Honestly. <BR/><BR/>It's would be much easier if you were just a little dumber. You could post:<BR/><BR/>"Dude, Nickelcreek Raawwwks!"<BR/><BR/>Then I could write back:<BR/><BR/>"Nuh uh, you freeek! So laamme! LOL ROTFL! FU!"<BR/><BR/>Your posts make me think, damnit. And I can't think and type at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep it up.John McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757876504958350010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1132750128684119822005-11-23T07:48:00.000-05:002005-11-23T07:48:00.000-05:00i'm glad you are feeling better. i think most (god...i'm glad you are feeling better. i think most (god forbid i say ALL and have the ONE person that doesn't care read this) people with blogs have moments like this where they think "does anyone even read this?"<BR/><BR/>personally, one reason i have a blog is so others know what is going on in my life. it's technically for me...for my records and whatnot, but really i consider it more of an ongoing conversation. so not having interaction would bug me. that being said, i totally realize that there are posts i make that don't really inspire comments. and that's okay too. :)<BR/><BR/>i'm glad you like simon and greta. they're great kids!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873045531201669483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1132711434639827532005-11-22T21:03:00.000-05:002005-11-22T21:03:00.000-05:00Karen, for the record, you can post about potty tr...Karen, for the record, you can post about potty training or any other kid-related activity you like, and I will eagerly read it. I do eagerly read it, in fact. I love Simon and Greta, and I love the fact that you love them, too. It's a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Plus I'm feeling much better now that people have responded. :-)Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1132705391319722432005-11-22T19:23:00.000-05:002005-11-22T19:23:00.000-05:00mike, i promise to make enough posts about potty t...mike, i promise to make enough posts about potty training to cover us both, okay?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873045531201669483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1132705106131175332005-11-22T19:18:00.000-05:002005-11-22T19:18:00.000-05:00andy, i always check out your blog. yes, i freely ...andy, i always check out your blog. yes, i freely admit i scan the comments on specific musical works quickly because, frankly, i don't listen to music. maybe some day you will inspire me to.Fred Kohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228935746297454345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1132704471796366012005-11-22T19:07:00.000-05:002005-11-22T19:07:00.000-05:00Andy, as Karen said, I look for new posts everyday...Andy, as Karen said, I look for new posts everyday, and look forward to them. I discovered your blog a month or so ago, and was delighted to find it. Some of your posts nearly moved me to tears, especially the one about Bill.<BR/><BR/>Know that you do have readers, even if we don't post. Heck, I belong to several listservs and sometimes go for months without responding to posts.<BR/><BR/>And I would never post about potty training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1132685862460710142005-11-22T13:57:00.000-05:002005-11-22T13:57:00.000-05:00i'm sorry but i have to respond to your comment. i...i'm sorry but i have to respond to your comment. it was funny, even if you didn't mean for it to be. :D<BR/><BR/>the thing about "what i'm listening to" posts...i just don't have a lot to say about them. i have found, however, that those are the posts that guys tend to actually comment about on my blog. so who knows. <BR/>even if i don't comment, i check your blog everyday and always read when you put up something new.<BR/><BR/>anyways, it's not like you always comment on mine. which is okay. most of the c.v. bloggers don't comment on mine. or atleast, those from blogspot. so...i don't know what to tell you. get a live journal? :D<BR/><BR/>as for people talking about potty training... if you'll notice it's usually moms that talk about that. but in general parents of young kids can relate and always want to talk about how their little ones learned this or that. i'm sure that's a part of it.<BR/><BR/>i think you're great. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873045531201669483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1132674353356036592005-11-22T10:45:00.000-05:002005-11-22T10:45:00.000-05:00This is how desperate I have become: I comment on ...This is how desperate I have become: I comment on my own postings.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I wonder why I bother. I have no idea if anyone reads these things. I am currently experiencing Blog Comment Envy. I have friends, good people, and no criticism intended, who post about their toddler's potty training, and 47 people chime in and comment about potty training.<BR/><BR/>My kids used to poop in their pants. Really. But they grew out of it. You can comment on that if you want. <BR/><BR/>Ah, I am bitter and cynical. I should probably stop now.<BR/><BR/>But I won't. I hear Jeff talked about thanksgiving on Sunday. I missed it because I was downstairs taking care of the toddlers, some of whom are potty trained and some of whom are not. I probably could have benefited from his sermon. But I really was thankful for those kids, even without knowing the theme of the sermon. I would like to be thankful for the fact that no one comments about anything I write, that sometimes I share my heart in print and it feels like the sharing goes into a black hole. I'm not there yet, but I'd like to get there. So maybe this is a test. <BR/><BR/>If anyone ever reads this, no, you don't need to respond to this. It might be better if you didn't, in fact.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.com
