For once, our small town’s Facebook page rose above the petty gossip and backstabbing and actually came in handy. Last night, along with the usual lost pig notices… there was a report of a dump truck flipping over, taking out a power line and closing the main road. This was helpful since my husband’s car had overheated and left him stranded on I-295. Knowing about the closure in advance saved me taking the out of the way detour.
Of course the page also had some other gems.
Rent a goat! There’s a start up sure to make a fortune.
Heck, they love to eat…
Are easy to transport….
And give great back massages.
How could you lose?
Then there was this:
Someone wants to cook pie for me?
That can’t be bad.
And finally, there was this heartfelt thank you note…
Moral of that story?
If you live in the country, always carry carrots and apples.
A little more enthusiasm would be nice but yes, it’s been one year to the day since I joined WordPress.
And while I certainly wasn’t a blog virgin….
It did take a little time for me to adjust to my new home.
WordPress is a larger and more diverse platform than my previous sites, and though it’s also filled with more businesses and spam than I was used to…. I admit I’m enjoying it more as well.
Blogging means different things to different people and my posts have certainly changed over the years. They used to be filled with personal details, family strife, and raw emotion …. but I was burned by that.
And switched to a light hearted, irreverent look at the world instead.
Yes.
That book really exists…
“Go behind the exam room door to experience the secret lives of doctors and patients. Enjoy Pap parties. Meet the Chlamydia Clown. Win a free kitten with your physical! In this laugh-till-you-cry health care handbook, you’ll learn how fun it is to be a doctor–and a patient.”
I haven’t read it…
But feel I should, and report back.
Finding a tribe of like minded odd balls has helped me settle in here.
So to all of you slightly disturbed souls I call friends…
The loons who regularly tune in for my mindless drivel?
I shall endeavor to provide more of the same high quality nonsense…
And continue to answer some of life’s most difficult questions.
River's world.....
