I have a problem with some people trying to...



Ya know people who think that because they know one other person that I know think that they too can become my friend.
I am talking about on Facebook; I hadn’t acquired over 2,300 friends by just friending people that were asking me oh sure some in the beginning, but if you read down you will know why that practice had to stop! Many of my friends are old school chums and relatives from both sides of my family, which is large. As well as old neighbors from where I grew up and so plenty are people I know and know for ages or knew well… I’m just saying…
You see, if I interacted with them on a site I was accessing than I would say yes to their request to become friends, but not if I never spoke with them ever.
And that has worked pretty well for me these last several years of being on Facebook; I only had to block two crazies, stalkers, so far, but…
So that is why when I received a request first from one woman, just yesterday and I kindly explained to her my method to decide if I accepted someone as a Facebook friend on her personal message section, she automatically decided to follow me instead when I had politely told her no, since she asked me below, in the comments section of one of my postings why I did not want to be her friend, …Just in the last two days, two women that I never spoke with before and are friends with only one other person that I know have requested to become friends with me…odd, I wonder if that person is aware of this?
It’s not that I don’t want any more friends, but I have a rule over these last few years that we must have at least two hundred friends in common or had interacted with them on a community site and that had been working just fine, except for those two I mentioned, the wackos.
So as anyone can well imagine my antennae are up, especially when this second gal was denied in becoming my friend, but also felt the need to follow me on my timeline, scary!
I wish that they would just go away, so this time I am not saying a word to this latest gal, but in reality this blog might be helpful, since they are following me on my timeline and this is posted there too! Who knows if they are nice people or scary stalkers but, no is no, isn’t it?

Gosh I spent way too much time on those little inconveniences, hmm?
An apology is in order once again due to my ‘malapropism’ kicked in and even spell check with grammar check did not find my weird ridiculous mistake last night, ‘disciple’ was in the body of my story instead of ‘decibel’! How embarrassing, please forgive! I did correct it today. Norm Crosby would be so proud, he’s eighty-five now. He made his living using malapropisms in his hysterical comedy act, on purpose. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Crosby

Today was gym day and I am proud to say my first full week of three days!
We also went on our monthly jaunt to gas up at Sam’s Club and pick up a few large quantity items like coffee, tissues etc. our journey also took us over to Beall’s at the mall, but senior day (?) is Tuesday where people fifty and over (we fit that criteria, for years!)  can receive 15 % more off on their purchases and so we will go back to use my Mother’s Day gift cards. If you have a Beall’s charge though you can get an additional 20% off, but we have more than enough cards in my book, three. Being a credit manager for Lord and Taylor’s all those years ago taught me how not to go berserk with credit, thankfully and so we have never charged more than we can pay off at the end of the month.
And on the weekend we rest, nah too much to do… stay tuned… I will write about that here too.

On that slight mysterious cliff hanger statement, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share them with you know who and we will too!
 
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
