I love how everything is blunt, out there, and opinionated, it makes for a fun read. Anyways I love to write, and i think I could make a great contribution to your page. If this is something that interests you, then shoot me a quick email when you get a chance.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Alyssa<br /><br />AlyssaMJacobs@gmail.comAlyssanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-63391280644262323902011-06-06T09:47:53.634-04:002011-06-06T09:47:53.634-04:00Dinah,
I've been a guest blogger on your site...Dinah, <br />I've been a guest blogger on your site in the past. I loved this post. <br /><br />Since becoming an adult (of sorts), I've never given much thought to my birthday. <br /><br />Even though I have felt a little hurt and unloved (on principle) when I haven't gotten a lot of birthday cards, I could always count on one from my insurance agent and my broker. <br /><br />I recently (In Sam Goldwyn's immortal words), said, "Include me out!" to Facebook and Twitter. The latter due to a growing lack of interest in what one of my two followers was having for breakfast, the former because ol' Mark's drones were posting my face all over the web and almost forcing me to like or dislike things. And like many shrinks, I have more than one opinion about most things. <br /><br />Even though I've never been interested in or good at staying in touch with a lot of people, I still believe in quality over quantity. Holiday newsletters, for example, raise my blood pressure to near-CVA levels. What possesses people with tenuous family links to presume that I would care if little Maisie got braces on her teeth?<br /><br />I feel that Facebook, when it reminds me of my "friends"' birthdays, is sticking its cybernose into my business. If I've forgotten those birthdays, it's usually for a good reason. <br /><br />I felt much more grateful when a zealous pharmaceutical rep. stopped at my apartment house the other day to drop off a carrot cake with his business card. There's no way he could have known that I hate carrot cake, but at least it wasn't virtual.<br /><br />Too bad I closed my Facebook account. I just might have "friended" him!Edward W.
