@dwalbert That is impressive. Thank you for sharing.
@apoorplayer Actually, with the winter wheat starting to grow it’s pretty green on the Palouse prairie now.🌱
@Miraz For all the distinctive colors on the male they blend into the landscape very well. I had been hearing one on our place for several months before laying eyes on it. And then only because it was flying.
@dfte I know it doesn’t address the issue, but we provided the kids with the technology and the education. If we’re not happy with the results that’s on us.
@apoorplayer Hi Tom. I am also a boomer retiree. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts.
@jabel How long did you pass out treats?
@manton I’m so sorry for your loss. Please take some time to recharge. I appreciate all you do for micro.blog.
@heyloura These are really good ideas, thanks.
@manton As someone who likes working with hand tools and writing my own code, this “hits the nail on the head” (sorry).
@Annie You are one kick-ass mom.
@gregmorris The whole app is great, and I especially like the iPad version.
@jim I remembered trying it several years ago when it came out. There were several glitches back then that caused me to switch back, but I‘ve been thinking of trying it again also.
@alexwolfe That was a good story. I enjoyed it.
@chrisheck I’m sorry to hear this. I hope you get some relief soon.
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds I’ve used the IRS’s strangely named Free File Fillable Forms for the last 2 years. It’s easy to use and caught my mistakes.
@hawaiiboy We’re the opposite. We watched the news until the shit show started.
@manton An author I liked (John Conroe) was on Vella, so I tried the format. I found the format awkward. Each entry was more than a book chapter but less than a short story.
@Mtt I’ve used NetNewsWire for a long time. Lately I thought I would try something fancier, so I’ve been using Unread. I like it.
@withers My wife & I live in rural NW US. We have a printed 15, 30, & 60 minute evacuation plan. A few essential documents and animal care items top the list.
@pratik I think you’re right. The book was well written otherwise. I plan to read the next two knowing that I will be skimming over those parts when they inevitably come up.
@pratik I’ll give the format a mixed review. The action scenes especially towards the end were terrific; for most of the rest I would have preferred a regular audiobook, and the sex scenes were embarrassing. I’m a 66-year-old guy, so I’m beyond that.
@bradjadkins I like that Hunter S. Thompson quote.
@davidmarsden I agree.
@lzbth I spent most of an hour today reading and reflecting on your excellent post. Some of it I identified with; much of it I didn’t. That is to be expected. We have traveled different paths to get to today. Thank you for writing this and sharing it with us.
