So comment already !

Saying for the Day: You can lead a person to a blog but you can't make them comment, or read it for that matter!

---I read on a blog yesterday that today , Monday, is “Everybody has to comment Monday”. I really did read that on a blog.

This is a holiday like Valentine’s Day or Easter. No, forget Easter that’s a religious day. Its more like President's Day except it isn’t yet a National Holiday. I know that because they haven’t closed the Post Office. They always close the Post Office on an official National Holiday.

Congress doesn’t know yet how many people blog or they would declare the fourth Monday of February to be “ You have to Comment Monday”. They would do this because they know that it would make people like me happy.

You know the people who get almost no comments.

I get comments on this blog the way I got valentines when I was a kid and I wasn‘t happy then either.. This year I didn’t get any valentines .Not even a little one from my grandkids but that’s a different problem.

Anyway the fellow who’s blog I was reading thought every Monday should be you have to comment Monday.

You might think that’s a bit much.

I know a blog where they’ve had the same picture of trees for the last two weeks. You blog in there and there are are the trees. How many comments can you leave on a tree?

Hey, your tree is looking just as good this week as it did last. Or I think your tree has dropped a leaf or two since last week.

Of course the guy with the blog has an answer for that. He thinks we could just say “ Hi. It’s Monday “ . He really, really wants comments.

I was told that if you didn’t say something about the content they would treat it as spam. You know where somebody visits your blog just to get them to visit theirs.

I , of course would never do that. But then when I stop in and give you one of my precious content oriented comments I deserve a comment back.

In any case today is on somebody’s calendar “You have to comment Monday” so comment already .

As King of this fortress I have put forth the following royal proclamation.

Henceforth and until the moon dropeth into the sea this day shall be
"Leave A Comment Monday".
All loyal and disloyal subjects will comply under threat of royal banishment to the nether regions of blogdom.

Even comments like I got from the nice lady that said “ You are an arrogant, intolerant S.O.B.” are welcome.

I did have to delete that one though not because it upset me but because it had nothing to do with my blue underwear which was the topic of the day.

6200 spins without a prize. Hapless loser found himself in a mystical time warp this morning. He finished his wheel spinning at Iwon.com and left the site. Then he got the good news that he was again the one millionth visitor that day. He is good at that. He has done that before. that's not the time warp part. He closed out that message and then got one that said he was the 400,000 visitor of the week. Wow. It boggles the mind. Time and space were twisted he was the millionth visitor that day and the 400,000 th that week. In the real unbent world that wouldn't be possible. He knows Iwon.com which is run by CBS would not lie to him so both things must be true. The only way they could be is if somehow due to the electronic magic of his computer time got warped. There is no other explanation .
Do you want to know more my dear Uncle Wiggly lovers . If the time warp doesn't continue causing poor hapless loser to leave the house and find himself in Washington's army he'll be back tomorrow on " AS the World Spins"

The day is young and I have already left twenty first class comments. I have been to three blogs that required I get a special login identity, which I didn't. They got no comments. I also clicked the blog comment space on one blog and was thrown out of blog explosion. Just your average Monday morning. Oh I left a comment on one blog that hadn't blogged since last Monday so my comment was under my comment. How neat is that ?
Betty and I had some of my pepper bread for lunch. It was great. I will bring it to the lenten soup meal.
I updated the church website for March and added a new top ten list. Betty has built two houses and a factory and we are planning where they will go on the layout.
My computer hating sister called. She had been reading the paper copies of this blog I sent her. She was having a hard time telling when I was serious and when I wasn't (never and always). I think she believed I was going to keep my blue underware on all winter. Some poor salesman called and I had a lot of fun before he gave up in disgust. I win if they hang up.
The rest of the day was pretty dull (except for Betty's attempt to keep the roof on the barn) so I will spare you the details besides I need a breathing treatment.
