How To Disable the 'Seen' Option on Facebook
Believe it or not, this is not an ad nor am I getting paid to talk about these apps. I am totally behind on talking about these apps as they've been developed for quite a while but for those of you that have not discovered them and value your privacy -- these apps are for you!
These simple applications and extensions will allow you to send and receive messages without the other participant knowing when you have 'read' or in some cases, clicked on this message. The only down fall of them? Because Facebook decides you've only read your messages if their read recipient plug-in says so, the messages will be marked as 'unread' until you reply or disable the extension or app. I promise you that it's totally worth it. I am sure that there are other websites that offer "free", "safe" applications or extensions that offer more options or the same but these ones come directly from the Chrome Web Store and the Mozilla Featured Extensions list of the best add-ons so they are guaranteed to be safe. Please be sure to only download the extensions from there -- I do not have enough money to pay for your computer if you say that I directed you to another link.
Below I have complied a list of the most commonly used, highest rated and most liked extensions (or in some cases, applications) that can all be accessed by the hyperlinks posted below the extension's description.

Google Chrome Extensions
1) Facebook Unseen: In the right hand corner of your browser, you will see a circle with two chat boxes inside. When it is blue it is enabled, when it is not, it is disabled. Simple, right? This is the one I am most fond of. It also works for both the chat and inbox version of Facebook messaging. The other issue with this extension is it automatically says you've read your group messages even if you haven't read them.
2) Messenger Unseen: This extension is very similar to Facebook Unseen, the same features and everything. It will show up in your right hand corner as well and is a blue box, the blue box is outlined in red when enabled and the outline disappears when it is enabled.
3) Facebook Chat Privacy: This extension is similar to the others, but has a feature that the other do not, or do not state that they have: it also does not show the other participant when you are typing. This extension shows up as two people in your search bar when you are on Facebook. You can only tell if you have enabled or disabled it by clicking on it and looking at the drop down menu.
There are many more options for Chrome but those were the ones I used the most.
However, there aren't many FireFox extensions that are linked from their add-on site. FireFox's read recipient extensions seem to be rated moderately and have mixed reviews. I will only direct you to the two that I tried that worked well for me. I will admit, Chrome's extensions are much, much better!
FireFox Extensions
1) Unseen: This extension will only leave the message unread, or unseen, if you do not open it in the inbox. However, as long as you don't plan to do that, you can read the messages without the other participant knowing.
2) Seen Block: This extension works for both the chat version, and the inbox version. The only bad thing about this extension is that it is no longer maintained for FireFox and will only work on certain versions of FireFox browsers. If you have recently updated your FireFox browser, this extension may not work.
Enabling/Disabling FireFox Extensions: In order to enable or disable your FireFox extensions, you will need to go to the left-hand corner, click on the orange "FireFox" button until you see a drop down menu. From there you will go directly to "add-ons" and you will be able to see which extensions are enabled or disable. Admittedly, it's a bit of a hassle but if you want the extensions, that's just the way love goes, babe.
What are your favorite apps or extensions?

LOL: The Internet AKA Rainbow Cake Comment Apocalypse.
I have learned from years of experience from everything from writing blogs to managing fan pages that the people of the internet can quickly become very offended... for no real reason at all. One person makes one comment and it blows up into this huge thing, yet the first comment posted is nothing worth fighting about.
This Rainbow-Cake Recipe Comment Apocalypse is a prime example of that. While these are absolutely hilarious, you will automatically search for the appropriate and oh-so-famous "Well, that escalated quickly" meme seen below:
Oh Internet, you win every time!

In case you are wondering if the link is worth clicking on, let me show you a preview:
Now, let me show you one of the first comments that somehow created this apocalypse...
And the best part? The comments about the comments:

99 Problems and my Internet is 1-98.
WHY? I love the internet but why does it usually never work for me? I will admit that part of the problem is I apparently live in Narnia, which is in between Oz and Metropolis in case you didn't already know, so I am even lucky to have internet service but that doesn't make this okay. I am on various sites, I run various pages, I run various sites myself and yet my internet does not seem to understand this! That bitch is so inconsiderate! Yes, I am referring to my internet as a female because only a female would constantly change her mind. Sometimes she works, sometimes she doesn't. Sometime's she's ready to work out, sometime's she can't be bothered. Sometimes she's just a straight up bitch from Bitchville... Sigh.
One question, internet:
Fun Fact: I am using a retro-Opera browser. That's because SOMEONE doesn't allow me to use Google these days. Or FireFox. I had a choice between Internet Explorer and Opera -- what can I say? I would rip off my arm before using Internet Explorer. No I wouldn't. That's a lie.
To all of my fellow Opera users, I know we are becoming extinct, but don't worry...
One question, internet:
When feeling alone, Google a meme.
P.S. If you think I am crazy, wait until you see my next posts, or to get a better idea of just how crazy I am, you could just call my mother and ask her. She'd be happy to tell you.
Welcome to the Insanity!
First of all, welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy following my random ramblings about daily life, various thoughts and the craziness that ensues daily.
I can assure that you will have days where you think "Oh. I am losing it." Those should be the days you come over here and realize that you are absolutely not alone. I spend 95% of my time making mistakes and losing my mind. I can promise you that this blog is not going to be me complaining constantly about the life I live and the daily challenges that we all face but it will be whatever is on my mind at the moment. Be prepared!
I know that this is technically an introduction but I will let you in on the insanity before we really get to blogging and reading and commenting and all that happy jazz. *Insert Jazz Hands here* Before even starting this blog I realized (AFTER creating the blog) that I typed "random" wrong in my email. Yes, my email is "randmon". You better believe that I am not going back to change it either!
So, welcome to Pretty Random Ramblings! I am looking forward to sharing a piece of my life with you all.
Exactly. This is what I meant.
