well i'll be darned

so for about a year now

i've tried to respond

to each comment

that is left

on my blog

each one

i try to answer any questions

or maybe just say thanks for

taking the time

to not only read my blog

but to leave a sweet comment

i try to reply back

just to show you

how much it means to me

& this is usually pretty easy

its not like i'm the pioneer woman getting 800 comments

or anything crazy like that!

many times though

i email back a pretty lengthy reply

i may ask you a question

or 12

& often times

i never hear back

eh hum....kim s.

only to realize the other day
when i was responding from a different computer whose email format is set up differently
that a whole bunch
of the comments
actually connect back to
NONFLIPPINREPLYCOMMENTS

well
not in all caps
& i don't think it has the word flippin
in there
but you get the point

many of you

never have seen all these

millions

trillions

of kind

thoughtful

& dare i say

lengthy responses i've sent

& i just thought you were

blowing me off all this time!

who knew?

well

probably

all of you knew this

but not me

millions of emails

all floating around

out in the

NONFLIPPINREPLY blogger abyss

for crying out loud

i felt like such a dork

so i'm here now

all schooled in the situation

& just wanted to let you know

1. kim & i are all good

she had no clue

& now she has about 2 dozen photoshop, vitamin supplement & parenting

questions to get back to me on!

2. for all the times you left a sweet comment

or asked me a question

{thankyouthankyouthankyou}

& never received an email

i really did respond

pinkie promise

& since i'm getting all this blogger etiquette all squared away

i must ask

you a question

do you know how google reader affects site meters?

if i don't actually go on to someones blog

but just read it through reader

does the site meter still pick this up as a hit?

just curious

oh&ps

i'm totally not saying that comments all need replies back

or that i think that there is an unwritten rule

out there

but i'm wierd like that

& love the contact

the blog world has brought many a sweet priceless friend my way

& its just my little way of saying thank you :)
