Well, since someone decided this was a good day to come clean (thanks, Chimchim!
), I thought I would come clean about my growing use/abuse of the "Like" button.
In the beginning, I hated the thing. I hated the whole idea of it. I just didn't get it at all, and I'm one of those "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" personalities.
Weeeellllll . . . some special pleading first. I have (among other things) severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or, as the Brits call it, "Myalgic Encephelomyelitis". Brrrrr! Sounds much scarier that way!) That is the primary reason I am not on this forum more often, nor post more often. Some days I have several hours where I am "almost" normal for 2-4 hours; other days I can barely get out of bed (and wouldn't, were it not for the cats).
I often find myself smiling, laughing and/or nodding my head in agreement with posts, but simply have not the energy to reply, or cannot assemble a sensible thing to say in response. And so began the hitting of the "Like" button.
"Like" (this). "Like" (that). "Like" (something else). Some nights, 1 or 2 straight hours of nothing but "Likes"!!
In fact, there is only one person whose posts I never "Like", as much as I would truly LIKE too!!
That person, of course, is Morandir, and I refrain from "liking" his posts out of respect for his mortal hatred of the damn thing!
Sigh. So I now confess that I have become sort of addicted to the damn "Like" button, because so often it really is the only way I have of giving y'all a smile, or nod of agreement.
And Morandir, you can consider almost all of your posts "Liked." So there!
