I'm making a HUGE batch of lemonade. You're all invited over.


It’s a good thing I’m not a detective….

So, after the Purple troll left a comment on my blog that did manage to rattle my cage, I spent the whole night chasing the person by a “location” that was suspiciously close to where Tightwad was working these past six months.

I emailed Suzy and Elise and Braja to tell them the troll was on THEIR blogs. I then followed her all over bloggyland, wondering why she was STALKING MY FRIENDS.


The Port Allegheny address? It was my own damn computer.


It seems I’ve been tracking myself for the last 24 hours.



And Purple? I want to thank you for giving me a great laugh this morning. I needed it.



(You guys are awesome. You talked me off the ledge, and Tightwad thanks you for keeping him alive.)

  1. Yeah thanks Purple, you uptight bitch....at least you came in useful for SOMETHING.....jesus Debbie I am STILL laughing at your detective work....I can't help it. Jahnu keeps asking me what I'm laughing at. Even he's laughing now.....holy crap....

  2. I'll bring the vodka! You are too funny.

    ReplyDelete
  3. LOLOLOL... and how many martinis did you have while doing all this tracking? Tell tightwad he is welcome.

    ReplyDelete
  4. LOL! I needed a good laugh this morning. I did the same thing (not to that extent. yours is too funny) until I realized that you can take yourself off of your own sitemeter stats. :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. Very funny. Well, at least you found yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hahahahaha! That sounds like something I would do.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I got some really beautiful martini glasses for Christmas, shall I bring them over?

    I've been pretty lucky not to get any crass or rude comments in my almost two years of blogging.

    I guess I haven't "arrived" yet. LOL

  8. Oh I do love a good conspiracy! Let me at her, VM. NOBODY messes with my Vodka or my Braja and lives to tell the tale.

    ReplyDelete
  9. So did you ever track Barney the douchebag dinosaur down??

    ReplyDelete
  10. I did the same thing! I was thrilled to see someone from Lansdale, PA reading my blog. Then I realized it was me, blogging from Burger King in Lansdale, while I was having Whopper Wednesday with John! DUH Joan!

    I've discovered my kid is reading my blog from Indiana, PA. shit. Now I can't talk about her like I want to.

  11. I had no idea SNARKY came in purple. I always hated purple. It's so LOUD, and garish, and goes with nothing. It's pretentious. It's show-offy. You know what I think of when I see purple? Ugly throbbing things... veins popping out of necks... hammer accidents... loose toenails.... a good upchuck after a bottle of Cabernet.

    Yeah, that's what Purple is.

    ReplyDelete
  12. LMAO....you are so adorable!

    (I've done the same thing, but let's keep that between us, mkai?)

    ReplyDelete
  13. So why did you leave such a nasty comment on your own blog? Oh wait, I get it.

    :P

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hint for novices:

    When making lemonade for "vodka & lemonade" recude the amount of water used by the amount of vodka used. That way it won't tasted diluted.

    Or, just toss s pinch of Crystal Light in a glass of vodka and call it good.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh, and another thing? Purple is sooooooo last year....

    *gadoomph*
    (that was the sound of a dead purple hitting the floor....)

  16. Damn, I'm just catching up on all the "stuff" now! It's a bitch to work too much and miss out on what's going on in the blog world. Some people are just mean and they suck and always will! I work with the public, I KNOW! You have such a good support system on your blog, that has to warm your heart. Have you ever tried "Happy Snapple". I love to mix Pink Lemonade Snapple & Vodka! Haven't had it in awhile, maybe I should make some for work today. You will be fine, you are strong!
    Take care, Sue

  17. It was a real comment, I just couldn't find who LEFT it. I was tracking myself, and not the real commenter. Wait, now I'm confused again.

    ReplyDelete
  18. hahahahahahaha! good one. Only you, my dear, only you.

    ReplyDelete
  19. LOL..I just found this blog yesterday and I love it. I'm just like you..I chase my own tail alot...but you'll probably hear from her again.My husband is a computer networking pro so if ever you want to find her...

    ReplyDelete
  20. I assumed you'd taken yourself off your sitemeter stats. So I BELIEVED you. Now I have to go check my stats to make sure you're not stalking me.

    No wonder you drink.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I am confused but it's early yet. I work in web analytics so I can probably figure out your conundrum if you ever really want to stake out purple.

    no lemonade for me, thank you. Lemon is a fruit and one of my resolutions for this year is to be less healthy.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I had a bit of a nutter on my Pond Parleys blog that caused me to snap and behave very childishly. I swear it wasn't me but more than one person wondered if it was my own marketing strategy. Vodka Mom???......

    ReplyDelete
  23. Serious tracking skills girl! I see a future for you at NCIS...

    ReplyDelete
  24. I still hope you get to the bottom of who this person is and set things straight. There IS a way to find out, but maybe you should let Mrs. Lynch help you ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sounds like the lemonade could use a shot of vodka.

    ReplyDelete
  26. So, you tracked yourself, huh? Good job! Surely withh all your followers you have someone out there who knows how to do this. Me, I would call my son, since he does this for a living...... I call him all the time, so much so that he told me that I should just open a port (whatever that is) on my computer so that he could just solve all my problems remotely. Now if he can walk me through that I will be golden-he keeps telling me he doesn't have time to walk me through.........

    ReplyDelete
  27. nice. i love lemonade...so you chased the weasel back into its hole? did you set a fire?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Part of me loves sitemeter - part of me doesn't bother to even look because I get all weirded out.

    Some people just like to stir things up, honey. That's a low blow of a sucker punch, to be sure - but I'd say, let it go.

    xoxo

  29. Hey Purple... Come out, come out wherever you are. Vodka Mom's posse would live you give you a good talking to.
    Grrrrrr

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh my word. Now that's just funny.

    You chasing your tail that is, not that sniper Purple making a comment about your husband chasing tail.

    I really have no idea what makes people want to drop a big ole dookie on a blog and then run. Chicken sh!ts.

    ReplyDelete
  31. inspector gadget you are not, lol.....I think at this point frget the lemons and go right for the vodka, allthought they do ave vodka with lemon added;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yup, me too, just what I would've done!
    Now I know who NOT to consult when I get a troll...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Haha!! I do believe that now it's time for some revenge. Get thinking.

    I'd love to know what the pseudonym "purple" refers to!

    ReplyDelete
  34. HAHAHAHA!!! That was HILARIOUS!!! I've got an extra bottle of Vodka we never got into from New Years, slapping a bow on it and sending it your way!!

    Dear Purple
    MYOB!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ha! Reminds me of time from a previous life on a submarine when, after hours of tracking a mysterious tonal in our baffles, it turns out to be an offending pump in our own engineroom.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I can't drink lemonade "straight"

    Secretia

    ReplyDelete
  37. Apparently, there's a lot of Vodka in that lemonade. I'm on my way!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Now that sounds just like something I would do!!!!! Wonderful stuff. Trust you, my friend, to laugh at yourself... loved this post. You have managed to erase the yuckiness of The Commenter. Nice one, my friend. xxxx

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh, I've done that too - I mean, mistaking myself on site-meter for a blog-fan!

    Hope Purple is just a mean-minded flash in the pan. Vodka and lemonade? Mmm, thanks, I was hoping you'd offer.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I just recently put one of those tracking counters on my blog... now I'm wishing I hadn't. I stress over it way to much and I haven't a clue how to actually use it... or if it is of any real use to begin with.

    Obvisouly not, as I was about to worry about myself stalking me also.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ha! I guess this is the modern version of talking to yourself (or cloning yourself)

    But, hey after all you've been through it makes sense to be super careful!

    I ALWAYS stop at a lemonade stand!

    ReplyDelete
  42. That is really funny. Mmmmmmm, lemonade.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Wow. You are some Nancy Drew! Seriously, we've all chased our own tails a few times.

    About that wretched Purple, though, I do hope you solve the mystery.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'll be right over for a lemon drop martini!! : )

    ReplyDelete
  45. Lemonade gives me heartburn... maybe we can just stick with the Vodka? ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Are you chasing tail again? I mean...chasing your own tail? :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. What the hell? And I thought nothing exciting ever happened over the weekend in bloggyland?

    Hope you've heard the last of the Purple perp.

    Peace ~ Rene

  48. It's very The Call Is Coming From Inside the House!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I have NO idea how to track where people are reading from. How do I do that?

    ReplyDelete
  50. LOL that is too funny Vodka Mom - that sounds like something silly I would do! Ha! Glad to see I'm not alone and someone else has these kind of days too. Lemonade sounds great as long as there is Vodka to go along with it - ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Well, never mind the detective skills. Being a teacher is soooooooooo much cooler anyway!!!!

    I just want to know why purple calls herself purple. Under eye bags, maybe? Veiny legs? The frequent victim of purple nurpling? It KILLS me that we'll never know.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I hope purple will be vanished forever!

    ReplyDelete
  53. You are my second bloggy friend attacked by losers this week. What's up with that stuff. (Not that other was attacked by the same person...her's was an "Anon".) How rude.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Is this purple person Spam, or what? We could chop her into little pieces...dog food?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Gosh that's funny. Add some vodka to that lemonade!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Maybe we need to have a little bit LESS vodka in the lemonade..otherwise we'll all end up tracking ourselves. And while comical, that would be tragic!

    ReplyDelete
  57. first rule of troll control : don't feed 'em.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow, I see I've been missing some stuff. I've just had a reas back through and WOW. Glad you got everyone watching your back...although somehow I don't think you need it! I hope you find and out her soon :))

    ReplyDelete
  59. Purple just has too much time and not enough vodka. ;) Keep blogging--I love reading!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Purple should probably be green since OBVIOUSLY she is jealous of you.

    I'll bring the raspberry vodka! It makes lemonade taste amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  61. The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!

    Maybe you have a split personality secretly trying to get you to notice her by posting comments on your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Oh boy does this sound like something I would do. I would make the worst detective ever.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Why is it that my reader never picks up your posts? I swear...

    Anyway. You are such the techie, girl.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Damn I've probably missed the lemonade. Next time could you text me in advance so that I could pop over and be first?

    ReplyDelete
  65. ROFL!

    Next time there's a murder mystery dinner theater I suggest you order extra dessert and relax.

    Clearly you are a savant.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I would drive myself insane trying to figure out who it was. I'm way to obsessive. Please, purple, leave me alone.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Now THAT is funny! And it sounds a lot like something that would happen to me.
