Wonderfully personal tweets from a few of my Faves
November 5, 2009 by Gee Carol
Howdy to all y’all at Sirens — I haven’t been posting here in a while, nor too much elsewhere either. Besides being a little burned out, I have been catching up around the house for Thanksgiving company coming. And I am a bit enthralled with Twitter, which can temporarily ruin one for regular writing. Today I am posting a few tweets collected in the past few weeks as examples of the fun reading available on this amazing application. I use the web version of Twitter as well as TweetDeck.
Enjoy!

Carol!!!! Good to see you posting.
I see that we have several people in common over on Twitter.
Enjoy the holidays m’dear.
Looks like twitter is everything I’d imagined it was…
Yes we do, Dusty. The biggest problem for me is keeping my “follow” list manageable. I have to regularly “unfollow” those tweets that I routinely skip or resist for whatever reason. I have no idea what people do with a list of thousands to follow. They must know some trick that I do not. Thanks.
Hi Robb, I am assuming your comment is positive, though I could be wrong. For me it is fun, maddening, time-wasting, fascinating and addictive. So take care, my friend.
Our Robb can be endearing with a dash o’ sarcastic Carol.
Dusty´s last blog ..The real unemployment number- 17.5%
OK, I get it, my friend.
