Ana Banana

So Hilarious!! This is exactly how I feel! I have found many recipes and other DIY stuff and out of those boards I have only done maybe like 5 things.

Kastle: Not Facebooking your problems

I just think this picture is hilarious, and also highlights an important point. Most people don't want to hear about your complaining, and your whining through Facebook. It's your problem, not ours. 

Kastle: How Facebook Saved their Life



I've been researching and seeing some articles about how Facebook saved their life, or someone who is close to them. In this article, this mother and son in this picture shared that Facebook helped diagnose a rare disease that her doctors initially missed that saved her son's life. It's such an incredible story. In another article: How Facebook saved my baby the same thing helped another mother find her son the right diagnosis. In another article: Saving a stranger's life this man clicked on a link on Facebook that led him to giving up his bone marrow to save a stranger's life. If he hadn't seen that on Facebook, the man would probably not be around still. All these heartwarming stories prove that although Facebook has had lots of negative feedback, there is still some good that comes out of having Facebook. Do you know anyone or have you experienced Facebook impacting your life in a positive way? How is this alternate universe any different from the reality we live in? Reality didn't save these people, the alternate reality did.
