I just feel so shackled when the blog does not work...working NOW! After feeling shackled by the blog limitations for a few days, I get grumpy and self-deprecating, well, more so than usual.<br /><br />Hops,<br />Thanks.I try!

They may be the things that bring you to the blog to begin with, but after a while, isn't it just about the people?<br /><br />I mean, I didn't start following your blog because I expected to hear about children or animals or husbands. I started following your blog because we were on that group together for so long, and even though I don't follow it any more, there were certain people who I wanted to keep in touch with. <br /><br />Just be yourself. Write what interests you. Or what pisses you off. Or what makes you smile. I follow to keep up on what's going on with you.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-57905068536382865712012-02-23T16:14:48.658-06:002012-02-23T16:14:48.658-06:00Susan,
Thanks for dropping by and the encouraging ...Susan,<br />Thanks for dropping by and the encouraging words. I did the word verification wrong six times on one blog. If I had not had a post already written, I would have just gone away. I may do that--turn off the word verification. I have only gotten one spam, ever. <br /><br />Thanks.Drop in more often.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-17341594133568108472012-02-23T15:48:42.162-06:002012-02-23T15:48:42.162-06:00Dear Linda, I'm an occasional dropper-in and I...Dear Linda, I'm an occasional dropper-in and I always like what you have to say. You've a great sense of humour and tongue-in-cheek quips. My problem is that I follow a lot of bloggers but find it really hard to keep visiting as much as everyone else.<br />Love your chicken updates too :D)<br />Keep blogging xx<br /><br />I've just tried to post this comment and thought I'd go back into 'edit' and add a bit more because latest double-word verification is really hard to read - I kept getting the words wrong. Would've given up and just not left a comment. From what I read on some others' blogs, they are of the same opinion. However, thought I'd let you know. I've chosen to turn word verification off and just use comment moderation to control the spam. Just a thought!!

Or, will I just open Pandora's box of blog troubles. <br /><br />I have noticed the wide fluctuations that you mention. When the numbers and comments are high, I am elated. Then, it all hits rock bottom.<br /><br />Keeping a diary can be helpful. I read of your trouble with alcohol. My best friend was an alcoholic and had some of the same actions/thoughts as you did. He could have read your blog and might have been helped. He felt like no one else understood just how it was in his head.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-85744808160831632712012-02-23T10:05:31.074-06:002012-02-23T10:05:31.074-06:00*chuckle* you keep amusing me, Practical!

That generally is easier for links etc. as you have a button to help... select the text click link and enter the URL where you want to link to...<br /><br />My blog is neither this nor that really. Yes I use it a bit to try and advertise my music and that has some (very limited) success.<br /><br />I sometimes wonder why I bother - well cos I do really. I get about 20 reads per post on average and about 2 or 3 comments... Then suddenly you get 10 comments on a post with new bigger readership then suddenly 400 read one post (clearly something in it came up high on Google) and not one comment! <br /><br />Mine is an edited open diary really. In part it is more important as part of my recovery and I have met other recovering alcoholics / addicts through it and that is more valuable than how many read it etc.<br /><br />"To thine own self be true"Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-47586679341981000112012-02-22T19:40:43.173-06:002012-02-22T19:40:43.173-06:00LindaM,
