I have a penchant for pendantry and a phondness of phlyarology. More can be gleaned from perusing this blog, should you wish to. It probably reveals more about me than I care to divulge, but c’est la vie. [2]

    Hello and thank you for visiting Dreamwalker’s Sanctuary, We all sure do have an opinion and I salute anyone who puts their own personal views forward, We are all of individuals whose voices count.. If we just went along with the Mass’s we would be nothing but bleating sheep.. and Im sure Im doing our fourlegged friends and injustice here also, as at times Im sure even our fourlegged friends have more courage than some who agree with the most popular just so they can be in the in-crowds…
    I enjoyed my little visit and look around at your topics and Keep being bringing your own bright ideas forward… And promoting subjects that need our attention in the environment… For we are the ones who are here to change our world…
    Blessings

    Thanks for visiting my site and I’ve finally got around to stopping by yours. Just another asshole with an opinion about shit! After all – if you are Poop John the First of the Church of the Holy Shitters you have no choice but to give it the attention it deserves. Most of my opinions definitely stink!

          I’m intrigued a) why you feel the need to move from WordPress and b) why your site says at the foot ‘Holy Shitters is proudly powered by WordPress.org’ if you’ve, um, moved from WordPress. Questions, questions, never enough answers…

            There is a difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org My web designer said that for my needs I would be better off going with an outside hosting service that interfaces with wordpress. I’ll learn more about this on Friday. Right now it’s all kind of confusing to me. I’m still with wordpress. My dashboard looks the same as before. I’m just paying to have my site hosted by an outside service. It apparently gives me more options and design choices. My learning curve with this stuff is pretty steep and keeps getting steeper. Or I’m just getting into the Crap deeper.

    Hi there- seem to be crossing paths on other blogs- the ‘steady state economy’ has grabbed my interest, can you suggest some primer reading? And would you be up for a UK based collaboration into future UK options? My interest is as much what the plebs do [I use the word in the context of the decline of Rome- bread and circuses]. oh and I hope you are well- weather related issues with me- 1000s of blue berries delivered and I cant get down the snow laden track to the smallholding [north facing] I want the spring!

        I wanted to say thanks for it too (I finally got around to watching it). I didn’t find it particularly depressing but perhaps that’s because I have a rather low opinion of people and where we’re headed (it’s hard to think what could lower my opinion much more at this point). It seems like a nice idea, if it were fleshed out a bit and implemented – but I very much doubt it is the future that we will come to…

    Hello. I discovered your blog while reading another tonight; I thought one of your comments was quite well expressed, so I came over to see what your blog is about (and I’m glad that I did). I like the “pendantry” coinage (I have a habit of playing with words as well). It’s also really nice to see others fighting the inane forces of AGW denialism, as I feel my family and I try to do through our actions, our example, and our words.

      Not a problem, Paul. The wonders of modern technology, eh? I’ll drop you a quick email, but admit to being a little puzzled: if I go to the WordPress ‘Comments’ section, I can see your email address under your name, beside your comments. I hate to assume that you should be able to do the same for me at your end, because although I know you too are using WordPress.com, perhaps your setup is different from mine. (WYSINWOG — an acronym I believe I coined many moons ago, but one about which I’ve no doubt many others will believe the same!)

    Dear Colin,

    Having read some of your posts and judging by the number of posts that you have published, I can see that you have been very productive over the first quarter of 2021!

    Thank you for wishing me “Joyeuses Pâques! 🙂” I hope that you have had a lovely Easter weekend! Perhaps you have taken the chance to make some lovely things or read some unusual articles.

    Speaking of what I have got myself occupied in, I have stayed up till very late in the last few days to complete some new graphics and eye-catching animations plus more pertinent information for my special Easter post entitled “Easter in Modern Multimedia Perspective“, which you can easily find at the Home Page of my blog, as it is currently the Featured Post. You can also access the post directly at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/easter-in-modern-multimedia-perspective/

    You are very welcome to peruse the extended and updated post at your earliest convenience. I would be delighted if you could kindly submit your feedback to my said post, as I am very keen and curious to know what you think or make of it.

    May you find April very much to your liking and highly conducive to your writing, reading, thinking and blogging about whatever topics that take your intellectual fancy or tickle your spiritual delight!

    Yours sincerely,
    ჱܓSoundEagle🦅

    Okay enough of that, I’m thinking it will make a nice change for me calling into your place, reading and commenting has become more elusive over the years so I’m sure that it will enhance my visits to WordPress, well that’s the theory anyway. Have a cool Tuesday Pendantry :)
