I have been, in no particular order, a laborer, a surveyor, a computer operator, a dump truck driver, an airman, a retail sales clerk, an archaeologist. a cartographer, a student, and a professor. Now I’m retired and do what I damn well please. Which, strangely enough, involves quite a bit of the foregoing.

Hi Mikels, I wanted to thank you for the follow!
My blog is a bilingual one. So you may get links to poems in English as well as to some in Italian… Pictures, on the other hand, have no language barriers 😉
Keep up the good work.
Anna
Thanks. Problema non c’e. I read Italian passably well.
Mikels: Just tuned in from another blog, greetings from Madison, WI USA, home to your newest follower! Check out my blog and join the fun if you like at http://www.thatssojacob.wordpress.com 🙂 thanks, have a great day!
Thanks, I will.
Hi, I have nominated you for the Liebster Award, congratulations. Your blog has some fine content that is always thought provoking to read. Here’s the link for the nomination: http://rainbowsutra.wordpress.com/2014/11/07/liebster-award/
Thanks, I’m honored, but I don’t think I qualify. The site specifies blogs with 200 or fewer followers, and mine is listed with twice that many, although I’m sure some (many?) of those have just been to busy to bother unfollowing. Thank you again. I really appreciate it.
It’s my pleasure. I really like the way you write, especially the topics that you bring to surface.
Be assured that you do qualify for this. I was also skeptical about this rule of ‘less than 200 followers’, because I too have more than 200 and so does the individual who nominated me. I did some checking around and learnt that it doesn’t matter how many followers one has.
I’ve been reading up on this award, and thinking about it, and I’ve decided that, although I deeply appreciate the sentiment behind your nomination, I can’t continue the chain. It looks like many of your other nominations fit the criteria much better than my blog, since the award was created to spotlight new blogs with few followers. Thanks again.
I totally respect your decision. Thanks!
