_{That title's misleading}

_{Maiden / Married}

We didn't have issues sending or receiving the first few months. Seems like right around replacement time for the annual calendar we stopped receiving mail, Amazon was first to deny us. Several friends of ours between California and England sent pictures of their returned Christmas cards—return to sender.

Nothing changed inside the mailbox, it's still the same handwritten note placed by the same postman back in October. We just went back and forth with the postal service explaining 'we didn't put that note inside the box, you did, since when does the name matter anyway?' Something happened during that 2020 / 2021 transition but at least we got our postal situation figured out.

But I sent a Thank You card! Not surprised you didn't get it, at least now we know why. Stranger things have happened. It was just a two-sided flip card, not the kind you open—simple front and back.

_{No Filters}

It was really cool, you would've loved the original—spent a lot of time on it. The landscape had motion and the text changed colors (and colours). It changed based on your geographic location, bet you never seen a Thank You card do that! If you're in Belgium, it would've been brown, yellow, and red. Greenland, red and white. Ukraine, blue and gold and so on.

My American comrades tuned in are:

Greenland's flag is red and white?? 🤔

They'll take my word for it, though, we're indoctrinated to accept shit at face value. That's why I, @dandays - The Luckiest Guy I Know had to look up those flags just now. You see, we here in The Land Of The Free can rattle off useless information such as Ohio's state bird, flower in Indiana, governor of California, judicial proceedings, the distance between L.A and Hawaii but don't ask us shit about geography or country flags! And don't expect us to know more than two oceans, either (Pacific, Atlantic). That wasn't included at face value in our National Curriculum.

_{This is all the mailman's fault}

Had he just delivered the dang things, I wouldn't have to admit I can't remember what they said and this whole bla bla bla mailman bla bla bla bla bla Greenland bla stall tactic isn't necessary. But he didn't. I have a rough idea what it said, same message regardless. You ever hear someone say irregardless but they're serious when they say it so you know they don't know irregardless isn't a word? Mailman!! Anywho, it went something like this:

Thank You!

The End

_Kidding

I typed "the end funny, gif" in my browser and the above homicide was amongst the first choices—had to show you. This next one's pretty funny, not sure why they're on the same landing page. Check out the gate keeper open and shut the gate for wanna-be Marvel character, Captain Non-Streaking Man.

_{Behind Closed Doors}

Thanks for keeping an eye on me! Thanks for supporting my content. The past few months have been a hell of a ride, exciting, ya'all really know how to boost a guy's confidence. You've sent about 1/2 of my recent articles to the hot section and three (3) of those made Trending. There's a word for it—convivial. Really makes me second guess my content.

_{They're really counting on me}

As far as the content itself, that changes. One day it's something, next it's something else, next is I have no clue until I get there. What you can count on is entertainment and a clean blog. I edit these things to death, I'll never admit how much time I spend doing that. You can count on original content, all the photos and artwork you see are mine unless specified otherwise—everything's authentic from my brain to yours. You can count on responses, too, I won't leave you hangin in the comment section. Engagement has been incredible! My last one has over 100 comments. I'm enjoying getting to know each of you.

You make it exciting to check my Ecency app in the morning. Coffee and a banana, I call bananas candy—chillin. Feet up, a pair of triple wick candles burning and the turbine sound of hot air forced through the vents on the ceiling cuz it's freezing in Tennessee!

Coinmarketcap, CoinDesk, verify my portfolio's still in the green—perfect! What?! Of course it's green, why it's never in the red.

_{Ok, maybe once}

About the time I pour that second cup, I know what's next—assume the position. Open up Ecency, watch that Greek lookin, backwards number three lookin thing do its spin move upon opening and tada!!

_{Notifications}

Didn't used to be that way! I can get used to this. Before we get too lengthy again I'll bring this to a close—enough ass kissin. I made my point, same time same place tomorrow? I appreciate you appreciating my content, that's the point I've been trying to make this whole time, damn mailman. Plenty more headed your way—I'm not goin anywhere.

_{PS - Sorry about the C-word on the last one, ladies. I did everything I could think of to talk myself out of it, threw everything I had at me, I just wouldn't listen to myself. "Ladybug! Ladybug!" See what I mean? It's still a snake.}
