What a wonderful post!! I totally agree ...Glenda! What a wonderful post!! I totally agree with you. Blogging has been a great thing for me to get into and I just love it. I can totally relate to what you said about it being like opening a present because you never know what you will find. I have my favorite blogs and can't wait to see everyday what my faves have posted. I could literally spend hours checking out new blogs and really have to limit myself with that, but this has certainly opened a whole new world that I am so happy I CHOSE to get into. Thank you for these wonderful thoughts!!Joyce's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378556718751144447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669331778260563182.post-43641881367105105162008-09-18T20:47:00.000-07:002008-09-18T20:47:00.000-07:00Well, well, well. I'm not sure if your anonymous ...Well, well, well. I'm not sure if your anonymous writer is happy about the Internet or hates it. Who knows. Maybe they are one of the perverts they are writing about. LOL<BR/><BR/>Oh no! You may have a big old fat, naked man reading your blog as he has a good ol' time if you know what I mean. LOL<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the truth is I'm SO happy you did start to blog because I'm thrilled I got to know you. One day I hope we can meet in person and have lunch together. <BR/><BR/>But, if it were not for the computer I know we would have never met. <BR/><BR/>Blogland is like a neighborhood. No matter where we live we all know a bit about what we like and don't like. We have some that we enjoy more then others. A few can be a bother (hello anonymous!) but all in all it's a wonderful place to be. I don't want to ever move away. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>JoanneJoanne Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550534887793382985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669331778260563182.post-78360255822093826432008-09-18T19:46:00.000-07:002008-09-18T19:46:00.000-07:00Hi Glenda,I started to read that anonymous comment...Hi Glenda,<BR/>I started to read that anonymous comment and thought forget it. Anyway on with why I'm here - to say hello and that I agree with you about the world of blogging and I couldn't agree more with Sheri either.<BR/>Happy night!<BR/>xo~TracieTracie~MyPetiteMaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115515570349062556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669331778260563182.post-10604816474643436202008-09-18T18:41:00.000-07:002008-09-18T18:41:00.000-07:00Glenda.....I think you just got one of those comme...Glenda.....I think you just got one of those comments LOL<BR/>Interesting....don't you think and they had to curse to make the point too.<BR/>well...I have been free of negative comments so far....knock on wood.<BR/>I do not even want to get into why I posted about being nice.....<BR/>I do not care about awards...how many comments, etc...I just really enjoy the few wonderful connections I do make~blog hopping is fun too.<BR/>Like anonymous said....it used to be phones, etc... I used to be scared of the computer but I enjoy it now. It does not take the place of my physical friendships..it is just a tool to meet people that I would never have the opportunity to connect with.<BR/>I will be in San Fran on Sat.....still home right now :)The Vintage Vagablondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539489902086459682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669331778260563182.post-82455833599997982242008-09-18T14:22:00.000-07:002008-09-18T14:22:00.000-07:00Before the luxury of computers we had writing desk...Before the luxury of computers we had writing desks and pretty stationary and sometimes it took weeks for the recipient to receive our letters. Houses with wrap around porches, with folks visiting on a sunday afternoon waving at Mr. & Mrs. Joe Blow passing by. Along came the telephone that allowed us to spend hours chatting to family, friends and loved ones. We still have those two things and I am glad, and at times it appeared that the computer age was evolving so fast that we were becoming reclusive and house bound attatched to a key board and a monitor. Our children especially of this generation have grown up "computer" and that concerns me a little...and may appear somewhat detached socially. We can reach across the world in the time it takes to blink and in any kind of weather it goes. We are more connected with each other by an email address than ones own physical address. Cyber space is a wonderful place to hang out and make new friends and be a family online and that's what's so groovy about this unlimited form of communication and it can be so powerful because you create a wake that ripples each time you connect with someone and more power builds up to a network of the most amazing humans that can pray for you...cheer you on...be a shoulder for someone or just an ear or I guess it would be eyes that read our joy or pain and the hearts we touch along our paths we have chosen in this life. Praise Jesus for that!!! And of course the down side to all this home privacy and our computers is that those asshole freak pedophiles, can in the privacy of their homes, invade the lives of our innocent children without leaving the house. They network with each other and exchange tips, videos and pictures and it sickens me knowing how they are destroying children and no one can touch them because there are so God damn many of them, law inforcement can't keep up with them all. There's more of them now than ever before thanks to the computer I feel, and of course identity theives can violate us as well when we ain't lookin. <BR/>Off my soap box I goAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
