I see that you are trying to correlate visitors and commentors! LOL! I am a bit befuddled that I do not get more comments because I know that I have dozens of visitors on any single day. And I usually have the same friends that leave comments. I look forward to your analysis and thoughts on the subject!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-64069618952970538162010-03-27T20:36:45.884-04:002010-03-27T20:36:45.884-04:00My Aunt sent me over, and since she is so wise, I ...My Aunt sent me over, and since she is so wise, I will do as she says. <br /><br />As far as comments, I find that I am addicted to them and they interrupt my day. I have turned them off.

Comments are special, aren't they? It helps us know that the effort we're making to share with others is working. When I lost your blog address, I missed it all year long and was so glad to find you again. Visiting your blog is a very special time in my day.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397087180636686873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-9307862697989003512010-03-25T20:00:10.151-04:002010-03-25T20:00:10.151-04:00Daily comments are stalking?

I don't blog daily, so that doesn't happen to me but if I did and I got daily comments by the same people I'd be thrilled by their friendship.<br /><br />As it is I have to write less blog posts to keep up with comments, and visiting blogs I like, and I always feel guilty if I miss a few in a busy week. I do like to keep blogging fun and not have it feel like work.<br /><br />I never watched LOST but my daughter LOVES it and is quite sad this is the final season.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-42237792131521493592010-03-25T12:22:21.165-04:002010-03-25T12:22:21.165-04:00I don't think of my readers and those who comm...I don't think of my readers and those who comment as stalkers at all!

And yes, if I don't take time to leave a comment, my comments drop, but I have stopped worrying re numbers of any sort. That includes the scales, by the way! I have never commented on every post - it depends on what I want to say! Then there are a few bloggy friends with very few readers, so I try to comment to encourage them. So essentially, no hard and fast rule. I am just relaxing and enjoying what I manage to get to, and spending time with blogging friends. The reading, as I have said, never stops!<br />And you, Miss Vee, are one I never ever miss!Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141761866483224572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-13637086121906294142010-03-25T01:46:30.280-04:002010-03-25T01:46:30.280-04:00I had to give myself permission long ago -- being ...I had to give myself permission long ago -- being the mother of 3, teacher, pastor's wife, taxi service, artist, etc. -- that there was no possible way to make it to my favorite blogs everyday. Nor would I expect all my favorite bloggers to make it to my blog everyday to comment. And on top of that, now Blogger won't even update my feeds properly so that I can even know when my favorite blogs are updated. <br /><br />Yes, you definitely have too much on your plate to be doing all that! And believe me, I love comments too. But I do have to maintain some sort of sanity. :) I never have been much for the "tit for tat" thing, anyway. And I'll still visit whether you comment or not, just because I love your blog and feel you're a kindred soul.<br /><br />Love, <br />ChristiCharm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-75068640998526611552010-03-24T20:20:36.531-04:002010-03-24T20:20:36.531-04:00What...no comments from Vee?

That looks like something I would love to watch at Christmastime in it's entirety.<br />As far as comments, I love to read them and try to give them as often as I can. I will admit to reading many blogs where I don't take the time to comment, but if the post really speaks to me I will comment. MyLettersToEmily makes a good point about stalking. I hope you decide to resume commenting after your experiment :)Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-12252797962337171082010-03-24T18:45:00.815-04:002010-03-24T18:45:00.815-04:00Yes, Lea!

When we were in Hawaii for my brother's wedding three years ago, EVERYONE (I mean that...all 16 people) in the large cottage we were sharing stopped to watch the show and were amazed that Audley & I didn't watch it. Of course I couldn't imagine being in Hawaii and sitting and watching TV so we went out! ha<br /><br /><br />I do have to say, I love comments. I don't blog to get them, but it is fun to connect with other people out in blogland. I also have my favorite places to visit and love to say hello. I don't know, when you have moved 11 times in 14 years, living in 6 states through that process, It's kind of nice to have somewhere that stays the same. <br /><br />Happy Wednesday to you and enjoy LOST tonight!<br /><br />JenJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873081089753668041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-23724468815904840762010-03-24T16:47:53.800-04:002010-03-24T16:47:53.800-04:00In my foggy head right now, you make perfect sense...In my foggy head right now, you make perfect sense!

Guess what? YOU are one of them. I've enjoyed reading your blog for over two years now. You were one of the very first to come and introduce yourself and I have found you to be a completely lovely person & friend inside and out! Why would I want to miss out on any of that???<br /><br />I try to visit people that visit me, but sometimes it's next to impossible with my busy schedule. Other days, I don't post, but just go round and visit, sometimes leaving a comment or two, sometimes meeting new people. I try not to get into the tit-for-tat mode. I can't keep up - my life is just too busy. And I have a few emails of my favorites and will keep up that way.<br /><br />How in the world did this comment get so long? So, dear friend - you do what you must and God bless!!!

Usually the blogs that I comment on frequently just have a special connection. There aren't that many. I can't keep up with hundreds and hundreds of blogs...so some I just read for pleasure and rarely comment on, others I leave messages nearly daily...<br /><br />As for Lost. Warren and I are trying to "get" it. He, more than I. This year we are watching it on the computer at our convenience as we are not always home on Tuesday nights. <br /><br />As for my "cryptic" message today. Some neat things and some very hard things are happening in our lives and those of family. Boy do I wish I could blog them...but I would have to get way to many permissions first. Its not worth it. However, seeing God's Hand in the middle of everything is reassuring for those parts of it that are scary and sad.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Becky K.Becky K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531485758141842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-47617622760153109002010-03-24T15:55:56.633-04:002010-03-24T15:55:56.633-04:00I love comments!

Especially from blog friends like you.<br /><br />To me, if comments make you uncomfortable then you can choose the no comments option.<br /><br />I did have to go to moderating comments because of a few trolls here and there (who made it uncomfortable for all of us).Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.com
