Last month I shared some of the things a Fly might see if he watched me posting on Facebook. Those posts were all kid and home related. This month, I’m sharing some of my more popular posts, some kid and home related, but some blog related ones too.
*I Posted: Once a post featuring my Crab Pockets recipe went live, I posted about it on FB. Then I got off FB for a few hours to get some errands done. When I got back, a friend had left this message on my post: “Is this supposed to say recipe for crap pockets included?”
*So I deleted the post and replaced it with this one: “January Fly on the Wall posts are up and my recipe is for CRAB Pockets. I rarely make CRAP Pockets unless my kids have been REALLY REALLY annoying!
*I Posted: Best comment on my blog EVER:
“Remarkable! It's in fact remarkable post, I have got much clear idea regarding from this paragraph. Also see my site: lose man boobs”
*Answer from a friend who misses out on the joy of spam comments: Stupid spam filter has robbed me of these unspeakably funny messages. Thanks for sharing yours!
*I Posted: I’m only 982 page views from 25,000. Could 982 of you go read one of my posts? Please?
*Answer from a friend: Would it help if I went to your blog 982 times?
*I Posted:So if I tweet, and a friend re-tweets my tweet, and I re-tweet her re-tweet of my tweet, that’s Check Mate, right? I win?

*I Posted:Husband is coming home from work because he wrenched his back and is in a lot of pain. Older son comes home from school for lunch. This is supposed to be my alone time. Did no one get the memo?
*On April 1st I Posted: Today is the day the cleaners come to clean my house and 2nd son woke up vomiting. April Fools Day is kicking my butt.
*Another April 1st Post: For April Fools Day I always tell the kids it snowed out and there’s no school. First time they fell for it, but by the 10th time, not so much. So this morning I said that it snowed and my son said “I know”. Huh? That’s not how it goes. I look out the window and it HAD snowed. Well played, Mother Nature, well played.
*I Posted:Those of you who don’t have teenagers, read no further, you don’t want to know. Those who do know what I’m dealing with: Son constantly tries to get around curfew. Last week he called 5 minutes before to say he’d be late. I said “OK, but do no do this again.” So last night 5 minutes before curfew he texted his brother to have his brother tell me that he’s be late. Seriously? He doesn’t put that much thought into his homework . . .
*I Posted: A helpful fact: If you open a bottle of Red, you HAVE to finish it, you can’t just put it in the fridge like with a White.
*Someone funnier than me answered: You can put White in the fridge???? LOL.
So that’s a peek at my Facebook page. Sound like fun? Join me (shameless plug): Baking In A Tornado Facebook page.

*Drain the vegetables, run some cold water over them and drain again.
*Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a casserole dish.
*Mix the margarine, honey, orange juice and cinnamon to make a sauce.
*Gently mix the apricots and the sauce into the vegetables.

I love your witty facebook posts. Though I'm usually a stalker, I hope you know I'm on of your 300,000,000 FB fans and always smiling. I would like to know the cure for man boobs, though. I might need that link. Alert: Today is the last day of school. From this day on, be prepared for e-mails from me searching for my sanity. You were warned. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll watch for those emails. I think we take turns talking each other off the ledge.
DeleteROFL!!! LOVE THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteI really need to pay attention to FB for more than just annoying my relatives. ;)
LOL, there's another whole world out there on FB!
DeleteI love when you do these facebook posts! I too am jealous that you get such great spam. My filter keeps all the gold from me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm jealous of your spam filter, LOL.
DeleteGotta love the Facebook comments. And that part about curfew and not putting the effort into homework made me laugh and wince at the same time!! Great job Karen!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Guess you can relate to that homework thing, huh?
DeleteI think you should do an entire post on favorite spam comments! Yours always crack me up. Why are they so funny when YOU post them, but were so incredibly annoying on my site before I added a spam filter?
ReplyDeleteThose spam comments drive me nuts. At least the ridiculous ones make me laugh!
DeleteAccording to my spam I'm a man with high blood pressure, no hair, needs a job, an apartment, a girlfriend, a pair of red bottom knock offs and a vast assortment of meds to cope with it all.
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel like I'm doing just a little bit better than the day that guy is having. :)
I always love your Fly posts.
A whole site on losing man boobs. I'm thinking maybe I should have checked it out just for the entertainment value.
DeleteWell, in all fairness, I wasn't aware that, once opened, wine could be put in the fridge.....
ReplyDeleteSame with vodka......
Now that I think about it, they can't!
DeleteI remember the post about the Crap pockets!! Sarah and I still laugh about that because it was so priceless. I can't even look at Hot Pockets anymore without thinking about that!!! Love your Fb comments--you always have funny statuses.
ReplyDeleteI still laugh about that one too. And when I think about how long that was sitting in my timeline before Sarah clued me in!
DeleteAhhh if only I was witty! Love your posts - hysterical!
ReplyDeleteI think most of my witty comes from others . . .
Deletehaha I was cracking up.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed being part of the "fly on the wall" this month. Thanks Karen.

So glad you joined in. I laughed through yours too!
DeleteOh man, reading all these Fly on the Wall posts is making my stomach hurt from laughing so hard, I really can't breathe woman.
ReplyDeleteI know, I felt the same way this afternoon. So funny.
DeleteHey Yo...
ReplyDeleteAnother really good read. Gotta love FB!!! Enjoyed.
Have a great weekend, Slu
Yeah, FB a great place to find quite a few laughs!
DeleteI'm glad to know that I made your Fly on the Wall post without even knowing it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sarah, and I'm still laughing!
DeleteLMAO at crap pockets!!! Seriously it was hard to keep reading from laughing so hard. I am currently drinking a glass of red and would like to thank you for the reminder that I can't save the bottle so pouring glass #2 after I write this. :)
ReplyDeleteI know. It was months ago and I'm STILL laughing over that one.
DeleteSeem's' like I'm really missing out here as not on facebook but it seems like the spams have got you too. I've had a few and now they even use your blog name in the middle of the comment as if they're talking to you. It's just all so funny.
ReplyDeleteHad a good laugh about the Crap pockets, ha ha ha. You should have left it up there, I'm sure everyone would have been even more curious to see what it was all about :)
I noticed the spams have gotten more personal. Unfortunately whoever writes them still doesn't have a grasp of the English language.
DeleteI REALLY love your fans, Karen. SO much fun! Oh, and I'm quite envious of your spam comments, too :)
ReplyDeleteThe "Fly on the Wall" is fabulous! I'm thinking of starting something similar, entitled, "Fruit flies in my Kitchen" ;-)
lol, Fruit flies in my kitchen? I'm in!
DeleteFunny Facebook posts! I get some of these now and then and delete them. Some don't even make any sense!
ReplyDeleteI know, sometimes the ones that make no sense are the funniest.
DeleteI feel ya on the people coming home and interrupting your quality time with yourself issue. I mean seriously, can't you hurt your back on the weekend when you'll be home anyway?? Rude.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. Next time he hurts his back it better be on the calendar.
DeleteI am so glad you are linking up to Saturday Dishes!! I am enjoying reading your posts so much! Hope to see you again next week! {Side note: the food looks fantastic too! Pinning it}
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucy, glad you're enjoying the posts.
