 There are still plenty of dumb people out there that don't get it. Bike riders, joggers still going up and down the trail without a mask. Not sure how this bright bunch might react but they should be called out.
And you can't help notice now much more rubbish there is ... Much of it is probably coming from kids but then kids don't throw dog poo bags in the bushes and they don't wear masks and/or throw them on the ground. I suspect most of this mess is from families that wouldn't walk the green belt at all during a normal year. A lack of etiquette being obvious Like everyone, we just want this to be over ...

Yes, we may be sort of locked in but it doesn't stop us from thinking about things. Like what are you doing to stay sane? How much joy are you getting from your animals? Our dog, Gypsy, just loves having us home but it gets confusing when one of us is upstairs and the other down. Have you got room to play or are you restricted to your computer or the jigsaw puzzle table? What about a song or tune or album that you can look back on that reminds you of a change in your life? This was (one!) of mine!. Drop me an email about yours, anonymously if you wish, and I'll put it on this website – davopr@bigpond.net.au  I love it when the only response I get is from someone from a big organisation, or has a website group on their list, that says they don't need free advertising because they get it anyway. What an arrogant response and so typically missing the whole point
 This blog was an impulse having a need to share some disgruntled thoughts with people outside of a Facebook page. Earlier this week I tried to pop this good-will image on to a selection of friendly Facebook groups. Via my laptop. It was pretty obvious I was offering this humble publication as a forum to help people get some work or help keep their businesses from folding. It was not going to cost anyone anything. I was prepared to work the hours to put in classified adverts, daily, and leave it there for a month. Great idea but the God-like Facebook hit me with this image ... What?  No human reply just an algorithm interpreting what seems to be the way Mark Zuckerberg runs his business. Zuckerberg is happy to take millions (billions) from Donald Trump and is considered powerful enough to even get Trump back in (Heaven forbid). It doesn't get more ridiculous or repetitive than a Trump. Yet I can't run an advert through a number of Facebook groups to help my new magazine and to help people surrounding it in this torrid time.
The irony of this is that as soon as I received the spam note I went to my phone and sent it to everyone without a hitch. I guess if I get the time to get Instagram up and running, also a Zuckerberg heavyweight, then I'll get the same result? I bet if I was to spend money I don't have then everything would be OK. Do you have these sorts of problems or can you help me overcome them? |
