Ask Me Anything December Edition


I'll be the first to admit when something isn't going to work out right.  This section of the blog was something that I had envisioned to be a humorous, snarky type series where anybody could ask questions to get advice on anything from relationship issues to random thought-provoking conundrums that I could then twist into something unexpectedly delightful.  This is not at all the types of questions I have gotten thus far though - I believe I went wrong by not explaining fully what I was expecting out of the questions.  So, for now, I am going to leave the page option up for future questions to be asked and hope that I catch a few questions to be able to post up a 'real' Ask Me Anything' posting.

Below is the set-up for the Ask Me Anything post that would have been the first in the series.  Hopefully this will give you, my readers, an idea of what I was envisioning.  Please let me know in the comments if this would be of interest to you!!  And, of course, if it is the page to Ask Me Anything is located in the upper left hand corner of the blog if you have any questions you would like answered!!

MeWe - Better then Facebook? A Review


MeWe is the Next-Gen Social Network that actually respects the privacy of its members. No Ads. No Spyware. No BS. Your world is #Not4Sale.*1
I heard about this fairly new-ish social media site from a group on Facebook (of all places 😂) that I follow.  This group, that is strictly for Nurses of all levels, was having some issues with people reporting posts and needed another place to be able to post without fear of being reported and thrown into Facebook Jail (as it's not-so-affectionately called).  No one I know had even heard of this social media networking site before.

Maybe we have all been living under a rock?🤷  

When I started to do a little research on MeWe, so I could make an informed decision on whether or not I wanted to follow my nursing group over, I found out that it was founded waaaay back in 2012!  Its Creator, Mark Weinstein*2, has noted that he made MeWe because he wanted to give patrons of Social Media a site that gave it's users back it's privacy.  The Bill of Rights (pictured below) is what got me to sign up 😂  #2 specifically - "You Never Receive Targeted Third-Party Advertisements or Targeted Third-Party Content.  We Think That's Creepy." 😂  aaannnd this is where my love affair with MeWe started 😝
