A person can say the worst thing in the world, but if you're wearing an ironic or whimsical or gently teasing expression, it rolls off or is even amusing. I heard once that HOW we say something is 85% or 90% of communication, yet all that has been lost in this age of texts and posts. So we end up with a whole lot of disgruntled people like me.<br /><br />Having said all that, HOW COULD YOU steal my idea? I am devastated!!!!!!Margaret Gunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281594044624096600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774625592830261479.post-72432851862996780922012-05-07T15:48:43.031-07:002012-05-07T15:48:43.031-07:00Oh!

Call it Cranktime, and instead of "friending" people your first move is to "unfriend" them.

I just wasn't made for it, or it for me. I have a touch of the antisocial crank in me, not that I think it's a fault. There should be a site for AC's - probably is, somewhere. You have to have at least 300 enemies to join.

You can lurk and say nada or you can "like" something - a post or a comment - to let people know you saw them or you can post what is called an "update" on your status, something along the lines of: "Hey, friends! Click on the link to see my latest blog post which includes some really nice graphics of which I'm including one here as a taste." <br /><br />I post links to each chapter of <i>Sacrifice</i> along with a graphic remotely related to the theme of the chapter. I steal these off the Internet and feel terrible guilt for maybe two or three seconds. I scan down the feed a couple times a day to see if any of my friends have posted anything more interesting than "I'm staring at the wall" and "like" it. I might even comment with something snarky if the mood is right.<br /><br />Coincidental you picked today to unload on FB, because today everybody on FB is unloading on GoodReads, a FB-like social network that's identical to FB except its just about books. Everybody's been getting email notifications all day that they've just been made "friends" with other people on GoodReads. I became concerned when I learned I was now "friends" with an asshole I'd run into on Open Salon. So I went to my profile and turned off the notification toggle for everything. <br /><br />When will it end, is my question of the day.Mathew Pausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157135006791553019noreply@blogger.com
