Quotes of Note
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown
"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell
"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010
"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"
"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer
"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"
"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

That is not nice. You know what we have to do. Bring up your page of followers and take a picture of it. Then one someone is missing you can go stalk them!!!! I am really sorry, would a hug help? ((HUGS))
It's possible that someone stopped following you, and is still reading, but by some other means. So far as I know, I don't follow anyone (but I appreciate the 20 or so people who supposedly follow me). I subscribe, using Google Reader. There are other ways to follow a blog. I used to use Bloglines.
Well, It wasnt me. I kow a good thing. If its any consolation to you, I think there is a problem with the feed sometime. I wouldnt sweat it. Who couldnt love Keetha?
Aw, don't cry Keetha. Hey, I know, let's have a wake! We could start a Wake Meme. Everytime someone loses a follower they could do the Wake Meme and everyone can come over and mourn with them. Am I morbid or what? Seriously, I need a life! Geez.
Haha, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lose people too and wonder what in the world I could have said or done to cause them to go through their list, find my name and click on "DELETE". If you promise to never delete me and I promise to never delete you then we can always be sure that we will always have at least one blog friend forever! :)
I thought maybe this was a picture of a grandkid and I wondered what in the world happened! LOL I thought maybe you had cooked dinner for them or something! ha!
Well, if I lost one of my 25 followers or the 42 I have on Google Reader, I'd be really really sad. The only problem with Google Reader is that I have no idea who they are. I just get a number.
I'm sure it was a glitch, but it's so nice to know that you are paying attention!
Read your have been sick. Hope you are feelig better, my friend! Hope you have a great week. Stop by my place if you get a chance and ffel up to it. Would love to have you visit. HUGS! Leigh Tales from Bloggeritaville www.lbratina.blogspot.com
maybe its something as simple as they decided to follow you annomonysly (sp? - sorry i know you are a teacher but these comment forms don't have spell check LOLOLOL)
I think people change their pics and stuff around in their google accounts and they disappear. A day or so later they are back, new and improved. I will say every time I post a slightly off color joke, nothing terrible, just a little off...I lose someone. Sigh.
23 Bits of Witty Banter:
Ha! I do the same with my subscribers. Earlier this weekend it was at 132 and today it was at 123. 11? really?
*big wink*
Ohhhh, that stinks! Not nice at all! :(
Oh sweetie, it wasn't me! And maybe it's just a goofy mistake. How could HM lose 11 people? That's just odd, don't you think?
I couldn't go to work sick! I'm too big a baby!
How rude of someone to unfollow! It wasn't me. :)
I guess I will have to join your club. I had 150 this morning, but now I have 149. I hate to think I offended someone and they left.
Me too but lucky you. Poor me with only 31 followers. You should celebrate with the 110 followers!!!
I'm with ya'. I do the same. Then again, I may lose a couple after that post the other day. ;)
That is not nice. You know what we have to do. Bring up your page of followers and take a picture of it.

Oh no! Sorry that happened but your true blue followers are here to stay!
How dare they?
Oh boo...that WOULD be cause for grief!! I'm hangin' with ya!! (I'm up to 22 now!!)
