Those of you that have ever had the discussion with me, know that I don\u2019t like Facebook. I think it\u2019s dangerous and often causes more harm than it does good. I rarely check Facebook, but I often get e-mails advising me that someone I may (or may not) know is having a birthday or doing something special and suggesting that I write something on their Facebook page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I got a \u201cchallenge\u201d from someone asking me participate on their page.\u00a0
Here is their challenge \u2014 \u201cApart from makeup, breakup, wake up, 7up and look up. Which other UP do you know?\u201d Well, I\u2019m not usually one to turn down a challenge, but after giving this one about 30 seconds of thought, I realized it sure isn\u2019t much of a challenge\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up is a word that is probably used by all of us multiple times ever day \u2014 it\u2019s not particularly hard to think of lot of words and phrases that use \u201cup,\u201d like\u2026. wind up, stand up, keep up, screw up, show up, look up, sum up, clean up, throw up, sign up, round up, line up, catch up, roll up, add up, tear up, warm up, shut up, rise up, mix up, wake up, suck up, cover up, or shake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve probably all said, \u201cwhat\u2019s up?\u201d on occasion and had to \u201cgive it up\u201d sometimes and I know I\u2019ve often gotten \u201cfed up\u201d with things. I\u2019ve certainly been told to \u201cshut up\u201d at times and I\u2019ve even given \u201ctwo thumbs up\u201d a few times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes we don\u2019t realize how often we use that little word \u201cup.\u201d Just think about all the times you got all dressed up, or got all worked up over something, or went barking up the wrong tree. How often have you heard \u201cbottoms up\u201d during happy hour? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously this blog could become very long just by listing all the times I\u2019ve used \u201cup.\u201d So I\u2019m not sure why such a silly, and simple, challenge was issued. But it was, and I decided to \u201ctake the person UP on his challenge.\u201d I think I won\u2026.
