You know Susie<\/a> right? EVERY ONE know’s Susie…if you don’t know Susie, then go get to know her because she’s one of the coolest blog people out there. She takes the time to really make you feel special. She is inspiring. She’s cool. BUT SHE HAS WAY TOO MANY COMMENTS TODAY!<\/p>\n

Susie<\/a> has so many comments that I couldn’t even leave her a damn comment! It took like 12 minutes to load and then when I saw all those comments I freaked out. (Yes, i’m having panic attacks again. No worries…i’m working through them)<\/p>\n

So I read her post from yesterday where she talks about blogging, lists, links, back buttons. I’m not normally a paranoid freak about things…but I think she’s talking about me.<\/p>\n

I know the ‘back’ button is my problem. My mom and sister want me to fix it, but I don’t know how! I hit my back button on my blog and it works…how do I fix something I can’t see that is broke? Susie..and for all of you that has gotten lost in my Hotel California like blog…I’m sorry.<\/p>\n

Links. I have links…I am a links person. Susie made a great point about not having them and I totally agree. For every 5 I add, I have to take off 5. There is NO way I want to have a blog that has 7,000 links down the side. I must remove some. Your name is over there now…but someday it might not be. It’s not because I don’t love you anymore…it’s just that I HAVE TO. There are some blogs listed over there that I don’t read, but if I remove them I will have crossed a serious blogging line.<\/p>\n

What does that mean?<\/p>\n

Like Susie said, “I started seeing people who were sad because they weren’t on so-and-so’s list, or because they got kicked off of so-and-so’s list. And I don’t need that. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings”<\/p>\n

SERIOUSLY. People get pissed when you have them on your list and then you take them off. It’s like you kicked them out of your club or something. OR there are bloggers that get pissed because someone is on a blogger’s list and they are not on that list. It’s crazy.
\nI have thought about taking my lists down, but I can’t. I’m afraid that some people will hunt my ass down and beat me to death with a keyboard if I did. (yes, I am talking about my mom)<\/p>\n

Commenting. I have gotten shit for not commenting on people’s blogs. I have also given shit (ONCE!) for it too.
\nLet it be known, if you come to my blog and you leave me a comment. I am going to go to your blog and I am going to read your latest post or maybe a few back and I will leave a comment too. It’s fair. I might not go back every single day and leave a comment though…don’t hate me. I have five kids and ONE computer. I don’t get to be on this all day you know (yeah right)<\/p>\n

and on a final note. If you’re one of those bloggers that get lots of comments…Fantastic! Please don’t get mad when I don’t comment. I like to comment on the blogs that only get a few comments. I remember what it was like getting a comment after my post sat up there for 3 days. Remember those days you popular bloggers? SUSIE! WHO HAS 70 COMMENTS! hee hee.<\/p>\n

I love Susie…how could you not? She always has something nice to say and takes the time to comment on everyone’s blog. This is why she has SEVENTY comments.
\nOh and the fact that she has celebrities visiting her blog might be a reason too. OR it might be the cool gumby picture.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Go visit her<\/a> and leave her more comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
