Hello Susan ... this is Fred ... as you can see i am still following you, and by the way, thank you for reciprocating.
Please note: I gave this story one clap - not because I'm a bot (or am I?), but because I'm in the habit of offering a single clap to everything I like, and no clap at all to those I don't.
I also usually follow my single clap with some sort of encouraging comment - like this one to you which is good for the topic, but even 'gooder' for your use of other authors' story links and thus encouragenets and help for the too.
Very well done,
Fred
