I can do better at home on a day when I don’t even want to make an effort.

Looking forward to seeing your version of this.

And this.

Heck, even these! Doesn’t need to be 'spensive.

It happens to the best of us. Posts not to your interest (or anyone else’s, for that matter) can be easily scrolled by or ignored, no?

Tangents or thread drift

Some of us are chattier than others. Some of us are linear thinkers, and some of us are not. Linear thinkers often become annoyed or frustrated when non-linear thinkers write or speak, because their minds don’t work the same way. I don’t remember people talking about thread drift until the past week. Should we be creating new topics every time a microdiscussion starts up or a tangent takes off, in a thread with a defined topic? I’m sure I’ve been causing a lot of tangents to be taken. If yo…
