@GottaLaff Almost impossible to believe that people ignored VIA, meaning by way of or from. I hope most of them were just concerned with your health. Your coverage of significant events is exemplary. Thanks so much for your efforts.
@GottaLaff Thank you for the helpful reading. I’m grateful. A suggestion: Via might get overlooked less if it is not followed by a blank line. Colons hug two ideas together neatly in the terse space we have. And emoji can be a superb way to dress up Via 📢
@GottaLaff that’s fair. And I agree it should not be a thing. A percentage of every audience will always get it wrong. And designing for that audience does a disservice for the overall readership. I appreciate your efforts always yet rarely reply because that just adds work.
@bobdel It's never work to see a reply. I appreciate every single one. I can't always answer though.
As for this issue, this is the only time it's been this bad. One other time, there was a mild misunderstanding. So I got annoyed because, after literally years of my using the same format, and after nearly every one of my Mastodon posts using it, suddenly people are confused? That irked me.
@GottaLaff as far as I’m concerned, you are an unpaid & generous public servant. You deserve all the praise for your tireless reporting. I’ve never misunderstood the wording of your posts. Ignore those people who complain about anything you do. I have always been amazed at how you do it! Keep on
Okay that’s new news, so I’m not false-alarming and I’ll find the post. Mom notably had C Diff. four years ago, and sends her love and we both enclose hugs and courage. She weathered it in due time but needed care. She says it’s just terrible but that will be obvious. I’m assuming you’re the victim. I’ll look for news. Oy. You poor girl. ♥️♥️ It’s like the atmospheric river ‘fire hose’ energy is a metaphor — life on full blast! Aack.
@SherBeareth I got it last summer, no idea how because I wasn’t on antibiotics, nor did I go anywhere where I would have picked it up. It was a mild case.
This time I had to take antibiotics for some dental work, but took another anti to anti the anti. It worked… for about a week after. Then, pow. So I’m now on a very long dose of anti anti, 3 weeks. I sure hope that does the trick. Again, a milder case, so I’ve been hugely lucky. @rabbijill
I was staying with her at the time so understand the rattled! (Very Canadian reaction. Chill. ) Mom has also had colitis so it wasn’t all new but all bad, she relays. Funny lady. I’m so terribly sorry. 😢 Egregiously horrible timing. Slowing down for a wrinkle of time won’t hurt. I envision you live blogging the hell out of any hospital room, however. Buddha forfend.
@GottaLaff Oh let’s all hope it stays mild! Thank you for the background— it’s very worrying stuff. Here’s to hoping you feel better STAT. Scritches to Hammy the On-Duty-Doodle. @rabbijill
AbFab to have a rabbi here. 🤘🏻 Any thing could occur at any given minute it appears.
