I miss two of my dearest WdC friends. Both seem to have simply vanished. Can anyone put my mind at ease about them? I don't need to know anything except whether they're safe and doing ok. They are:

IndigoHeart Author IconMail Icon

and

NewIncarnation Author IconMail Icon

         I've had no word from either for quite a while.

I think Angie still dips in from time to time. The change of handle to NewIncarnation must have been fairly recent—when I saw the new name turn up in my favourites list, I had no idea who it was until I checked the portfolio.
Humble Poet PNG - who? Author Icon - I can't say anything about the black case.
The yellow case is alive.
That's the best I can do.
Annette Author Icon - Thank you. I greatly appreciate your comment. I tend to become very attached to people online as well as off. Being PNG, I don't make friends easily. Maybe that's why my friends mean so much to me. If a friend leaves, I'm fine, but if a friend 'disappears', I worry.
I discovered my own Stanley Hotel. I disappear into it whenever I can and set myself to writing. It's dark in here, but not actually scary. I feel like I'm doing a little bit of decent writing and maybe I'll look back in a few weeks and see that my feelings were correct. Stranger things have happened.
Cars are required to have brake lights to alert others to sudden stops and avoid accidents. Why are cats not so equipped?

Hmmm...when I meet the thousand pound house cat, that'll be the first thing I ask it.*Rolling*
Spud Author Icon - Our friend has a house cat and a semi-house cat (comes in occasionally). Her house cat, and many others I've known, have an uncanny ability to go from a normal walk or a trot to lying down yawning in less than .005 seconds. This house cat obviously loves our friend and we easily understand why, because we love Dianne too. She makes it easy. So. Her house cat follows her around constantly --- from in front --- and frequently practices fire safety: stop/drop/roll!! Our friend has fallen more than once. She says she "hates that cat," but if you could see the way she cares for both of her cats and the fine, expensive foods she buys for them...!

Can you share some of those answers from Soil please
"People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do."

I've run across that quote and variations of it several times over the years, but I don't recall where or who said/wrote it.

In my experience, people often can't believe what I do ...
Another variation:

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Even in biblical times, there were scribes who wrote strictly for the prophets.

Which they often published in a popular magazine of the day: Seer's Catalogue.
In the wrong hands, the internet is a dangerous weapon. In the right hands, it's a life-giving and life-saving elixir.

"Did confuscious say that?"
"No. I say that."
"There are no good lackadaisical writers. There are no great part-time writers. We either give our all to our writing and give it all the time or we are not truly writers, we're just scribblers with an exaggerated sense of importance. Good writing requires constant improvement, and improvement requires constant effort."

Damon Nomad Author Icon - What he said.

         A man complained because his cell was on the tenth floor of the prison. It took him so long to walk down to the cafeteria that he was often late for meals and sometimes missed them entirely.
         Meanwhile, the second floor was just a huge area where the state and county prison boards convened.
         Finally, the warden acted on the man's complaints. He let the con descend to the level of the politicians.

I was hooked, but felt it was a bit con-descending *Laugh*
Ian, Ria, Tia, and Gia all had on identical diphthongs.

As you see, my best writing comes from my unconsciousness.

A young couple wanted a baby but were having trouble conceiving. They started fertility treatment, but their neighbor's nightly tuba playing kept spoiling things. They asked the man nicely, several times, to stop playing his tuba at night. Eventually, they sued him. It's a shame that the only way to resolve the issue was through tuba litigation.

Also got both these posts. *Laugh*
My newsfeed post keeps disappearing as soon as I hit 'Post'. What am I doing wrong?

All apologies, folks for my newsfeed repeats. I finally figured out what was wrong. Sort of of. I think.
Humble Poet PNG - who? Author Icon - We got both your newsfeed posts. *Laugh*
Why do my newsfeed posts keep disappearing as soon as I hit 'Post'?
