Oh I forget all the time that what I’m tweeting will go to 1,000 people instead of my friends who already know me. I once did a guest post for someone that was a little “off.” One of those, “oh did anyone notice that?” things were you just want to move on to the next day and bury the post.

I loved your blank tweet. It just means you were thinking of me in your delirium.

Um…this morning I thanked sweet naked baby jesus because my allergies weren’t going haywire…perhaps slightly offensive to some? Oops

The thing with me is that when I talk out loud, I have ZERO filter. I have said the most awfully embarrassing things to people because I just have zero filter.

Thankfully when I’m in internetland I can read what I just wrote and not palmface myself too many times 🙂

PS I would have thought it was hilarious if you took a photo of all the tissues…I almost did the exact same thing yesterday…but then I didn’t.

Great post! I always try to be mindful of what I put out there because I really don’t want anything getting back to me. There’s some people I follow on FB that just make me cringe at what they post. It’s unbelievable sometimes, and they’re not even drinking or half asleep when they post this stuff.

Out of anger I made an entire post and tweet rant about my douche face employer. Do I regret it? No. Am I still employed? Totally. They don’t know I blog…or tweet…or maybe they do…but I just don’t care

I’ve definitely had a couple of tweets that I should have kept to myself, but I try to be mindful about these things. You’re so right though about how tough it can be. My husband was out of town this past weekend also and I caught myself just before I tweeted to someone that he was there … And yes, I was a glass of wine into the evening.

Thanks for the reminders!

This is something that we all need reminding of every so often.

I have done the sleepy-tweet and the sleepy-comment (and possibly the tipsy-tweets/comments too) and that is never a good thing.

I so agree. When I was in the thick of a pregnancy with toddler twins, my hubs gave me a gentle reminder to take a look at my Facebook profile and please write something positive to counteract all of the “No naps! I’m gonna die!” and “When will this day ever end???” updates I was putting up. He was right.

I actually follow someone on twitter that posts negative stuff about her kids, hubs, life about 99% of the time (as in real like frustrations, not just a snarky twitter persona), which contradicts her happy looking avatar. And when she tweets something sweet and positive, it feels like she’s faking it.

Sure, I’ve done it, but we need to keep an eye on the image we are presenting as a whole.

Yes I did once…a post and I still regret it today. It wasn’t horrible or bad but apparently a few friends go upset {because I didnt mention their names}. So now I watch what I type!
