but never have I bought them outright. I happened to get bonus credits when I made an online purchase of two shirts from Old Navy. Most of them remain in my account on Facebook. The others were wasted on the stupid revival of Oregon Trail, which was the most hype and the biggest flop ever, in my opinion.

On another note: According to the local freecycle, someone in the next town north needs a microwave. So, later today, I'm going to deliver one to them that I don't need. I'll be glad to get it off my porch.

That is all.
