A reader left me this comment today – “Good morning. R u a person?” …
I’m really after blogging for nearly a year and publishing nearly 800 posts, a little lost for words (strange I know) … so please can you guys answer here for my reader … and there’s a poll …
Please keep it polite – could be a genuine question !
😀
Was thinking of “Are u serious ?” OR “Really ? Really Really ?”
Cheers
Don Charisma

weight loss and diet as tags to this??? Hmm I might follow trend ;)) Have just been slinking through your blog. 🙂
I have a tag policy, it’s very scientific, plus a few curved balls … keeps me amused which is the most important thing 😀
I’m testing a few things myself :)) glad to have had time to catch up with some reading of your blog 🙂
Hope all is well hun 😀
All is really good thank you . Just have a lot of work to do in my paid job lately BUT in three weeks today I will be in Italy to start a 4 week adventure around Italy ,bit of Germany and then Austria…my very first European trip . I’m so excited. 🙂
Wow, really excited for you … I’ve been in Italy, Germany and Austria … food wise Italy is best … Austria has breathtaking scenery … Germany, well I’ll wait for your report !
What an odd question. Are any of us people? I mean, we do exist to each other in the Cyber world, but there is a person on the other side. At least I like to believe there is.
99% of the time there is another person on the other end of a blog comment, in my opinion … so yes odd question, I think it’s vague and ambiguous is mainly why it’s odd …
I think that was an interesting question but its obvious you are real…I don’t think robots are that advanced yet 😀
LOL, long way of hun, and yes definitely real 😀
That,s cute! I suppose the honest answer is it is a matter of perspective, 🙂
The question’s ambiguous, so leaves a lot of scope for answers … another way of saying it’s subjective …
Good morning! I just thinking… Your versatility… He probably suspects you of being a group… 😉
Could be, problem with being vague, is well, it’s vague …
Ah at least he provided some entertainment 🙂
Something to blog about 😀
That question is interesting! LOOOL!
How can a robot reply and post something like Sir Don posts? 😀
LOL, who knows perhaps in these days of advanced technology they’ve developed an artificial intelligence enough to match my own meagre grey matter … stranger things have been known 😀
Still won’t convince me Sir, sorry. LOL
I would love to answer that blogger back but I’d rather keep it to myself coz maybe I’d end up being offensive. Hahaha
Thanks Mikee, appreciate your support, and I know you know I’m a real person … don’t worry about the commenter, it’s no biggie for me 😀
Already know that you’re a real person Sir.
Hope all is well there with you and you’re having a great weekend!
Cheers, big ears! 😀
Alls good with me Mikee, having fun and relaxed in my life pretty much 😀
Great to know Sir! Lovely week ahead! 😀
You too mikee, hope you have a lovely one 😀
Yep, voted for being A #1 authentic Real Person. ;-). Have a great week Don!
Thanks ! … I didn’t have any doubts myself 😀
LOL, be nice to see a real photo of you, that would prove your point I think Don 😀
LOL, already posted one few weeks ago, maybe you missed … what point is that ? 😀
Ah I did miss it, to prove you’re real of course LOL 😀
Why would I need to prove to anyone I’m real ?
Hey im just kidding! im sure you and most people know you’re real lol, just in response to the question that guy asked.
Alls well then – I don’t need to prove myself to anyone except myself … thecobweboriumemporium said pretty much how I feel about it … my blog is public and there’s plenty about me here already … so not looking around might indicate laziness on the part of the asker, which isn’t very friendly really is it …
I do apologise most profusely Don, I really should spend my every waking moment looking at your blog.
I’d recommend that Amanda … sarcasm suits you very well, but says more about you than me 😀
LOL, what are you like Don! 😀
Indeed … having fun with you guys, it’s keeps me amused Amanda … what else would I do with my Sundays !
😀
and if not a real person who is posting some of the best photos in the blogosphere? and such wonderful prompts? really now…. 🙂
Each to their own I guess 😀
What does rua mean?
“Are you a”
I don’t know, but if you are an artifical intelligence – you write extremely well. And very funny too.
PMSL … thanks Karen … that’s very funny, made me laugh 😀
Q: R U a person? … As opposed to? I would have liked some options from the poser [of the question], but I’ll have to work with what information we have….
R u a person? A: Does it matter?
Personally I enjoy the Don posts so keep reading. If there’s a post which doesn’t hold something for me I skip it. I’m sure that if Don C. visited my blog he’d do exactly the same thing.
Maybe you’re looking at my avatar and wondering if perhaps I’m a person – or maybe I’m just a talking cobweb? I’m a person, female and I chose to have that avatar for various reasons.
1. I made it and I like it, so want to show it off!
2. I don’t ‘put myself’ on the internet because I’ve had experience of how disgracefully some folks can behave.
3. Would you honestly walk up to (even) ten complete strangers in your town centre and give them a double sided A4 sheet of personal details about yourself? Your age? Date of birth? Your name? Mobile/cell phone number? Email address? A rough location of where you live? Where you work? Where your partner works? Where your parents live? Where you were born? The ages and sexes of your children? Where they go to school? I could go on with this list, but I think you’re getting the idea.
I’m astounded, daily, about the type of information people put on all the social (anti-social) networks. They might not put their DOB up there, but they say: ‘It’s my birthday today!’ then tell us all how old they are. DOH! DOB right there! In this age of identity theft and crazy folk who decide they’ve fallen in love with you so want to seek you out to declare their love by stalking you …. !!!! Why would you put information out there for just anyone to read and do whatever they want with that personal information?!
But .. back to the start: R u a person? and perhaps ask a question in reply (and in the same ‘text speak’ style): A: Y?
So well said and very detailed, perfect … I have nothing to add, first class 😀
warm regards Don
So, are you??
yes
I’d come and see you in you natural habitat 👍☺️ x
You’re welcome anytime 😀
You are a really good friend too Don and I don’t use to have artificial friends 😀
I did vote.
Thanks Irene, and same for you too 😀
😀
😀
yes he is as real a person as a person can be. 🙂 You won’t find persons more genuine!
Thank you 😀
haply that blogger is not well versed in the english language and couldn’t express well what she/he’d like to ask you…still voted for that blogger to stop asking dumb questions ;D
Thanks Marlyn … glad at least one of my readers knows I’m not Google’s latest artificial intelligence toy 😀
sounds insulting simply because i don’t know what she/he means. if i were you. i’d ask that blogger same question ‘are you?’
LOL … yes a little vague really … could take the logical route and say simply “yes” …
Personally, I might have shaved before posing for the portrait, but otherwise a fun (in a weird way) post, DC.
};-)>
LOL, you’re sense of humour a bit obtuse Mr Nav, but I did get it … and thanks just one of those questions I get asked from time to time 😀
You are a good sport, Mr. Charisma, Sir. It’s the Irish blood in me—can’t help it.
Weird, the questions you must get, on occasion.
I’ve posted most of them, and yes stranger and stranger … oh well makes for good discussion, and helps me learn not to take myself so seriously 😀
A life philosophy we should all embrace, at least a little.
LOL A little is a very good start !
