  Well, today is again off the beaten path but not quite as clearly as you think.  In this age of electronics, a dinosaur like me attempts to the best she can in using the different modalities.  Kids pick it up so easily and it is like dialing a phone for them (Yes we used to dial a phone).  I have children all over the country and communication is made much more rapid due to these inventions.  I had recently fallen and described the fall but a picture was worth a thousand words and I thought I sent it privately to my one son and of course I hadn't so he was getting all kinds of flack over the picture and what happened and what was worse, I didn't know how to take it off.  I simply gave up and told him to tell people it was a prop for Halloween.
  We all make mistakes!
  A recent example was a person who had personal information that got out on the facebook arena and although it was not ill intentioned, that person was very upset.  I have often found out family business before anyone has called to update me.  This immediate information may be good but it may also cause alot of consternation.  Determining what is too much and what is not enough is difficult at times.  You don't know if someone overseas is looking at it but the other side, this blog reaches out to many that may be looking for answers and that is a good thing.
  Be Gentle With Others is my motto for the day.  I have to laugh as I see people post things on their facebook page that they need you to this and that to protect them or you will no longer be part of their inside circle. I am not opposed to doing that but at this time, I can't get it to do what you have directed me to do.  That brings with it the fact that I can't keep track which password I used for what as just about the time I get it down pat, the password needs changed and although people ask to link with me or connect or get info, sorry, I can't remember and having to work out of three different areas these past few months have only widened the gap.
  So, all I can say is be careful what you post, know that everyone will see it and remember that everyone could see it.  Oh well, final and foremost, just keep smiling and do your best and only take with a grain of salt what may not be relevant to you.  This is loke a written soap opera in so many ways but in the meantime, make it a great day!S
