Still lonely though. Going through two hurricanes alone has been interesting. I've been luckier than most, however. I appreciate your support.

it's OK to be disliked by some folks and liked by some folks.

Worth the time, it's not "War and Peace". Dull people like me thank you, I'm not blessed to be interesting like some are, but I'm always interested in finding out about people who are. Others, not so much. But keep it up, sharing is *your* purpose for all of us.

And I find that interesting.

Not because I am an uninteresting person (I satisfy all of those ideas listed). It is because very uninteresting people tend to cling to me, because I am.
