JUST MY 'FACEBOOK' OPINION OF COURSE!!

A FROSTY MORNING THISTLE

Second half of our two part first aid course tonight so blog will be short. Of course I said that a couple days ago about Tuesday's blog & then it just seemed to trudge on forever.

DEER PARK LODGE GROUNDS

Kelly headed off to Cambridge this morning to see some of her Grandkids that she hadn't seen before we headed west last October.

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE FRONT YARD BIRDS

Same old, same old, here today with the continuing clean up & that was about it.

I THINK THIS LITTLE FELLOW IN OUR YARD THIS MORNING WAS AN EASTERN TOWHEE

Was saddend this morning to read about fellow RV Blogger RANDY & PAM'S young daughter-in-law Meghan passing away from cancer. This was Meghan's blogsite....THE BEE'S KNEES. I remember Randy sending out something about Meghan on Facebook a few times recently but I unfortunately never took the time to read it.

I have had Facebook for a bunch of years now & have become very resistant to all it's games, add on's, & numerous requests for this, that, & the other thing. I don't join any groups, sign any petitions, buy any farms or cattle or whatever they do on all those silly Farmsville or Yoville, or Hooterville places, or whatever Ville lands on my desktop. I'm not into joining political or religious groups or save the Alaskan Hippos groups. I don't care if Rhinosaucerouses can't lay eggs & I don't have to have bouquets of flowers sent to me because it was my sister's uncle's great grandfather's birthday 6 weeks ago. No, I am not an instant winner of anything & yes, I do believe I am from the planet Cyberschnozz. So ,when any of this stuff pops up on my Facebook page I quickly dispatch it. Sometimes something comes along that is real & of importance but out of habit I send it on it's way with barely a look see & that is how I probably missed the message Randy was sending out about his daughter-in-law recently.

I think Facebook is a great communication tool & if used maturely & responsibly it is a definite plus for friends & families to stay in touch. Notice I used the word, 'maturely.' In my opinion it's too bad it is so chalked full of, & stuffed with, soooo much silly stuff but I guess Facebook's prime target market is all the teeny boppers out there so it is to be expected. Guess that's where the maturity issue comes in. Just my opinion of course & besides......I don't call myself an old Cursmudgeon just for nothing you know!!
