no more Facebook bombs apparently!

Actually I had been thinking of her words just this afternoon and had decided to be more careful with my posts in the future.

I just got this response from my aunt Alice:
You completely missed the point of my post - perhaps the post was too vague for you to understand. I didn't mean your posts were INTENDED to offend me (or anyone else). What I asked was that you THINK about what you post in case it COULD offend someone else. Believe it or not, Judy, the "real" birthing experience video is highly offensive to me -- whether or not YOU find it offensive wasn't the point of my post. But never mind, based on your lengthy discussion of the posts you suppose could have offended me, I'm fairly certain you'll never consider anyone else's feelings before you post, so I found a way to not be offended by anything you post in the future: I've unfollowed you, so I never see your posts. Problem solved.

Interestingly, I had just gotten over wincing in anticipation of another nasty post when opening Facebook.

And I know I said next time I'd respond by explaining her patterns of behavior, but right now I really, really don't want to.

Also, I'm not sure what to do with the check for $100 she sent. I sort of feel if I cash it I'm the bitch that upset her and greedily too her money but if I send it back I'm the bitch who returned her check. Either way, I'm sure she'll find a way to be insulted.

When Red Satin Doll and I were discussing the first nasty Christmas post, she said that Aunt Aiice doesn't know me very well. Reading this, I agree. If Alice thinks I don't care about other people, she really does not know me.

We have unfollowed each other. It's sort of a relief. I've been cringing each time I open Facebook lately.
