Even though the show was well before my time, that makes me think of the Honeymooners and Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) saying "One of these days, Alice. Bang! Straight to the moon!"

Back when domestic violence was funny! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain

I am not annoyed. I feel sad about couples i know where one of the partners is continually provoking the other in small ways, to make them jealous or react in aggressive way. My man and i have taken vacations with one of the couples and it feels sad to be around them. It is as if this is the way of the provocative one of pushing the other person away.

Couples who post on Facebook about having hashtag soulmated. Bleurgh! There may only be one could who does this but boy are they nauseating.

The worst Facebook posts are the ones where the spouse isn't even on Facebook. So Larla will post "happy nine-month anniversary to you, Larlo. You are so amazing, you complete me, and I don't know how I was able to draw a breath before I met you. You hung the stars, the sun, the moon, and the galaxy has you to thank for making it better." Meanwhile, Larlo has no Facebook account. This also applies to similar messages to kids on their birthdays.

See, I sort of agree with you on the spouse/anniversary thing.

However, I disagree with you on the childrens' birthdays. I have many friends and acquaintances whose kids are different ages from my kids. I see them anywhere from once a year to once a month. I've met their kids. I like their kids. But I'm not in the same sphere with their kids and frankly their kids are generally below my radar. But I like to know when the kid has a birthday and maybe one or two details about the birthday so that the next time I see the kid, I have something to say to them, even if it it's just a belated happy birthday. Or can make a quick comment about the kid's birthday party or whatever. To me, this one of the reasons FB was created, a social network, so that we can share social information between friends and acquaintances.

Give me birthday announcements and take off the religious, political and chain mail (Like if you've rubbed your kittty's tummy today!) crap any day.

This! Especially when I know that it's a sham. Who are they trying to fool?

It depends on when they got it. We have a shared email address that dates back to when you could only have one email address with one account. It has morphed into the school one too- so we both don't have to get inundated with all those emails. I curate it and DH accationally looks at it. It is useful to have the same email address for so long as so many don't have to keep up with an ever changing one.

And THIS is why the term curate has jumped the shark. It used to be that the works included in art shows were curated. Then the content of a birch box is "curated". Now, emails are curated.

I'm surprised he/she didn't tell us about only expecting 'artisanal' emails. Another word that has jumped the shark

"Accationally"? This doesn't improve my view of people with a shared email.

thats probably an autocorrected occasionally. Although surely one of them could get another account for friends (shrugs).

Why would autocorrect change occasionally to accationally. It's auto CORRECT.
