I don't really have a lot of opportunity to share who I really am and what I really love with very many people here in town. The web is my window to the world.
When you get down to it, the number or people who like what you like? Is a pretty small percentage, and you find like minded others across the globe because of the web.
I "lost" one very small group of friends this year. I called it the old house gang, I am sure it had a real name. But it was people who lived in and lived with, old houses. A couple were "entitled" types, living in zillion dollar restored Victorian mansions ("And the servants were 10 minutes late! I was mortified")
so we made fun of them for fun.
But most of us were regular folks who leaned on each others knowledge and experience to get by. I think it started in '89. Never was feverish traffic.
Just occasional postings and we'd answer. Then quiet for a while more.
It never got bigger, just the same small group of folks, year after year. Dependable, until they became like family.
But this year the woman who hosted it, married another of our group (cute, that part) and moved to Minnesota with him. She wasn't able to continue, so we tried to go to Yahoo and Facebook and its just too impersonal.
Not working. People are creatures of habit.
yours Scott
