Old Man Giving Up On Blogging

By -
I am totally frustrated with my blog. I cannot figure out how to build traffic. I have had thousands of visitors and only made three cents in December 2013. That is pathetic.

I just finished reading about how to build blog traffic by #mashable and some other people. All very good ideas, I'm sure, if I knew what they were talking about.

# Backlinks, hyperlinks, longtail, embedded links, seo, metatitles, and all the rest of that stuff  are all Chinese to me even though I have dedicated hundreds of hours to trying to figure out how to apply what I am reading. I want to write but want to have at least a few people read me. This is no fun.

I never get any comments and I cannot even read my performance reports.

I copy and paste each blog post to Twitter with a teaser that does bring a few people back to my blog. But,
I have a virtual zero following. That means nobody likes it here.

I have also added Google+ to confuse me further. Nobody is going there either.

I think I am too old for social networking. I would rather be writing with a pen and paper.  I did all my profitable work with my mouth. Selling.

It was so much easier then. Also, it can't help that I am so technically inept.

Any  feedback anyone or am I talking to myself?

KAMALA KAMALA KAMALA

  It is a nauseating and petrifying thought that Donald J. Trump can win the 2024 presidential election. It seems inconceivable to me and to hopefully enough registered voters to defeat Trump and enable Kamala Harris to win the presidency.  Why would this nation want to elect a man who already wrecked it previously and admittedly wants to be a dictator? Trump loves Putin, our arch enemy. Putin plays him like a fiddle Trump is a convicted criminal and a hunk of garbage human for every person who is not a multimillionaire or billionaire.  He is completely selfish and only wants to greedily serve his own purposes if he wins. He may only be running to stay out of jail. He could then pardon himself for most of the crimes he may go to prison for.  He does not represent you and I, the middle class, which accounts for the majority of people and businesses in this nation.  Give Kamala Harris a chance. No matter what she does it will be for the benefit  of us regular people and not for herself,

 It’s a miracle. I earned six cents in my blogger account. I posted a harsh line about Blogger in X and all of a sudden I made a few pennies here for the first time in several years. It was the same crap I write about all the time. Click again. More for you to smile to. again just for shits and giggles Here is another post. You can see all my good anti-Trump comments on David’s Place 1 on X. Read about what a piece of shit I think Donald Trump is. Also, I’m overjoyed that Kamala Harris made her entrance. What a relief.salvation.            Davids Place 1 on X.

COMPULSIVE GAMBLING: YOU WIN ONLY IF YOU DO NOT PLAY.

By -
Updated September 17, 2023 The adrenaline, the euphoria, the joy of knowing you will be in action is enough to inspire any gambler to gamble again and again  no matter how much they have lost. I am not just talking about lost money. I am talking about lost health, family, and friends. About losing everything that matters. I gambled for over 60 years and lost it all. In the last 14 years I have quit gambling and slowly rebuilt my life. Yet, I continue to long for my greatest friend and unconditional lover.  Gambling. Now, I am no longer owned by that urge. I own it. But, I only own it only day at a time. So, I stay on guard and keep working with other compulsive gamblers continually or I know I am doomed. Each day I commit to not gambling that day and to get to the next day without making a bet. Compulsive gambling is an incurable, lifelong disease.That is the bad news. The good  news is the condition can be arrested. You can stop. It's not easy but it's much better than
