Yup, I am a talker alright, can't help it sometimes.
Working on becoming a better listener, I find when I listen, I learn more.
Hey, nobody's perfect. šŸ˜

My mother used to always end our phone calls with ā€œok, Iā€™ve probably talked your ear off now.ā€ Man.. What Iā€™d give to hear her say that again.

I wrote a song about it once, it starts like this:
Iā€™d like to talk to you again.
Just one more time is all Iā€™m askin.
Iā€™d grab hold of both of your hands.
Like I never held hands with anyone before.
Iā€™d listen when you talk.
You could finish every sentence.
Id grab hold of both of your hands.
If I could just talk to you just once more.

(Hmm.. didnā€™t know Iā€™d be sharing those lyrics with you or anyone, ever, for that matter..... this just got weird)

Talk less, listen more, genius! šŸ‘šŸæ @farm-mom, do you have any hearing tricks? I donā€™t have any issues listening, I just have a tough time hearing other people.

When I say things like mom it reminds me to remember weā€™re all human on this platform. Things like leading the platform in downvotes and missing long time friends gets heavyā€”even for a blogger. Just because Iā€™m behind this illuminated screen doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m free from emotions.

Thanks for always being nice to me @farm-mom. God bless the Jurgā€™s.

(I had no idea this response was going to do all of this)


That was a nice song you wrote to your mom. I miss my mom so much and it's over 11 years since she's been gone. But I talk to her all the time, especially when I am down about something. Believe it or not, I always feel better, even though I don't actually hear her voice, I feel her energy.
Now, I wish you and the sweed would just give each other a hug and move on. And stop jamming up my space....hehehehePhew!! @dandays you must have big lungs or should I say big and fast fingers cuz you sure can type out loooonnnngggg responses.šŸ˜

Moms will always live in our hearts, even when long gone @dandays. I think of both of my parents every day.

Just because Iā€™m behind this illuminated screen doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m free from emotions.
I hear you! Klenex, tissues and all of the other s--t!

Nice. A Sweed sighting. Well, ima respond then cuz you hear me (i knew young would šŸ˜‰). Get comfortable, I just proof read this thingā€”itā€™s a long one. šŸ‘šŸæ

I tend to get extra vocal extra often. I think it has a lot to do with being an only child and a bastard, impossible for you to imagine being that. Like me imagining what it would be like to have children or siblings, itā€™s just not something Iā€™m capable of doing. So, yeah, Iā€™ve been known to scream from the roof tops. Iā€™m glad it got your attention. I never meant to upset you man, everything I say here is one of two things, real life ish with a realistic point of view or real life ish with a satire point of view. However, thereā€™s a double edged sword in there, with two completely different viewpoints and the lack of body language, hand gestures, facial expressions, etc, it can be difficult to differentiate between the two. I never meant ill-will sir, I only want to make you think, make you laugh, or both.

That message I left the farm mom grabbed at me. Things like burying the only parent I ever knew or burying my best friend when he ODā€™d.. dude! Man, :this just in: the very first hosts we had in Costa Rica, Bruce and Ron.. AWESOME guys!! F man! Great people, Ron just diedā€”danget! Barely 50. Too kind of a man, he was so kind.

This response is already a ridiculous length. This must be months of neglect. <ā€” laugh, thatā€™s supposed to make you laugh. That Kleenex one was supposed to make you laugh, too, I hope it did. I hope you were firing one up and thought about it like ā€œthat frikkin dan days!!ā€ <ā€” laugh. Alright, Iā€™ll quit queueing the laughter. Youā€™re a grown man, laugh at your leisure, read my stuff or donā€™t, itā€™s all good, Sweed. Just know I think you and the farm mom are genuine, youā€™re both in our prayers, and I respect the example you lead with.

I think I already said how long this was once??

Oh!!! Weā€™re going to Israel! I havenā€™t been this excited about many things in a very long time. See where Jesus was baptized, where he was born, the Sea of Galilee where he walked on water, the streets of Jerusalem where he carried the crossā€”Iā€™m so excited. Can you tell? Sorry.. sidetracked. Israel does that to me I guessā€”ā€œguilty!ā€

Three times. This is the third time Iā€™ve mentioned the ridiculous length of this response.

Iā€™ve been having a tough time doing things on this platform lately. Not sure if itā€™s wearing on me or what. Not sure if Iā€™m not happy with the activity thatā€™s going on or what. Maybe itā€™s cuz my wife skipped out on the platform. Not sure anymore. I think maybe Iā€™ll just go in spurts or something. I see other authors getting the respect they finally deserve, youā€™re one of them actually, congratulations. Iā€™m not sure if maybe I should slow down or just try another platform or what. I think the only thing Iā€™m sure about is I canā€™t shut up right now. Ok, Iā€™m really gonna try to quit.

Donā€™t use Kleenex for a number two, I donā€™t recommend that, letā€™s just say youā€™ll be washing your hands with a little more intensity. Kleenex is good for small spills, too, like coffee. Squish a bug, Kleenex is good for those too. I wonā€™t trade em for engaging with you though dude, thatā€™s a sh- - ty deal..... I know I said I wouldnā€™t do it again but youā€™re supposed to laugh at that sh- -ty deal part.

I Hope this clears some air for you. Thanks for dropping by, thatā€™s good enough. People that downvote me, All 25 of the punks per post, unlike anyone else Iā€™ve seen on this wholeā€™fa king platform.... what a joke. Anyhow, those people, I wish theyā€™d leave me alone. What Iā€™m trying to say is, youā€™re not one of those people.

(or not). God bless you and yours all the same, wether I see you around or not.Enjoy your weekend @thebigsweed. See you around
