I really can't imagine a life where I communicate with my friends via newsletter. That actually its like a dream. That's why I'm trying to do it here as a start!

> Anyway, an uptick in people e-mailing (and blogging, > newsletter'ing, etc) these days, and that's always nice :)
Yes!

Thanks. Nice read.
yeah i left pretty much every social media behind in late 2019/early 2020, holding onto a few for the sake of "staying connected" and then in 2021 realized how stupid that is... now i'm glad to say i thoroughly enjoy the time i have with people in the real world but also through conversations via email and text messaging. writing has become fun, and i'm glad about that because it's very therapeutic for me. i used to feel like i had this audience i had to please (as mentioned above) but now i just write about silly little things or very big things, all for myself.
cheers :)
It is (writing being therapeutic). I stopped some time ago, won't revisit in a "big" way anytime soon (at least comparably), but it sort of makes one feel as though they are the "center of it all", and also the "least common denominator".
It's *so important* to have passive opinions, and *so insignificant* that we have the gall to express them candidly online.
That actually sounded pretty good. Where did that come from?
Hope you're good jr, until later...

No one (aka ego) ever said egos gathered together would be simple....
this is the way
we write a post
write a post

this is the way
we write a post
so early in the 'night pub
reminds me of the US Army cadence
we packed up our rucksacks and took to the sky
they dropped us off from a mile high
and I was always ready to die
so early
so early
so early in the morning
There was a Drill Sgt named Drill Sgt Money (actual last name. Spelling, too) who lead that cadence daily. Burned into my brain.
At least, I think that was the type of rhythm/cadence you were referencing
FWIW, a guy named Don Money played for the Milwaukee Brewers when I was a teenager.

also, not "Williams Muny" like Eastwood in The Unforgiven - though I thought of that character each time I met a "William Money"
Yes, this Drill Sgt was the second "William Money" I met in my life, oddly.
Also, are you typing your sig in with each reply? You can have it as a post sig/blog sig in Setting son M.p.
Now why would I put it in a settings sig when I could be cursing the day I was born every time I forget to add it manually after clicking "edit" again? ;-)
<LATER>
Clicked on the "Account" link... see no setting thereunder for what I imagined you meant by some kind of sig setting.
Then again, I'm to the point of physical/mental exhaustion for waaaaaay too much yardwork today....
well, not a POST sig, per se. It's more of a sig for every post on, say, midnight.pub/~inquiry. It's under settings where you can edit the main blog page.
Ah, I am wrong. I am thinking of Smol.pub. Here at Midnight, go to Account and where you write your bio, you can add the link there (as a plaintext thing, I don't think hyperlinks are allowed).
Or, keep the manual method :)
All in a day
