Default Re: Howdy old friends, from geo steve

Char, if I read you right, you're commenting on what might be part of my growing partial disenchantment with facebook, at least in large doses? That you too see missed oppurtunities for meaningful topical discussions? There are in fact enough political rantsbeing shared and forwarded, but are mostly fringe extremist left or right, not where most reasoned thinking takes place IMO - near centrist/moderate, with departures politely here and there as subjects of polite exchange. HAH! No, I get more extreme points of view on politics and almost religion is all or nothing it seems, there is very little middle-ground for purpose of intelligent discussion, compared to many good forums and bloggers' sites IMO. Thats actually what I like increasingly about Valeries Lightfoot site in there - it leaves room for differing opinions, versus insistance on joining a "position" on something, lock-stock and barrel, and its gaining some momentum I notice. People are axtually asking "whay do you think on this?" - in Valerie's site, which is by and large what I am trying to say about facebook in general - while it's changing some, I'm weary of joining the extreme this or that requests,and long for more intelligent conversation in general. And God help you if you post THIS long of a post, LOL. So. Valerie's site compliments corfid when I'm in there, and does not compete with it. But if I'm back into talking Lightfoot, I'm in for a pound, in for , for a ... Euro... LOL No I mean in for the whole shebang the "grandaddaddy of them all", of Lightfoot rodeos - corfid, AND I'll stop in Valerie's site when in facebook, the best of both worlds. I'll still say hello to my daughter near every day in fb, check on the latest news and pictures of my grandson, but for GL, I'll primarily look forward to talking in here.

I see some names missing at first glances - what of MistyMoppins, JessieJoe, RW, OhLinda, Yuri, Fezzo? And others - the old regular from around 2009 or so? id corfid growing, or shrinking in regulars from backa few? Watchman? John Knowles Bt. I see is around. I just need to poke around some more. I guess my main Q is this: is there someone or two that kicked the bucket and I need to avoid sticking my old foot in my mouth regarding asking about them? Nice to be back.

Does anyone really want to play Lyrics Quizzers? If so, let me soak up the atmosohere in corfid for awhile, then I'll enjoy that too, of others would. Doesn't matter to me if I pose the clues or not. It's just fun either way.
