I'll be a hundred and ten in the not too distant future, the old ship's got a few blotches, but she's still on course!

...on sharing...

my comment on a flickr post:

/
I´d never post my feelings or my heart on facebook, apart from this, it´s too complicated to use. I have an account there, mostly to keep up with postings of TV moderators.
I love flickr, it´s like a diary, only that each entry starts, and is usually based on a photo.
flickr and my circle of flickr friends have indeed helped me through a very hard time recently.
I think flickr is even better than a blog, because you can visually grasp other´s lives, it´s as if you were filing through a family or, in some cases, a very personal album.
flickr seems to be one of the most transparent ways to be together with friends all over the world. And all this in a private way, if need be.
I have a very vivid friends sections at flickr, where I want my friends to stand behind me and look over my shoulder at what I´m writing about, sharing my joys and sorrows. For me, this is the main purpose of flickr at the moment.
At flickr, I fave photos which appeal to me, I don´t necessarily comment, even less things like "beautiful, nice, good capture". I prefer more emotional comments, or none at all.
I hate flickering ads for groups accompanying some comments. They are the only nuisance with flickr. I don´t care about "explore", it means nothing to me.
