Jackdaws In Flight

Random musings of a bird brained kitty
9 months ago. January 31, 2024 at 11:52 PM

As most of you (literally all but one of you) don't know me, who I am, or why I am going over seriously old and out of date posts and blogs, I thought it important to write a little why I am consequently 'zombie'ing threads...

 

Me and my wife are currently in the process of reading through a very dear friends blog posts going back as far as they are kept (I don't know if like other sites they are deleted here and eventually disappear, or if they are kept for ever, as we are VERY new to this site).  We wanted to know where she came from, what makes her tick, the experiences that have shaped her, what makes her... her, without her having to rehash, and reopen old wounds/experiences.

 

Unfortunately, as I am deeply dyslexic and have the memory of a dyslexic geriatric goldfish with severe head trauma and a chronically poor memory even for a goldfish, I have to "Like" each post that I have finished and read through the comments of... I appreciate that this is DEEPLY annoying, and I wish there was a "Secret Like" button, that simply showed you that you have read it so it does not annoy people with notifications for things from 4+ years ago (I get annoyed with notifications from 5 minutes ago, let alone years).

 

So, I unreservedly apologise...

 

Unfortunately, I cannot stop doing it... not unless one of you wants to come here, live with us for a few weeks while I read through each post, and reminds me when I have already read through one... fair warning, it would not be as fun as that sounds... and that sounds really damn boring.

 

So, I will take no offence for anyone blocking me, ignoring me, or otherwise getting annoyed with me... It is, as I say, an unfortunate side effect of my brain working on several hundred things at once, all of the time... "parallel processing is fun" they said, "it will improve your productivity" they said, "it totally won't ruin each and every interaction that you ever have" they said... next time someone offers to reincarnate you into a being, make sure it's one with a one track mind.

ReanaP​(sub female){Spoken for} - just a suggestion, and it may not work for you, but ...
save a copy of the link to this blog, and when you have liked 2 or 3 of someones blog, just leave your link in their comments and tell them your scrolling and have found yourself on thier thread :)

Jack in the box -
A fair explanation to a fair cause 😏
I could never figure out why it feels weird to some, to go through old blogs - for me, thats why they are still there.

jackdaws - I understand why some people feel annoyed getting notifications for something that is very old, I don't feel that way, I like the fact that maybe something I have written a long time ago still resonates with someone, but I do understand it. I do agree though, being able to read old blogs/forum threads/articles can be very enlightening indeed.

Little moon​(sub female){Not lookin} - Maybe if you pinky promise swear not to do it again they’ll forgive you 🤣🤭but honestly there are options to mute notifications for posts as well so most would probably just do that if there was an issue ❤️ as long as you don’t go unlike and then relike them all Im sure it should be fine 😋🐾

jackdaws - Wait.... that isn't the way you show you REALLY like a comment? Damn, no wonder so many people get annoyed with me...
All joking aside please don't anyone do that, that would be very annoying indeed
