Let's Buzz not Bruise!

Let's Buzz not Bruise!


If I read one more comment complaining about the endless lists of failures of 'that other social network', you know the one - the 'L' word, I will be forced to involuntarily expel my partly masticated stomach contents all over my Macbook.

Yes, I will throw up, technicolour yawn, worship the porcelain goddess, in a word, vomit.

One reason I so much enjoy my beBee buzzing and blogging is the positive vibes (a throw back to my teenage years when Adam was a lad, eye glasses were rose coloured, mushrooms were magical, and the world was a happy place), yes the positive vibes I get from fellow happy bees, encouraging all and sundry with their 'shares', 'comments', and 'relevancies'. Let's not descend into the ever decreasing negative spiral that is 'that other social network'.

OK so we don't all need to run around in happy land like village idiots, or kids high on Beatlemania (there goes that throw back again) but let's keep our negativity in check, or, if we must vent, then let's do so on 'that other social network'. Let's take advantage of the accessibility, zeal, eagerness and responsiveness of shakers and movers like @Javier Camara Rica , @Juan Imaz and @Federico Alvarez San Martin and work together to improve where it is needed and make do with what we have in the meanwhile, in a spirit of cooperation.

I, for one, want to feather my newfound nest, not shit in it.

So let's go beBee buzzin', cousin!  No-one's cruisin' for a bruisin'!

OK so Pollyana-Julie it is. Nothing wrong with that. Nice to hear from you again. #9

Good point, Alvaro. We need to be aware of the past mistakes of others so that history doesn't repeat itself. But haven't we all heard enough by now? Let's move on. Onward and upward. #7
