Several things.
One: If you are going to come to my website via a proxy, at least make it a good proxy, not one called Hide My Ass, traceable, by way of Norway, rom Midwestern state via Q West. I despise cowards.
Two: The most important really. I meant to do this last week. Congratulations to Jacob, his wife, and their son, on the birth of their first daughter, and first sister, Maya. Jacob’s wife, a practicing attorney and activist, who I met a couple of years ago while volunteering at the polls, insists it’s easier to get the body back if you pop the kids out before age 30. She turns thirty this fall. May the force be with your family.
The best blogger line of the week belongs to Bone. In a post written to his blog (don’t we all write/talk to our blogs every now and again), titled Reconciliation, he writes
Look, I admit, I have been neglecting you. But I’m here now. Fighting for you. Fighting for us. Doesn’t that count for anything?
Fight for your blog, against the powers that be ( FB, the Twit and the Tumble), or at least don’t go down without a fight. Why? I have no idea, but surely if you go, I go, and like the Wicked Witch of the West, from Oz, it won’t be a pretty site.
Peace
I always fight my blog. I can’t even tell you how many times where I wasn’t sure I wanted to publish something there and my blog was all like, “it’s too late now–you’ve written the thing and I’m going to publish it whether you like it or not.”
Sigh. Blogs–what are you going to do with them?

…and then when your supposed friends publish things about you that are unflattering, your blog just really revels in your discomfort.

And now there is that dreadful thing called “a feed”. You can’t erase that no matter what you do.
What does “via a proxy” mean? I’m not afraid to have you know I don’t understand you young people sometimes.

It’s like Mary wantS to steal your dogs, but she doesn’t want to do it herself so she sends me. I come to your home, you offer to share tea with me, I drug your tea with a sedative, you pass out, I leave with your dogs in tow. I was Mary’s proxy. You may or may not have anyway of ever knowing that.
Hide my ass is a great name. Admit it.
Congratulations to Jacob.
You’ve got one worth fighting for. I don’t know how you have the time for it with all that’s on your plate.

Only if you need to hide your ass. I don’t my ass is awesome. I’m also not much of a coward.
Via proxy doesn’t mean voting for the direction of your mutual fund, that’s all I know.
Thank you Cooper. It’s going well so far.
You can fight for your blog, it’s older than mine and way better. I just go with the flow and type a few words every now and then.

“Via proxy doesn’t mean voting for the direction of your mutual fund, that’s all I know.”
I get those too and always throw them away but yea it’s the same thing.
The proxy things means they don’t want you to know they are reading your blog or they are spending inordinate amounts of time scrolling through it trying to find out where you live. I don’t see why anyone in this country would need to hide their ass while looking at web sites. Unless it has something to do with their place of employment not allowing them to view blogs.
That is a good quote.
You stay, I’ll be back.

I know, but hide my ass is just too obvious for me.
I have no idea if I visit via a proxy. But should there ever be any question, I’m the one who visits six times a day to check and see if you’ve replied to my comment.
Thanks for the mention :)
Hopefully it’s worth fighting for. If not, well it won’t be the first time I’ve hung on to the bitter end.

You’re not the guy who came to that one post, the one with my picture in it, a thousand times, are you? Seriously if you are I left you a note there a year or so ago, I assumed you got it because you stopped coming. ;)
Nope. I never knew you had posted a photo. And when I google image Cooper, I just get the car. And then the guy who was in Hangin’ With Mister Cooper :)

Fight for my blog? Make me laugh why don’t you Cooper? Once it was worth fighting for, now…..
I have to congratulate Jacob now

Eh you know you would, you must and you should. Just because we are among the record holders and we must prevail.
I don’t have that problem, but you are more vested, or addicted, to this than I am. Consequently your posts are more compelling.
I don’t have time for social media. You’d think there was no life without it, and that is not the case. I find it more fascinating to scroll than to participate.

Fight for your right to blog changes to fight for your ability to keep blogging.
It’s got to be hard to keep it up after so long, especially with work and school and a real life.
Sometimes I just want to be a lover, ’cause I get tired of fighting. Think it’s a form of lazy paranoia. My blog used to care what her readers thought. This drove her into a state of blog-OCD. She’s never been the same. When that week becomes a month, and that month bleeds into… last year, yeah, you’re done fighting.
