What a trial. Sorry I missed this before. I was at the beach. ~grin~ That vacation sure went fast.

I felt numb, and my brain had gone blank. <br /><br />Hopefully, I'm getting back on track. I miss seeing everyone else's posts, too. <br /><br />~MaryMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-6494324395934810892017-09-22T11:55:24.581-04:002017-09-22T11:55:24.581-04:00I think you nailed the primary reasons for the low...I think you nailed the primary reasons for the low turn-outs of late. I've been able to get psyched up enough to vote on Battles, but not much else in the realm of commenting or posting. I keep intending to post more and then I just lose my motivation. I'll still be on my 2 Battle a month schedule at least in October and then I'll see what I should do after that.<br /><br />Maybe I'll do more reading or watching TV. Somehow lately blogging has been making me feel kind of sad--all social media has been depressing me to some extent.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-59122586077476162862017-09-21T13:01:14.044-04:002017-09-21T13:01:14.044-04:00Stephen, darlin'
My personal thoughts on the ...Stephen, darlin'<br /><br />My personal thoughts on the issue is that this is just a busy time of year for many people. Students are getting settled back into school, and let's not forget that we've had some fairly horrific events lately - The west was on fire, the south was pounded by rain and hurricanes, and there have been some devastating earthquakes. I just think that people are having other priorities at the moment. Hopefully they will come back soon. <br /><br />I prefer the once a month battle to the twice a month, as it gives my brain a moment to think - plus it allows me to come up with other types of posts. Of course, I do miss all of our regulars that we once had. <br /><br />I appreciate you taking the time to stop in to say hello. <br /><br />~MaryMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-39954025936266662602017-09-21T12:33:49.170-04:002017-09-21T12:33:49.170-04:00MMQE ~

Mine was lower than usual, too, but not Single-Digits Low. <br /><br />I'm not so sure this Once-A-Month BOTB schedule was such a great idea after all. It seems it's affected the momentum and enthusiasm. I think across-the-board the voter turnouts have been down ever since we went to just the 15th. (Not that I'm going back to twice a month, though.)<br /><br />However, it could also just be that blogging seems to be in decline generally. Maybe it was a fad that is now fading, being replaced by YouTube channels for the Millennials who never learned how to read and think.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T.

Seems I was young and naive back in those days.
