21,000 posts as of today. I'm getting blisters typing all these posts!

Raising hell, as always.

Sorry I don't frequent the lounge, or I'd spend all day (and night) here.

That's because I care too much , not because I don't, and especially since I used to beat my family at trivia and jeopardy.
Toooooo tempting.

THANKS TO EVERYONE who rec's my posts.
They reward my hard work copying and formatting long emails I receive, provocative and techie posts I find elsewhere and WACKY MEMES and GRAPHICS I create.

My 21,000th post was in the Veteran's forum, advising vets on what services are open for business and which aren't during the shutdown (less the idiot lies in one boilerplate paragraph)

I create. I curate. I berate!
For the best audience anywhere,
You're great.

"The phrase "I've got blisters on my fingers!" is not a lyric in a Beatles song, but rather an exclamation by Ringo Starr during the recording of their 1968 song "Helter Skelter". Starr was drumming so intensely that his hands became injured, and his frustrated remark was captured and can be heard in the final version of the song on The White Album."

I just played the song on my turntable (I have 2 White Albums) and I still remember all the lyrics, now my neighbors know them as well since I play my records on #11. I became a huge Beatles fan in 1978 and all of their songs are burned into my brain (that's a food thing).
