I subscribed, Alex, and saved this post. Yay! We are like-minded souls.

I feel like you've been reading my unpublished work and came to my training as an invisible human. How'd you get in?? 🤣

You are right. Spot on. Perfectly written. (And you may quote me 🤗 )

I look forward to leisurely reading this in the morning before I start my productive day.

When you awake, Alex, I'm hoping this comment puts a big smile on your face and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Oh, Donna!

Thank you so fucking much! 🤣

Yes, I do feel like we're kindred spirits! I read your introductory email the other day and thought it was brilliant! It made me blow snot-bubbles!

The stuff you were saying is pretty much exactly how my brain works! Lots of random thoughts impregnated with lots of swearing! 🤣

I'm actually a really nice person, I just can't help it sometimes when my brain breaks its restraints. 🤣

Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm sure we will be speaking more! 😊

What a lovely message to wake up to (I did wake up to it, but it's now 12:03 AM when I'm writing this response - the perils of mixing writing with a 9-5, eh?).

It did put a smile on my face and was such a good feeling!

Thank you,

Alex

You crack me up, Alex!

One of the things I like a lot about Substack is the ability to get gritty and have a potty mouth. As a Recovering Southern Baptist Perfectionist and a twice ordained minister, WTF!

I got a question. You mentioned my introductory email. WHAT? I wanna see it. Can you find it and forward to me? I'll DM my email.

I'm wondering if Substack created that from the algorithms sussing out who I am, or did I fiddle with a gritty draft and inadvertently saved it.

Leaving today's reply with, consider yourself hugged.

But watch out. I'm 6'5" and a true hugger

😯"Recovering Southern Baptist Perfectionist and twice ordained minister"

Truly, WTF! 😯

🤣

Well, please don't judge me for this, but I don't follow/believe any religion...

I don't judge anyone who has, or has in the past - that's their choice, I believe everyone has the right to believe in whatever the hell they want! 🤘

I do believe in Father Christmas though! (I love Christmas BTW) 🤣And I WILL judge anyone who says they don't like it! 🤣

Anyway, that took a turn...

Hmmm... can't seem to find it now - I know I saw it and I "filed" it to reply to, but for the life of me now...

Shit! Fuck! Bollocks!

Ooh, I bet you give a good bear hug?

🐻

That is, if I can find the pathway to DM you, Alex. Where the frack did it go??

I think if you hover over someone's profile, it gives you the option to DM.

Never done it myself, so can't vouch for it, but I'm guessing?
