i should probably tell you that the real fun…
…is in the comments. seriously. because i know a LOT of you (hey mom!) don’t read them.
so, let me introduce you to what happens in these comments, just over the course of the past week or so:
- alece and i get in a conversation that should probably happen via email/IM, but is nearly always relatively relevant to the original post.
- ed/thenor/love – our resident gentlemen – manage to set us straight with funny and/or heartfelt commenting.
- someone will try a little “too” hard to use the word y’all, and i’ll try not to say anything about it!
- tam will make fun of my age or make fun of me or will just say something really really funny.
- kristi will leave rambling comments that start with something insightful and honest, but will ramble on to things like “hi mom” or “am i rambling” or “what did you say?”. who knows what happens in her brain, but i guess her mom reads my blog???
- tracie and i will also get into some rambling conversation. and WHO KNOWS what will come of that.
what’s my point? the people mentioned above (and all the other commenters) make this blog. you make it work. i have MORE fun with the random discussions that come from my posts than i do my actual posts.
if you’ve ever left a comment, thank you.
i heart you quadruple times.
and if you are one click away from leaving a comment, make the jump! it’ll change your world.
::
so. do you read the comments, but not comment? anyone out there? now’s your chance to make yourself known!!!
or do i need to switch to anonymous commenting? any thoughts on anonymous commenting to bring in other commenters? now, THAT’S an idea… hmmm……… do any of you bloggers use anonymous commenting? do you think we should do that over here??
I feel special today because of this.
Oh hey can you teach me how to tag people and umm… make the fun icons besides the smily face one?
Wow. I’m an official “resident gentleman.”
I hope this doesn’t get around.
I might get married someday or something! :8
(That was supposed to be bug eyes, by the way.)
:8
Learned one thanks Nor
Ha ha nevermind I learned the wrong way! I am special…
Stat-h….
Oh, sure. Rub it in, Tam! You ALWAYS got me beat with the…the…the FACEYS!!!
I’m supposed to be cleaning my toilet (I’m on vacation) and here I am glued to yours and Tam’s comments. :8
Heidi – you clean toilets on vacation???
Wow!
i don’t what to say on that one
sorry NE
Of course I do.
I’m a working mom and sometimes it takes me to go on vacation to get
the deep cleaning done.
Sokay. Me forgives “yaw,” Tam!
For ALL your smiley needs:

Heidi: woman… a REAL vacation. get one. soon!
and. is anyone interested in commenting about whether or not “just a girl” should go with Anonymous Commenting???
bueler? bueler?
anonymous commenting?
no
I say yes b/c then those w/o blogs can comment.
I’m still lost too…. is a Stat-ho what I suggested it was or not??????
Red: (michelle – that’d be you) you’re welcome to wander over here as often as you’d like! comment or don’t comment or just hang out and laugh at us!!! it might look random, but we can GUARANTEE that we’re gonna laugh around here.
I’ll come if you don’t call me names…I’ve been Red
the least original, Carrot-Top, Freckles, Four-Eyed Freckled Frog 
, Froggie, Freckle-face Strawberry, Strawberry Shortcake, and Shortie. But my all time favorite was “Mike” which I still love the best…my dad named me Michelle, to call me Mike.
So, now that I am properly introduced…
Michelle: please don’t take offense – my best friend has red hair & i call her red. given that context, its a total term of endearment. besides, we LOVE nicknames over here! and, your avatar screams an aforementioned (but never mentioned again) color?!! so… mike? really? mike is preferred over red?
as for stat-hos, talk to Tam.
Not a fan of Anonymous comments. I think you can leave comments here without having a blog, right? If someone wants to be anonymous can’t they? Or make up a name like “4″ or something?
Brandy: ok ok. that wasn’t nice of me. i’ll explain Stat-Ho for ya. basically, stat-hos are people who live for the stat-counter in their blog. they do whatever they can to increase the numbers. i guess this is type of “blog-prostitution” mindset. so. that’s a stat-ho!
Danielle: i’ll be right back – gonna check my settings on anonymity….
Danielle: my settings are name & email. i guess someone could post with “anonymous” and a fake email addy. but i don’t know if anyone has tried. we’ll see!
i loved, loved, loved this post. and i’m still grinning ridiculously big about my placement on your list.
Mandy, I’m not that sensitive…it was my bad attempt at humor.
I was giving a list of all the possibilities – you can take the most obvious if you like it best, I’ll answer to almost anything.
ooooh a stat-ho huh? haha! So I wasn’t far off in including a prostitute in my guess before. haha!
How many “points” would I earn if I answered Tam’s “WW” question of “what is a stat-ho?” with “tammy” hahaha!!!
Us “under the hill” girls gotta stick together.
Brandy: a GAZILLION points!!!!!!!!!
“Red”: thank you! yes, it was an EXCELLENT attempt at humor!!! unfortunately, i currently have pms, which shades MY sense of humor and makes me very SELF-critical (strange, huh? you’d think i was critical of everyone else. NOPE!). i don’t know why – but sometimes i just get to feeling like i’m a horrible person. so i hormonally figured an explanation would be safe. good to know you’re a jokester and can take it!!
and, to be fair – you can call me ANYTHING you wanna around here, or wherever. deal?
Michelle, I have an uncle that calls me Red and one day I asked him what my real name was b/c I had NEVER heard him say it, and all he would say was “Of course I know your name, it’s Red” and then laugh hysterically. I never got it out of him either.
I WAS going to leave a nice short post – ” Bless your little Southern Cotton Socks!” for thinking of all those commenters AND non-commenters out there in the orig post…
THEN i read comments # 24 and 25.
You under-the hill-girls are just Mean!
Tam! – avert your gaze, Hun! (if it ain’t already to late?
) Remember – you are a Christian like me and you are way above such things!
<B
P.S. Tam – i go to your Blog because of all the Love – I come here just to fix up Mandy’s stats
and give her a 200 plus comment post every once in a while.
<B
i’m wounded
Did I read mandy-pants somewhere??
I totally understand the pms-self-critical-feeling-like-a-horrible-person thing – just wait – it gets worse if you happen to be blessed with premenopausal symptoms.
Brandy, I’ve had that experience too. It wasn’t an uncle but all the kids at church camp knew me as Froggie/Freckles so, by the time we got to college (small church college) I still couldn’t get rid of the name. My then fellow classmates continued to call me Froggie/Freckles. Life can be tough for us redheads – we must stick together!!
Redheads unite!
Okay, I’m “geek checking” myself for that comment. 
Love, I love Tam. She knows it. She loves me too….even now….I think.
haha
Taaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmm…… Your name IS tjho…it’s only fitting. haha
I’m sawreeee will wou evew fowgive me?? 
Mandy, HELP.
Now now Tammy, don’t cry. It’s all in love.
(mandy help me!)
I’m sorry Tam, you are queen, you rule, you are the goddess of the fountain of youth and we bow down to you. Tell us your secret oh great one!
(why do I feel like I am in MORE trouble now?) heehee
UNCLE!!! UNCLE!!!!
Whew, my arm hurts.
heehee
Alece is that your grin face? You may need to work on that…It looks more like a pout. And I also would like to chime in to say that Yay!! I wasn’t mentioned last. Ha ha Tracie…sorry. Okay then.
Love: i owe you BIG for that 200+.
Brandy: i only choose to pick fights that i know i’m gonna win… and i don’t join in with other fighters (who happen to get in a fight when i’m ASLEEP and unable to help!) – so you’ll have to take the Tam monster on your own!
Kristi: don’t let it go to your head. i’m just sayin…
Red:
something to look forward to! as for mandy-pants – like i said, you can call me anything you wanna!
I may need to borrow that apology form.
Ahhhh… Ummm… Errr….
Now i feel guilty.
Mandy-pantsThe Divine Miss (Mrs??) M said she owes me Big Time…Do I tell her about our not-so-cunning ‘plan’ Tam???
<B
Love: you DEFINITELY tell The Divine Mrs. M about your plan!!!!!!!
Yes Ma’am!
Just as soon as i’ve cleared it with The Diviner Mrs H!
- Tomorrow prolly since it’s past my bed-time – Night Y’all.
