Shout out to followers new and old

[susandennis]

I have some new LJ friends and lots of others who read all or some of this journal regularly. I generally don't 'talk' to readers. I write for the audience of me, but really do appreciate all the readers.

I've been keeping this journal since 2002 and there are more than 17,000 entries covering important things in my life and much minutia. There is a full picture of me in these entries but digging back through looking for answers is likely too painful to even contemplate.

So.

If any reader new or old ever has any question about me or what I say or what I don't say... ask. Leave a comment on any entry you like. For the sake of my own sanity, if you ask something totally off topic of the entry you use to comment, I will probably promote your question and the answer to a new entry.

Ask away.

Oh, actually I've always sort of wondered how you found me! You friended me at one point, so I friended back, but at the time I don't think we had any friends in common, so I've always been curious (and wondering if perhaps I knew you from somewhere that I was totally forgetting :-p)

I'm so sorry but I have no idea!! I find a lot of new people these days with the various friendzies. But I started following you long before those so I'm guessing that I picked you up in one of my trolls for new friends.

LJ's search used to have filters you could use for age and geography and several other criteria and I'd plug in a bunch of filters and then go 'shopping'. Or I'd do friendsoffriends and find people that way.

I'm guessing that since your entries aren't locked down, and you lived so close to me, that I just added you for fun.

You didn't forget a single thing! It was all me :)

I wondered if it might be something like that... I've actually done the same a few times in the past, making some pretty good friends that way (including a couple that I've even gone to visit in Ohio, when I was there for a convention).

I have questions! Have you never really been one for the marriage and kids thing? (I know you've been married before, but still) you seem so content with your own company and I envy that so much.

Also, how did you get into swimming? And baseball?

What age did you retire and how do you invest your money etc?

Of course feel free to not answer some or all of these, just questions that came up for me :)

What do you watch to knit by once the baseball season is over?
