Can I just start by saying that I am *almost never* on Facebook. I just don't have time. If I really need to track someone down or wish a long lost friend Happy Bday it is a God-send. Otherwise....not so much. It's a time sucker.
But that isn't the point of my little rant.
I have obvioulsy been a little BUSY, and thus haven't posted a whole lot on my blog either, especially lately (sorry). I am surprised that you faithful readers even take the time anymore. But thanks....
As we all know, my entire purpose of having a blog is to document our daily lives, special events, and my children's lives. Almost entirely only for the enjoyment of family members that are far away. Every once in a while it is an outlet for me to "vent" , ask for prayer, and just be relevant.
Today is a "VENT" day.
I just so happened to log on to my Facebook account to get some info from my daughters school that is posted only there. Apparently I had "messages". (Again I almost never am on Facebook- so a message was from June that I never saw until today).
It was a message actually asking me to delete photos of said person (that sent me the Facebook message) from my Blog. No names will be mentioned here..........
Seriously!?!
As if I delete it then it never happened? That I cannot document actual events without having to get approval from the subjects who willingly stood there and smiled for the photo? Um, let me see, everytime I take a photo of my kids and their friends I should be carrying around a little waiver form for all the people in the photo's? Just incase they come back 3+ years later and ask that their photo be removed?
It's a sad state of affairs let me tell you.
So i guess I just stop posting photo's at all - or better yet, I could just make my Blog PRIVATE so only people I WANT to read it can?? Hmmm, maybe a good idea.
So to you little miss "please remove my photos"...you win! All photographic evidence that you exist has been wiped from our lives. The commentary however has not been. No last names were ever used in connection with the photo anyway. Since my blog is about documenting events that happened (when they happened) a comment from 3yrs ago should not really be bothersome I would hope. If so too bad..and guess what?....I still have the original photos. Perhaps said person is entering in a witness relocation program, has had reconstructive surgery, or is just not secure enough with themselves to have pictures of them "out there" in cyberspace. I am sorry to have offended your delicate sensibilities.
Hope said person is very happy with their petty little selves.

Maybe you are taking that way out of proportion. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable request.
