Sometimes it is hard work, at others it is a joy.<br /><br />The internet is a strange medium for nurturing friendship. It can all so easily go wrong and be misunderstood. Try again. And then try once more. And, sometimes, a third attempt is necessary!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-45593328991821991502015-04-22T14:38:32.064-07:002015-04-22T14:38:32.064-07:00Ah well, at least it is innocuous as rhyming slang...Ah well, at least it is innocuous as rhyming slang goes!<br />Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-35295059269698312912015-04-22T14:21:25.221-07:002015-04-22T14:21:25.221-07:00Thanks for that, Carol.

I always said: "But then I would actually have to get friends."<br /><br />I finally caved, though, because I found myself mentioned on Facebook by someone who knew me when I was barely 18 and I wanted to put in my 5 cents about it. To do that I needed my own Facebook account. Ever since, it has sat there, idling.

However, quite why you were having a Top Hat with him we imagine to be the subject of another blog post.<br /><br />In these days of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. etc. it is quite alarming how many different kinds of friends and followers one can have. But, perhaps even more disturbing, is how some of the 'virtual' friends can become more meaningful in one's life than the real ones.
