Mid-grade Facebook pouting speech

 "My fellow Americans..." 

Just kidding. I'm not going to make a political speech. I just wanted to start out with an icebreaker. There. Consider it broken. 

Now to the reason for my hopefully brief post. For personal reasons, I am going to take an extended bread from this social media platform. I wanted to make sure that everyone who may have need to contact me in the future has the means to do so. 

Some of you are family, others friends and loved ones and others may be neighbors, ex-coworkers, associates or acquaintances. It's a mixed bag, this Facebook audience. If I friended you at any time or you friended me, that means something to me. 

It was fun reconnecting with all of you and meeting some new people along the way. I intend to remain in contact with as many as wish to do so. But I'm shutting down my peephole while I deal with my own issues.

As you all know, I'm capable of rambling on ad nauseam about my self-perceived...

Oh, fuck it. I'm not gonna finish that thought. Or this post. I'm gonna post my quick "get off the stage" message and exit. I'm not capable of doing a slimmed down anything. I'm just here trying to practice for when I re-activate my account temporarily. I need to get on, get my info to whoever might need it and get off. I don't want to leave my account up and viewable for more than a week. 

So how might it read? 

"Dear friends. I'm going to take an extended break from Facebook. It may wind up being permanent, I don't know. I just wanted to make sure that anyone who might need to contact me has the means to do so. I'll leave my messenger open for the next week to give out my contact information. After that, I'll be de-activating my account again and won't have access to Messenger."

Too long. I've got to pare it down to something like a tweet. 

"I'll be off of Facebook indefinitely. If anyone needs my contact information, PM me while this account is still active."
