Beginners Blog

Wow, a first time blogger, a neophyte! That would be me, G-ma! I got my name from my grandson, who like most youngsters, try to reduce everything to the smallest form they can get away with. My granddaughter has reduced it even further to G, but I must have the "ma" at the end as I am much more than just a letter! I do see they are making purses just for me with the "G" all over them. I am pretty lucky for a company to think I am that special. Unfortunately, I get no royalties. (they don't think I am THAT special!)

It isn't surprising in this day and age to be so reduced. Language is evolving to letters spun together with no rules. No longer do you need a vowel to make a word. All the short forms that are used now. I can lol, but I am still trying to figure out how to roflmao while at the keyboard. Rolling on the floor isn't quite as easy as it was 4 decades or so ago, and although it might be bigger than I would choose I will keep my a on rather than off please. There would be a whole world of trouble I would not want if it were gone! So I can be found on FB, twitter, a gaming site called Pogo and now here on Blogspot! What a different life it is for youngsters today then when I was growing up with beatniks - hippies - the beatles - vietnam - college shootings - "all we are saying is give peace a chance" John Lennon.

There I did it. My first blog! Well don't I feel just a little smug. :-)
