The Herald-Leader decides to print a story on page three this past Sunday about the PEW study from last autumn that says: Social Network People are Not Evil. We maybe are as connected, if not more so, than the average person.
really?
Really. A few weeks ago, I was getting ready to undergo a "procedure" that is justifiably "normal" and "not to worry about".
Within MINUTES of posting about said procedure (OK, colonoscopy) on my Social Network I had immediate support. They came out of the literal would-work. People who know what I was going through. People who, online, stayed up with me throughout the night before "it" offering support. And, yes, humor, in the time of angst.
Last night, I received a *sad* post. A beloved from my Social Network was having a really bad time dealing with something and simply posted: *sad*
I called immediately. Because that's what we do, we Social Network People. We are there for each other, even though we've barely even met.

Thank you for calling.
ReplyDeleteAnd please tell EVERYONE on facebook about the magic of the WhiteFoodDiet for at least a WEEK before the Scope. It makes a miraculous difference in how miserable that test is or isn't. (And white food that night too. NO burgers for supper!)
