Although we seem to have graduated from hearing what everyone's having for lunch, the ads are ridiculous and there's no way to hide people or edit the stream. *sigh* That said, I still put up little snippets of things going on around here. The blog, while I do have quite a few crossover pen pals, is still not "public" for me and that's where the WHOLE story goes. But I also buy one book a year, from blog2print just to keep it in the bookshelf. Someday, who knows... maybe I'll pull the plug on the whole thing. At least then, I'll have the books.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680851414073805302.post-27545229992905023762014-08-02T18:53:58.882-04:002014-08-02T18:53:58.882-04:00I just wrote an exquisite opus responding to your ...I just wrote an exquisite opus responding to your post and it disappeared when I attempted to publish it.

Thanks for sharing. I agree with you mostly. My blog serves multiple purposes to document, to stretch my writing legs, to have some fun while opining and even to make some beer money. I love your focus and your blog, I do more of this type of thing in physical books I create online and order copies of for myself, my wife, my kids and the grandparents. When the grid goes down, we'll still have those and so agree it's important.Erichttp://www.dadontherun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680851414073805302.post-80613045451141054792014-08-02T17:09:38.986-04:002014-08-02T17:09:38.986-04:00Thanks, Creed.

I really like how you take the "everyday" events and show how they are memorable to you, and hopefully your boys - which is all that matters. <br />-CreedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680851414073805302.post-26499806041188945182014-08-02T16:28:18.440-04:002014-08-02T16:28:18.440-04:00Good stuff, Darrell, thanks for stopping by. 2023...Good stuff, Darrell, thanks for stopping by. 2023, eh?

And possibly it will be again now that MANGS owns the majority share.<br /><br />As you know, MANGS is the combination of Microsoft, Apple, Nokia, Google, and Samsung which has pooled money to finance the takeover of social media platforms that weren't doing good anymore and this poor performance by that platform lead to the loss of sales of the smartphones, tablets and the brainchip.<br /><br />Oh, and it's sad how that Zucker dude was killed by a brown bear back in 2023. I guess you weren't to know in 2014 that he'd go like that.<br /><br />I'd love to read your follow up to this now that 10 years have gone by...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
