What's next, keeping a running total up there in your heading...of how many people you've 'friended?'


Hey, Cold, I have been around here so darned long that I remember when that “friend” thing started. I had no idea what that was either. That was years ago.

I thought it was odd, but if someone sent me a “friend” request, I just went ahead and accepted it because it seemed rude not to, but I never sent out a “friend” request. Not because I am not a nice lady, but because it made no sense to me. But that’s just me.

And — now, to you, Jazuela, soooooo, you think I am stuck in the 1970s. Oh, how I wish. Damn, those were good days. I was pretty cute and drove a Triumph GT6. (I bet you have never seen one of those. Sure was fun to drive.) But now I drive a sedate Honda and am not nearly as cute. (sigh) Oh, well.

Anyway, Jaz, I usually really like your posts and think you are smart and have a hellava vocabulary. You know your way around words. But, I completely disagree with the post you wrote above. Playing the age card was a cheap shot. You are better than that.

We have gone along fine here for quite a while, able to express our “feelings” in actual words instead of lazy little upticks.

I predict this back-patting idea will turn into a pukefest, at best, or a manipulative, control freak fiesta, at worst.

But maybe if this thing is a go, it will FINALLY make me stop looking.


Sincerely,
Boomerosaurus
