HI! OH my gosh. I have not had the writing bug in a long time. Its my passion and my art side and yet im in a winter season as far as writing goes. Thats ok.... A friend of mine has parents who are on Facebook and the internet as they are retired etc. She was telling me that they think of the internet as the local news paper ;) You know...when the newspaper boy / girl would drop off a real live paper wrapped in plastic at 5 A.M. and you would start the coffee brewing and then in your slippers go and get the paper. Rain or snow it was there!

 The headlines were always real live news! There was local news and the news team would go get the facts and they would just state the facts as correct as they could do with all their research. There was also state and world news. Again....just the facts and not too much emotions involved. There was a opinion page...and there people could muster up all sorts of bogus stuff and most did not read into that page....or if they did read they took it with a grain of salt. NOW....We have the internet and twitter and Facebook where people can just put up any old info. YES if you go to the real news cnn or in my case sfgate then you get real news yet many elderly people go to weird sights and think of it as the old news paper and if it is published its right....... Wow.......
