Holiday Hiatus: Off to Bermuda

Dear Readers,

I am writing to you to-day to let you know of my holiday plans. My husband and I are off to our home in Bermuda for the rest of the year to enjoy the holiday season. I shall return after the new year...

Please remember to mind your manners and if you have any questions whilst I am away, please read back through all of my postings. I am sure you will find an answer to your query in no time.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

Until next time...

Charm: Let's Speak Nicely on Facebook

Dear Reader,

It has come to my attention as of late that there are some out there who use profanity on Facebook. Now, I understand that Facebook is a tool with which to communicate with others socially, but who of your friends uses profanity in public, or in private, for that matter? The initial question is: why are you friends with someone who even uses profanity? There is no need for this type of language and especially not in a public forum where your name is attached. I would suggest that if you have a Facebook "friend" who uses profanity or controversial language on Facebook, defriend him immediately. There is no other option; people who see your Facebook page will see the vulgarity and automatically assume that you approve of it. And that is no way to get your foot in the door at the local country club now, is it?

Technology is our friend as well as our enemy. Use it wisely...

Until next time,
HF
