Tweeting on Twitter and Other Things

I guess I need to post at least once before the month is out...sorry for the long silence.

At the beginning of the month I was sick with a really bad viral infection in my throat. I think I picked it up at the hospital when I went to visit my uncle because he had the same thing, except it affected him much more severely since he was sick to begin with. They let him out on New Year's Eve, but then he went back in (to another hospital) last week. He was supposed to be released yesterday afternoon and as far as I know he was. However, his kidneys still aren't functioning properly and he has to have dialysis regularly. Your continued prayers are most appreciated.

I took a break from this blog and even reading blogs for a week or two earlier this month. I'm still catching up.

What do I think of the new President? Even though I didn't vote for him, I respect the office and I respect that he is the President. While I will criticize his administration when I think it is in the wrong (and it already has been, particularly with national security issues and life issues), I will not succumb to ODS -- Obama Derangement Syndrome. I'm not going to be hateful like the left was during Bush's Presidency.

Finally, I'm trying out this new Twitter thing. My username on Twitter is LilacSusan if you wish to follow me.

I haven't caught on to that Twitter stuff yet. Nor Facebook. I'm behind the curve.

Hi Barb,

I don't have a Facebook either. I don't know if I'm interested in Facebook. I took a look at Twitter and thought it was a neat concept -- just a very short (140 characters max) post telling what you are currently up to. You can reply to other people on Twitter, as well. I haven't done that yet. I think you have to be following someone before you can reply to them.

Susan, I have to confess that I'm not entirely sure how twitter works, even though I've been using it. I'm used to being able to see my posts -- know what I mean? I reply to someone, but then you go to their page and I don't see my reply... Plus I don't see it on my page either... maybe I'm expecting something that I shouldn't.

Hi Pauli,

I haven't tried the reply thing yet. I went to your page and I could see the replies you made. I don't know why they don't appear on the other person's page. I'll have to experiment with replying later and see how it works for me.
