Where Did My Friend Request Go?? I am Marching to the West Coast to Get to the Bottom of This Problem!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

The other day I had a friend request and excitedly clicked on my request and I was directed to a list of all my friends.  The computer would not tell me who was asking to be my friend and now, my request has left the building.  Listen, my kids tell me all the time that the majority of my friends are imaginary or cyber friends.  It doesn’t matter to them that I can rattle off facts about many of the members or their dogs; they still shake their heads sadly at me and hold up their fingers in a big L for Loser. 

I get so tired of telling them that Karen said this about dog food or F said that about Julia Roberts or Jane is working hard with Murphy or how Ricki pronounces Tara’s name, only to have them say, “mom, do you have any friends that others can see?”  I told them these are real people and we have come together because we love Doodles and of course, the daughter with the French Bulldogs said, “oh, that is right…what is the name of your group again?….Nuts with Mutts?”  She knows darn well, we go by DoodleKisses and I am pretty sure her husband and she sat around one night rhyming words that go with nuts, insane, crazy, bonkers, or kooky, and this was the best they could come up with between them.  Personally, I prefer Bonkers for Doodle Honkers, but I am keeping that to myself because that kid does not need any help.

 

No matter what I am called by my family, I like when I get a friend request and now it is gone.  I am sure that person thought, “The heck with you, lady! Who do you think you are ignoring my friend request?” but I didn’t ignore it, some gremlin inside DoodleKisses was working overtime to thwart all my efforts to find a new friend. 

So, I am taking a moment and singing at the top of my lungs in the direction of Washington to the tune of Papa, Can you Hear Me?

Adina, Can you hear me?

Adina, Can you see me?

Adina, Can you find me in the night?

 

Adina, Are you near me?

Adina, Can you hear me?

Adina, Can you help me not be frightened?

 

Looking at my computer I seem to see

One friend request, who is it now?

I can’t respond to you

Although I have tried so many times

 

Now, that I’m alone

Friend, Please forgive me

Try to understand me

It was out of my control

 

Can’t you hear me praying?

That you come back to me

Please listen to what I’m saying

And give me one more chance

 

Adina, How I love DK

Adina, How I need my friends

Adina, Can you hear me?

Adina, Help me understand

 

Adina, Can you hear me??

 

I am not saying I am a bad singer, but what I lack in pitch and tone, I make up for in volume, and I guarantee if I was at Adina and Clark’s house and happened to be singing this song to them in person, they would ask me what it was going to take to shut me up.  All I would say is, “I just want my friend back!!” Remember, my daughter lives in Oregon. It is really not that far to go to sing a friend a song.

Laurie you are hillarious! I want to be your friend. U & I share a similar sense of humor & we both love to put it into song. Do you do what I do, like break out into song in public places & invite everyone to join in?  If I was techi enough to know how to invite you, I would. So if U don't get an invite from me in the next 24 hrs, pls invite me. & notify me just in case. [e-mail] Puppy love from InventingJoy & Furry Folk

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Joy, I just sent you a friend request :)

[Camilla and Darwin]

He he! I too have had disappearing friend requests. I also hate that you lose the friend request message as soon as you accept the request. Not cool! 

This made me laugh!

[F, Calla & Luca]

This is positively scary. How could I not remember this discussion? I see that I responded more than once but truly I don't have even a slight recollection and something this silly, I mean this good, would certainly remain in my mind. This is scary.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Oops, just noticed that it's an old discussion. Sigh. :-)

[Rosemary (Ro) and Enzo]

It may be an old discussion, but us Newbies are cracking up over it.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Rosemary!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Camilla, You are too young to make this mistake :) LOL

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

F, We are getting old :) I didn't remember it and I wrote it :)

[Breanna]

You should be a comedian. 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Breanna!
