Cool Shit I find on Facebook<\/p><\/div>\n

This may come as no surprise to you readers… because you know you exist. But since few of you’ve ever left comments I truly just assumed my humor was falling on the deaf ears of space. (Get it, deaf ears, no sound in space?\u00a0 Sheesh, work with me people!)<\/p>\n

So imagine my surprise when this happens.<\/p>\n

I get a Facebook friend request from a man & we have a mutual friend in common. Now that’s not unusual lol. Half of my friends on Facebook friended me entirely due to my dirty or funny comments they read on their friends postings. I almost always say yes to these request. After all who can resist THAT! Lol. But I also message a disclaimer before I say yes. After all, sooo many of my friends who KNOW me personally actually hide me or my individual posts or just delete me altogether! Better to get the surprise of my lack of filter nor interest in the concept of TMI out of the way before I accept a friendship!<\/p>\n

His message reply was to tell me he’s well versed in my humor since he’s been a fan of my blog since March!\u00a0 Said he found it cruising thru WordPress. Then recently noticed I was also a friend of Mary Alice’s.\u00a0 And here we are!\u00a0 So welcome, new friend Mike \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

To say the least when he told me this I was dumbfounded.\u00a0 Really the odds of 1. Someone actually randomly stumbling upon my blog & liking it\u00a0 and 2. That someone was also a friend of a friend on Facebook.<\/p>\n

So of course I accepted the friend request.\u00a0 How could I NOT!\u00a0 An actual fan! lol<\/p>\n

Better yet he’s interested in starting a new blog & wants me to be the West Coast Contributor.\u00a0 Crazy, I know… but I’m all… “Sure!”\u00a0 Cuz he assures me it won’t take much time.\u00a0 Judging from the number of entries everyone else does compared to my 3 a week, and well…\u00a0 I have to agree with him!<\/p>\n

So pretty soon (January!) I’ll be starting a new segment.\u00a0 Because Mike wants me to promote the new blog.\u00a0 Since promotion isn’t my thing I was looking at how I’d do that.\u00a0 And I realized I expend a lot of my humor on Facebook instead of here.\u00a0 So copying a bit from one of my favorite bloggers, The Bloggess, I’m going to start a weekly (or bi-weekly… lets face it I’m a busy gal! lol) wrap up of what & where I write elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I foresee lots of cut & paste in my future! lol<\/p>\n
