realdonaldtrump removed you from their Friendslist

Nope, sorry, just kidding. That must've come through because dude deleted his blog- 29 days in:

Former President Donald Trump’s blog — a webpage where he shared statements after larger social media companies banned him from their platforms — has been permanently shut down, his spokesman said Wednesday.

The page “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” has been scrubbed from Trump’s website after going live less than a month earlier.

It “will not be returning,” his senior aide Jason Miller told CNBC.

“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said via email.

Just for some perspective here: I began my REAL LiveJournal blog on April 17, 2004. Counting the crossposts since I bailed from their homophobic content restrictions, I have posted over 6,300 entries, including at least one a day for all of 2021 except one day.

Must be my hands are bigger than his tiny ones.

Reports indicate he was mad, or sad, or something, about the lack of traffic: only a couple thousand hits a day.  Hell, I'd kill for that kind of exposure.

But don't worry, Mr. FPT. There's always MySpace, still.

Update from yesterday's possible firing: wasn't. Client emailed back, was respectful and respectful of the boundaries that were set.

I then set out to define some other boundaries for some future clients, boundaries within which they should be confining their brains.  I've had a particular issue come up several times recently, either in cases referred to me or others that co-workers are handling.  They all involve the scenario of older people/couples, which is to say old farts our age, trying to "help out" their child(ren) by either signing over real estate to them or providing for them to receive real estate in their wills.  It became a common enough occurrence that I wrote up a handy dandy handout on what they're doing and why, if they do it, they should do it carefully. Some, but not most, of the guidance in this is New York-specific. Feel free to share with attribution:

( “I want to put my kids on the deed to my house.” )

Okay, the STAR bit is definitely NY-specific: it's an annual credit against school taxes for homeowners that all can claim below a set but generous annual income limit, with an "enhanced" credit available to seniors below a much less generous limit.  Just this week, clients of a coworker had a "name on the deed" situation threaten to cost the parent close to 600 bucks a year.  Hopefully this will help re-engage the heads before the hearts get too stupid.

Speaking of heads: Eleanor signed up for an Alzheimer's study. I am required to "partner" with her, but I'm not sure to what extent they're going to get into my brain.  She found herself concerned about some small cognitive things- like having trouble judging how close oncoming cars are when merging onto the four-lane highway we live off from the "suicide lane."  I have similar things, like in the other office today when I felt nature's call and started to walk into the supply closet rather than the loo. Started is the operative word. I have no trouble remembering who and where I am, who the president is, and unfortunately who the president was.

Good thing, too, because there's no longer that blog of his to refresh my memory with....
