One of these days I’ll get it right. Looks like I messed up again. It’s that little squiggly thing (the @) that I’m still learning. I was never on Twi(x). Live and learn. Thanks again.🙏🫶

I love that you're calling it Twi(x)! That's fabulous. What about the "@" troubles you?

Expand full comment

Nan, I seriously did not know that using the @ symbol was a way of “tagging” someone to get their attention until I came to Substack. I had never used Twi(X) or Instagram, and avoid Facebook other than to follow a few friends and relatives. Getting banned from a Norwegian-food group because I disparaged a certain “delicacy” as “fish jello” was my final shaming. Now I have to go write a post about it. Thanks for the inspiration! (You have no idea how much rich material is in the Minnesota motherlode). All I can say is, I absolutely love Substack, you are the best, and we’ll talk soon.💕

Oh my god what have I done. Did I just disappear that whole thread? I’m getting a 404 message. WTF?

Yeah, I don't think so! You're the best. You probably just entered a link incorrectly or typed something extra into your browser bar. But I love hearing you say/write "WTF"!

"There’s something sort of thrilling each time I get an email from Stripe saying they’re going to deposit $4.67 in my checking account on Tuesday. Or $14.70 on a Friday. I feel so seen, so cared about, and sooooo wealthy!" Well, now I feel seen.

I meant it when I wrote it. I get all excited, and then I giggle. Because it's so funny, and so real. This is really the first experience I've had getting paid for my writing. It's big for me.

I'll be here when you're ready! Are you totally excited about your new declaration of freedom? I feel a little like I'm going in the same direction. Identifying the most important things, and going after them! Letting myself live as a creative, for once and for all!

Thanks, Katrina! I'm not exactly sure what this is going to morph into. What I do know, because even though I have some tech expertise, I don't consider myself an authentic techie, is that I'm committed to sharing myself, having fun here, and sleuthing and figuring out ways to work with what Substack provides. But, mostly, I'm going to bring me to this. Hopefully people will enjoy it, and derive some value, and retain me for services if they need some help! Thanks for the comment! xo
