The internet's original social media guinea pig. I believe it is none of my business what you do to find happiness as long as you are not harming others and I […] [bridged from https://mastodon.social/@LilPecan on the fediverse by https://fed.brid.gy/ ]

Completed my federal jury questionnaire online. I already served in the state jury pool this year but it didn't last five days so I have no exemption. When it rains it pours.
I am not opposed to serving on a jury but, needless to say, I am not too enthusiastic about the federal government right […]

@TauPan Guinea pigs don't play video games because we lack opposable thumbs. It's hard enough to simply type with these prosthetic thumbs. ;)

@TauPan Silly?! Isn't it bad enough that I'm a guinea pig named Piggleston Pecanpants and now you expect I may occasionally post something silly?

@Salty Oh, excellent! I'm glad you liked it.
I like leftover fried rice. I can add all sorts of extra stuff to it when I reheat it to make it tastier and more of a meal.

@TauPan ...their isolated lives and that Mastodon is their only access to other people. I'd hate to see that cut off because they're afraid to show us a picture of their lunch or tell us about the snail they saw in their garden because they think that's inconsequential and they don't want to […]

@TauPan Judging by the responses I have received, I don't think I'm the only one who didn't realize she was being ironic. Communication by written word only is hard because you can't tell how the message is received and adjust accordingly.
The problem with misinterpreting this post is, people […]

@Salty I love fried rice. Sorry it was only average. If you didn't make it at home, maybe try another restaurant next time?

@EverydayMoggie I'm told she was being ironic and I just didn't pick up on it. I don't know her (it was a re-toot into my stream) so I'm unfamiliar with her methods of communication.

While I'd love to keep responding to your funny, sincere and thoughtful posts, I have to get back to real life. Please know you've given me joy and a vision of a world where more things unite us than divide us. Keep being unapologetically you (while exercising proper caution). You make a […]

@TauPan I may not have remembered the amount correctly. I also didn't call anyone out.

@DamonHD I'm sure it's a net positive for someone (like me, for instance). Sociability helps people feel like part of a community and unless that community is burning crosses on your lawn, that's a good thing.

@GrahamDowns Thank you. You just saved me having to post my own "exercise caution" post.

@LilPecan I think that's fine, but you do need a bit more care than you would exercise in a traditional diary. Two things come to mind:

1. Privacy. Never post anything that would allow people to find you in real life (unless that's your specific intention and you know what you're doing), and […]

I'm sitting outside,, in my reading chair, reviewing all your beautiful, witty, kind, diverse posts and thinking what a wonderful community we are building here. One Mastodonian called you "pocket friends" and I love that. Even with all the misery of the world around us, you folks […]

@xs4me2 One person's mundane could be another's lifeline.

@cascheranno I didn't catch that other stuff. I was told she was being ironic. I don't think it's healthy to post everything about one's life here but
conversations and friendships begin with the every day minutiae we share.

Every night I can sit on my deck, in New England, in autumn, I am simultaneously delighted and horrified. I love being in the quiet with nature when it should be too cold to do so but I understand it shouldn't be this way and fear what we've done and are doing to our gentle world.

@kerravonsen I've since been told it was posted ironically. Not sure why I didn't pick up on that. Maybe they posted earlier toots making that obvious and I didn't see them because I don't follow them. Still, I love all the conversations we've had tonight considering this.

@gimulnautti I'm told it was meant as irony. I'm sure the original poster is as mystified by my not getting that as I am.

@LilPecan I don't carry a pen. I hate fiddling with paper. I have to have my phone on me 24/7 to control my diabetes and, yeah, I have a notes app but, maybe, just maybe, there's someone else in the world who takes comfort in something I say because it makes them feel less alone, or they want to […]

@kenjen No maybe about it. Your post right there touched me and if you hadn't tooted it I wouldn't have heard.

Seems I hit a chord. Glad I did because I'm happier believing you folks know there's no need to hold back here. You're account is YOUR world. Do what you want in it (as long as you're not cruel).
I'm having trouble keeping up and it's late on the East Coast so more replies and follow backs will […]

@not2b And you don't need to follow them either. 🤪 That's the beauty of it.
