I worry about our country.
\nNo, not the NSA peeking in my email or what’s-his-name in the White House.<\/p>\n

I worry about Facebook.<\/p>\n

I’m not a big fan.
\nIn fact, I have many more important things to do besides social media.<\/p>\n

Like nap.
\nAnd eat.<\/p>\n

For me a computer is a tool, not a life style.
\nI prefer to call someone or speak to them face-to-face.<\/p>\n

I keep it short, though.<\/p>\n

I use\u00a0Facebook to note a new blog entry and then go back to whatever I was doing.
\nUsually a nap.<\/p>\n

But I occasionally look around a bit because almost everybody in the world I know is on it.<\/p>\n

It’s a way to learn who’s doing what and find something to worry about.
\nAnd what they’re eating.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know that’s why most of you think you’re on it.<\/p>\n

\"Some<\/a>My wife is always posting pictures of yummy food.<\/p>\n

That’s probably as close as I’ll ever get to seeing it on the dining room table.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say she doesn’t cook good stuff – just not what’s in the pictures.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure why she does that except to torture me.
\nMission accomplished.<\/p>\n

She’s a busy lady.
\nShe’s on Facebook.<\/p>\n

A lot.
\nI worry about that.<\/p>\n

\"Miley<\/a>I also learned Miley Cyrus has a half-brother.
\nI worry\u00a0at night about the genetic makeup in that family.<\/p>\n

I worry about where\u00a0her tongue has been recently.<\/p>\n

I worry this is how Justin Bieber will look in a couple of years.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I prejudge too much.
\nI have to cut that out.<\/p>\n

What I really find worrisome is what some people post.<\/p>\n

Some guy updated his page while standing at the altar getting married.<\/p>\n

Then, of course, there are the pictures of the underage drinking party you were at.<\/p>\n

The police like those.
\nMaybe you should worry.<\/p>\n

Bitching about how much you hate your work and the boss is another nice item.
\nThe company that’s about to fire you likes that.<\/p>\n

\"oops<\/a>Or the picture you posted messing around with other women.<\/p>\n

Your just-about former girl friend sees them 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Feeling a bit dumb?<\/p>\n

Welcome back to the single life.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0worry when the wife\u00a0announces we’re going out-of-town.<\/p>\n

I would think it would be helpful to print a map to our soon-to-be empty house so the burglar knows where to go.<\/p>\n

Warning – big time alarm system with video.
\nHit another house.<\/p>\n

Then my biggest worry are\u00a0the posts that are so stupid I can’t believe they’re for real.<\/p>\n

The sad thing is – they usually are.<\/p>\n

\"Facebook-Titanic-fixed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I worry this country’s going to hell.<\/p>\n

\"Facebook-selfie-fixed\"<\/a>My favorite is the selfie.
\nSomething I have spent some time pondering.<\/p>\n

I don’t expect anyone should be what other’s expect them to be, but good grief.<\/p>\n

This whole thing makes me grumpy.<\/p>\n
