Hi Inedible!
"...people can get a better picture of who they are talking to."--Inedible
"People" lie. Sides that, you
say something?

I can't
hear you.

We are in the great wide world of
Cyberspacewooooohoooowl--scary place!!

......we are not "
talking"..we are typing.
I sometimes wonder if I am writing to "people"

Who are you? Where are you?
What do you do all day? Are you a male or female? (
Do not reply to that question!) I like you whichever one you are....and bronzeowl and all...you are who you write you are... I hope I hope I hope?
I have been lied to many times in Cyberspace, my friend. I thought I was really cracking up .........AGAIN

.......but, now I know, I know nothing of a
certainty in this land....of technology; where no one truly hears another with
ears? No one speaks with their
mouth? We are all typing.
Many many many in this land choose to be anonymous, and make up stories about who they are. Honestly! I was shocked when I figured that one out!

I was a "bumpkin"! Utterly naive to what went on in cyberspace!!!!! Scared me big time! Thought I was delusional! jeepers.
I do not know why they do it; but they do. Perhaps they enjoy deceiving people? Perhaps they are really aliens from another planet? I have no idea.
I am too real here. A target. Bigtime Target on all sites I have been on; because I express my true feelings, thoughts in cyberspace. Which is why I prefer to private message these days.
This holds certain and real and true:
Whoever, whatever we all are, we all seek common solace, support here... Some are so isolated, hurt, and lost, and terrified of leaving these screens...
they are unable to step out into the real world
and have noodle salad in the park.

(a quote from "As Good As it Gets"--Jack said it)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and we know of a certainty...that what we
write here does not stay here? (on open threads...all is out there on the world wide net for anyone to see!)
I send you hug?--a typed hug from my real heart?
