As a mom of three teenagers, the youngest a daughter, this is a subject that hits home, literally. I see her need for connecting, there's no doubt, but I am not sure that the internet is the best or safest place for that. We are monitoring it and learning as we go, but it is an ever-changing boundary for us to deal with. I am glad that the prof from my alma mater at least had the sense to get right back to you about your researched expertise in the area. From the article, it seems he is very serious about evaluating the real effects of this new social networking phenomenon on traditional friendships and on children. That, in my opinion, is a good thing.<br /><br />As for hand-written notes, I hope technology never totally renders them obsolete.<br /><br />ChristiCharm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-42197498382508800472010-05-07T09:35:41.562-04:002010-05-07T09:35:41.562-04:00Thanks so much Nancy for checking on the Victoria ...Thanks so much Nancy for checking on the Victoria French decorating book by Janet Allon. - I really thought that seemed odd- that the book is listed everywhere- {major bookstores, even Amazon}- and yet was never released. So now I know, it was never even written.-Odd, that all these places have it listed and even give a summary of the book.?-The Victoria book that Janet already wrote about France, I just love-,{The Heart of France}.<br /><br /> I love Interior Design books , and of course all of the books by Victoria.I have plenty of French Design books, Interior design/decor of all styles and Antiques are my passion. {Victorian and French style is my personal favorites though.}<br /><br />Love the way you separated your topic posts here-that is very "chic" ha, a good thing.--xo-ValeryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-74587693502634089622010-05-07T06:46:01.048-04:002010-05-07T06:46:01.048-04:00The four short suggestions in your last sentence h...The four short suggestions in your last sentence have become my intentions for today. I'm off to lead 45 minutes of singing for folks in a nursing home today...I go with Spring in my step (and will try to be chic as I go). I WILL write a note, and I know to whom. I'll count that as remembering a friend, too!<br /><br />P.S. I STILL love Victoria!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-18500607800978022652010-05-06T12:00:04.407-04:002010-05-06T12:00:04.407-04:00Thank you notes are always appreciated and even ne...Thank you notes are always appreciated and even necessary for the writer to write. <br /><br />Interestingly enough I have seen where for many of my friends social networking has helped reconnect them with close friends in a way that is easier than the telephone or letters. I know I enjoy commenting and seeing videos and photos of my dear friend's children and even my nieces and nephews. I might even dare to say that it has helped rekindle friendships especially that I have had a long time.Stephanie Gangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262200442167922493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-82133234320505089642010-05-05T18:42:24.428-04:002010-05-05T18:42:24.428-04:00Nancy, I loved the other day when you wrote "...Nancy, I loved the other day when you wrote "I am still in the game". Today Christiane Northrup, MD wrote that she remade herself at age 50 and that her over 80 mother still drives thousands of miles outside her state to go hiking in the woods. She contrasted this to 50 year old women who cease driving to the next town over. <br /><br />It's not about driving of course - it's about not giving up - it's about staying relevant. And I think it's a choice. And it doesn't mean we can't keep an eye on the past either or stop sending those handwritten notes.<br /><br />Warmly,<br /><br />DonnaA Lovely Inconsequencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609925729312148318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-81965203462798706222010-05-05T17:19:55.789-04:002010-05-05T17:19:55.789-04:00Thank you for continuing to speak out in favor of ...Thank you for continuing to speak out in favor of personal connections, especially written ones. <br /><br />Pendragon produces lovely personal works of art.

I was very thrilled to see that! It's one of my all-time favorite magazines. Regarding thank you notes, like you, I definitely write them. Take care.
