Facebook alerted me it was the birthday
for two of my friends.
I went to FB to wish them well.
Uh, FB was gone.
If this should end tomorrow
All our best laid plans
And all our typical fears?
Am I running out of lifetimes?
This is not the first time
Something ends in just tears.

Are we our digital footprint?
What are all those Instagram models going to do for income
with their Instagram sites fenced off?
We reach out to one another via the internet.
How much do you FB to reach out
and touch your friends?
Remember those things called "Letters"?
When was the last time you wrote one?
My mother kept all her friends' letters.
not just the ones written to her by Mr. Chandler.
When they died, she re-read them smiling and crying
while she did do.
Want to get into the heads of Mark Twain,
Ernest Hemingway,
Oscar Wilde, Groucho Marx, Abigail Adams?
Read volumes of their letters.

Oh, on a completely different note:
Do any of you know how to format a cover for
a Kindle Hardback?
I am tech-challenged.
Hi Roland, I love to write letters, but my handwriting has gone south with my ageing. So I now communicate mainly via email. I'm noton Facebook or any other socieal media, just the blogs. Hope all is well in your world.
ReplyDeleteI am seldom on FB either except to wish Happy Birthday to my friends or to announce my latest post. If Covid can leave me be, I will be all right! Stay well and hug Faith and Samson for me. :-)
DeleteI have considered dumping Facebook. Not because of the politics but a general ick factor. It does help learn about interests I have such as animals nature genealogy writing.
ReplyDeleteI seldom visit FB, too, Ann. But it keeps me informed of the birthdays of my friends. :-)
DeleteI know there should be lists of people who do at the IWSG site.
ReplyDeleteNot on Facebook but I heard it was down. I'm sure some people panicked!
Especially Instagram models who make $ with their pictures. :-)
