Social Networking Etiquette Coffee Talk

This my first blog where I have the opportunity to rant and rave and I am so excited!!

Earlier I tweeted from my Blackberry that I was at Whole Foods drinking a cup of coffee and I received a tweet from someone —

“@WendyGYoung do you realize how bad coffee is for you?”

Wow!! This person does not even know me. I cannot recall ever receiving a tweet from this person to begin developing a relationship. What a way to create a first impression!

That was interesting social etiquette in my humble opinion but what do I know? I am not a social networking expert. But I do believe I have good social etiquette. If I was wanting to make a good impression and convince someone that I knew what was correct for them I would make sure I knew more about them first!

Like did she realize that I do not drink coffee every day and that when I do it is usually organic? Or that I have started practically each day since 1997 drinking Yerba Matte tea? Or that I drink green tea and those yummy green drinks?

Or that when I travel I look for the first health food store I can..usually Whole Foods? Or that I read all the labels on the packaged food? Or that most of my food is fresh?

And does she realize that I have never taken a puff on a cigarette and that I VERY rarely drink?!!!

Or that I have been an avid health nut for years eating plenty of veggies and fruits and balance my meals with those fun happy fats and protein, including lots of fish with all those good for you Omega’s?

And does she know that for years I have consulted with a Phd nutritionist to make sure I am on the right track?

Nope. She does not know any of those things!

Because she did not take the time to KNOW me.

If she did she would know what I am about.

And there is so much more to know about me regarding everything! It certainly will not fit in one blog entry and some of it is for me only!

She would not know that I believe that my healthy belief system keeps me healthy even if I every so often decide to even drink a cup of non-organic coffee.

See I knew this was an opportunity to let this bounce off of me and create my first rant and rave blog entry.

So thank you for your coffee comment.

I am now done!

My mom’s favorite expression: Goodbye and goodluck 🙂

PS. Before I even finished this blog I received another reply from someone who read my playful response that “Love is All There Is” where I referred to a Beatles song and she wrote back to tell me I was wrong. Case dismissed.
