Irony.

That's kind of why I can often be heard talking to myself, I'm the only one who listens to me.

I follow several blogs but these days social media has replaced most blogs. Most blogs these days are crammed full of advertising, clickbait and repeated articles. I find social media more entertaining.

I guess my dog could start a blog.
Good evening. Here is my hobby. ŹZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

That would sound remarkably similar to a blog from my cats.

I wish my mother would read books in English. She's now almost up to date with all her favourite series and her new favourite series she tried on my recommendation. After that I haven't got anything new for her to try. I know enough authors and series she would like, but they aren't translated into Dutch.

Are you being deliberately ironic, speaking of irony? OMG, I cannot stand all the adverts and clickbait, etc., all over Twiddle and Facebook, etc.! I mean, yes, sure, blogs are monetized, but ALL Twaddle is, is adverts, (and for books, jaaaayyyyyyyysus!) and Facebook is even worse, in many ways.

Man.

Woot. Finally have working a/c again. It's been a few years and frankly, cash was right and I was afraid of what it might cost.

Jammed fan and burnt out motor in the heat exchange.

Relief

Irony, Cins, irony. It's the opposite of wrinkly.

What is an irony? I thought it was something for quiltys.
No worries hun. I caught it was just being literal.

I am a social media iconoclast, don't tweet, don't Face, never (My)Spaced out.

A co-worker insists that Reddit is the best thing since spice racks. I don't understand the attraction of spending hours sifting through troll comments and "me too" comments and "plus one" comments and obscene comments to *possibly* find a lonely sentence worth reading. But she is young, and apparently does not feel her time is valuable --- and has millions (billions?) of co-believers.

And as for what texting has done to the English language!!! I am gob-smacked at some text-speak phrases I have seen popping up in Formal Memoranda!

Does texting in other languages wreak the same sort of havoc?
