Surely, THIS has got to be a joke.... right?

For in as much as I can recall -- because there is always the chance that I am experiencing a form of amnesia - but I don’t ‘think’ - that I have had a fall - from off of a turnip truck - as of late?

But it just seems so funny, that I would find my Hubs on top pages of Google - with such relative ease? Not even Paul Deeds, Paul Edmondson or Jason - of HubPages, could pull this JOKE off!

Even though, they "are" quite the Team.

No joke or sarcasm intended. I mean that sincerely. I am learning that there really is kind of a system here - when speaking directly with "Them", that actually becomes visible...

Really -- I have had this team jumping around here lately, and from what I can gather - it is more hopping than that - of which they have previously done. Who knows, maybe I am wrong.

Although, just think -- if 'they' could? Hmm... Makes me wonder a bit here?

I have heard of them before -- that they exist. Because from what I understand, all things Google are "secret", even from Hub-Pages. But, doesn’t it kind of makes you wonder.... about the fairies I mean - Google Fairies?

Of course - I'm just joking here. A little tongue and cheek shuffle. I like to dance with words - on occasion.

I suppose that is why I have come to enjoy writing so much. An author can be passionate, gentle, straightforward, whimsical and creative; and yes - even bold, and lest we forget... and also flippant.

And, do it right here - on Hub-pages. But, in all seriousness , really - this Google thing, has got to be a joke?

Getting my writing on the top pages of Google is not the reason for why, I came to Hub-Pages. I came to simply - Publish my Passion. Really - it seemed harmless to me. That slogan - is great. It is sure to bring in the bold and passionate writers, who are just waiting to have their voices heard.

My religion and personal beliefs are my passion! So, I have published my writing here on Hub-pages, with absolutely no joke about it. Some have even felt me to be a bit too serious about what I am doing here. Perhaps, it is this - that is - throwing some of my fellow Hubbers off right now.

Ah heck... soon enough, they will find me to be genuine, sincere, bold, kind and honest..... oh, and please - I truly know how to take a true joke, and do enjoy a good swing myself on occasion.

But sarcasm... not funny! No joke...

Sarcastic people are like glass in my opinion. They just don't see it. LOL

Now, that was a "sarcastic" joke!

Some people will not take truth, humorously. They perceive that to be offensive... not taking serious things - serious enough. I find, that this is where I get myself in trouble. Not taking serious things... or what others feel is serious - serious.

And yet, on the other hand... what I take dead serious - I find that others, without any humor or civility whatsoever - do not.

What to do, when we find ourselves in these circumstances.... where no one is willing to take a joke... which is served up, from a different perspective, through the art and skill of sarcasm?

I can only apply one word to this condition - and that has to be “perspective”. And in application to perspective, there must be respect. Respect of another individual, regardless of differences. Then, we can have good communication and humor, and no sarcastic jokes... which are not jokes... but actually diagnosed as “passive aggressive” behaviors.

If a group is not mindful of its members... it allows a few, this behavior - of being “passive aggressive” towards others... in the name of a joke, thus.... “What, can’t you take a joke?” - is now, used to belittle others within the group. This is also a form of intimidation, which maintains power to only a few. Or, the illusion of power.

No. Not acceptable. Bad form. Divisive. Exclusionary.

With the “HubLove” contest that HubPages has just began - the Hub Hangout has been very active. Fun people and funny people. Cool people... interesting people, a few dummies - and a few that bite!

Really. I mean really bite! OUCH. That really hurts...

Makes it so you would prefer - to go hang out some place else... a bit more user-friendly. Not away from Hubpages, mind you. But away from where you are not feeling welcome. These situations, of liking HubPages versus not liking or appreciating certain interactions - are separate as far as I am concerned - personally.

But, I still don't get it? Dummies never do... that is why they are making so much money with books for dummies. LOL

"Google for Dummies".

And, “down-under” - they are even talking about "HubPages For Dummies".

ME - Me... Let me write HALF of it! This will surely put HubPages and all of us on the top pages of Google - much more. I am certain, that IF I ask the right questions - then we can get the right answers. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

I will reveal, everything that I know, about the Google fairies -- using “dummies” questions.

These fairies, for one... ask a lot of questions; and at the same time ruffle the feathers of wizards! Uh Hub.... tis true!

But, this is precisely, WHY the fairies -- are so smart!

I mean, give me a break - How many books, do you see that are written for 'experts'? You can't teach an expert anything you know? But a "dummie" on the other hand... will even buy a book that blatantly says... "dummie" right on its big YELLOW cover! And not even be offended! That is FUNNY!

Well, at least to me it is funny:-)

Sorry, I hope I am not offending... I am just in a very flippant mood these past few days.

As HubPages resident "dummie"... I am completely confused. Is HubPages a blog, or is it commercial? It depends on "who" you have this conversation with... and or what a Hub is penalized for, on a given day... I think?

Remember... I - am a dummie:-)

Do you want to know what the irony for me personally is - about “what” all this confusion around here is? Well - people who know me - "know" me... are in stitches right now. Seriously. And I will tell you why?

I am a "handbook" - "manual" - "information bug"! Okay... you can stop laughing now... although THEY have not! I actually READ the instruction manuals - that come with all of my "toys"!

I am "accused" of being a techie. I love technology. I fake what I know, or that others think that I know... because I - am geeky enough to read the "instructions". Therefore, when I need to know a thing... I am all over it!

And, I am stubborn enough... to keep reading or asking questions, until I am proficient enough - to actually have FUN with my toys, and not get frustrated and give up.

RELENTLESS.

This experience for me here on HubPages is more than a joke, really...

Because, although I don't 'think' I buy into Google Fairies and all that , I do believe that it is what we willingly give to one another - that we will become "fairy-like" for each other...

Here is to Google, top pages, jokes, friendship, HubPages and HubLove -- that is to ALL, who work together for the good of the whole -- FREELY:-)

I love fairies and the fantasy of them. After all, I have three girls, that I raised; and i have six granddaughters:-) and so... I must believe is 'certain' fairies... Google, nah!

Note: I promise for those interested in my 'fairy' secrets for achieving such positive results on the top pages on Google... I will publish a 'serious' Hub - soon. It really is no accident:-) But, I have even surprized myself...
