susandennisI added some new people to my friends list today so if you landed here because you discovered this and wonder why, I have no good reasons.
Periodically, I do a search for new journals. They have to be mostly unlocked (or I won't know if I want to add them or not). They have to be in English (sadly, this is the only language I know). Generally I use ages 50-80 as my only search terms. I have nothing against younger people but, often, nothing in common with them either. I weed out those who make heavy use of memes (not my cuppa). And those who clearly write for a specific audience that isn't me (heavy use of initials for names with no explanation of who is who - I'm guessing DH does not mean Dick Head but that's how I read it so my mileage varies).
EDITED Later: The above guidelines are what I use when I look at adding journals. I don't use them for the ones I already have. Although I will always read Dick Head when I see DH no matter who writes it.
Also for those I add, I read for a while and may well drop for many of the same silly reasons.
Just so you know. I now return you to your regular programming.
