No worries. I don't think I've logged in for months. Couldn't log in, I should say.

Alexa is almost completely useless. It was so annoying we got rid of ours nearly 5 years ago and opted for the Google Home Nest (don't know what it's called now) which has been great

Sorry for the long delay, @skyflower.bsky.social . I hope you're forgive my late reply. Nice to connect here and thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! Of COURSE I remember you, @ninibaseema.bsky.social! Wow, we go back a long time. Nice to see you here. I spent a lot of time here when I first started, but there were so few people. I didn't want to abandon other platforms where my friends and connections were more active (& plentiful!)

Great to see you @rockchristopher.bsky.social !

Sorry for the late response, @thiafin.bsky.social ! Thanks for connecting!

Justine, I call that "Ballsy Ragu," named after a friend named Ball, who threw all kinds of gutsy ingredients into bottled spaghetti sauce to make it great. Over the years "Ballsy Ragu" came to mean "fearless." Twitter was my first love. I may let it go dormant, but don't think I can euthanize it.

We are long, long overdue for a video chat. The year is ending soon, so let's shoot for the beginning of 2025, okay?

Thanks for understanding. For the past 10 years or so I have focused on mentions and retweets, so I'm insulated & don't see the toxicity. It's only present if you follow a lot of opinionated people or spend too much time perusing the public timeline. Happy holidays to you and T 🎄❤️

Ditto! Real life has been taking precedence over virtual. I hope all is well with you!

The idea of abandoning Twitter after 15 years is percolating, but not likely to happen in the near future. I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving 🦃

All I know is, IG randomly punished me three times for posting comments that were deemed unsafe for the community. My comments were innocuous and made to real-life friends and family. The imposed "timeouts" were total BS, and caused anxiety, so I took nearly a half a year off.

Hey @zaibatsu.bsky.social . How goes it?

Ley, it's great to see you here! It's like we are all starting over from scratch! How goes it?

OK, Dave. So zlofengir I thought was related to playing the guitar. What's Ivocenero? BTW, if I don't answer soon enough, you can always text me! 🥰

Good gravy, Dave. I'm happy to see you. But why the change up with your moniker? ((HUGS))

Ellis, this might be a better nice, quiet place to become better acquainted! Thank you for following!
