I have a very hard time posting and commenting and I don’t know why because I have so much time on my hands. I always say oh I’m going to post about this or that and I forget. I was the same way on my last time with live journal. I need to just post and comment every day.

I have a hate love relationship with vehicles. I’m very lucky to have a boyfriend that’s been a mechanic for the last 25 years so he pretty much knows how to fix anything. It sucks trying to find a good mechanic that’s not going to charge you an arm and a leg.

You don't have to be good at comments for me. I always like when you comment on my posts, but it won't hurt my feelings if you don't. It especially won't bother me if you do comment and I reply, but you don't reply to that reply.

It also won't bother me if I comment on your post and you don't have the time/energy/wherewithal to reply.

My expectation of Vex interaction is: once in a while and on your terms. If I ever felt like I really needed a response, I'd email you directly. Otherwise it feels like a treat to hear from you, but not something I MUST HAVE to sustain myself.

Hoping to take a tiny bit of pressure off.

Also, its really cool that you have a mechanic who will help you out in such a human way. I hope your car gets fixed soon and doesn't need repairs for a long, long time!

Jeff sounds like the most amazing mechanic ever! I'm glad he got back to you.

But I remembered that part of why I don't post every day is that there's this horrible paradox where if nobody comments then I feel invisible, but whenever people comment and I don't reply I feel guilty.

This is me! 100%!! It does upset me sometimes, how selfish I probably appear posting all the time and never commenting lol. Not saying people who do that are selfish, just the way I feel about myself. I don't mind when people don't comment, every once in a while I see people saying they've been reading and apologising for exactly this, and that's cool :)
But it is hard to find time to do it all, isn't it? I understand where you're coming from totally.

Yay for Jeff! Shame he's retiring, but it's lovely that he will still be there to look after you/your car if/when you need him =)

I totally understand you on the replying thing. I'm awful at replying to comments too. I just hope no one takes it personally D:! However when I comment I don't comment with an expectation that I get a response for every single comment that I make so idk hopefully others think the same way lol.

We're still here for you no matter what =)

Hope your car situation gets figured out!!! I hate car trouble so much. It's the worst.
