I’ve had it!  This is the last straw!  Facebook<\/a> is ignoring me and I’m not going to stand for it any more.  Dang it, I feel just like I did in the cafeteria at South Junior High<\/a> in Abilene, Texas<\/a> (time to scrabble around in the aging brain cells here…..) oh yeah, 55 years ago, when I found myself sitting alone staring at my tray of commodity-based (color range: white to pale yellow) school lunch.  While the popular kids (who to my 12 year old brain consisted of everybody but me) all sat at different tables.<\/p>\n

Well, I’ll get back at Facebook.  I may be a senior citizen, but I’m not giving up.  I went to Barnes and Noble<\/a> and bought Twitter for Dummies<\/a> and A Survival Guide to Social Media and Web 2.0 Optimization<\/a> this morning, and I’m wrapping myself in a cocoon with them and the internet and will not emerge until I’m ready to debut as a virtual social butterfly.<\/p>\n

By Monday I expect to know pretty much everythng there is about widgets and RSS and SMS and feeds and CMS, and well, all that stuff.  Hey, I helped get Down Home Ranch<\/a> certified by the Texas Department of Aging and Disabilities<\/a>, and good old DADS  invented<\/em> the three-letter acronym (ok, sometimes 4-letter) (no, not that kind, although they certainly played a role in the process).<\/p>\n

So don’t mess with me, I can memorize acronyms til the cows come home (and mind you, they do).<\/p>\n

Stay tuned, and prepare to be amazed.<\/p>\n
