Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"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

Mr. and Ms. "X" - - - COMMUNicate Please

(1980's indy-comics icon created by Dean Motter)

The other day I ran into Mr. "X"

I hadn't seen nor spoken with Mr. "X" for months, but Mr. "X" began talking to me about rather current things in my "world", and suddenly I realized, Mr. "X" had been stalking on my blog.

Oh, and it isn't ONLY Mr. "X" - - - I believe there are some Ms. "X" blog stalkers too.

I just don't get it. The fun of blogging, as far as I'm concerned, is making community, and community begins with COMMUNication.

It seems to me that all you Mr. and Ms. "X's" must be pretty lonely at your computer screens with no feedback.

Go ahead.

Take the plunge.

I double dog DARE you - - -

Anonymous said...: I agree, I have lots of these. I go to family get-togethers, school and church functions, people talk about what is on the blog. Aaarrrrghhh, why can't they leave comments!; March 9, 2010 at 7:49 PM

Angie said...: I am so glad I found my way to your blog the other day, by way of somebody else's. You're such fun. I hate it when this happens to me, running into somebody local who's been a 'lurker' around my blog. I'm thrown into a mild panic in case I wrote about something where they might have been recognisable to themselves. It's not supposed to be like that is it?

love, Angie,xx; March 10, 2010 at 4:37 AM
Anke said...: I know what you mean... I actually started our blog to keep in touch with our wide spread family, yet they NEVER EVER leave a comment. They tell me they read it, but comment, nope, not a one...; March 10, 2010 at 8:15 AM
Kristin - The Goat said...: Oh so common and yet I think it's kind of fun. I got an email from someone who were my parents friends waaay back when my folks were in the military in the late 60's. The email said that they follow my blog and they were glad to see that my folks were doing so well, happy that I was talking about the family, etc. I now think of them when I write a blog posts - I think of my cousins and other relatives that never leave a peep and I think of my blog friends that do get a chance to run over and leave a comment.

Lurkers beware! I'm blogging for you, too! I hope you like what you're readin' cuz I ain't gettin' no feedback! lol; March 10, 2010 at 12:58 PM
ain't for city gals said...: lol...I thought you were talking about your X-husband??? yes? no?; March 10, 2010 at 1:06 PM
kyooty said...: I haven't had any local hits that I know of. YAY!

Martin LaBar said...: It's just easier to remain anonymous. Some people may have trouble spelling, or typing. But everyone should comment, at least once in a while.; March 10, 2010 at 8:13 PM
Lori E said...: Then there are people like me who blab on and on and on and fill your comment section with all my opinions and stories and tales and ask questions and make jokes and fun remarks and heaps praise on you for your witty posts and tells you how much I love your new banner and wonder where the picture was taken and ................................................; March 11, 2010 at 8:19 PM
j said...: Oh Keetha, you can't make me hush in your comments. I love ya and I love to communicate with you.

Lurking is part of having a blog. I am just thrilled that someone actually wants to read me!; March 11, 2010 at 10:29 PM
Adoption of Jane said...: Found you through "Just Breathe"... Love your Blog!!; March 13, 2010 at 2:47 AM
Unknown said...: There are lots of lurkers out there. I'm not sure why they don't get brave and leave a comment; some of them do not have blogs of their own, and maybe aren't sure if they should or how to comment. Not me....you can't shut me up! lol; March 13, 2010 at 7:04 AM
