Anyway, we can do better this month.
And we probably will! :D

I was thinking more like 'I Hug New York' - maybe as a play on 'I Heart fill-in-the-blank'. Oddly enough, most of the search engine matches for 'ihugny' are related to KW. Anyway, dissecting words (with varying degrees of accuracy) is a bit of a hobby of mine.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

I always read it as "I hug New York", too.

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

And only a mere 969, xxx

... adjusted for incremental postage _

I wasnt ignoring you .. as much as distracted by life and living it .. and being posted all over the country :haha:

I didnt even do Facebook back then .. it had proven professional suicide for too many in my walk of life _

"It wasnt you KW it was me .. I just thought we need a little time apart to see if it's something we both want going forward _. Don't get me wrong it was a great 8 years and we had some truly amazing times together. Its time for me to refocus. Whats that old saying "if you love something set it free, if it comes back to you, its yours, if it doesnt it was never meant to be"

I wish I could get back to posting 40 times a day.
It may a require an investment in additional equipment to solve the problem.
But hopefully i can get this figured out before we get close to 2 million posts. :-)

LOL, I love it!
:haha:

Sometimes Facebook contacts me when I ignore it for a couple days... ("Hey, all these people are doing things! And posting status updates!") I like to feel like I can give Facebook the brush-off.
Then it starts acting like a needy S.O.

Speaking of FB and the Watch in the same context...
...I've noticed that sometimes when I think "I'd like to talk about such-and-such in a status update, but I'm not sure..."
...and then I inevitably don't...
..I often think, "Hey, there's got to be a place on the Watch for that."
And I'm way more comfortable saying random things to you guys.

So, in summary: Facebook.
You can use your awareness of it to help you think things to talk to people about here on the Watch. *nods to herself*

The sooner you get it figured out, the sooner we'll get close to 2 million posts.
