Sorry folks!

How soon we forget… this afternoon I received an email from Facebook reminding me that two of my so-called friends’ on that venue are having birthdays, which are next week and that I should send them a gift or some other form of recognition of the occasion. They are people who I barely know, and personally I would prefer to call them acquaintances, since one of them I had only briefly known in high school and the other is just a friend of a friend, and besides when I had my birthday this past summer I didn’t hear from either of them about it at all!
Ok, maybe that is a wee bit harsh, but you got my point.
Perhaps, it’s the fact that I don’t like being told what to do, aha!
Yep, the mother of the world telling all of you what to do nightly…doesn’t like to be told herself what to do!
Shame on me!
Somehow that one short email annoyed the bejeebers out of me.
And so tonight I have decided to watch my own P’s and Q’s, is how they say it, yeah like a hundred years ago they used to say that! But you all do know what I mean; I am quite sure, how do I know that you ask?
Because none of us really appreciate being told to do most things, am I right or what folks?
Adulthood has many benefits and one of those many is the fact that we should know what to do whenever we need to know what to do, is that clear? I betcha it is; as clear as mud that is.
Lectures are for teachers in classrooms where we actually seek out knowledge on topics we are unfamiliar with and so we can learn whatever we feel that we desire, correct?
But, learning is a never ending part of life as much as breathing and when we stop one the other is sure enough to follow, don’t you think?
I suppose that is my rationale.
When I was a child, before computers, BC, and before the Internet, IT, whoops that one isn’t as funny!
Any-who, there used to be encyclopedias, you remember them 20 something volumes of heavy paper and cardboard, and as that child I would find myself looking up one specific thing, but then moving onto some other thing within the pages of the original thing, go with me here…and so I find myself doing that today with the Internet, and boy am I glad. Even with only one good eye, and a brain, fortunately that hasn’t quit on me yet I still have an inquiring mind, ha! That used to be the tag line for the Philadelphia Inquirer, inquiring minds need to know! But that referred to aliens from outer space landing here or there or multiple headed footed animals and such.
I am interested in it all, not just animal oddities but our worlds oddities that is and everything in between!
And whenever I get a chance I do read about them in whatever form they appear, be it books, magazines, or even here on the net.
And so I apologize to all others of the world that I may treat without that thirst for knowing that I have, but that my friends is assuming and we all know what that means…

Good night to all and to all count your blessings or not, but I may very well might, may be doing it!
