"Viewing"

[MissMusic]

Ever notice that when you click on the 2012 boards link, there's ALWAYS people viewing our board?  Sometimes 10 or more--and most others have 0?

We freakin' rock.

[lainikins]

Yeah, I have thought the same thing, though right now we have a few guests. There are two j12 members (myself included) viewing, but there are 6 guests. Who are these guests? Are we really that entertaining?

[starfishy]

Well one is Gina and the others are probably our MILs

[sarasansh]

One is obviously my husband.

[bantyrooster]

I show up as a guest, I think? You can change your settings so then when you lurk you show up as a guest.

We're awesome!

The "guests" are probably people with perfect Facebook lives who magically post "Haters gonna Hate" updates on FB as soon as we start discussing how perfect they are in UO or FC.

Or just "quickly throw together" a birthday party with all the Pinterest details.

Or have rational discussions with their kids about the party decor.

Or have a rational discussion with a toddler about anything. That happens?

More of an opinion, but it fits here. There should be a limit on the number of hashtags used in a post. It's obnoxious/ridiculous when the post is 1 line but the hashtags take up 5-6 lines.

There are people who claim it does. There are also people who claim they've seen bigfoot. It's about as likely.

I have rational discussions sometimes with Hanna. And then 2-3 minutes later I have the same discussion again because she forgot or didn't get the right answer. Rinse and repeat several times

OMG yes.  Or that use a hashtag that really has nothing to do with the post.  Ex. I had a friend (not from j12) posted a picture of her and her 2 kids after a face painting and referenced a workout program.  It had nothing to do with working out.  I think she just copies and pastes all her hashtags.  I just looked and she has 8 rows of them for every picture.

That's insane.

[jodielyn10]

Oh the hashtags!!! I read all of them once - it was a hate read - and she repeated one. When you don't even know that you've already used that hashtag in the same damn post because you have SOOOO MANY hashtags, it's time to re-evaluate the way you spend your time...Oh wait, isn't that how kids spell love?
