    I always love these even though there are often a few that require extra thinking.

    Heart - I've done one of these.
    Ape-X - Now I get it.
    Chestnut - I have a 'sort of' follower that is one of these. He is into Pauline Hickey. Has he ever been here? One of these days I'll do a post on him and Pauline. But I need to do a little more research. Mostly, I need more motivation.

    Thanks! Glad to know my efforts to improve the language are appreciated.

    Mike: I got a couple of those Pauline Hickey comments a while back. They were off-topic for the posts they were on, so I just deleted them in moderation.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning: anything supporting transgender ideology, or negative toward Brexit, or in favor of a military draft or compulsory national service, will be deleted. I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
