[ just an explanation, am on a G+, yes, do i have the option of using my G+ profile here, yes....but  was on blogger long before there was a G+, my close peeps knew who i was but i liked the ability to write what i thought with a bit of privacy...limiting and controlling what i gave away and what i concealed....i thought long and hard [for about 20 seconds, but a good 20 seconds] and decided not to use my G+ profile here....i don't mind being public on G+...but here i prefer to hide under my bridge and only sally forth...when i feel like it]
