Don't Facebook My Funeral

Well I have never witnessed it before in my Facebook timeline.  But, today was my lucky day, obviously. I am scrolling along seeing who were bragging, nagging and bitching on FB this morning.  Then all of a sudden I see a dead man lying in a coffin.  I knew it wasn't Halloween so I figured it was the real deal.  If anyone knows me, they know I do not like seeing dead people in caskets or funerals.  It's all very morbid and sad.  But, today one of my friends, who just lost his father, felt the need to share it with his Facebook friends. Self Included!  I was mortified and horrified all at the same time.  I have even seen websites dedicated to the funeral "selfie" how gross! But, I am not judging him (or them) but I think the dead especially a parent deserves a little more respect and privacy than having him laid up in a casket dead on Facebook.  That's a photographic memory that I don't want to save.  But, I am sure he had his reason. But, to all who is reading and listening, family and friends.  Do Not Facebook My Funeral. 
Thanks!

Liar Liar Pants on Fire!


It was a
  Real Talk with Day and Nikki 
night on The 5by5 and it was a lot of fun. Nikki and I both reside in Indiana so we have been getting our fair share of the snow this winter and we are both over it.  It's cold, wet and icy and I could careless if we had a white Christmas or not this year. We also gave a shout out in memory of  Nelson Mandela and his legacy that he leaves the world.  I sing Happy Birthday to Nikki while she wishes Happy Birthday to Raven Symone. Finally we get to our topic of lying as we discuss the events surrounding Dayna Morales.  We then ask the question.  When is it appropriate to lie? Listen for our answers to that question and a whole lot more.
