Andy Warhol was so right when he said that, in the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes. Sadly, some people's fifteen minutes should have been up years and years ago.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-38428660375192995642019-03-27T07:50:11.951-04:002019-03-27T07:50:11.951-04:00Joared--That's a clever ploy from the real est...Joared--That's a clever ploy from the real estate agent.

Figuring he was just compiling a list of potential clients I didn’t sign up and still haven’t despite repeated notices. After reading your accounts I think I’ve made the right choice. The last thing I need are a bunch more social media commentaries to sort through and I don’t even waste my time on FB and most of those other sites. <br /><br /><br /><br />Joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155775053108104385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-55518350869021587702019-03-26T17:37:13.360-04:002019-03-26T17:37:13.360-04:00More importantly, why are these people even consid...More importantly, why are these people even considered celebrities?

Have they seen me lately? Are they trying to tell me something? I know I don't wear make-up and barely brush my hair. I am afraid they are sending me a secret message.Mereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-70812351339243556282019-03-16T08:36:18.776-04:002019-03-16T08:36:18.776-04:00NCmountainwoman--Oh, I know all about Next Door, t...NCmountainwoman--Oh, I know all about Next Door, the micro FB for neighborhoods. It is yet another online opportunity for reversion to junior high mentality, which, sadly, will end up happening whenever people can get behind a keyboard rather than face a real person. In your case, the Next Door people are using it as a narrative Instagram since they are Of A Certain Age.<br /><br />Well bless their hearts. They are real Boosters of your Community. But to each other. Sigh.<br /><br />I'm glad to provide your Catharsis.

I resisted "joining" for years since the producers are from out of state and I felt certain it was purely to grab my name and email address to sell. But I needed to find a new cleaning service so I reluctantly joined. Most of my near neighbors have asked that I join. We live in a gated community with lots of amenities, including a clubhouse with dining room and grill. Most of the posts have to do with describing the delicious meal (even a cheeseburger for God's sake) someone had or the lovely Sunday buffet. Others deal with activities that are planned. Activities that are described in our weekly (hard copy or Online) newsletter. I want to yell in all caps, WE ALL LIVE HERE, STUPID. WE ALL KNOW THIS. POST YOUR CHEESEBURGER ON FACEBOOK, NOT HERE.<br /><br />So there is much of the letter which I sent to you instead of the people who need to know. But honestly? I do feel better Nance.

All I could think of, really, was the slang of "burner phones"--those cheapy cell phones criminals buy off a rack at a drug store or megamart because they are untraceable. <br /><br />I'm increasingly amused at the so-called Designer Puppy Breeds--labradoodles, cavapoos, chorkies, etc. Basically, they're just crossbreeds or Intentional Mutts.

I don't even know how to get a newsfeed, if I wanted one. My home page is blank, something my tech person set up for me a long time ago with just a few clicks in settings, so I didn't have to look at what stuff I don't care about. At least on Facebook you can click to hide and give feedback why you're not interested. There are directions online for setting up an "About Blank" page, if your home place is where you get your newsfeed.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-20350959824367682942019-03-11T17:06:10.311-04:002019-03-11T17:06:10.311-04:00I wrote one such letter about a month ago.
