If you can email it, don’t say it!

I, like the rest of my sidebar buddies, are addicted to comments! I know that sounds crazy, but when I use to use an “Amish journal/diary” to harbor my thoughts, I would secretly wish someone would find it, and read the craziness that was me. Although the entries were usually about weight loss, boys, in-laws, and the like, I still hoped that someone would stumble on it (even tried leaving it out, just in case that person didn’t like to dig for it)! I have a couple of lurkers who are shy about using the anonymous commenter . They either have forgot their passwords, or just didn’t have the time it takes to sign up (quoting “BM” time is far more important - - 1 minute common!). Now, you know I am just yanking your chains! You do have one, right? So, I thought I would reply to your emailed comments via my blog because emailing is so yesterday!

I couldn't resist the facial recognition site -- although I have fears that somewhere on the WWW my face is attached to some grotesque nude body on some porn site. I don't plan to go searching, however. Here's what my face from a year ago generated:
1. Woodrow Wilson -- OK
2. Kevin Costner -- Ugh!
3. Robert Redford -- I'm not flattered by this!
4. Tony Blair -- I don't look like him, but I'm flattered just the same.
On the downside, I forgot to set the gender to male, so I also am supposed to look like Jamie Lee Curtis and Meg Ryan!”

My reply, “Dad, I really enjoy the fact that you and mom get a chance to view our world. It is crazy down here in the South! We are a different breed (did I just include myself…fainting now)! I enjoy your comments as much as Mark’s, because they stem from that intellectual focused side of the self! Keep them coming. I know your work day is hard, even if you get to work in your pajama’s and have access to all the comforts of home (yeah, no public restroom)! It has helped Mark and me to feel connected in some way to your family…much like “Sundays” used to in the Good Ol’ Days. By the way, heritage did a fabuloso job hooking you up, apart from Mr. WW. Kevin Costner, Robert Redford, Tony Blair are all hunks, you should be proud (this is weird coming from your daughter in law huh?)! All joking aside, thanks for your continued comments.

I am amazed as sometimes I don't feel like I can squeeze a BM in the day...........well maybe not that bad. I tried to do the "sin test" - It didn't even give me a chance to explain myself before telling me to "do not pass go....." As I see it, I'm not a bad person to a few, just misunderstood by so many. I didn't find processing freedom but it's time for that BM so time is of the essence. I will become a "member/blogger" so I can post to you both as I can certainly add a plethora of wisdom and insight to your postings (actually just some nonsensical gibberish). Thanks for eye into your life(s) and take care of what's important...........”

My reply, “Randy, thanks for the interest. I am addicted to blogging, much like drinking (not addicted, just making similarities)! Since there resides no “AA” meetings for us bloggers, I continue to “drink this poison.” So forget regularity (BM), it is overrated. Saying that, I just afforded you 10 minutes a day for creating your own blog (longer if your one that likes to take a magazine or book in there with you)! Processing Freedom is located in the May archives! Enjoy that little read (my best yet, so I am told). Come aboard, and use your “wisdom” and or “nonsensical gibberish” for the betterment of our “community.” I would love to have you on my “sidebar” (not sexual at all, I promise)! See, we are all misunderstood by the masses!

Two posts today day and all before noon…Can we say addicted!?!
