Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
I guess that's why there are more guinea pigs in pet stores than chinchillas. Those are real good reasons why chinchillas make better mittens than pets.
I’ve never thought about that word before. I always considered it as a colloquialism almost. I think it’s a folksy way of acknowledging and recognizing symbolically. However, I could see the term being monetized or established in an incentive system. Interesting questions!
The new badge approach is awesome. It’s a little incentive (hehe) for me to write more. I love it.
Guinea Pigs are to kudos like hedgehogs are to heebie-jeebies; kudos are soft, furry, warm and cuddly, while heebie-jeebies tend to be more prickly. Both, however, are very timid and seldom seen.
I had one many years ago but lost it during a move. Perhaps I ought to have another look for it, but that'll have to wait until I have another round tuit.
