I Left You a Great Tip, My Friend!


Once again, my apologies to you. I'm trying my best. I really am.


I've been hit with a wave of depression in my life, as it relates to a certain time of year for me. That is to be expected, of course, but truth be told, Blogger has been really getting me down. This used to be a refuge from life when things got me down, but all the stupid TOS changes and violations where they don't even tell you what you did wrong .. I just haven't had the desire to really create any captions.

I am working on myself, and being more sociable in real life. Coming out of the pandemic without my forever person has been a bit more of a challenge. It's hard to connect again when I've been distanced from people for so long. I miss getting lots of comments, and the feedback where I can say what I TRULY want to say, without having restrictions put upon me. I am not the bullying type, and it's funny that even mentioning a certain word that starts with SIS and end with the last two letters in the word 'itSY' in a positive way will have them block the entire post.

I want to be here for you all, and vice versa; but it's difficult to build, or in my case, keep up a community that I've spent a LOT of time tending to like a garden. Something you can nurture, and enjoy the fruits of your labor .. not worry about a huge corporate varmint burrowing in and eating all the produce, just leaving the weeds behind.

Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you all, and I'm doing my best with a difficult hand. I will keep trying to put out 2 captions a week, and you keep coming back, ok? I'd love to hear from you all, at least everyone that is still around!

  1. Hey, you provide captions and content in your free time, and we do not pay for it. We have no just cause to gripe if your life takes precedence. Take care of Dee.

    All that garden stuff... reading Being There?

    1. I have not read the book, and as an apartment dweller that has no yard whatsoever, I would love to have a garden someday. A fruit and veggie garden though, as I'm allergic to a lot of flowers.

      and thanks for the kind words.

    2. Jerzy Kosinski. Simple minded man who worked for one old rich man tending his garden and watching TV. Put out to the streets after the old man's death, thru odd chances his comments about gardens are taken as homespun philosophy. Ends up on TV, advising a president, etc. (this well before Forrest Gump) Good movie with Peter Sellers.

  2. Hiya Dee! First, great cap! I feel you on being frustrated by blogger. I've recently tried posting my caps (reruns of course) to twitter with links to the blogger blog, but it's provided only a handful of click throughs and only one comment there (and that was from someone that recognized me and wanted to reconnect). I wish you the best of luck and if you find a way to keep this garden growing, be sure to let us all know!

    1. Thanks. To take another page from the allegorical garden .. sometimes it takes a lot of shit to fertilize and grow your crops! Right now they are definitely giving it to us in 50 pound bags!

    1. Thanks Zoe. I really hadn't had to deal with it myself until recently. My heart goes out to everyone who deals with anxiety everyday. I will be OK, Im' sure. I've been reaching out to friends, and it's reassuring that they have my back .. and the same for my friends here in this blog and on the Haven.

  5. Dee, love your captions and am still around but blogger has never liked me and frequently won’t let me post. New requirements to read your blog also means I come here far less often. Sorry that this is happening to some of my favorite people I follow. I hope this comment makes it to you. -Kate

    1. So glad you made the effort to come here and say hi! I am trying to figure out ways for people to come back and post without giving up personal info a la google. Please do drop in from time to time and let us know you are swinging by!
