A heads up

April Fools Day is just only a couple of days away. I just wanted to mention that posts with a title along the lines of "I have started drinking!" followed by a message that begins "Ginger Beer!" or "strawberry smoothies!" are not always considered thigh-slappingly funny by people who go to respond.

I am aware that this is will be totally unecessary for 99.9% recurring of you (I can picture eyes rolling as people read this) It's just that it has happened before and the people who posted them were good people who just misjudged how it would be seen.

That was all, no big deal.

ps I enjoy a good April Fool joke and will be looking out for any.

Thanks for the reminder, because I sometimes get hooked on April Fools.

April Fools Day............The day every newspaper tries to fool readers by sneaking in at least one properly researched, factually correct story.

Well, we made it through another April 1 without being fooled by some trickster. So there's that to be thankful for.
