It's not a problem, Pat. While there is no need to apologize, I do accept your apology. Thank you.
It may have happened by accident. I fat-finger things on my cell, and I have come very close to blocking people because we have become accustomed to clicking, clicking, and clicking again to do certain things.
I don't worry about "trivial" things anymore. The world is too crazy to sweat the little stuff. I tell people you can say whatever you want about me and not hurt my feelings because I insulted myself when I looked in the mirror this morning. The only reason I even brought it up was I had time yesterday to do some reading and commenting ... and I do read here a lot... and I ran into three people who had me blocked.
I'm a speed reader, but first thing in the morning, my hands are not yet "under control" for 20-30 minutes after I take my Parkinson's meds. I can read through things while waiting for the medicine to stop my hands from shaking. Until that happens, attempting to type is a major problem and it is majorly frustrating.
Bottom line - I read, but don't usually comment. I have made a "New Years' Resolution that I will comment on here much more often in 2023. I will have to take my meds and then wait. It's difficult to even leave a 'heart' or 'smiley face' because that requires hand coordination that I do not possess first thing in the morning.
It's almost Christmas, my very favorite day of the year. Not for the gifts, but for the spirit of the original meaning of the holiday. I may not constantly remind people of my faith, but I also do my best to LIVE my faith. Mathew 25:40 was a verse my dad would quote me all day long as a boy. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
I sometimes frustrate my wife when I give to people who ask me for money, saying they will pay me back... but I know they can't and they won't. Dad taught me to look at the need and then give accordingly. If the need is real and sincere, I was taught to give... not loan. He told me if I give it as a gift, and it doesn't come back... no worry... it was a gift. If you give it as a gift and it DOES come back, then it is a surprise.
No matter how you celebrate this "holiday,' (read it as it was meant to be said... "HOLY DAY") Lisa and I wish you a Merry and wonderful Christmas or Hanukkah or however you choose to celebrate.
May there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.
V

Somewhere in comments you mentioned that I had blocked you. I do
not remember ever doing that, and have wondered why you never comment on my posts. Went back on the record to check & you were right. It was in 2016, practically a century in social media time. So I unblocked. So sorry that happened. I don't remember what was up in 2016, that was a whole nother world - I hope you'll accept my apology and if the mood strikes in the future you'll make a comment.
