RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! ๐
Thanks! You did really well yourself, so congrats to you too!
I think it would be spelled "y'all" as it is an abbreviation of "you" and "all." Like "you're" and other words like it, the apostrophe goes where the replaced letters would have been. That's my thinking, but maybe Texans do it differently. @janton?
Thank you so much, @themanwithnoname.
I think you're right. And so does the Texan whose blog I visited to check... forgot to link earlier.
I actually used that word in my very first #IntroduceYourself post, so I just need to scrolllllllll alllllll the way downnnnnnnn to find it. ;)
Or maybe not... haven't for awhile but did do some archive posts. Reminder to do another soon. Will check. I know I spelled it right in that title. Thanks again.

There has to be an easier way to get to your first posts. I don't know it though, so maybe someone else will chime in.
There is. Found last archive post. Can't believe I haven't updated it in so long. May do it later.
Seems to be like you, my fav Texan mama and that Texan blogger above said... it's 'y'all' in that first post title. But confirmation later by in the house Texans will still be appreciated.
I don't drink coffee usually but maybe I need some this morning? My apologies for mixing up your username earlier, @themanwithnoname.
Cool, you found it! That must have been a lot of scrolling. Ha ha.
No worries. I mix stuff up all the time. Ha ha

LOVE this!!! I'm chuckling and giggling over here. Have no idea why but I find that quote by you, @themanwithnoname, to be sooooo funny.
AND sensible guidance to live by. ;)
Oh, please don't live your life by my little quotes. They're mainly stupid things that I come up with spur of the moment. I really wouldn't advise living your life by them. Ha ha

Ok, so that's probably actually a good quote, but take it with a grain of salt. ;)
Oh don't worry. I pick up Guidance from around me daily. Take what I like, leave the rest alone. But did enjoy that first... and quite like the second too.
Have you gathered them up and published on Kindle for the heck of it?
You could fling one to a page, add a couple sentences worth of your insights, say 150 words or so. 4000 words min. 4000/150 = 27 quotes. Blank page in between, so 54 pages approximately, plus intro/outro.
Hardly any formatting because it's so little text, just copy/paste then drop in each quote and matching insights. You'd have Volume 1 of Quotes To Not Live By up in no time... end of next week if you choose, end of July easily.... authored by The Man With No Name.
Get one up each month for 5 months and you'll have a good 5 book series going at $0.99 each, box all five for $2.99 for those who prefer boxes or who want both, then rinse and repeat. ;)
Wow, you've got it all lined out for me. I don't really have an excuse at this point. Ha ha!
I did have someone ask if I was keeping track, and honestly I hadn't been, so I went back through three days worth of comments that I made (I make a lot of comments) and got the ones I saw. I'm fairly certain I got all of them.
I'm now tracking them in a Word doc and trying to figure out what I want to do with them. It very well could be a Kindle book. I know you can do kindle unlimited. People don't have to buy it that way, but you still get paid around $0.004/page or something. If I just did a quote per page, it would add up quickly. I already have 50+
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see what I come up with.
lol! howdy there @themanwithnoname!
well, the redneck version is ya'll or y'll so
if you want to be all sophisticated ya'll can type y'all.
Congrats Janton. Welldone three weeks in a row what an achievement. I am very glad to see it and well deserved
N Texas isn't that part of Oklahoma where they just forgot to extend the line over :)
howdy there @wolfhart and thank you my friend! I couldn't do this stuff without fun people such as yourself to comment to, thanks for all your help and advice!
yes that is the problem with Oklahoma, someone made a serious mistake when they made that border!
LOL Well I guess they had to have a panhandle too
Interesting. I didn't know that! I always thought it was "y'all."
I'm sure it is technically or grammatically
but I don't care about that! lol
