There was a time where comments led to conversations that went on and on, discussing ideas and sharing thoughts. Here, now, I will read comments on my posts and on ones I'm also moved to comment upon. Sometimes, briefly, there will be some conversation for a few passes.

Absolutely! Feedback and opinions are especially important to most people who write, and I, for one, am glad you comment on comments!

To everyone!

I read as many posts as I can. I can go weeks and not have a spare minute, and then like this coming week, I will have some spare time due to the predicted low temps and the "vacation" my other activities will be taking. Both of the radio shows I do each week are done until the second week of January.

I'm not kvetching about anything. I love this place. I suspect that I was not purposely blocked, but when I use my cell, I can easily see how you could do it accidentally as I have almost done it myself to others. I'm very happy with my life and a large amount of my life is here. Virtually every story and book I have written since I joined here in 2002 was born on this site. 

I use Twitter to promote my stuff, but not to hang around on. I make my posts and I am gone. I do not like FB at all, and since they won't allow me to make posts promoting my material (unless you know how to trick the algorithms), I'm rarely there. I spend more of my free time on this site than I do any of the other four places I visit combined. 

As we get closer and closer to finishing our house project, I promise to be visually here and leave more comments. It will be my #1 New Years' resolution for 2023.

It depends on how I am feeling, how many comments I make to others, how much I am interrested in the subject, etc., etc.   It can take a long time responding to everyone.

Good afternoon

I have read comments on comments from time to time, but I at least always try to comment on blog posts that I find interesting or they are written by my favorite bloggers. I have even commented on people's blogs who do not comment on my blogs even though that is how we each get our Blogit money.

Re: Big V

I have been blocked about a couple of times and sorted it. Honestly I have never

blocked anyone. I just thought it a bit silly to keep replying to comments if no one

read them. I was really amazed by your dig of glass. A while ago I sold some family

ground for building it was full of old siphon bottles with which the next door

neighbor had filled his old air raid shelter. I was amazed to see the builders just

tamp it down and build over it. I am happy to just jog along here and do read you

often.  Always amazed at the amount of your production. I do remember little things

about your boyhood, I know it was tough at times and you had to provide at times

in ways to be sure of tomorrow. I have followed your recent health problems and I

have admired your tenacity. I recently found my school report, I left at fourteen 

To help my Father on a travelling shop. Thankyou for your post, and best wishes to

your loved one. M.B C.C.T.

I myself do not read comments to comments. I have a sort of a one-track mind when it comes to those things.

By the way, BigV, you're not blocked on CC's blog. If you were, you wouldn't be able to comment.

I have been extremely busy for the last three or four years. Between the loss of Judy and that sad time in between losing her and finding Lisa and the courtship that followed, I was tied up more than I care to even remember. It was terrible when I was mourning Judy and wonderful while dating Lisa. I was just getting back into the swing of things when we moved to Florida... and I've chronicled our adventures here.

We are working a lot, and I am writing an average of 2500-5000 words a day. My Parkinson's is gathering steam, and I know it won't be too long before I can't use a keyboard anymore. I'm considering a voice-to-text program, but they don't always work for storytelling. I've been seeing a surgeon about a new surgery where they implant a battery and some wires in the brain and occasionally shock it to stop the progression of Parkinson's. So far, he says they think I am a good candidate for the surgery.

BUT... I had time the other day to read some posts and when I tried to make a comment, I was informed that the poster had blocked my ability to make comments on their blog. I have almost blocked people accidentally when punching buttons and the "BLOCK POSTER?" thing pops up. To my knowledge, I have always backed up and stopped it from doing that... so I am not saying it was done intentionally. After I found myself blocked by three posters in a row, I gave up attempting to make comments for the day.

My memory is goofy some days, but I know Pat was one of those who have me blocked. I'm not sure how to tell you how to fix it, but if the interface allows you to block, it can allow you how to unblock. 

I remember our "friend" who left here a year or so back who made a practice of being a horse's backside (and I THINK I heard he went to jail/prison for fraud) and I can understand why people were blocking him from commenting.  I've attempted to NOT be a horse's backside in my 20+ years here, but my time has never been my own. I was running a live Internet television station that kept me busy in 15 dozen different ways, plus I was writing four different columns for 35+ newspapers, writing my novels/stories... and still trying to find time to do things in life. Right now, I have five different Vella projects in active production, but writing is fun for me.

It was odd that the first article I read this morning was this one asking about making comments, but if you can, check to see if you have me blocked. I know Pat was one of the ones who did. I don't take anything personally anymore. Life is too short to worry about such things... but I do attempt to read a few blogs every day. 

With Christmas coming soon, please know that I love and value the people here in "Blog-It-Ville." Many of you have been mentioned in my "special thanks to...." segments in the closing of my stories. Sea Gypsy has her name on the back cover of one of my novels for the use of one of her poems in the story!zzzz

Some people tell me I need to slow down, but if I'm not going, I'm not living. 

From the depths of my heart, know that I love ya all. If I can help any of you get your material out there in some way, I am always willing to do what I can to help any and all of you. From editing to formatting to uploading a story, if you need help, I am always willing to do so at no cost. I've had a lot of help along the way, and that requires I help others. 

Respectfully,
Verwayne
