OH BABY! Did YOU Ever Have A Lot Of Opinions On My Survey!

Did someone say 

BABY?

I'm sure SOMEONE said

BABY!

~okay-maybe it was me~

Clever, huh?

Is this the cutest BABY ever?

You other grandparents don't have to answer

cuz YOU think YOUR grandbaby 

is the cutest one ever.

but you are SO WRONG.

Yes-that is a WINTER HAT!

It has been close to freezing here at night.

Anyway- 

ON TO THE SURVEY!

Grab your coffee or cola or a shot of gin.

This is a long post and it might raise some hairs

on the back of some necks.

Sorry 'bout that-

Don't shoot the messenger (me)-

I am just relaying the results!

And---here we go----

There are 75 comments

now as I am writing this post..

I deleted two of them because...

well, you don't want to know....

trust me!

#1-

Do you like getting replies to the comments

you leave on blogs?

Overwhelmingly- HECK YES!

A couple of you don't care whether you get a reply.

A couple of you DO NOT want a reply 

because it CLOGS your INBOX.

That's okay with me- to each their own.

I, personally, plan on replying to every comment

(unless you said you don't want a reply)

#2-

Do you KNOW you are a NO REPLY when

you leave a comment?

Some of you that are NO REPLY people have

chosen to be that way.

I get that -life is busy and if you don't want 

e-mails inundating your mailbox- I understand that.

SOME OF YOU were/are No Reply bloggers 

and don't know it.

I take it as a mission to let you know that-

when I can.

A few of you I have NO way to contact....

like Cheryl in Wisconsin.

Love you and your comments, Cheryl but I have

no way to reply back to you....

just so you know I didn't forget to answer you back!

#3-

Do you ever go back to a blog to read a reply?

Overwhelming NO.

Just a couple of you do that.

A couple of you go back to a blog if there is an ongoing discussion there.

Do YOU reply to comments ON YOUR BLOG?

The majority do NOT like it when people do that.

Some of you were 

adamant about it 

thinking it was

rude and egotistical to do that.

I may have removed 

one of those comments that said

just that in quite unkind language.

I would wash your hands out with soap if I could reach you.

(instead of the soaped mouth of the old days)...

which I never DID, by the way.

Some bloggers will add a reply to a comment

on their blog if there is no way for them

to answer a question that the commenter asked

ie-they have no return email address available.

I think that is a nice thing to do

....hope that made sense......

Also- added to this was 

ADVERTISING.

I did not ask about this because 

I know some people

use blogging as an income producing tool.

However, a lot of you 

DO NOT like ads of any kind--

rolling ads and pop-ups seem to be  really disliked

and cause problems by slowing things down.

Most people find them just plain aggravating-

like I said- DON'T shoot the messenger....

Several of you said that you quit visiting blogs

that are filled with advertising and sponsors.

I, for one, will not advertise on my blog 

but then I am not looking to make an income 

from blogging.

I just want to talk at ya!

#4-

What would you like to see in my posts?

I swear you all are a bunch of ADD people

(for those of you NOT in the know-that is

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER)

You said -post whatever-whenever-you don't care-

You like a little bit of everything.

Wow- I bet they had to tie a lot of you bloggers 

to your seats when you were in school.

They never did that to ME.

Nosireebob-

*I was the one at the blackboard with my nose

stuck in a circle that the teacher drew on the board

to show me who was boss.

Yes-ma'am...that WAS me! 

AND-Just about everyone 

HATES Google+.

Hello.....

Are you LISTENING GOOGLE?

It has caused untold problems for so

many bloggers.

A few of you have followings at Google Plus

but even those that do have followings

admit that they have to keep changing their

settings-sometimes weekly-sometime monthly-

but they all get kicked to a 

No Reply status at some point

and need to keep resetting it.

And last, but not least,

you LOVE the nonsense.

No fear about losing that feature.

I have a wicked evil sense of humor.

That does NOT always serve me well...

See *comment above.

MyHero will tell you that

he does NOT think I am funny

most of the time.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

I feel like I am good friends with many of you.

You are really a wonderful part of my world.

Whoever said bloggers are not 

REAL FRIENDS

are stupid crazy idiotic

missing out on a getting to know 

a great group of people!

So-there you have it.

This was a long post.

If you stayed here through it all-

Congratulations-

You are eligible for the 

GRAND PRIZE.

An 8x10 unframed photo of 

My Hero's underwear.

He burned it trying to dry it in the 

MICROWAVE

while we were traveling.
He washed his underwear out in the sink
because he forgot to take spares with him.

Seriously.

See?

He may, or may not have,

set off the fire alarm in the room~

and that's all I'm gonna say about that!
oh-one more thing-
he may or may not have worn
underwear that day.....

Have a GREAT Tuesday!
