Back in the day, people blogged under wonderful names
That required a lot of thought....
Fitcetera was a great name.
Jack Sh!t Getting Fit
Who Ate My Blog
Yumm Yucky
Some of the good blogs were sponsored -
Some were just written by a Fattie ...blogging away the pounds
In a basement somewhere in an anonymous Mid-Western town.
I have never used any endorsement of any kind.
Any contests or give-aways, I bought the prizes myself.
I have even won a few awards!
But never with any sponsorship of any kind.
Well now, FaceBook took away my Carb Tripper page!
They have a policy that people can only use real names.
Which is crazy - because many people have real-sounding names.....
But they are not real names. I guess they need to ask for I.D.
So - what now?
I don't know!
I think FaceBook is on it's way out -
Kinda like My Space was.
Kinda like Dancing With the Stars
Was intended for a younger demographic....
But then, really hit home with the Middle-Aged groups!
Most younger people don't use FaceBook so much.
Twitter is good - and Instagram....
I don't really know enough about to decide.
I like FB because of the accountability!
Or else a dozen Egg Rolls would have been eaten already.
By me.
Or Donuts.
My nearly 2500 Friends!
My dilemma this:
When I go to a person's house to deliver nursing care,
They will probably google me.
(I know I would google someone who comes into my house.)
And if my Weight -Loss Blog
Comes up, they will see 100 videos of me
Prancing around, singing
"Look At Me, I'm Fatty Dee!" (link)
Or "I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today!" (link)
Or like my former boss would say:
Watch the F-Bombs!
(The Devil Wears Prada for sure)
Because they sometimes do slip out.
And while I am not really Over-The-Top Offensive,
I just can't imagine how many ways this could go wrong.
Or to have anyone say -
"My Nurse told me to go against Doctor's Orders
And go on Atkins!"
Times are changing, but they haven't gotten there yet!
So- What to do ....what to do....
Any ideas?
In the mean while....
Thanks for checking on me!
