I have no interest in sports or beer, and I rarely open my mouth except to eat.<br /><br />Regarding your blog: You do a fine job. To do an anonymous one, and I've tried, it's kind of a headache. You have to open an entirely different account using a different email. Sometimes, it appears, the cookies on your computer make it hard to pull off.<br /><br />-- FelipeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-3320494754252435822011-07-25T22:00:59.027-05:002011-07-25T22:00:59.027-05:00Beck, isn't it a surreal feeling!

Of course back then I never, never, never had a free minute for anything. <br />So maybe the joyful freedom of retirement has allowed me to open my mind to reflection and comments.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-89328246446305159052011-07-25T21:10:01.743-05:002011-07-25T21:10:01.743-05:00Babs, thank yoy four your comment in my blog and k...Babs, thank yoy four your comment in my blog and keep writing, I enjoy your news.Carlos Ponce-Meléndezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776876483806253886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-92096903656925464002011-07-25T12:02:33.194-05:002011-07-25T12:02:33.194-05:00Babs, I had the same thing happen to me in a resta...Babs, I had the same thing happen to me in a restaurant on Isla Mujeres in June. Someone called me Beck and it took me a few moments to realize why they knew me. It was kind of a frightening moment. Ha! Congrats on your longevity!

It is like having a conversation with a friend. Something catches your eye, a question pops into your head and you share it with all of us. I like your style and look forward to reading babsblog.Homer1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08636861662674668427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-74899333817318601722011-07-25T09:08:52.262-05:002011-07-25T09:08:52.262-05:00Thanks Steve - glad it had a slight impact on your...Thanks Steve - glad it had a slight impact on your life.<br /><br />Bill, it would probably be a totally different audience as it might, at times, get a little racy.......<br /><br />It is fun to think about - whether I do it or not, we'll see. I was telling someone this weekend about our serendipitous meeting and your mentioning my exporting furniture and I know I looked at you with a startled look. You were the first person I knew who read the blog!

I don't really care if anyone knows who writes my blog and the one I want to write is about my "youthful days", about 30 years ago.<br />I think it would find its own audience not necessarily the same one but I can't figure out how to do it anonymously. Yes, it is tempting and I've been thinking about it for a year or two. Maybe......some day.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-45158642092164318562011-07-24T23:50:28.507-05:002011-07-24T23:50:28.507-05:00I certainly hope you will continue posting your in...I certainly hope you will continue posting your interesting and informative blog.

Longevity is fairly rare among bloggers, getting more so now due to Facebook. <br /><br />I'm with you on how I write posts, something sticks in my head and seems like it would contain a post, I sit down and write it. I edit it a bit right then but generally hit publish within a half hour of starting. I tried to plan them out one time, when I went back to work on them again I wasn't as inspired and they seemed forced, I think this is the only way i can do it. <br /><br />I'm always contemplating another blog that is anonymous. Two things though, anonymity is not all that secure in these times and how would you get it read by the people you are interested in reading it? Plus, I think we all have a fairly distinctive 'voice' and I'm pretty sure that mine would be recognized pretty quickly. I would sure have a lot more to say though, it's very tempting.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775514857047122526noreply@blogger.com
