Facebook

I left Facebook abruptly and have received a bevy of sweet, sad emails from my friends wondering if everything is okay.

Everything is, indeed, okay. I went off of Facebook for no reason, really. I wish I had a scandal to report, but I don't. I just wanted to spend time on other things. And I am somewhat famous for my social disappearing acts. I hang for awhile. Then I withdraw. Then my family gets sort of embarrassed because it's all so dramatic and untoward, and they may or may not make a few excuses for me.

I love everyone, though, and I'm sorry for the weirdness. I may keep blogging, or I may go into a knitting trance until January. I never know. Happy Holidays, in case I don't make it back here.

Facebook is like a crazy ex-boyfriend, anyway. He'll always take you back :)

Well, I am glad it is nothing serious.
It was nice chatting while it lasted. Alas, all good things must come to an end, so they say - whoever they are :)
Take care and happy holidays to you and yours as well!

Oh, I will so miss you. You and your kids say the funniest things that make me laugh... good medicine....

BUT, though I will miss you, this is not intended as the "guilt trip" to get you to change your mind.

I'm glad you do what's best for you....

Love,
Joyce (Haase)
not really anonymous :D

I've been wanting to talk. Couldn't find you here or there. I, too, love those "darnedest things kids say" but also appreciate your insights.

Unfortunately, I'm not as kind or delicate as Anonymous Joyce, I don't care if this is taken as a "guilt trip" to get you to change your mind. :)

hugs and kisses

This her father speaking, I apologize world!

Well, I am taking consolation in the fact that it was not a targeted defriending. I've had a couple of those (for reasons unknown to me) and it always hurts my feelings more than it really should. I'm always HOPING the person had just deleted their account...so, in this case, I am relieved. Love ya. Paul

Rachel, I guess you really meant it when you said..."in 250 words or less"...much, much less, as in zero.
