I take the occasional selfie and there is nothing wrong with it but I wouldn't place myself in any risk just to take a photo. It's crazy that people feel the strong need to do this and I don't think it's just because they want to please their followers. Many people these days seem to thrive off the attention it gives them but it shouldn't be to the detriment of their well being or of anyone else's. #GlobalBloggingMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189475705940533119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-11118810866152789812019-01-23T16:35:32.276-08:002019-01-23T16:35:32.276-08:00I have never been a 'selfie' taker.

The real problem is people lack the common sense to make good judgment decisions. Is this a good idea or not? No one is going to protect you like you are going to protect yourself. Listen up, dunderheads! Think for yourselves and question your situations instead of throwing caution to the wild. Who knows, you might be saving your life or another. Alright, enough ranting. Thanks for joining me today for a not-so-WW! ;)Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-75823378719568327102019-01-23T08:27:34.353-08:002019-01-23T08:27:34.353-08:00Selfies are fine, and can be fun, but we would nev...Selfies are fine, and can be fun, but we would never do anything risky to get one.

Like only on solid ground with no speeding vehicles or moving objects around me, or holes to step in. If accidents and deaths due to selfies increase horribly, camera and phone companies may have to put a warning label like those on cigarette packages. Su-sieee!

So I've since made a conscious effort to take more pictures of us together and maybe the odd one of me alone (1 in 1000000). Would I put them online, very rarely?<br /><br />As someone whose grandmothers died without seeing any grandkids and my own mom passed away only hearing that my sister had just given birth and didn't get the chance to see any of her of grandkids, I will definitely not be taking any silly risks. I am praying that the curse in my lineage where the women don't see their grandkids will end with my mother. It's not really a curse but you know what I mean. Like there are families where even the great-grandparents are still alive.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Segilola SalamiSegilola Salamihttp://www.segilolasalami.co.uk/podcast-segilola-salami/subscribe-to-podcast/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-6618434902883603712019-01-17T05:59:27.773-08:002019-01-17T05:59:27.773-08:00The kid photos are hilarious.

No...we don't take many selfies...mainly because I never remember to do that. I don't take photos of food either. And when I am walking in the woods or enjoying friends, I don't have my phone handy. It drives me mad when I see a mom walking with a stroller in the neighborhood...or at the park with her kids and she is on the damn phone.
