      I'm probably going to still respond to quite a lot and tweet way more than average but the point is, I don't have to. I need to internalise this rule. I do not have to respond to anyone or anything at all.

      Obviously, if someone tweets me a valid criticism of something I have written, I will feel it needs a response but no more feeling I must respond to people who have decided to tell me what I think & why it makes me evil and/or stupid.

      Also, going to feel free to move past tweets about topics I have grown tired of arguing about or that raise issues which I either don't know about or don't care about. That will remove about half of my most frustrating exchanges.

      Someone may feel I have a responsibility to have an indepth discussion with them on the topic of whether or not God exists because I have expressed a view that he/she/it does not, but, in fact, I don't. I am weary of that debate & am allowed to state my view on it &leave it there

      I used to love Twitter for enabling me to have the conversations I wanted to have and connect with all kinds of people from all over the world. I have not been loving it for a while now. I intend to fix this. I shall be taking my own advice.https://conatusnews.com/twitter-productive-conversation/ …

      So, please excuse me if I ignore you when in the past we have had good conversations. I still love my tweeps. It will probably mean I haven't seen you or that I am getting too many tweets or that, on this occasion, I have nothing in me to contribute on that topic.

      I now have 'Office Hours' from 9-7 Monday - Friday with an hour's lunch break and two half-hour tea-breaks (obviously, I will be drinking tea continuously) and from 12- 5 with one tea break on Saturdays and 12-3 on Sundays. This will be necessary to fit everything in.

      I like the idea of one continuous tea break!

      Tut. The drinking of tea accompanies both work-time and break-time.

      It does indeed. It makes both more productive.

      This is a refreshing attitude to hear from a Mississippian. We are talking about the same thing, aren't we? You don't do anything awful to tea with ice and sugar, do you?

          I like tea any way I can get it but boiling and black is my preference. I have been known to drink it iced in the summer but not usually with sugar.

          Hmmmm. I have learnt I can't afford to be too pernickety about this with Americans, much as I'd like to. I would encourage you to add milk to that boiling black tea tho. :)
