  • Blogging After Xanga

    Just a quick note:  I will be on Roadlesstaken’s radio show tomorrow June 12th at 6:00 p.m. Central time.  7:00 p.m. Eastern time. Here is the Link:  Link

    When xanga gave us a notice that they might shut down, I figured my blogging days were over.  While some people talked about where they would go, I thought this might just be a changing to a new chapter in my life.  It was a fun ride but maybe it was time to be over.  I will continue blogging on xanga if they make their goal.  
    But I think I am done as a blogger.
    Will you continue to blog after xanga?
                                                                                                

  • Sexless Marriage

    I was reading this question asked to an advice column:  I’m 56 years old.  I’ve been married for over 20 years, and we haven’t made love in more than eight years. Is our sex life over forever?”  Here is the link:  Link



    Could you live in a sexless marriage?

                                                                                    

  • The Purge

    A new movie that is out is called “The Purge.”  The setting of the movie is 2022 in the U.S.

    Crime is pretty low in the future and some believe it is a certain policy.
    Every year, for 12 hours there is a time when you are allowed to commit just about any crime including murder and there is no penalty for the crime.  The 12 hour period is called The Purge.  Here is the link:  Link
    If you could commit a crime and know you would not get punished, would you commit the crime?
                                                                    

  • Sharing Your Feelings on Xanga

    I notice that some people mention that they have shared things on xanga that they have never shared with their friends in real life.

    I imagine it is easier for some people to share online than it is to share with someone who is looking at them face to face.
    Have you shared too much on xanga?
                                                                                       

  • Your Xanga Username

    How did you come up with your xanga username?
                                                                                                  

  • How Will You Be Remembered on Xanga?

    Some of you have posted on here for 8 to 12 years.  Others have been on here for 4-5 years.  

    People have had an opportunity to get to know you. They have read some of your private thoughts.  They have read some of your rants.  They have been with you through childbirth and pain.
    How will you be remember on xanga?
                                                                                                        

  • Paying for Xanga

    I have noticed that some people now believe that xanga will probably gain the $60,000 needed to save xanga.  Here is the link to donate:  Link

    But some people appear to think that xanga will struggle to continue on a paid model.  The thinking is that it will be tough for xanga to go much beyond that if people have to pay $48.00 a year.
    I suggested to someone on the xanga team that they should raise more than $60,000 (maybe $120,000) and then allow everyone to continue for free.
    Is paying for xanga a deal breaker for you personally?
                                                                                   

  • When Women Brush Their Boobs Against Men

    I went over to Reddit to support the effort by Shimmer and Cakalusa to help save xanga:  Go vote xanga Up:  Link  (If this doesn’t work, I think everyone should let me write the next Reddit post).
    I couldn’t find the xanga post so I used the Reddit search engine and typed in “boobs.”
    I noticed that people were discussing whether women intentionally press their boobs against men or are they unaware that they do that.  Here is the link:  Link  Are they trying to flirt or is it random.
    Do women press their boobs against men on purpose?
                                                                                                      

  • Xanga: How it All Began

    People have been sort of nostalgic the last few days on xanga.  They have been talking about their time on xanga and how they got started.

    My brother in law helped me get started on xanga.  He asked me if I wanted a blog.  I had never heard of a blog but he walked me through it.  He told me that he always got more comments if he put a question at the end of the post.
    Who got you started on xanga?
                             
                                                                        

  • Your Xanga Anxiety Level

    When xanga announced that they would shut down xanga if they did not raise $60,000 by July 15th, people had all sorts of responses.  (Go donate:  Link)  $18,000 and counting

    Some people acted like they didn’t care.  Others acted as if they were told a friend was dying.
    Lets rate this on a scale of 1 to 10.  1 means you are indifferent.  10 means your life is impacted in a significant way.
    On a scale of 1 to 10, how anxious are you about xanga shutting down?
