Having a place to discuss how we feel about anything ...


…is it a good thing or not such a good thing? I wonder… Do we divulge too much on the Facebook interesting specific chat rooms? For me who does not have a problem with telling it all…does it make me think twice about what I said? Nah! My embarrassment factor, along with my writing/mouth filter have basically disappeared years ago. Sadly, I suspect too many or perhaps just a few, to their chagrin who have some sort of scruples, would think twice, which is nice, but actually I do too… I never mean to be mean, but somehow I might just be all that! The loving your neighbor as good, bad or indifferent was lost somewhere in translation for me, but we live in a very bad neighborhood, so maybe that’s why? Some people are just what you get when you talk to them or in my case listen to them, since by nature, I am an incessant talker; that is when my voice comes out, which is more often than not, thankfully! I love the concept of the training, like in choo, choo, one after another conversations online group discussions, better sounding than chat rooms. Although, in reality that is what they are, I think. If you Google online to get info on any topic, more often than not instead of specifically going to a reputable site, let’s say medical need as in mayoclinic.com or clevelandclinic.com, johnshopkins.com you might click on the site with what your question was and find yourself in an old discussion about what peeked your interest to look it up. And on occasion a medical professional may get involved. I have found some actual M.D. types do interject on occasion and that is when I read the whole answer they give. But we have no way to know if their background/credentials are what they claim… do we? Most times they tell the inquirer to check with the specific physician in their area, that is great CYA, cover your ass, oops did I say that? There goes my cringe factor again! Yes, I did say that! I guess I lied up top; no I didn’t, because I still don’t like to curse. During my youth I wasn’t very good at it either, saying filthy words that is, clean ones are more fun, and that is just another unrequested opinion, from yours truly! Besides is there any reason to not to be able to get your feelings out with all the other choice words they’re to choose from? Some of the best emotions can be expressed by flowery, overly ornate pompous expressions of disagreement, with heightened feelings of displeasure or agitation or finding those ten dollar words that make people scratch their heads? Thesauruses are there for the taking… In closing, have fun as I do on these sites, but remember most are just people like you and we all know that no one is better than anyone else and on that note, so… don’t believe everything you see and as me, we all will be just fine. But do keep an open mind, sometimes there is a lot of jewels of learning available, okay most often, at least the one I go to. See if you can check the credentials of the group, and friend as many as you continue to speak to, in that way it allows you access to their educational info and business background etc. I suppose it is my lack of blind trust having been in business all those years and married to a man who is retired law-enforcement. On that note of who knows what again… me thinking out loud I suspect, 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 we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!?
