And she wrote something very not nice about me. So, in my infinite maturity, I thought to start one and show her how to do it without being a snotty twit. <br /><br />I'm not sure that's worked, however. For one, I'm more of a snotty twit that I ever realized; and two, she has never--not once--read my blog. <br /><br />Might be the whole anonymity thing I've got going? :)The Sports Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975653596215246648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-79051433114403743752010-02-08T18:27:23.255-05:002010-02-08T18:27:23.255-05:00I really have no idea why I started, stopped, rest...I really have no idea why I started, stopped, restarted, stopped once again, and finally started and stayed with blogging other than it's an outlet for the voices.<br /><br />You know, the voices in my head? Maybe you have a similar situation and voices? No? Maybe?<br /><br />Actually, I love the art of the written word, and someday hope to be able to use it well enough to retire to that island paradise with all the bugs and diseases and dysentary.<br /><br />Or maybe just stay at Disney World year round. Decisions decisions. :)<br /><br />Please thank Sam for allowing you to share your wonderful voice with us all. I appreciate it and enjoy reading you.Roger Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831602215904873587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-33479475247713760902010-02-03T01:17:51.513-05:002010-02-03T01:17:51.513-05:00I began blogging to announce our adoption...and st...I began blogging to announce our adoption...and still only blog about our adoption, and Reece's Rainbow.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15477153065173600860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-24978604089234261812010-02-02T15:07:29.866-05:002010-02-02T15:07:29.866-05:00I started blogging in class.

Being the studious student that I was (not) I had my laptop and decided to start one. A few weeks later the teacher asked if anyone had a blog and we had to make one for an assignement. 98% of the people in that class wrote only a few times, before stopping, but I have managed to keep mine going for the last 5 years. Wow that's along time.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652077056817527518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-19514834578467773072010-02-02T10:32:39.721-05:002010-02-02T10:32:39.721-05:00What a great story!

Mine was because I did a search on google something about hating my life and my kids were going to drive me insane while my husband was in Iraq (yes, I did) and found a blog. I liked what she wrote so much and it did two things: 1, made me know I wasn't alone and 2, had me believing I could write a blog too. So I did. <br />My husband probably regrets leaving me alone that first year we were in England.<br /><br />It's taken me a while to realize that is a ball (I get it, goes really well with the post!)and not a lady bug. I think I need to have my eyes re-checked.imbeingheldhostagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771374087307254969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-48775917449150584082010-02-01T21:42:22.651-05:002010-02-01T21:42:22.651-05:00And umm, sorry but hello - MNF?

(I happen to be in the same category.)

Which was also two years ago and I still only have a few followers! hey!<br />CB is someone I knew from real life.<br />I didn't even know what a BLOG was!! When I read hers--actually her old one that she deleted I died laughing and was totally sold. I had been writing occasionally for a local christian monthly magazine. The editor wanted me to write a column and the name of it was going to be Fresh Fixins. I asked her if I could have the name for my blog and the rest is history. <br />I am a total blog junky.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-41650238801347676502010-02-01T16:23:16.228-05:002010-02-01T16:23:16.228-05:00Hee hee!

I fell into this out of curiosity- two people I know sent me emails that they had a blog and I wondered how you got one, searched blogger.com and before I knew it I was signed up and had to stick something on the dang thing, so I figured it beat writing the book my family always bugs me to write, and started telling about the insanity on the blog.Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851446861098955538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-26542059935959200102010-02-01T13:20:13.215-05:002010-02-01T13:20:13.215-05:00that's really funny...i started blogging bc so...that's really funny...i started blogging bc sofia was in the NICU and we wanted to let everyone know how it was going...then i got totally in over my head...and here i am. smilesDanyele Easterhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645625553845575954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-88684976214502881752010-02-01T13:01:08.644-05:002010-02-01T13:01:08.644-05:00Well I suppose we all owe Sam and his obsession a ...Well I suppose we all owe Sam and his obsession a big thank you for setting you off in the direction of blogging from bitterness.

Aarghh, I'd better not get started.) Still though, when was the last time that sort of effort was made to show off our nations poets? Our top surgeons? Our greatest Kindergarten teachers?
