Thursday Thoughts About Liking Someone

I “like” you. Do you “like” me? Circle yes or no.

Believe it or not I can still remember passing notes like this at school. I think I was in second or third grade when I hit this stage. I don’t think kids ” like” people anymore. Now days it’s called “talking to someone,” which doesn’t make sense to me. I talk to people all the time but that doesn’t mean I “like” them. In fact there are lots of folks I talk to that I wish I could use a remote control on them and mute them. Loud, obnoxious parents at ballgames for instance (always parents of the opposing team of course!)

This morning I received an email from someone wanting me to “like” their Facebook page. Obviously the word “like” has changed meaning over the years. I went to the Facebook page that the person had requested me to “like” and decided that I did like it.  (Are you sick of the word “like” yet?…if not keep reading).

Facebook is an amazing way to connect with people, organizations, etc. and most of the time I “like” it, but sometimes I don’t (is there a dislike button somewhere?)

I don’t play games and so when people send me requests for roosters for their farm in Farmville, I don’t respond.

I don’t like foul language or hurtful messages and so if anyone chooses to say those things, I “hide” them or remove them all together.

After reading this post if you still have the energy and inclination to “like” me, please go to the NanaHood and TheNanaBlogs Facebook page and “like” me.

You’ll be glad you did, and by the way, I will be happy to “like” you back!
