But I did the commenting only part for five years first because my personal committments were too heavy to start something new. I'm glad I took a chance, though; there's a lot of enjoyment to be had in having a place for your very own voice to come out. I think there is a lot of interest here in hearing each others' stories, just as in real life. We all have those stories, and we are the most qualified to tell our own!<br /><br />When I was solely commenting, I too liked getting a reply. It felt more like a conversation. I still use that criteria when choosing new blogs to leave comments on. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-58376410310347687442018-02-12T23:45:40.097-04:002018-02-12T23:45:40.097-04:00We have to take our pluses where we find them, eh ...We have to take our pluses where we find them, eh Martha :) Thirty-five days until the spring equinox, my friend!jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-19204285953313780292018-02-12T23:42:22.355-04:002018-02-12T23:42:22.355-04:00One of my friends slipped on the ice, hit her car,...One of my friends slipped on the ice, hit her car, and ended up with cracked ribs and a twisted knee . . .

I can't remember why I changed my mind unless it was because I had a new boyfriend.
