I mean, granted, I work with people a lot older than me, and we talk about different stuff, mostly school stuff, but they are neither interested in my life and thoughts, nor am I interested in theirs. However, even though I know that you are a little bit older than me, it doesn't affect what I think of what you write, b/c it's an open space, and I can come and go as I please. I think it's kinda cool, and I just wish I could be as interested in what my cohorts that I actually get to see have to say! As long as we aren't living the same lives, though, we are too wrapped up to pay attention! Does that make any sense, or did I just ramble for nothing?Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369978641581682398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1108964439725718272005-02-21T00:40:00.000-05:002005-02-21T00:40:00.000-05:00You're not old enough, but you remind me of my dad...You're not old enough, but you remind me of my dad, who died when he was 47. He might have been the type of blogger you are, had his life been happier and longer. <br /><br />I look at strangers in real life differently now, since I started blogging. Their internal lives, the ones we glimpse in blogs, seem more real to me. <br /><br />Anyway, great post.Melodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05705323208228362504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1108944656006024282005-02-20T19:10:00.000-05:002005-02-20T19:10:00.000-05:00Well perhaps its because I live with my MHF (middl...Well perhaps its because I live with my MHF (middle-age husband fart) that I relate so well to you. Or maybe it is just because you are interesting, nothing to do with farts at all.<br /><br />I love this blogging world because you feel like the people you communicate with are genuine friends, you are priveledged to read other personal musings, and it is international which I love.LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451484619921503215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1108942000325983722005-02-20T18:26:00.000-05:002005-02-20T18:26:00.000-05:00As near as I can figure, the blogs I return to see...As near as I can figure, the blogs I return to seem to be 40+. Still got some tread on the tires, but know where they are going. But you are right, there aren't many 55+. I think I'm leading the pack. But then, I don't know many with 6 blogs either. One who visits and comments at my blog is older than me.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502895616873273470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1108935535855377492005-02-20T16:38:00.000-05:002005-02-20T16:38:00.000-05:00Not Me!!!!Not Me!!!!Cuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015697402688623317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1108927957830063112005-02-20T14:32:00.000-05:002005-02-20T14:32:00.000-05:00I think I just read blogs because I'm interested i...I think I just read blogs because I'm interested in other people. I'd like to expand my horizon and not only limit myself to the Dutch people.<br />Other people, other cultures, other countries around the world, it's all just very interesting!<br /><br />And why do I read your blog? I believe it's just like Karla said... Whether the blogger is my age or an BOF, doesn't really matter. I read the blogs I read because somehow I just recognize a piece of myself in the stories.<br /><br />And I agree with you, the 'sort of relationships' we all keep is just awesome and would simply not be possible without this wonderful invention called the Internet.<br /><br />Keep blogging, Anvilcloud!<br /><br />DFYF (Dutch Fairly Young Fart)Ionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350563607117606726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1108921996465840342005-02-20T12:53:00.000-05:002005-02-20T12:53:00.000-05:00What a lovely blog.

I actually started writing a blog about you and Cuppa back in December when I first stumbled upon your blogs, but I was never quite able to get the words out right to explain why I loved reading what the both of you had to say.<br /><br />I think the thing that strikes me the most, just like you observed, is the commonality in each of us.<br /><br />It is through that commonality that this PYF (Pregnant Young Fart) would bother to read the ravings of a BOF. :)<br /><br />I can read about your (or Cuppa’s) daily adventures, tales, memories, musings or what have you, and see a small piece of myself and my husband. Sometimes I see us at our current age, sometimes I can envision a part of us through your writings when we too are retired. In any case, I find it amazing how life really does come full circle, and how much the same we really are all at some level or another.karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483505184799130550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1108919117958112442005-02-20T12:05:00.000-05:002005-02-20T12:05:00.000-05:00You have maybe a decade on me, but that isn't a lo...You have maybe a decade on me, but that isn't a lot! I, too, have two grown children (males, in their 20s), I am a "recovering" teacher, and I have been happily married for 25 years.swamp4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500364141244115390noreply@blogger.com
