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!

SUNDAY SURVEY-AND MAYBE A BIT OF SASS!

I have recently been reading that
BLOGGING is DYING.
I am not ready to agree with that-
although I will say that many of those
that were blogging when I first started
4-1/2 years ago are no longer blogging
so they miss things like this.
But this survey 
is NOT about blogging being dead.
I am working on the assumption that
blogging is alive and well.  So....

Okay-
There are several thoughts about these questions.
I already know how a few of you feel
about these things
but I would like to hear from
as many of you as feel inclined to answer.

Here we go!
Question #1-
When you leave me a comment-
Do you LIKE it when I respond
or do you wish I wouldn't because
it clogs up your Inbox?

Question #2
Sometimes you leave me a comment
and there is NO WAY to reply to you.
Do you KNOW that you are a
No Reply blogger?
(more on this later in this post)
Please know that I ALWAYS respond
to comments with a reply to you.
(unless you have asked me NOT to do so)
I do this IF your email is available.
(Personally, I feel GUILTY when I don't respond)

Question #3
I see there are several bloggers that reply
to their comments right on their blogs.
Do you EVER go back to a blog
to read a reply to the comment you left there?
I never do that.
I just don't have the time.
I wonder if anyone else goes back to 
check for a response to their original comment~
Did that make ANY sense at all?  lol

Question #4
This is something I would like
to know for my future blog posts.

Okay- here goes-
I write about a variety of things.
I am all over the place.
What would YOU like to see on my blog?

Family Stories
Projects
Crafts
Holiday Decorations
Rehab Projects

Decor- Inside
Outside-Gardens & Decor
Recipes

Nonsense
Sorry- You don't have a choice on that!

AND-
Just because I CAN
I want to tell you that I 
HATE Google Plus!
IF you use Google Plus there is often
NO WAY to find you.
You often become a NO REPLY blogger
and there is NO email address 
available for you
AND there is hardly ever a 
LINK back to your blog.
Often when I go to leave a comment
I have to jump through all kinds of
hoops to do so and sometimes,
even then, it won't let me leave 
you a comment.
IF you are a Google Plus user
please check your profile 
to make sure 
that I can find you to say Hello!

So- That's it!
That's my Sunday Survey.
If you have a moment leave me
your thoughts.

I really appreciate every single
reader and every comment.
You guys/gals-whatever/whoever- are 
special people.
THE BEST!

I'll tally up any results and let you know
what everyone else thinks.

The end!
Happy Sunday!
