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.

That's the scary part....no one knows.....LOL!!

[Adina P]

I am guessing that the disappearing friend request is related to the other issues.  Since it too is a notification it could be a repeat of an old one.  But I have reported it.

Also I did not notice the promise to come my way...are you headed to the west coast? 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Adina, Read the last line of this discussion. I even included a map :) You are the friend I am talking about...LOL. No plans yet for the west coast, unless this matter does not get resolved...LOL!!

[Adina P]

Oh I read that line and it sounded like an empty threat.  I want a promise!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I promise to sing to you on the cruise :)

[Adina P]

Deal!

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Once again, I'm late to a discussion and missing out on all the fun!!  It looks like Adina and the tech crew will be getting to the bottom of this notification SNAFU, but if the problem persists, and you (Laurie) find it necessary to follow through on your protest march out west, let me know and I'll trek on north to lend my support.  I'm not that big, but I pack a big wallop!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Deanna, Now, this is starting to sound fun....LOL!!!

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

A northwest rendezvous sounds just about as much fun as a doodle cruise.  The Oregon coast has some beautiful places to stay.  Hmmmm... 

[F, Calla & Luca]

The NJ coast is even better : )

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I don't think so. :)

[F, Calla & Luca]

It sure is more convenient.
