I’m not ghosting you. . . .

To Whom it Concerns,

I did it! Took a bit of courage, too!

I recently permanently deleted my Facebook account, but I’d like to maintain many of the friendships I’ve developed over the past 10-12 years.  Some of the friendships go back more than 50 years.

Without exception, people I’ve informed have given me kudos. I’m anxious about losing touch with important people, admirable people, people like you.

That’s one issue. The other is my redundant email account. Hotmail.

The entity providing my free hotmail account told me that I’ve used up, surpassed even, my storage alottment.   I’d have to pay a monthly fee. 

So, instead of doing that, I want to rely on my gmail account.  I was informed that my entire hotmail account will be deleted in about two weeks.  Of course I have mixed emotions.

Both Facebook and hotmail inundate me with unwanted advertisements, sexual propositions, click baits, and other distractions. They waste my time and attention.

I am keeping my blog, insearchofbud.com , but I don’t know who reads it.  I believe a few of you receive notifications whenever I post, but unless you reply to a post, I don’t know who you are.

Therefore, if you are a friend who reads this, please notify me.  I need to know whatever information you care to share with me so we can remain in touch:  

* your name (or nickname) I am Daniel R. Struckman aka Dan, Danny, Stork, Stretch, Dan the Bearded Giant, or Goofy Motherfucker. I never did enjoy the last moniker, but I include it for completeness.

* email address.  Mine is dannystruckman@gmail.com

* I probably have your phone number, so don’t share it. Mine is 406-694-2829.

* other contact information, as appropriate.  Remember, my blog is publicly available, so you may want to use discretion.  Maybe use my gmail address instead.

I plan to send emails from my gmail account to my list of contacts currently using my hotmail.

Sincerely,

Daniel Struckman
