Comments on: Rev. Jack http://www.grannymar.com/blog/2009/09/12/rev-jack/ I am not a has-been. I am a will be. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance Tue, 22 May 2012 08:28:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Alice http://www.grannymar.com/blog/2009/09/12/rev-jack/#comment-26416 Alice Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:48:33 +0000 http://www.grannymar.com/blog/?p=4923#comment-26416 (Just catching up here after a busy week last week!) I see I've missed a lot going on. Your surgery is over! Glad to see that and how well you're doing apparently as you're already home and getting used to walking "with two legs the same length." That must feel good again, or will when you're completely pain free. I must say that your can do attitude under the circumstances is commendable. With an attitude like that you'll be up and about dancing and riding that fancy bicycle or some other in no time at all. Whew! (There I go writing one of those longgggg sentences and expecting everyone to like reading them. I blame my wordiness on being born in the American south and growing up reading William Faulkner. Now that was one long winded chap.) Anyhow, Grannymar, I'm really happy you're doing so well. (Just catching up here after a busy week last week!) I see I’ve missed a lot going on.

I am more inclined to use fewer words! Just as well since I can't spell! :roll: I think I have written three long posts in the three years of my blogging. I am more inclined to use fewer words!

The posts are getting longer, though. Incidentally, priests in general tend to preach boring, irrelevant sermons, I'm sorry to say, as a dedicated churchgoer. If they would only preach on the right subject - the Word of God - they would have people wanting more and more and more....

It is just like sitting in your lounge-room listening to you. Well... as I imagine it would be in your lounge-room. Darlene - Not true, I said 'he'! And for all my Toyboys, worry not, it was a new blog to me, not one I will visit very often. Betty - Did he move or was he moved? Jean - 'A picture paints a thousand words' or so the Newspaper Editors say. WWW - k tks! :D <strong>I am not saying long posts are bad.</strong> Some are very interesting and well set out making them accessible & interesting to the reader. The one I read the other day was one long continuous paragraph, as dull as ditch water. Previous posts were similar and there were no comments. I don't even remember now how I landed there in the first place. Baino - You write as you speak. It is just like sitting in your lounge-room listening to you.

Long posts don't bother me either if they're interesting. Some are just self indulgent prose and I lose patience and skim. I'm sure some of my commenters do to when I'm on a roll. I'm a wordsmith so tend to waffle a bit. Then other times, I'll just say it with pictures. Takes longer to post but the message is there. Horses for courses I say. Diversity is King.
