Very Important Answers to Very Important Questions from Very Important People


A few posts back I asked some very important questions to the bloggy world at large. Well, it might have been a week ago, but now that I am officially on vacation I refuse to keep track of days.

After careful scientific tabulations (a few drinks, a few friends and reading the comments over and over) the following conclusions have been drawn.

1. People could care LESS if I post every day, and they post when they darn well please. So will I.

2. Most prefer an email response, which to ME is the most personal, and allows an immediate response, which may or may include some words that I no longer feel comfortable uttering on this particular space. (*@&$ it.)

3. Most people STILL don’t have their “handle” hooked up to their email. (Guys- you might THINK you do, but if you are not getting email responses from ANY of the blogs you are visiting, chances are GREAT that it isn’t connected properly. Go to your profile- then EDIT profile, and there should be a place for you to add your email address. You’re gonna have to take it from there.)

4. The sky is blue because that is Santa’s favorite color, and he sprinkles his magic dust on planes to make them fly.

Thanks for your participation in this little exercise; your certificates are in the mail. (Or they would be if people actually USED real mail anymore…)

Oh my God, did I just use a semi-colon? That calls for a martini. (And when I say martini, I mean vodka and Diet Pepsi.)

    I recently discovered Mamosa's, they are really yummy...But make me giggle.

    I usually answer via email but then feel like people don't think I'm answering them unless I do it in the comments section. The opposite is also true (sigh).

    If you've got a Costco nearby get a case of the blood orange soda to mix with that vodka. Yummy!!!!!

    With everyone dropping by for drinks, the chance that somebody will do something they can be bribed with later is good.

    Is it okay that I just love Margharitta's with lots of salt? I really honestly tried to love Martini's but it didn't work. We weren't meant to be!

    I get emails from you so I think I'm cool. And I certainly hope your discomfort of "how you respond" isn't because you are being 'stalked' by a pastor, Pray tell. . . .

    I have it on good authority that vodka is best served on ice with a splash of mandarin orange bubbly water; so I have been told; but I have to drink a few before I can hear the voices; what is the semi-colon you speak of?

    One more thing, if you happen to get Asian comments in any Asian language, what do you do?

  56. Smart Mouth BroadJune 25, 2009 at 1:14 AM

    WOW! Look at all those Chinese comments.

    I'm just catching up here and was surprised to see that you posted about the same things that I did. I just posted my results from my "survey" too. Pretty much the same opinions.

  57. Girl TornadoJune 26, 2009 at 10:34 PM

    Oh my, did you get some Asian spam or what?! LMAO

    Re: the email handle. Honestly, more of my readers HAVE hooked up their email. I can't believe how many comments I've gotten in the last week that don't have the "no-reply-comment" thingie in the return email field. Yay!

    It's just so much easier to respond by email. And I often go to their blog after that, to leave them a quick comment too. :)

    And it's Friday. And I'm ready for a drinkie. :-D

    نقل المطبخ عند مؤسسة نقل مطابخ واثاث بالعاصمة السعودية
    إن العفش الذي يبقى في المطبخ يفتقر إلى دقة هائلة في عملية النقل؛ ولعل هذا يرجع إلى أنه عرضة إلى التلف وذلك ما تدركه المؤسسة جيدًا وترغب في أن تتجنب هذا تمامًا، حيث أن المطبخ يتضمن على الكثير من الزجاج والاشياء العرضة إلى الكسر؛ شركة نقل عفش بالدمام
