Tuesday Ten

It didn't take long for me to run out of Transformation Tuesday ideas! I have projects in the works but nothing very photo-worthy at this point. So when possible, I will share projects I've completed. When I don't I will try out this idea: Tuesday Ten (I found the idea here: http://www.the-golden-spoons.com/p/tuesday-ten.html )

For my first Tuesday Ten, I'm going to share some pins I've saved on Pinterest in a board called "Why did Pinterest pick this for me?" If you use Pinterest, you are probably aware that there are auto-generated recommended pins based on your supposed interests. I started thinking some of them were strange. Like, what in my pinning history suggested I would enjoy that pin? I'm sure I exacerbated the issue by actually creating the board and pinning the more questionable pins, but that's okay. Here I share with you my favorite head-scratchers of recommended pins.


1. I just want to graduate. 

 


I completed my PhD 11 years ago and haven't gone back to school so...?


2. Easy Copycat Nesquick Powder

 


Yeah, I like to save money but I also like to save time and Nesquick really isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things. I'll just go buy some, okay?



3. Be someone's Sunday, Not Saturday night.




I haven't gone out on a Saturday night in forever and if I did it was with my family, and even if I was a party girl would that be so wrong? This whole pin is like "be a good girl" and frankly, I resent the implications.



4. The Fate of the Romanovs



I'm not interested in reading about history. But thanks for thinking I'm that deep.



5. Tongue coming out of a ketchup bottle.



Gross.



6. "A smile can get you far in life, but a smile and a gun can get you a whole lot farther."



So just a couple things wrong with this...I am not a Miranda Lambert fan (if she even said this). I'm very shallow but I just can't get past her whole face situation. And also I'm for gun control and not using guns as a threat to get your way. Nice try, Pinterest!


7. Easy Creamy Mushrooms




I hate mushrooms, which Pinterest would know if it actually read. Yes, I pinned mushrooms once, but it was in my board entitled "Products I Hate."



8. This sentiment. 




I mean, why with the minions? And at my age, I pretty much just text my husband when I'm shopping to ask if I should buy something for dinner and "k" is a perfectly acceptable response.



9. "Man is not free unless government is limited."




I guess I like the picture of the barn but otherwise, this pin is not something I enjoy. Reagan was the president for most of my childhood so he was the last president I was able to respect 100% because I didn't know about politics yet. Now that I know more, I do not like most of his policies. And I am not a fan of the whole "small government" ideology for many, many reasons I will not get into here. So this was a fail, Pinterest.


and #10: Give it to God and go to sleep.



Nope, doesn't work. I've tried repeatedly. You know what does work? Nyquil!
