Re: You are right, I don't always do my part.
Sam,
Having dial up service, windows 98, and only type with one finger, I never know when I am about to exceed my allotted 2,000 minutes per month. I know, that this is a poor excuse, but I cannot afford to pay $.86 a minute for each minute past that threshhold. There isn't any way to find out how many minutes I still have left. I am just about resigned that I will have to put last year's PROPERTY TAXES on my credit card! This feels like I just stepped over the edge of the slippery slope to disaster, but what is my alternative? I must keep eating and writing!

Re: I had my own miracle this year as well.
Bel,
I dimly remember reading the blog where you told your fans that you will be leaving, but as I have already observed, I have a well-developed sense of denial, and I didn't or wouldn't understand why I am about to lose one of my favorite blogit friends. Say it ain't so! You can move away from a home, but still retain your friends, stay in touch, and keep on blogging. If this is inevitable for some reason, you will be missed by far more people than I will, when I quit writing, or take my ultra-long dirt nap. PLEASE STAY! I need all of my friends!

Re: Ahhhhh, those Miraculous Sixties, I remember them well. I bestowed
Benzinha,
In the sixties, all men were kings, all women, queens, if only for a day. All aboard, the love train! Those days of innocence and immortality were glorious. I wouldn't have missed them for anything I can think of. Like that line in King Richard II (I think!) where he said to his men, "Those who were abed on St. Crispin's Day, will hold thier manhood cheap, that they were not here with us on this day." (I know that my quotation is very poorly recalled, but I think that I got the gist of it.) Millions of people were only a few years too old, or too young to have experienced what we did, as we are much the richer for having been blessed to be there, and then. Parts of life are GRAND! Then, there is all the rest of it. Sigh!

Re: Sam, GOTCHA! I knew that no female could resist eavesdropping!
Sam,
I am only about fifty clicks shy of getting my 3,000th read. I know that this is no big deal, to many of my fellow bloggers, but it has taken me 22 months, almost two years (!) to do this. I am tired of being such a well kept secret. I wish that I knew what I am doing wrong, or NOT doing right! Sorry for having stooped to such tactics as appealing to your womanly curiosity, just to gather as many unique reads as I can.
I remind myself of that tee shirt, with the two vultures sitting in a tree. One says to the other, "Patience my ASS! I'm gonna go KILL somethin'!" Desperate times, call for desperate measures!

I had my own miracle this year as well.
By the way, I am counting on you to keep me up to date on all the happenings when I leave.

Ahhhhh, those Miraculous Sixties, I remember them well. I bestowed
many a surprise gift upon cute, but even wittier young things and learned the lesson that sweet young fellows and the sowing of wild oats could be as excrutiatingly moronic as drinking life away. However, men had been doing it for millennia and we girls wanted to know what that was like.
We discovered that it was very difficult to get anything done in life, that wanton sexuality was fine for kings, but that we peons had jobs to do and farms to till.
But, those times were experienced in an extremely different universe where innocent approached innocent and short rides on the Love Train were new to all. The new freedom of girls and their birth control methods was a boon to all mankind, it seemed at the time. Sigh....
Look what you made me remember and confess. Now, I'll be all memory filled and cloudy headed for a day or two.
I liked your message about caution and careful choosing as it prevents many complications and smooths out life's road. If only............but, I, I took the well travelled road of that moment, the one that made all older men weep over not being long haired, twenty-two, in headbands and on campuses.
Happy New Year.......tell us your new year story now.
