A stitch in time saves nine

 If you are a stitcher in any way you know this saying all too well. The definition: A timely effort will prevent more work later. Where I am leading with this phrase, is not where you might think. In fact, it has less to do with craftiness and more to do with tackiness. In the matter of personal business, that is.
The great thing about little sayings and quotes, is that we can adapt them to our situations.In this situation, I will say it means to those who sound off and later need to aplologize, think before you speak.
It always amazes me that people feel ok about shaking up their emotional trash and tossing it for the world to see on FaceBook. We have all said things from time to time that are, well, not our greatest moment maybe.  This is so much worse. We are talking full on, telling off people. Then the next thing you know, everyone knows the business. And believe me, most of us d not want to.
I love hearing great news. Got a promotion? Fantastic! Found a cool new place with awesome food? Thanks! You decide to blast people, the government and everyone on your page? Um, not so much. I love my friends, my family, who of course, can call me for anything good or bad. We have a history, a deep rooted relationship where it is SAFE to share all these things. My problem with FaceBook has become this: people air their dirty laundry, they are on your page, so now you have lousy judgement for associating with people who cannot behave themselves. When you treat others right and are trying to build a business, this ends up being bad business. Some things we are better off not knowing.
My solution to this is, goodbye FaceBook, it was fun while it lasted.
I will almost miss you.
