*waves tiredly*

Hi, non-mutuals. There's been a small outbreak of new followers lately, and tbh this probably applies going back YEARS:

I'm scrabbling to keep up with my Life At Large, and DW as a slow-paced internet wossname falls by the wayside easily. I'm rarely reading my circle, and hence, have not got around to figuring out who might be interesting to follow.

If I do post, it's often by email, without interacting with the site proper (and locked by default). I HAVE been steadily scraping more brain together to post and/or read here, but "more" is from a very low ebb.

Please infer no personal slight (ditto mutuals with whom I have failed to interact; comments gone unanswered; etc). There are actually fairly good odds of new people getting comment responses if you pop in to a public post. Old pals... oh how I wish for an "acknowledge" button. You've either said something that I'd hit "like" on, or something which made me think Too Much and I don't spend enough time at my personal computer anymore to mull it over and formulate a proper response.

Please accept a consolation kitten, big mad about being deemed "too clever" to be allowed on the balcony:

Kitten!

This is, of course, all perfectly okay and valid usage of DW. I do appreciate your posts! I do a lot of streamlined reading of DW when I have a spare moment, but my usage is patchy and unreliable, and I don't always have much in way of reply. It does not mean I have any less affection for those who share here, though.

Kittens are always welcome. Try not to stress, seems like everyone I know is either running off fumes or can't get going in the first place

So very kitten.

I understand why DW doesn't have an app, and I like it that way. But hence, given that my laptop computer is no longer my primary device, I simply engage less here. I might psot by email, but that's not quite the same. I have to offeset that deliberately, and UGH.
