No Comment!

Does your spouse's or significant others read your blog? My husband is a very successful, important business man! He has great responsibilities at his job. He goes to work everyday without complaint looking quite handsome in his suit and tie. Everyday he kisses me goodbye. Everyday he calls me on his way home. And now everyday he faithfully reads my blog! What more could a girl ask for? Maybe, a comment or two daily. Is that too much to ask?

I started my blog really expected no one to read it. Then I ventured out there to make some new blogging buddies. I really enjoy that! I am a very social person. On a scale from 1 - 10, I would consider myself a 7 or 8 when it comes to needing social contact on a daily basis. I revel in the silence of my home after the boys leave for school, but it lasts about one hour. I need communication and contact with other humans. So, now that my blog is established, I want comments! I need comments.

Okay, I know. I read many blogs out there and some days I don't feel the urge to comment. Some days I will feel a connection from some and other days I don't, so I won't comment. There are others that I have no connection with whatsoever. Do you feel the same? So, I have noticed many of you put a series of questions on your blog to get audience participation, but mine are more of a survey about my blog. Now, please answer based on important information: Remember, I am not a writer.. just a girl.... (ha ha, Kevin) and I am a fairly new blogger so be gentle.... so here goes.... and if you want to respond anonymously you may!

How do you feel about my blog?

a. boring b. duh, your not a writer c. it's okay d. very simple, but pleasant e. very refreshing and inspiring f. other____________________________

How could I improve my blog?

a. delete it b. learn how to write poetry c. quit talking about your precious husband and children d. learns some big words e. don't change, I love you just the way your are! f. other ____________________

Why do you read and make no comments?

a. I have a life and don't have time b. I don't want you to know that I am reading it- I'm shy! c. because I have nothing to say d.You leave me speechless
e. I don't know how to leave a comment (put your cursor on the word "comment" at the bottom of the post and click your mouse, then fill in the information) f. other ________________________

How can I get your attention?

a. talk about politics b. post some great recipes c. dance on your blog naked d. tell us all your deep dark personal secrets e. give us a daily Gilmore Girl review
f. other___________________

Just in case you have trouble with this test, my son told me that if you don't know the answer on a multiple choice test to circle "c".

Hope to hear from all of you soon! Especially you, babe! Thanks for reading!

Have a Blessed weekend!

Hi Peg! You're so cute I could just squeeze you! I wish I had more time to regularly cruise other blogs, then I think I'd comment a lot more, but then you know, there are some days where I'm just without words... to either comment or to post an entry on my own blog!

What's your feeling on responding to the comments people make on your blog? Are they always necessary, is that something that keeps people engaged, and if it's not done, do people want to not read your insights? I ask b/c that's something I forget to do and sometimes wonder if it irks people.....

It doesn't irk me though... so you don't have to respond if you don't want to either ; D LOL!

I have become a major blog reader I don't often comment eccept for Pastor Tina's blog as i know her so here i am a lurker with a comment--i feel a blog should not be made for others but for your own ramblings-that is what i love about blogs--reading what others go thru as i have no one else in the town i live in to talk to blogs are my connection to the outside world having moved here 5 years ago to benefit my husbands length of travel every day we are perfect located for him but alas "we are not from here" so i spend most of my time in the house my husband works long hard hours my kids are grown i have no real purpose any more I am unable to work I thank God for the wonderful man and the two great kids he has blessed me with also thankful for the foodnetwork my best friend.

Thanks to everyone for visiting and for your comments!

Hey Monica - it doesn't irk me because I think it is really hard to keep up with that.

Hi Michael,

My days of HSU are a little blurry, but I do remember you. I have come across a few people that I just flat out didn't remember. I didn't even know y'all were friends! That's awesome that you have kept in touch all these years. Thanks for visiting my blog. I see how you get comments on your blog and lot's of 'em - those are your students?
