THIS IS MY 2000TH POST
Big deal, I know a couple of bloggers who have reached 10,000. I console myself by claiming that they are the WordPress equivalent of Post It notes, 50/75 word posts about themes and memes and blog prompts. I like to think that mine have a little more body and content.
I recently passed my 13th WordPress anniversary – almost thirteen years of dutiful, self-imposed, three-per-week, Monday/Wednesday/ Friday blogposts. Like many other long-term bloggers, I seem to have just run out of things to write about. Even when I do come up with a new blog theme, I don’t seem to have the strength, the stamina, the concentration, the creativity, or the dedication to get it composed and posted on time. That’s why so many “Monday” A To Z Challenges slid to Wednesday – I needed two extra days to get them finished.
It may be partly because of my continued aging – it may be partly the result of major surgery – it may be partly because of ingesting multitudinous medications (The pharmacy sent me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Card.), but as Uncle Albert says, “I’m So Easy Called Away.”
I may have to do what several other long-term bloggers have done. I may have to reduce – but not eliminate, for now – the number of my posts. What the CBers used to call Sani-Bagging – reading other people’s posts and picking up their garbage, without spreading any much of my own.
So far, I seem to be able to keep up with Fibbing Fridays. Sometimes a little late, but I publish A To Z Challenges. After over ten years of providing jokes and humor, I’m having problems finding more that suits three-digit IQs. Adult humor doesn’t need to have sex in it. My output may diminish somewhat, but please keep stopping by.

Not having quality content has never stopped me, but we may differ there.

Congrats on your two thousandth!

Congratulations!!! Uploading twice per week with quality content is still pretty impressive.

Your posts make me smile and I enjoy your Fibbing Friday responses whenever they come in. My blog is only 11 years old (started in 2013) and I’ve written 18,621 posts, but then I’ve always been a windbag!
2000 is a great landmark and I’m still visiting!

I didn’t want you to feel insulted with my Post It Notes comment. I knew you’d published a lot…. but, 18,621??! 😯 Even retired, I don’t have that time or patience – not and read 30 books a year, and care for a semi-invalid wife. She found out just how many non-WordPress tasks I perform when I spent 10 days in Hospital. 😀

No worries, and certainly no offence. I’m fast approaching my 2000th Three Things Challenge post and I do post every day. We don’t have a TV so maybe that’s why I bash out so many!

We have a TV, but I can’t even blame it for my distraction. The wife listens to YouTube music to cover her tinnitus, while I read or watch YouTube shorts on the computer – when I should be thinking and composing. 😉 🙂

The quantity may reduce a bit, but this is my retirement project to the bitter end. I should compose a post titled 30. If you are reading this, Archon has left the building. 🙂

Congratulations on your stats. Your best posts, to my mind, have been your “people-watching” comments, opinions on the changing culture(s) and the comedy/absurdity of the human condition. It’s not the frequency, but the quality. I’m a fan. Be kind to yourself, Archon.

I will, if only because so many people like you are so kind to me. 😀

Your stamina is impressive – you exhaust me, almost two decades your junior, and with a better ticker! (I hope!) Keep going at whatever rate you feel comfortable. You’ll always have followers for whatever you generate, my friend.

I have sometimes wondered if you felt like I intruded on your life – stopping unannounced to check on you, sending strange pep-letters. Apparently not. It’s been good for me, too. 😀 😀
