Gordie 21 going with my gut

Gordie

Here is just a little observation:

The issues with formatting posts on this board are well and truly resolved. They are over and everybody else has gone back to writing posts using punctuation. Everybody except you.

You got terribly burned by the boards misbehaving. You learned how to get around the failures. You made it work.

Now you needn't do that any more. You can go back to the old, more productive, way of writing - but you haven't. Why is that?

Is that how you are IRL too?

[Gordie]

IRL I use punctuation

I adapted to a problem and found

I like the freedom of writing differently here

And it is easier on my phone

But I am happy to change

If people find it irritating

[Vapo]

It's like reading haiku.

Athough I am all for the art of the written word, I would prefer the punctuation.

Gordie, Gordie, Gordie -- your posts are heaven! Never change the style! I feel like I am in your mind when I read your posts, and that your mind is beautiful. I read your posts with great anticipation BECAUSE of your style of writing.

I teach writing, and I would give you an A for posts.

And I imagine that IRL you are just as wonderful, direct, kind and true.

Sometimes I gotta shake my head at folks here. Everyone is a director!

[Gerda]

I often wish that the kids would be very clear about not wanting to talk to H. They share privately with me all that stuff but rarely show him. It makes it harder for him to see clearly what he is doing to them. So in a way you are lucky with that too.

I am so happy she said ILY again and said yes to the party. Awkward was good, exciting, full of anticipation when you first met and everything was new. Let it be that way now.

To me it does not seem like inching. It is a matter of months and so much keeps happening. To me it is a flood.

In honor of those who don't get your posting style, I will post a haiku about floods (real ones and yours) for you --

After the floods
a new song
for the river.
- Michael McClintock

Gordie is the best.

Thank you for appreciating my style

Apologies if it annoys some




So our couples date

Friends offered to pick us up

But w wanted us to go alone

Long drive and w talked to me the whole way

She opened up

She said I am no longer angry at you

I see now why certain things happened the way they did

And that it was not your fault

The party was fun

We both had a good time

There was no physical touch

But we did sit next to each other

Party went late into the night

And neither of us felt any urgency to leave

We were both comfortable with us being there together

[DnJ]

That is great Gordie. I am very happy for you.

Hi Gordie,

It's been awhile since I've posted but I've been following along. You're doing a great job and I'm glad to see how things are unfolding.

I like the way he writes, honestly. And this is coming from a private school, English scholarship winner who enjoys writing well, even in text messages. It's just different and to me it's cool.

Anyways Gordie, just wanted to check in on your sitch. Unfortunately I have no magic potion for you, and DB'ing is something you're far better at than I am. So here I am just saying hi and I'm glad to see things progressing, if even a little, for you.

I agree, I feel like Gordie's targeted statements are like the Oracle at Delphi blessing us with his pronouncements.
