Thanks; I appreciate that. I guess I'm mostly bugged because I'm short of sleep, and because there's a health problem in my family that I probably shouldn't talk about. Nothing fatal, just hellishly stressful...and unending. Or at least that's how it feels right now.
Eh, if I was going cut my LJ 'cause of a lack of comments I'd have killed it a while back. I don't get much in the way of comments, presumably because of a lack of exposure of course but also because I post what I find of interest and not often what anybody else finds of interest. Part of why I went with the LJ; I recognized that my "Hey, look at the Neat Thing!" emails were drival, mostly.
Your stuff is good, but not always something that I have a comment worth making.
This is someting of a Stressful Time these days. There just seems to be more, well, lack of Hope. Don't know if that's 'cause of age or realistic.
Well, it's not so much the terrible dearth of comments. If that was the problem, I'd run up against the "man with no feet" issue, viz (of course) your own journal. And I don't want feel like a whiner, although I probably AM one; it's just that it bugs me that in some cases I comment pretty freely in some journals, and get little to no response or reciprocity.
Well, actually it isn't even so much that. The biggest problem is that I'm not just tired, but worn out. Mentally. I mean, I can cope with all the crap, no question - I can cope indefinitely, in all likelihood. But I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the isolation. I'm tired of worrying about money. I'm tired of worrying about the future, about democracy, about all too often not having anybody to bloody TALK to about anything

1) Sometimes I enjoy your posts, but have nothing to add. Your recent nintendo post is a good example. I liked the post, but don't play nintendo games... so, not really much I could say about it.
2) Isolation sucks, but I'm not sure if there is anything I can do about it. We would if we could, for what it's worth.

But do what you need to do for you and your family, by all means. That's what's most important in this life.

It reminds me of a short story by Lord Dunsany. And thanks to the miracle of the internet, here it is!

He was running a temperature again, 101.6 F (38.67 C to you, I suppose).
*sigh*
Thanks for the hug; even a virtual one is better than nothing. :D

Isolation does suck. I'm sorry you have to deal with it. Maybe if there was a better way for us to get together over the internet?
