Blogging provides many things for bloggers but one thing it should provide for all that blog is fun.
A benefit of blogging is its global reach and fortunately for me the English language is wide spread. Even downunder in Australia (land of OZ) they understand Americans (except maybe my comments). I have not travelled quite that far from home yet, but my blogging has.
There’s a favorite young woman blogger in OZ which I know some of you know. I’m referring to the blog Lilly’s Life and I must assume her name is Lilly. But one thing I’m not going to do, is assume or guess her age. I don’t know but maybe Aussies don’t age as quickly. Have you seen Olivia Newton-John lately? She’s over sixty and looking great. All that physical stuff pays off I guess.
Recently Lilly posted a short complaint about too much rain. I like to comment, so I did.
At the end of my comment I asked:“Wonder if you have an answer for something I've noticed here in the states (maybe it's worldwide) - why does the weather become a bigger part of older people's lives?”
Lilly replied: (go to her site to read the whole comment exchange)“...Older ....I am hoping that your definition of OLDER is 80 years plus not Lilly age plus.
I will ignore the fact my blog post focused entirely on the weather and attempt to answer the question as if I really was an older person (shut it...to anyone thinking something they shouldnt be). …”
She went on to give a very good answer to the question but ended it with asking my same question back.
I replied to that reply with:“.... (groveling words about age sensitive, calm down, didn’t mean to imply, blah blah.) ….P.S. Thanks for allowing me to practice pissing people off. It's a talent that I will need as I age.”
Lilly ended the exchange with one more reply:“You had me at sweet young thing - I knew then I didnt need to read any further (ha ha)”
