First off, let me say that I love Pinterest.
I've pinned some great ideas, recipes and have
been inspired in so many ways!
Having said that, have you ever been browsing along
and saw something everyone was raving about and
thought, "Um, no. No, no, no."??
Things like this over-powering cowl, that looks like a bath towel....
or maybe this fishbowl ring....
or a foot tattoo...maybe a fresh
pedicure would have been a better choice?
Or even peacock eye make up.
Um, no...no, no. lol....
You can leave comments, and I have been
tempted to leave a simple "Ew!" But that probably
wouldn't be too nice. So, I'll just say here that
some things have not been pinned by me to do later. :)

First first with my burst
ReplyDeletePfft Gloria is worst
Pat is back on top
Deletewith his comment hop!
I love Pinterest and have gotten some great recipes and ideas from them, but then there are those - "What were they thinking" type pins.
ReplyDeleteThese are all most interesting!
It's entertaining either way....the great idea way or the funny way! lol....
DeleteLOL....oh yes, many times. And things that sweep blog land too that are so popular....I am thinking "I don't think so". :)
ReplyDeleteIs that big minus sign avatar just for this post theme? lol....
DeleteLOL why would anyone say yes
ReplyDeleteTo any of that mess
I suppose i they sprung a leak
Or fell in a creek
Maybe if they wanted to be a peacock
And have some gawk
Or need a good way to id
When they kick the bucket at sea
And at least with the fish
They'll always have a backup dish
Some things do make me laugh
Deleteas they are repinned a million times and a half
and I think yuck
I would never pay a buck.
hahahaha
I made the first one rhyme
Deletejust for you this time! ha.
Gave me a smile
DeleteAs you went the rhyming mile
And yeah to each their own
But I'd rather chew on a dog bone
the rhyming is your fault, you know
Deleteas it gives your face a smiling glow.
I'd chew on a bone instead of a tat
no ink for my skin and that is that!
haha love that too
DeleteI'll take the blame with pride at my zoo
And yeah I agree
I'd be afraid those needles would give me something nasty
The pain pfft to that,
my threshold is very high at my may
mat!
DeleteDamn the one arm typing of Pat
Is Ok¨pat!
ReplyDeleteI dont wanna run today pfft!!
Oh Betsy I know in pinterest you can see the most curious things but I nver seen these bizarre things what think these persons? I dont know!!

ReplyDeleteI love Pinterest too! Isn't it fun?
It's very fun...I've pinned so many neat ideas!
Deleteha...hold the foot tattoo...lol...that ring is really cool...as is the neck warmer...

Don't do it, Brian! No, never! lol....
DeleteI kind of like that ring, too. :)
DeleteWhat's wrong with you men? hahaha
DeleteThose are funny ,but if I was 12 or 13, I would of wanted that fishbowl ring.
ReplyDeleteI probably would have, too! hahaha.
DeleteOK... what was she thinking putting her chipped and nasty toes out there for everyone to see?
ReplyDeleteUCK!
lol...I don't think she noticed...she was so excited about the new tattoo. :)
DeleteI wonder why the anchor. Maybe she gets a lot of speeding tickets. Get it? Lead foot. hahahahaha.
Got it... you're too funny!
DeleteLead foot....lol
ha. I'm having too much fun with this.
DeleteThat looks like a neck brace camo thing to me!! I love Pinterest too.
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's a little big for my taste. ha. Are you on there? I must find you!
DeleteI can't find you, Helen! Send me your Pinterest link!
Deletehahaha, laughing here. all I can say is rather them than me! That 'neck brace' thingy is good if you need a prop for the chin :)
ReplyDeleteit makes my neck itch.
Deletelol, yes, mine too!
DeleteYou don't like the makeup? I thought if I would use blues and pinks it would be rather flattering for the wedding :-) haha!
ReplyDeleteIs that a dare?? I'll be in some of your wedding photos, you know. hahaha. :)
DeleteI'll make sure the photographers know to put you front and center in every picture! Taylor will be so proud :-)
Deletelol....ok...you get that foot tat and don't get a pedicure and it's a deal. :)
Deleteand that ring could have worked...two little love fish in a bowl. lol...
DeleteYou know...I just don't think it would be appropriate to show up to my own wedding without a pedicure :-) So i'm gonna have to say the deal is off!
DeleteHaha can you imagine, "with this goldfish, I thee Wed"...it does have a nice ring to it though!
Ewwwwwwww....
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Linda :o)
there...you said it! ha.
DeleteHi Betsy,
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are too funny. I do not seem to see these things on Pinterest but I know there are a lot of different places to go. I at first was not sure why I was starting to get so many followers, I think I am getting close to 6,000 followers, but after seeing these pins I am thinking I understand why they like my pins. My pins must be pretty normal fare for most people and usually ones of which there is something to learn. I have learned that pinning is so, so, much easier with my iPad and I can pin to my hearts content while listening to the news. And I love to follow others to see what they find.
I did find a picture of a bird that looks almost exactly like your red Mr. Cardinal and pinned him on my Critters board and I have pinned some of your birds and cats on there too. But my favorite pins are of recipes even though I know I may never use most of them but at least I know they are there if I decide to use them. The ones I have, have been pretty good. I want to use the Nutella recipes but with injuring my right shoulder put a stop to my doing much. I can only type if I only move my hand and not my shoulder. That is why pinning is so easy, I can use my left hand to do it.
Anyway I am going to have to explore some more areas on Pinterest and see what I am missing. Oh and I do write short comments, and say ewwwww on some of them. I read somewhere that people love any comments about what they pin. Try it, it is a lot of fun to add my two cents in a few words. I do see ewwww written a lot. Lol
God bless.
If I am only looking at who I follow, I don't see too many weird things. But if you click on 'everything' you'll get some! :) 6000 followers? Wow! Good for you! They must really like your stuff! You do have some great boards! I've never seen Eww anywhere! I guess people are being polite.
Deletehope your shoulder gets better....
Sorry to hear Whiskers is going to the vet. Hope she is okay.
ReplyDeleteJan
Oh, that poor kitty! She was in a fight of some kind and came here with some bites...which have healed quite nicely. But the last few days she's not been able to eat...think she has a tooth hurt. I actually cancelled her appointment this morning when she seemed better today and lapped down some water and chicken broth (wasn't drinking before) so I thought she had turned a corner. But this afternoon she still wants to eat but can't...so she goes to get checked tomorrow (Friday). Hope it's something easily fixed!
DeleteThat fishbowl, does it carry real fish? :-) I think the fish ought to be consulted.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
they look kinda lifeless. ha.
DeleteWhen your blog opened up and I saw the bath towel scarf, I thought, "Wow, Betsy, that doesn't seem like you". Then I kept reading. Ew, is right. I was watching American Idol last night and thought some of the girls make up was, well, Ew, too. Sometimes less is definitely more!
ReplyDeletehaha...oh, I'm so glad you didn't think that looked like my style! LOL....
Deletewhat a line up! that ring!! hope Whiskers is feeling better!
ReplyDeletemary x
you know you want it. ha.
Deletethanks...taking whiskers in Friday instead. Thought she was better but now I don't think so!
don't tell me you like that ring. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Momma always said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. But, I think Ewww is just a sound. ;) blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI usually look for the stuff I like, but there's obviously some awful stuff out there, lol.
ReplyDeleteyeah...lots of really great stuff and ideas. I love it! It's addicting, though and hours can go by before you know it!
DeleteHmmmmm... I love Pinterest too, Betsy. Time flies when I am there! I have some things pinned on my pages that I am sure people might think twice about, but it's fun to post exotic or just plain crazy things from time to time. I agree the cowl looks odd... the tattoo I don't mind but the nails do detract, the ring is cool (I want one!) and the make-up is fun. Not that I would wear it... but I love the artistic expression. Am I nuts? Maybe... but here's to a little nuttiness!
ReplyDeleteHug!
haha...ok..that's it. I'm buying you that ring! lol....
DeleteOh - if you will indulge one little story which this post reminded me of - in my much-younger days I travelled a lot to New York. I was out one night with some girlfriends at a disco (yes, I am old!) and we were all dancing and the woman beside me had HIGH high heels on and the heel part was wide and clear and swimming in the heels were goldfish! I kid you not!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...what a funny story! Wow...those must have been some shoes! I wonder if she held on to them! Their vintage now and worth a lot! haha.
DeleteThe peacock eye makeup doesn't "do it" for me either, but I think it does making a striking photograph!
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to try to do some of that peacock eye makeup right this second.
ReplyDeleteOr NOT : )
I think the ring is the cutest thing I have ever seen though. I want one!
