I wonder if I’m eligible for the Dyson bladeless fan or if that’s 25 years…
[If not obvious, this is an example of my not-very-funny sense of humor. WordPress does not give out anniversary gifts as far as I am aware.]

Ah new car
Looks like the email dropped off the last word: “scent”. They just delivered a big bottle of new car scented spray.😂
😂
Congratulations on your 20th year of being on WordPress! I admire your commitment & always look forward to reading your posts 😊
I appreciate it and thank you, lodestarwytch 💙
For what it’s worth I enjoy your humour – oh & I shall be replying sometime today – life has not been cooperative this week for emails or blog posts 😅
Ha! My sense of humor is mostly fueled by Monty Python, old brit sitcoms and dad jokes (which I was already telling when I was a wee lad of 13). With a vaguely disturbing trend towards black humor.
Looking forward to it and I 100% understand. Interestingly enough, life happens every once in a while and demands our attentions. Huh.
You would definitely enjoy my twisted humour board on Pinterest 😂 If you are having a particularly bad day tell me & I’ll send a link to it 🤭😝
Send it to me later. You never know when a dose of dark humor will be needed to chase away the blues.
I was hoping for a Rolex.
A Ralex was an optional gift, but it looked like costume jewelry in the picture.
Yeah, they probably don’t want to pony up for a real one, in spite of all we do for them.
🤣 I wouldn’t even know what to do with a Rolex. I’d be afraid to wear something like that.
I good with the anniversary notifications.
Wow, congratulations 🥂
I wish these anniversary notifications were more special for such big numbers
Thank you. It would be fun and give me bragging rights (which would be short-lived), but I’m always a little startled myself when I see such a high number. It’s hard to believe it has been 20 years.
Twenty years!!! Wow!! That’s amazing, Michael. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations 🎊

Thank you! Much appreciated 💙
Most welcome!
Wow! What a milestone!
Makes me feel old 👴
Aww… You’re just wiser now ☺️
I wonder some days 😊
Well done you, Michael. Another twenty years? 🙂
Not sure about that. It might be different if I was able to maintain a giant readership, but I strongly suspect that I am already considered a dinosaur in the blogosphere. It would help if I wasn’t a talentless hack. 😉
Congrats on twenty years. That’s awesome.
Thank you, Bob.
That’s a super long time! How many times has the blog changed in that time? How many versions of you are out there?
If you can find things on the wayback machine, there’s probably about eight meaningful iterations and probably the same in false starts. Occasionally I burned down everything in frustration, mostly with myself.
Surely the Nobel Peace Prize.
I think you meant Ig Nobel Peace Prize.
2025 recipients won the Ig Nobel Peace Prize “for showing that drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person’s ability to speak in a foreign language”.
Sounds like a great argument against sobriety.
🤣 my mistake!
Congratulations!
Thank you 💕
Sorry I’m late, but I’m traveling. Fantastic accomplishment!
No worries! Thank you 😁
