I'd always thought that once you got a blog you had a blog in perpetuity, and could continue to add to it, whether you were a paying member or not. That may have been right at one time, but it isn't now.
I wrote an update yesterday, a few hours after I'd had an email to tell me that my paying membership had expired, and got an "access denied" message. I thought it was a shame to waste it. Off I go...

Too bad all the continents aren't crammed all together like they were jillions of years ago, but I guess they must have split apart for a reason. Reply #6001. Dec 26 17, 9:12 PM |

Jazzee, I don't like flying, either, but it's only the taking off and landing that I dread. It's not that I'm afraid; I'm not. I just don't like it. And even though it's fast, my body feels every single mile that is traveled. You could do what I do, though? Just make sure you sit by a window, close your eyes, put in music, and then either sleep or pretend to sleep for the entire trip. Sitting by the window gives you an excuse to look out, even if you're not really doing that. And it also prevents anyone from being on that side of you. I don't like talking to strangers on planes, unless they're mommies with little kids, and then I love helping to entertain those little cutie pies. Reading to or playing with little kids make a flight go very, very fast. It's always worth it once you get there! Reply #6002. Dec 26 17, 10:10 PM |

"And there’s that thing that most men and few women do, buy a new thing, and keep the old one Just In Case." Yup! I can't tell you how many remote control units I've found to televisions, VCRs, DVDs, etc. that were thrown out long ago... but the remotes still exist :-p Reply #6004. Dec 27 17, 7:42 PM |

Yeah; right now, in this building., I'm "that poor blind girl." Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. *Girl* no. Definetly not "that poor thing" (one of the neighbors said that to my face: "oh, you poor thing." I wonder how I restrained myself...) I love little kids, too, but I find myself tongue-tied. Mom's a lot better at relating to them (I feel like my vision impairment puts them off anyway, whether true or not). Reply #6005. Dec 27 17, 7:45 PM |

If you really want to get rid of a few things? Just move! Make a major move, and you will have to pick up every single thing you own and decide, "Do I want to pack this, toss it, or donate it?" Especially if you don't know absolutely where you're going to land. And if you haven't moved in awhile, you do tend to accumulate a lot of "stuff." You will be amazed at how much stuff you donate or toss. I know I donated at least 2/3 of everything I own, including furniture. It just wasn't worth it to pack it all up. And now that I'm settling in, I am SO glad I got rid of so much of my stuff. I don't miss anything. Reply #6007. Dec 28 17, 7:12 PM |

Your son and my daughter are cut from the same cloth. One day, she urged me to throw out something that I wanted to keep. Eventually, I caved, and threw it out. In the middle of the night, she called, because she had changed her mind, so out to the trash I went, to retrieve the item. One day, when we are gone, they will curse us for throwing out their 'prized' possessions. Reply #6010. Dec 30 17, 9:42 PM |

Yeah, it would never occur to them to (somehow) make room for said prized possessions, or *gasp* to value things other than material possessions that can't be taken away (and are far more meaningful). *Yes*, this is someone who never gets an opportunity to post. Not everyone in this heaed agrees with me. "This is mine, and I'm not giving it up... for anything." Forget that people are more important than thingss could ever be (pets are people too, so fall in this category). OK... so I rarely do fun things like this (I can't say never, and besides, it's no fault but my own). *Hadassah* Reply #6011. Dec 31 17, 10:21 AM |

Happy 2018. Yeah, Hadassah's "part of me," or one of us, as I say. There are many in my "system." And call me/us Jaz; there is one of us named Jazmee, but she's a little (some littles can function well and are better at adulting than the "bigs," but Jazmee is one who is just designed/created to be a kid. I know this is confusing, truly I do. That is why we started "We are just people" on the virtual blogs here to try and educate people about us. Maybe we don't do a great job, but we try at least).

I wish I could hear you talk, Lesley. I bet you talk with one of those cool English accents, don't you? :-) Reply #6017. Jan 21 18, 2:04 PM |

One of the things I really like to hear you guys say is "I say", you know, like when you guys say "I say, old boy! Could I perhaps borrow a bit of your Grey Poupon, my good man?" Hee hee! Man, that is just the coolest! :-) You know, I learned just last year right here in FT land that the Cockney accent that Dick Van Dyke used in Mary Poppins was just horrible. Was it really that bad?
