My thoughts are not always PC. I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut too.

Internet Friendships and Relationships
My life is full of people that I don’t have time to know. People used to make time to get to know each other. I wish it were still so.
I’ve made a lot of friends online, some I’ve actually developed *real-life* relationships with too. It seems easier to find people of similar interests. Certainly googling *bloggers* is a whole lot easier than shouting out to strangers on the street *Hey!!!! Ya wanna chat a bit?!?!*. Not to mention that could get me arrested.
As a single working mother, I meet most of the men I’ve dated, initially, through this medium. I am one of those who will not go into a bar alone, and after more than a dozen years of working as the secretary for criminal attorneys, I like to get some information about men before I actually let them know where they can meet me for lunch. It’s always nice to come home in one piece.
I know I could be wrong one day, but hopefully there will be enough information on my hard drive so that my family can hunt the bastard down and do what red-necks do when someone hurts their own.
But I’m digressing ......
The internet is a wonderful thing. It makes the World a small place. It makes us feel as if we truly know people we’ve never even met.
Telephones are great too. You can learn a lot about a person just by talking.
BUT.........
Nothing is the same as seeing whether a person smiles with their eyes when they smile with their mouth.
Your eyes can tell you when someone’s words don’t match their emotions.
You can see a person's confidence in the way they stand.
You can see a person's life on their hands and face.
You can't feel the *chemistry* until you are close enough to smell the pheromones.
You can't touch on the phone or through a keyboard.
You definitely cannot share a hug or a kiss.
I love technology....but I also love real life.
I love the freedom of movement in cyberspace.... But......
I need to walk on solid ground.
