Senseless Sarcasm : Request
No, I don’t want money.
Yes, a few million $$$ would be nice right now, but it’s not the point of this mostly pointless post.
What I want is my brain back.
If anyone finds it running naked down the street, please let me know. It tends to be indecent, puffing out its lobes at people and all that.
Today, at work: All my jokes fell flat, I made simple mistakes, and worse yet my temperament resembled that of an annoyed cat.

My ever-present writing companion
Now that the pointless part of this post is over, the annoyed cat in me will ask you to please refrain from doing the same mistakes that I did when I first started blogging — and the self-righteous @$$h01e part of my brain still does on occasion when it’s not thinking.
Blogging etiquette 101
- Unless someone asks for a link to be added to a reply on their post, ask first. That includes
- You tube videos larger than the post receiving the reply.
- A link to one or more of your posts that you believe is better than the post you’re replying to.
- A link to your blog that is automatically posted in every single reply to anyone.
- Yes, when the rule is violated, the violation can be edited out. There is a function that allows the blogger to require moderation for any words or items they don’t want in their replies. The “Moderation” feature on my blog is triggered by certain curse words, and by unrequested links added to the replies.
- When liking 20 posts in a row, remember that the time the like was posted is easily seen in the recipients email. Although liking posts to show support is appreciated, it can be demoralizing on a bad day when a post taking 5 minutes to read and 2 hours to write has become the victim of a game I call liking leapfrog.
Let’s play a game of “SAW IT.”
If you read this to the end,
- Please write “saw it” in the reply section, and
- Tell me where you last saw my brain and what it was doing. You’re allowed to be snarky.
I’m not sure where my brain ran off to either. If you do see it I hope it wasn’t doing anything to embarrass me. 🙂

Suspicious that both our brains are missing. I wonder if there’s a runaway brain convention somewhere.

It’s moved since then. Maybe my ever-present writing companion chased after it and my brain is hiding in the woods somewhere. Poor brain! It probably needs a coat in this 70F weather.

I saw it.
But I didn’t see your brain. If I do, I’ll let you know right away. Maybe I need to add a link or two to my comment here, especially one that goes back to my blog. Maybe that will make your brain scream loud enough for you to hear it, which will give away its hiding place so you can return it to its rightful location. Good luck.

If I leave a link it’s normally to reinforce the post. Or to explain something that I didn’t understand and I think other people might not along with me. I can stop if those are no no’s also. Otherwise, feel free to zap them because lord knows I’ll never remember not to do it. 🙂

No worries. I think people should know — and if people forget, there’s always “moderation.”
I’m grateful to all who read my blog. Everyone has the right to have their blog their way, and I would love it if all bloggers had a link to their “replier rules.” 🙂

I saw it too Joelle, but sadly it was too fast for me to catch. If it’s any consolation though, it was keeping socially distant and wearing a mask.

When it comes to being able to live on one income and enjoy life in a country that had 1/2 the population than it has today, you’re correct — they were better days.
We were in the midst of the Viet Nam war protests, but we were still able to find joy in music.

From the replies, I know my brain is skulking around in the funny farm after visiting the Galveston beaches. I’m wondering if it’s still running from the cat? If so, Chilly Coon Kitty is next to the heater staying warm, and he won’t notice if my brain returns.

That seems to fit. My cat was upset yesterday when I wouldn’t allow him to walk over my computer keys. Then he planted his 20 pound body in front of the monitor.
My brain should have more sense than to leave my body when the cat’s angry. 🙂
