For instance, if a certain fellow was having a birthday, would I post a picture of him as a youngster sharing a bathtub with a cousin? Of course, I would. I've probably done it a dozen times already. |  |
How about a photo of him showing off his manly physique? Hey, I'd post that without a second thought. |  |
| A slightly messy photo from the dinner table? Have you seen some of the photos I've posted of his grandmother? Obviously, I'd post it. |  |
| Would I post a school photo that might have been scheduled at an unfortunate time? My conscience would bother me just for a second or two but, yes, I would probably post it. |  |
| Would I 'Doctor Up' a candid pic of him with lipstick, glasses, sombrero and whatever? NO, NO, NO! This is way over the line. What if his OTHER girlfriends were to see this? I wouldn't do that to anyone. Not even someone who once caught me downwind of him. |  |

Unfortunately, there is a downside to browsing Facebook too. This series of pictures in one of Crystal’s albums has triggered my Ski Biscuit Nightmares all over again…  Just when I thought I could maybe end the twice-weekly therapy sessions with my shrink, after twenty years of treatment, I get thrown back to square one. I haven’t slept in three nights now. I understand Florida was home to the woman thought to be the nation’s first female serial killer. I suspect Crystal may be Florida and the nation’s first female serial ‘Ski Biscuit’ killer. From the photos on her Facebook account, it looks like she has had several victims recently. I hope the authorities in Florida can stop this carnage soon. She needs to be locked away for a long, long time. |
Crystal went to visit Robbie recently. She wanted me to post a few photos of Robbie’s home in Texas.
Here’s the front, looks like it is all decorated up for Christmas.  |
The back of the house looks just as impressive as the front.  |
The back porch has an awesome fire pit.  |
Everyone’s favorite room … the kitchen.  |
Robbie’s shed out back has an exercise room upstairs. (Hey, I could live it there. I wouldn’t need the exercise equipment though.)  |
Here are Crystal and Robbie watching the big game. (Built in flat screen TV with surround sound speakers recessed in the wall. I am so jealous!) |
I like this little touch, it reminds me of the plaque in Jeff and Randy’s kitchen.  |
I guess Crystal wanted us all to see how the rich Ratliff’s live.
Photos from Crystal’s Facebook Page
I logged into Facebook this morning and browsed around for a few minutes. It occurred to me, after a bit, that I hadn’t seen anything from Crystal recently. I thought to myself, “I’ll go check her wall to see what is going on in her world.”
I clicked on the link to show my ‘friends list’ and scrolled down it looking for Crystal. She wasn’t there. I clicked on the link again and made sure it was showing ‘All Friends’, not just ‘Recent Friends’ or ‘Friends I Actually Like’ or something like that. I scrolled through the list again, still no Crystal. All I can figure is… she has de-friended me!
What have I done to deserve this? Did I go too far with that story about Robbie’s sand-castle swamp and the Tennessee fans? Was it the Hen Tale for her birthday? Why would she do this to me?
I’m really going to miss seeing all the pictures Crystal posted to her account. No more ‘Cason’s First Baseball Practice’ or ‘Cason’s First Game’. No more pictures of all the Ratliff and McInnis families, especially the kids. This really hurts! It hurts worse than the Ski-Biscuit ride. No, wait a minute, that’s not right, it doesn’t hurt that bad. It’s a different kind of hurt, in a different place, but not that bad.
I’m really having a hard time dealing with this rejection. I wonder, is there a support group for people de-friended on Facebook? Where do they meet? Do they have a Facebook page? Gosh, I hope they don’t use Twitter.

I’ve tried recently to share some of the best photos that I find on Facebook. There have been some really cute pics of the grandkids and great-grandkids. I think it has been worth the trouble to get a Facebook account just to keep up with the photos that Crystal, Tiffany and Dawn post to their pages.
On the other hand, there are some downsides to this Facebook Foto business. Here is an example. This is from a photo album of Cason and Caitlyn’s birthday party that Crystal just posted:
I guess this is the price we have to pay to see the pictures of the cute grandkids. Every now and then we’re going to be subjected to something like this.
Now this isn’t Crystal’s fault, don’t blame her. It can’t be helped! If Jeffery is at the birthday party, or holiday dinner, or anyplace really were there is food, there is going to be a photo like this. I’ve discovered through years of experience, it’s unavoidable. Here are just a few examples from my file:

So, be very careful when you go looking at those Facebook photo albums, you just may find a Facebook Foto Flub. And if you do, be sure to tell me about it so I can put it on the StalkerClan.
