Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF

TGIF

 

Friday you sweet thing. Good to see you again. Well, this week I have been working like a mad man to try to set up some posts for the time I’m out-of-town. I am able to prepare posts for my regular features. The posts that are prompts will be a different matter. On Tuesday and Saturday, my prompts come from others, so I’ll just have to hope the WiFi works well. I will be gone ten days beginning June 18th.  Today’s JohnKu talks about the fear of missing out. I hope you have a great weekend.

When we are away,

The fear of missing out lives. . .

But is unfounded.

    Have fun. All else fails, you can schedule funny picture posts that go live if you can’t get to the prompts on time. Sure you’ll have plenty of stories from this.

    What a great JohnKu! I suspect the ones left behind feel “missing” more intensely. So, have fun but keep us entertained with photos – maybe one of you sporting a kilt? 🙂

      A kilt would be interesting I’m sure. Might be able to answer age old questions.

      Thanks, Teagan. I have posts set up for every day but Tuesdays and Saturdays. I’m thinking of running a Scotland Vies for Sundays. Hugs

    First and foremost, John – enjoy your trip. We look forward to your posts, but don’t fret. If I get lonely, I’ll look up a photo of Lucy. That will carry me for a few days.

    Safe travels, John, and don’t worry about a thing. We’ll miss you, of course, but what’s the point of a vacation if you don’t get some rest?!?

      Thank you, Debbie. I have a feeling this will not be a restful trip. A Lot to see.

    You will be too busy having new adventures to miss anything here! And with your scheduled posts we won’t miss you. Cheers for the weekend!
