This blog is snooze mode, but not actually dead

A possible au revoir, but maybe not a final goodbye after 4 and a half year break?

As you will know, the blog is no longer regularly updated, but kept mainly for historic interest only.  The aim of the blog became a way of charting my thoughts when transitioning to a rubber oriented lifestyle where the objective is to be sealed in rubber head to foot for significant periods.   However the original aim was to aid/encourage/force myself to spend ever more time in rubber through publicly setting myself ever grander targets.  Once I proved to myself that such an existence was both achievable and desirable, the blog became less important.  I never found it easy to write these things and so the blog steadily became a chore with little pay-back.  I don't really know why I kept on posting as long as I did.  What feedback I got was mainly via eMail message or via social media, so little direct dialogue or constructive discussion was hosted by the blog, which is a pity as it might have been a reason to keep up the effort.   I do still occasionally get people commenting on my blog, but it always was a rare, if welcome, event.

There is a reason why social media (micro-blogging) replaced much of what was once hosted on blog sites.

So, i don't imagine I will be putting up frequent or long post going forward.  I have probably said most of what I wanted on the practical and physiological challenges of living in totally enclosed in rubber, plus how they can be overcome.  Hopefully I have made the point that the practical side is the easiest side to deal with, just requiring a problem solving and methodical mind-set.  As I have said, I think physiological challenges are more to do with the societal attitudes to totally enclosed people and until this changes, it presents the larger challenge.  I will say that I think things will change.  The direction of travel is that society will one day be more accepting of people and their differences.  Who knows how long that will take?  I don't!

When I think on it, this post summarises most of everything I have written here, in a short space.  For those who want to wade through the long journey of adopting a totally sealed lifestyle, the rest of the entries are here for you to read.  I may put occasional updates here, but promising nothing as I don't know that I will have anything much I feel the need to share.

On thing I want to share is that I am happy I tried to live my own way and encourage those who would want to live their way.
