I made my connecting train! And I didn`t have to show nip to do it, so I guess it`s all win.
 
We had maybe thirteen minutes in the lounge, so we at least could catch our breath. But we`re rolling again already. So I successfully did the only thing I was responsible for the whole way, which was to get on the train. We`ll get in around midnight.

MW- made the post, you see anything?

This is true. I thought that if you declined the request they would stop seeing your (unfiltered) posts....but maybe with this new "not now" option instead of "stay away from, crazy stalker from former life" that doesn't happen?

Have you axed the request yet or is it still malingering?

You know, it might still be on my requests page. I haven't actually looked at it in months. I should remedy that.

The more I think about this person's message, it's so aggressive and demanding. I don't owe her an explanation. God damn, people. It's just Facebook.

you don't owe her the time of day. i'd block that user then nix the request.

Erin, if you can stand the squirminess of explaining your financial situation to complete strangers, it might be worth going in or writing a letter to ask for a reduction in the ticket fee. At least, I know that San Francisco has a lot of stupidly punitive ticket hardassery and yet even so will sometimes write down or off excess fees for people who really need it. And $600 is a crazy amount. That's like, what, half a mortgage payment? A month's worth of groceries? A month of child support or daycare or a year's worth of kid clothes? Tie it to something concrete and pressing in your lives that any sane person would agree has to be a priority.

JZ, I have NO PROBLEMS doing that, and that is a great idea. Thanks

How would you feel about Onerous Task Support Group Hour?

Count me in. I can deal with that ticket,and oh, so many other money related things.

Daniel, I am so sorry for your family's loss.

OK, FB test concluded.

I couldn't see any posts by L'Obscure while I was awaiting confirmation, or once she had ignored me.

Also, even after she ignored me, my request was still showing as awaiting confirmation, so I had to cancel the request and resend. I hope she'll finally accept.

::bats eyelashes::

Also, there are many, many Erin [LastName]s out there.

lesson learned: if your posts are filtered to friends only, no one sees them whilst awaiting confirmation. And i have a very common name :)

I knew that, though. Some of my posts are just set to "Everyone." I fairly well don't care if the world can see that I'm happy Tim is vacuuming the bedroom.

You mean you specifically set that on a post, or it's your default?

Note: If I had to remember to filter specific posts, I'd go crazy, so I wanted to make sure the privacy defaults worked.

Think of the dust bunnies on Facebook!
