Okay. No money. How about SEX? With a little money. Or TRAVEL? And a bit o cash. FOOD. And moolah. GIRLS with pretty tuchises. And a few dinero. Oh crap. Fuggedaboudit. Ain't nuthin' in this world that works without MONEY. Money money money money, money money money money makes the world go 'round. What's that? Your birthday coming up soon you say? And what, pray tell, do you really really want? Hey?

lol, Benjamin. I considered making a joke about your name and this comment. All about the Benjamins? lol. For my birthday? Well that's half a year away, but a chocolate cupcake would be lovely.

I think everyone is on vacation. The same stories are on my feed even after I read them. Weird.

I noticed that today, too. I guess it's just working oddly right now.

I think it was already broken, actually.

Too funny, Linda. I looked through Medium last night to see if I missed anything you posted. I'm not sure what happened, everything looked wonky for lack of a better word. I wondered if you were experimenting. ;)

lol. You know what else? I was cleaning my inbox this morning and you know what I found? An email from you. Also, my brother. Cripes. Talk about the worse delinquent sister and friend, ever! I should have used a different email with clients, I swear. Catch up weekend coming up. At least I'm not the only one seeing wonky over there. That's good to know.

Maybe it's a planetary retrograde thing. :) My homepage/algorithm has been sending me older works as well. Glad I'm not alone.

Glad to know it's not just me. I know they're changing things over there. Maybe the changes have the algorithm confused.

Lol I laughed at the Kristi line. As if people listen to me 😂😂 Kristi says stop posting bonus stories!

About lists, I've been searching for this list feature you speak of and can't find it.

I was hoping you'd see that. lol. If I'd been on the ball, I should have linked to it. Duh.

On lists, now I wonder if it's one of those things they're rolling out in waves and I got hit with the first one? Here's an article. Boy, isn't she going to be surprised by traffic coming from the substack of someone she doesn't even know. lol.

Haha! That’s funny. Although I’m seeing a lot of older stuff too. But still funny.

Sigh… yeah meta-analysis articles about how to succeed on Medium are getting very old. They must make money. Otherwise, why do it? But, let’s all move on. Lol.

Right? Some people say they make money. I've written a couple with some screencaps to show that common advice isn't true. Mine sure didn't pay. Hopefully I'll start to see recent content again. lol
