I wonder why someone would be interested in this girl's story but what I've learned about myself is that there is some really funny stuff in the most ordinary of things!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463345632938700888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1144949519761449962006-04-13T10:31:00.000-07:002006-04-13T10:31:00.000-07:00I tried so hard to make the rounds of my sidebar l...I tried so hard to make the rounds of my sidebar last night, but could no longer hold my eyes open to comment here after reading.<BR/> <BR/>I find I come over here to read your wonderful work, but may not have anything relevant to say at the time in order to comment... or I'm just "plain ole brain dead".<BR/>Sometimes I'll come by with a thought, but lose it, and have to come back again. In all this, I am "hitting" your site meter several times a day. Sorry if I'm screwing up your numbers.<BR/><BR/>I agree with everybody else, and like the comments. It has been a pleasure getting to know the people who drop by and have become part of my extended family on the web.... as well as coming by their blogs and reading their work. <BR/><BR/>For you to have over 2500 hits is amazing... it goes to show you that your work is indeed good!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767057478043796740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1144905250350980002006-04-12T22:14:00.000-07:002006-04-12T22:14:00.000-07:00neal ~ I know...

It's kinda fun, you might want to check it out, it's free and fairly simple. You may be surprised by the results. I certainly don't think you're an idiot!<BR/><BR/>~MikeMichael K.

It's nice to know whose stopping by. It's fun to see the stats too.<BR/><BR/>oilf ~ Thank you, thank you and you may name your prize!

My main comment is:<BR/><BR/>Your drive by readers don't know what they are missing.<BR/><BR/>I occasionally look at my site meter, but it really is all about the comments, the relationships I've developed with amazing people I never would have met otherwise (like you!) and also: I LOVE TO WRITE. I can't stop writing. I've written all my life, but now people see it. It's a trip. Love it.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1144879442906589822006-04-12T15:04:00.000-07:002006-04-12T15:04:00.000-07:00Mike said: Blogging and posting for anyone to read...Mike said: Blogging and posting for anyone to read and comment on is like practicing using live ammo.<BR/><BR/>Now *that's* good...

I'm not sure I understand completely why I do it...and I don't think I started out knowing why I am doing this...Yes, I love having people come and read me and I love comments. I thought about getting a Site Meter thing...but, haven't gotten around to it...It certainly would be interesting to see how many people actually stop by, weather they comment or not, but...I'm not absoultely pining to know....Do I want to pimp my blog? No. I am not even sure what that all means, either...the publicizing of one's blog...Hmmmmm.<BR/>I guess I'm content to just go along as I have been, and as things evolve...they WILL evolve, you know? Anyway, Mike, it's good to be visiting again...I haven't been well enough to do my usual visiting, but I am now Much Much Better, so here I am.OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1144865546433735182006-04-12T11:12:00.000-07:002006-04-12T11:12:00.000-07:00Well, I'm 2502 - so someone came by here with out ...Well, I'm 2502 - so someone came by here with out commenting!! Hmmmm....<BR/><BR/>I am really into reading and posting comments. I think it took me about three months before I got my first comment, aside from spammers. I remember being so excited!!<BR/><BR/>Blogging has helped me in so many ways and I will always be grateful for my e-buddies!!!<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Yay you! :) <BR/><BR/>I installed a site meter a while back, but I never check it.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I saw a political writer job for AP posted somewhere based in Sacremento and thought of you. You should look into that.<BR/><BR/>PS: I hope this posts! I wrote this loooong comment fro your last post and lost it because of a blogger issue. <BR/><BR/>Congrats again on 2,500!!!! :)Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632532461407526747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1144834092048506412006-04-12T02:28:00.000-07:002006-04-12T02:28:00.000-07:00Heh.

But I remember when I first started reading your blog.<BR/><BR/>Comments mean more to me. Don't really care about hits. I know a lot of people read but don't comment, including several personal friends of mine and some family members.<BR/><BR/>As for anonymity (sp?), I prefer to remain anonymous. Hats off to those who show their true faces, but I don't want anyone at my work to know it's me. I just see it as it will come back to bite me in the *ss. Plus, I won't be able to talk about the new girl at work who's really cute.The Zombieslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739873812900433755noreply@blogger.com
