Indeed, the internet with all it's so-called wonders, cannot replace actual live conversations.
Nor can it also convey when a person jokes around with another.
Me?... I'm a jokester that my friends all know all too well.
I look at it this way, the way the world is these days, with the drama, the crime, and all the rest of that crap, a little humor to break things up and make someone smile, is a healthy thing.

So I noticed!
Matt, none of your posts are ever humorous but are generally insulting, fact less or opinionated

Since I'm an East Coast Conservative, I'll make a note of it.
I was strictly brought up not to waste food because many of my parent`s generation still remembered the meaning of hunger first hand.
Of course I didn`t like those rules as a child growing up in a time of abundance and argued how does it help the poor in Afrika if I eat something I don`t like or what difference does it make if I don`t throw it away.
Today I try to throw away as little as possible.
Apart from the money it`s also about ethics and moral.
Just thinking about how much suffering and pain is involved in a jug of milk, a carton of eggs, a can of tuna or a steak I cannot justify a half eaten plate going back into the kitchen.
Even the critters on my vegetables and bread have died a slow and painful death when the farmers sprayed their fields.
None of it can be seriously avoided and have no plans to become a vegetarian but I think it`s a matter of respect to award those creatures and give them a meaning by actually feeding me and not by throwing food away.
On the other hand when shopping groceries I always reach for the freshest stuff on the back of the shelf which makes me such a hypocrite because I`m very aware that such behavior leads to more food waste on the part of the supermarket. But no matter what you do there`s always something. LOL
