News, news, and more news... is it ever good?

For your entertainment benefit I will not bore you with news good or bad; how’s that Peeps?
Instead I will get right down to brass tacks and discuss how marvelously my campaign for new FB friends has been moving right along and my tally at this moment is…..drum roll please…457!

A storm is again not too long in our futures here; its rumblings are quite threatening!
Nothing new there either for it is a daily occurrence here in our rainy season; for the newsy types out there our not having rain is as worthy of your attention as a man biting a dog!

Any-who, we are way too available for the internet to access I just found out tonight that again my name pops up way too many times when I Google myself.
I suppose it’s my own fault, if I never had an outspoken opinion on Facebook I would not be so available to the world at large apparently.
Well, tough nuggies to those who think that my name splashed all over the net is going to un-nerve me!
Most everything I clicked on was not that big a deal or anything that I would want to retract since I own what I say when I say it!
But who knows how I will feel in years to come… then that will be a different story I will assume, knowing me as I do then I can by all means assume myself!
We as users of this technological marvel should occasionally Google or Bing or whatever you enjoy as a search browser, yourself, to see where you stand in the bigger picture of the world’s idea of you.
I truly think that I may have sent a confusing message about myself, but then… that would be an accurate illustration of the real me!

How many of you out there still forward emails that you think are cute or clever?
Personally, I have stopped too much politics in those so-called little gems of somebody’s idea of what’s adorable! It will get you into trouble as quickly and as sure as my name is TOBI! All right you all know that isn’t my REAL name, but you do know what I mean, right?
Next time you receive one that appears harmless on the surface, don’t be fooled folks!
Someone out there will read into it in such a way that it will turn into the devil worship of your favorite savior---- fill the blanks for whatever your religious beliefs are or worst your Mom’s biggest secret of yours exposed!
Mark my words… then you will be black listed from all those people you thought were your dear respected work associates or best friends!

Animals should be a no brainer for acceptability since they are cute and almost always non-political and should be fairly harmless territory… unless a DONKEY or AN ELEPHANT is involved; let us NOT forget those riotous critters! LOL

Old people seem to be a favorite of my generation, especially ones that are so endearingly absentminded … but send it to someone who just put their dear Mom or Dad or spouse away into a nursing home for dementia or the all too common Alzheimer’s and you can be sure you have insulted someone!

Babies too have been customarily a cute topic for all to marvel at, but when they are shown doing grown up things in a not so childlike manner, you have a very bad taste cartoon being passed around so you better stop, you hear me stop!
Sadly, our funny-bones have had to depend on PC (too old a term to recall; let me refresh your memories, Politically Correct?) things like religion and race have always been taboo topics and in my book rightfully so.

So what’s left?
In my opinion there is plenty for one: in-animate objects used in unique ways for one that is non sexual or political just clever all right, interesting artwork, don’t we all love that three dimensional chalk guy, but non offensive, huh?
Well, I guess that’s it… oh by the way from what I just said don’t expect me to forward any of your forwards… why you ask?
You see, that is one of the many reasons I am now on Facebook I forwarded all those ones you sent to me and then the emails all stopped coming to me and that’s why I had to purge you all and start over on Facebook and it’s working out just fine so far…LOL!

On that un-holier than thou silliness of mine I will wish you all a very happy night and to all please count those blessings and we will too!

PS Mr. President HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Ooops is that political?
I said I was confusing, so there you go!
