I felt I was posting things

[AZ Jim]

that really didn't matter some years ago. Now, I try to limit my posts to issues I really care about. If you don't see my name it's because my life is so boring that I really don't have anything exciting to post. I think my posts might have more impact when they are of some help or interest to you all.

At present, Jim, any of your posts have high impact

Your posts, of your feelings, experiences, right now, paves the way for a lot of us...aaaaa lot

I think your posts carry as much or more weight than any here

 

[AZ Jim]

Thanks Gary, I try to hold my posts until I have something I think the gang will be interested in rather than just post anything to add to my post count. Problem is my life is so boring it's hard to find something to post.

 

[Gary O']

I get that

But your posts of anything right now sez 'I'm surviving...and doing as well as I can'

I just enjoy seeing you here....when you wish

 

[Mike]

I agree with Gary O'.

I don't post a lot, I answer more, so write if you feel
like it, or just answer a few others, but you will be a
lot more relaxed to know that when you do post that
you are in the group and we are all listening to you.

Mike.

I agree, we all can't have something new everyday!!! @AZ Jim

Jim, usually none of us has anything earthshaking to post, so if we all only posted when we did, nobody would be posting. One of the purposes of this forum, as I understand it, is to have a group of friendly people to interact with and care about. So I think you should keep posting as you have been. I think we all enjoy hearing from each other.

I, for one, consider you a friend and enjoy your posts to let us know how you are doing. Please don't "drop out" of posting everyday stuff. It's the everyday stuff that keeps us a community.

Jim, I challenge you to a boring contest. The most exciting thing I do is fall asleep.

Jim, I think a major reason for the existence of this forum is to share our life experiences being seniors. Anything you or anyone shares can be of help to others. Even if it is just as Gary said, to let everyone know we are surviving and moving on.
Sadly, as we grow older, a major thing we deal with is grief and loss. Knowing that others have the same life events is helpful.

I have been here a while now and can tell my posts have little or no interest. Still I keep posting.

@Gary O' Thank you, Sir Gary O'

Perhaps more read than one knows.

That's usually the case

Keep writing
I'll keep reading
...and send you a blue thumb from time to time

@Gary O' Thank you, Sir Gary O'

Perhaps more read than one knows.

@drifter I read your posts and often reply/respond.
I almost dropped ya when you burnt the steaks, but thought the better of it.

 

[drifter]

@Gary O', You, Sir, have made my day and I am most appreciative.

I know you do @RadishRose. I always count on you to determine if my post is worth a darn.
May your ancestors smile and look kindly upon you.
And I am sorry about those steaks, for the both of us.

 

[RadishRose]

What a lovely thing to say, @drifter!

Went out into my back yard to spread a small bucket of birdseed under and around my bird feeders.
I noticed the back yard is dry and cracked something awful, some noticeably wide. My wife watered
her front flowerbeds and mentioned the front yard dry and cracked. Gosh, to tell the truth it hasn't been
long until the back yard was flooded. For three months, I swear, it rained enough weekly to flood us.
Of course the property behind us is on higher ground making this whole block we live on something
of a mess. To say all that and today look and see these wide cracks, I don't know. Beginning to wonder
what kind of country we live in. however, thinking on it I expect it is some our indian friends would like
to have back. Rain or no rain, life is good, no matter what we put up with.
