Ten Things of Thankful [*bonk-bonk*] Is this thing on?

 As most of you know, this bloghop was created by Lizzi back in, like 1983. But the gathering of active blog writers were to appear in 2013(is)

For any arithmephiles out there, that is close to twenty five (or, maybe 11) years ago.

Since that time we've met many people who come to read, post and otherwise spend time at a blog that has Gratitude as the theme.

So starting this week we are going to engage in an exercise that combines the best of blog-writing and projectile metaphor.

Being Friday already, we wanted to get this post published. It is (as of Friday the 13th in Sept 2024 at 8:08 am) only partially complete.

Please check in as the day progresses.

Grat list beginning:

1) the opportunity to participate as the host* of this here bloghop here

2) * grateful to introduce a few ....err fringe concepts in the Grat Game, i.e. Hypo-grats more on this later

3) my co-hostinae

4) Lisa (who I owe a couple of Free Grats! more later)

5) T.A. Woods who has been in touch (from the TToT Facebook page) and will be doing a 'Remote Grat' from another platform. More on this as we figure out how to actually execute this ambition

6) the kind of tomato I trust Jane and George Jetson would find in their refrigerator (ain't it symetrical?)

7)...ok, ok. we're back! For Lisa: i) Modern Technology for it's ease and low cost in making available fora on a scale most writers (and would-be writers) never before witnessed and ii) the access to wider and wider audiences for the product of writers (and would-be writers) just a mouse-click away

Hey! A couple of changes to this here blogger blog here.

 Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

*Note from your new Ruler and Guardian and Sayer of all sorts of silly/interesting things.*

We are interested in any input/feedback/this-is-what-we-like-about-this-blogspot blog. Serially. Will, for the present copy our normal TToT post of the week here.

Will totally be happy to discover (or be told) about things that you Gratitoniens/Gratitonia do that would further the reach of this thing of Lizzi's

There is a change here at the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. A change of personal. Our current host Dyanne has done her time and is due some richly deserved R&R from html-wrangling the weekly publication. As we all know, Time is the ultimate HR manager and even in the virtual (and some might argue, timeless) world of the blogosphere, change is the one true constant.

We invite all participants, past and present to join us in expressing our appreciation for her efforts on behalf of the Grat-blog-that-Lizzi-created.

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) Dyanne. Grateful for her work as the most recent hostinae of this here Grat-blog here. Seeing how nothing says 'thank you' better than old home movies, if'n we had any we'd link them up. Since we don't have none of them, click here and you will see what is purportedly our out-going Host's first TToT appearance. (Thumbnails at the bottom of the post. Number 16 with a bullet.)

5) the digital age and land of easily-accessed and horrendously misconstrued thoughts, intentions and self-improvement.

7) the Six Sentence Story bloghop  Six Pick! : 'Part 26: Navigating a Debris Field'. by Misky

8) the Unicorn Challenge Read this! 'Unicorn Promptly' by ceayr

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3

*yeah, we're very much into the application of astrixeses to cover our more... imginative use of language
