Blogging Bug
The blogging bug is easy to catch. It seems harmless at first. After all, you’re just reading other people’s blogs. Then, one day you decide to make a blog comment. This simple comment leads to a regular habit. Before you know it, you’ve elected to subscribe to blog comments on multiple blogs. Other commenters begin asking for your blog address. Next, you start dreaming of starting your own blog. Then, you decide to “go for it”. You start your own blog. Soon you discover blogging is taking more of your time than you envisioned.

(PhotoShop credit goes to Lee. Thank you, Lee!)
Note: When I visited Alicia last week, Lee was not with me. In fact, I have never met her “in real life” (IRL). However, you’d never know it to look at this picture, would you?
Do you find yourself PhotoShopping your virtual friends into your pictures? If you are engaging in such behaviors, you most certainly have the blogging bug.
Are you addicted? I’ll leave such questions up to you. All I know is once you start dressing like this, you probably have the blogging bug. If you have reached the point of being afraid to leave your home because your comments moderation might get backlogged, you definitely have the blogging bug. Sadly, the blogging bug is incurable at this time.
Hey! Check it out! These three bloggers are united in their fashion sense. They are all rocking the same shirt. How cool is that?

OMG! I so WANT that shirt! I could wear it to every PT and doctor’s appointment as a disclaimer. LOL
.-= Endochick´s last blog ..Swallow your GnRH treatment? =-.
We look snazzy in our shirts!
.-= Lee´s last blog ..Workin’ Hard For… Wait. =-.
Jeanne, you look great! I love this picture of you guys! (or should I say y’all?)
Endochick:
I have a sneaking suspicion there are just a few people out there who would like a blogging shirt. You’re right that wearing it could be a means of forewarning people that everything they say or do is “bloggable”. (That’s just a little term I coined a few months back… once I was clearly infected with the blogging bug already). Bloggable is coming up on spell check because it is not recognized as a real word just yet. Wait and see. I predict that word will sweep the blogosphere shortly!
Snazzy Lee:
Thank you so much for your lovely PhotoShopping! Yes, snazzy is a good word for it, I think. You did a snazzy job PhotoShopping!
Stacy:
Thank you! Did you have a wonderful birthday? I hope so! Whether you should say y’all is entirely up it you. Since you are now officially a Southerner, I would imagine you fit in a y’all here, there, and everywhere… no? It is not typically used where Alicia, Lee, or I live since none of us lives in the South but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feel free to use the term y’all liberally. Y’all come back now, you hear?

Jeanne
Yar. I don’t even know what I’m doing. Yet I keep doing it. What am I doing??
.-= K´s last blog ..Better living through e-Books =-.
Hahaha! I LOVE it!!!!!!!
.-= Yaya´s last blog ..Prayers and Positive Thoughts Please! =-.
K:
What do you mean when you say you don’t know what you’re doing? You are busily blogging away, right?
Snazzy Alicia:
Hahaha! I knew you’d LOVE it!!!!!!! You had no idea what Snazzy Lee and I were cooking up, did you? Isn’t that picture just too funny? How did you like the fact that pillows magically turned into Lee?

Now that you’ve read Jeanne’s post warning you about the Blogging Bug, I thought you might find it helpful to know:
THE TOP 10 SIGNS YOU MAY BE INFECTED WITH THE BLOGGING BUG
1. You notice it’s 4 am and you haven’t slept yet but you just HAVE to finish tweaking your second post of the day (because 2 posts a day is better than 1).
2. You haven’t taken a vacation in years because you won’t be able to personally welcome new commenters (you worry that this would jeopardize their return and you would lose them FOREVER).
3. If you HAVE taken a vacation, you brought your camera and laptop along so you could blog about it LIVE. (Wearing your snazzy new T-shirt, of course.)
4. Your spouse cuts off your Internet connection just to spend some quality snuggle time with you (you, resent this).
5. You forget to eat until someone (usually a close family member) puts a plate of food on top of your keyboard and silently backs out of the room.
6. The thought of starting a second blog has crossed your mind more than once a day.
7. Your hands tremble as you fire off a response to the occasional crazy commenter who can’t spell.
8. You realize you’ve been sitting at the computer so long you cannot feel your legs.
9. You break out in a cold sweat just thinking about the backlog of comments awaiting your attention (yet, you are secretly thrilled).
10. Your name and the word “intervention” are often used in the same sentence.
Bless all you bloggers out there for keeping us all informed, entertained, and well loved.
Gyan, Gyan, Gyan…
Wow! You’ve given me so much to work with here. As an aside, readers, I should mention that Gyan gave me ideas for writing this post in the first place. Now look at her. She has outdone herself. Let’s take a look at Gyan’s ‘Top 10 Signs You May Be Infected With The Blogging Bug‘ in an in-depth, step-by-step fashion. Shall we?
1. I must admit that some days two posts really are better than one. Case in point… yesterday. Yikes. Strike 1 for me.
2. This past summer, I went on a 3 night, 4 day trip. (I blogged about my trip HERE and HERE and was supposed to have written the third and final blog post in that chronic travel series long ago but I have yet to do so after many distractions. I really need to do that). I should note that I did not do any comments moderation at any time on the trip. Any new commenters that might have stumbled upon my blog while I was away would not have been welcomed to my blog until after my return. It’s true that I could have run the risk of alienating new commenters and losing them FOREVER. However, I hadn’t taken such a trip in years due to health reasons and I was determined not to blog during my trip. So, I didn’t. No strike for me on this one.
3. I certainly had a camera on my trip and some of those pictures did get blogged (see the posts listed above in step 2). However, I did not use a laptop to blog it LIVE. (Yes, we had a laptop on the trip but that was mandatory since my husband was on call and he had to log in a few times during the trip to do work because that is just how his job is). No, I did not have my snazzy T-shirt on during the trip because I didn’t have it yet. Since I did use trip pictures on my blog after I got back home and since I would have worn my snazzy T-shirt if I had had it then, I’ll count this one as half a strike for me on this one.
4. Hmm. Well, my husband has been known to cause me to terminate my computer use before I intended. I can’t say whether snuggle time was the goal. Certainly there have been times when he has decided to separate me from my computer. I suppose this is another strike against me.
5. Well, well, well. Gyan, you are too funny. ‘Tis true that I have been known to forget to eat because I was so busy blogging. Has anyone literally put a plate of food on my keyboard and silently backed out of the room? No. Actually, though, I have witnessed the noisy (and much less pleasant) version that occurs when a plate of food is set down near me (not right on the keyboard) and I didn’t terminate my keystrokes immediately. Strike for me on this one.
6. Cool beans. I don’t get a strike here. While the notion of starting another blog did cross my mind (long ago), it never happened more than once a day. No strikes against me on this one.
7. Cool beans. My hands don’t tremble when I moderate comments. I confess that since WordPress came into my life, I have had a few occasions where I felt compelled to fix typos with the edit function. I just could not resist the temptation. I’ll say half a strike here.
8. Hmm. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I couldn’t feel my legs from sitting so long (with the exception of my left thigh which is always numb following a nerve-cutting surgery that didn’t go as planned). However, I have probably reached a semi-numb state… if only because my neuropathy screamed at me for being too still for too long. I’ll say half a strike for me here.
9. No cold sweat for me here. Though I can certainly admit if I lost power for a week it might be a different story. The “secretly thrilled to get comments” part sounds chillingly accurate. I’ll take half a strike here.
10. No one has ever used the word “intervention” regarding my blogging. No strike for me here.
How did I do? What’s that? I have a severe case of the Blogging Bug? Oh. I see.
Bless wonderful, funny, witty commentators like you who make blogging fun. They say, “laughter is the best medicine”. I don’t know who “they” refers to but “they” are right. I don’t care if it’s a cliché. Laughter IS the best medicine! Lately, I have been trying to lighten things up a bit when I can because it had reached the point where my blog was getting too serious for me. So, thank goodness for funny people like you who help me laugh in the midst of chronic illness and chronic pain. I know you have your share of health issues and I appreciate your ability to be so funny amidst the adversity. I think it is a great lesson for everyone who is chronically ill.
Thank you, Gyan!
Jeanne
Gyan,
Hahahaha! SO true!!!!
.-= Yaya´s last blog ..Prayers and Positive Thoughts Please! =-.
Alicia,
Is Gyan hilarious or what??
Jeanne
LOVE the line, “Sadly, the blogging bug is incurable at this time.” Props to Gyan for inspiring it as, with everything else incurable we have, tis a relief that one of our afflictions is a good thing.
(|_|*to blogging*|_|)
“Blogging is an art, same as any other method of self-expression.” — Hugh Macleod aka @gapingvoid
.-= Dorian aka coffeesister |_|)´s last blog ..Beauty, Bread and the Beloved =-.
Jeanne — Please tell your hubby that I got his message and would be happy to help plan the intervention party. — Gyan
PS You can check off #10 now.
Hahaha! Oh man, I am right there with you! I love those shirts too!
I’m not sure I want to be cured yet!
.-= Pooba´s last blog ..Kissmas Eve =-.
Dorian:
I agree that the Gyan-inspired line “Sadly, the blogging bug is incurable at this time” is quite appropriate for those of us with one or more incurable medical conditions. As you pointed out, though, blogging is an “incurable bug” that is actually a positive thing. Dorian, I know you are really sick right now and I appreciate you taking the time and energy to comment. Hopefully you’ll get a light at the end of the tunnel very soon! Cool quote too!
Gyan:
Hmm. The secret of staging a blogger intervention would be not to let me know you have been speaking with my hubby. You are sort of showing the cards in your hand. In the future, I suggest avoiding playing poker. Also, interventions aren’t generally called “parties”. I appreciate your concern for my blogging well-being. Love you, Gyan!
Pooba:
So you have the blogging bug, huh?
I’m glad you enjoyed the blogging shirts. I hear you on not wanting to cure the blogging bug.
~~
Jeanne
Hold on, we’re doing an intervention? Let me book the flight… This should be interesting. LOL
Also, not only is there no cure once the bug has bitten you, there is no vaccine to protect you from its bite. So, if you’re oblivious to the world of blogging you’re best bet is to just stay off the computer and stay away from someone who blogs.
.-= Endochick´s last blog ..Endometriosis & Suicide: a post for awareness =-.
Endochick,
Oh dear. I’m afraid you misunderstood. You see… Gyan was misinformed. There is no intervention. If there were, it wouldn’t be common knowledge before its occurrence, right? No, she must have heard wrong or something. Now, I would love to see you in person! Don’t get me wrong. If you want to delay the start of grad school to visit me, let me know. I know where the airport is. I’d pick you up. (A blogging intervention would be interesting, though, wouldn’t it?)
You are too funny! You are also correct about there not being a vaccine for the blogging bug. I would also have to agree with you on the last statement. The enthusiasm can certainly be contagious.
Jeanne
Jeanne
Hee hee hee. Your post is hilarious!
KK
alohamorakat,
I’m glad you liked it!
Jeanne
Endochick, go ahead and book your flight. Sadly, in light of what you just shared, I will not be able to attend Jeanne’s “party” as I cannot hang out with a roomful of bloggers. I might catch the bug and before you know it, I’ll be moderating comments instead of simply making them.
Jeanne — You are right. When I play poker I only bring $20. It takes about half an hour to lose it all. I don’t have much of a poker face.
You guys are so lucky to live near each other and have Lee morph by.
Still wanting me one in midnight blue, with sparkles.
alohamorakat rocks, just so you know — but I have the feeling you clued in to that when (and before) she came onto the scene.
xoxo
.-= Jannie Funster´s last blog ..Funny Typos, “Like A Bord on A Wire,” 14 =-.
What a great picture!! I don’t have the blogging bug in that I don’t get many comments and don’t always comment on all the posts I read, in fact thanks to bloglines I read far more than I find the time to comment on… but I do find myself saying to Tim “quick, take a picture of this, it will make a GREAT blog post” and the like… hehe!
.-= Amanda´s last blog ..Fantasy Worlds =-.
Haha, what I mean is that, I’m blogging away alright, but should I be? Like, what right do I have to speak? I have no credentials to my name. What direction am I going? What do I think of this or that? I don’t know all the time.
.-= K´s last blog ..Better living through e-Books =-.
Gyan:
Well, if indeed we were discussing a party, there is no way we could have a party without you! I can understand your apprehension about hanging out with bloggers in light of the fact that you don’t want to get infected with the blogging bug. (I know that you do not have a blog). While this cautious approach is admirable, I must say that your Top Ten list smacks of one infected already!! While you may not have a blog, you clearly have been spending enough time associating with bloggers to know how they think and what makes them tick! Otherwise, you could not have written that masterful list. So, my guess is that you are already somehow infected with the blogging bug. Perhaps you’re a carrier. Wow… I had the correct hunch regarding your poker face, huh? I see. Well, when this “party” occurs someday, we’ll have to avoid poker games altogether by spending time on wall-to-wall blogging. How does that sound? Those who do not have a blog can collaborate with those who do. The brainstorming should make for stronger posts. Sound fair? There is plenty of blogging to go around. I would be honored to have you on my blogging team at the blogging party.
[Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that I would not transmit the blogging bug to you if we blogged as a team... but, again, I think you are already infected].
Jannie:
Yes! Alicia and I are lucky to live near each other. Most definitely. Yes, it was wonderful of Lee to morph by and join us, wasn’t it? Hmm. I’m not sure what to tell you on that. I know they do not carry midnight blue with sparkles. Wait a minute. I thought you wanted midnight blue with SNOWFLAKES? Yes, I am sure I remember envisioning a shirt that would match the background of your blog. Well, as it turns out, it doesn’t really matter whether you said sparkles or snowflakes because they don’t carry either. However, I am sure an expert furniture painter such as yourself could be crafty enough to somehow magically morph the black T-shirt into a shade lighter (I keep hoping you’ll read Harry Potter soon to work on your magic) and then sprinkle the shirt liberally with some type of sparkly or snow-flaky material! It might not be machine washable from that point on but I’m sure you could handle it. Right? As far as your brilliant observation that alohamorakat rocks, I couldn’t possibly agree with you more! As you astutely ascertained, I did know how much alohamorakat rocks long before any comments were made on any blog. Your omniscient wise eye strikes again, Jannie!
Amanda:
I’m glad you enjoyed our fun T-shirt picture. Oh Amanda! Whether you have the blogging bug is not dependent on the quantity of comments you receive. Nor does your blog reading to blog commenting ratio necessarily prove whether you have or have not contracted the blogging bug. That last line actually sounds indicative of a case of the blogging bug.
Perhaps you have a milder case? However, after witnessing your recent daily posting of videos with you reciting your beautiful poetry, I would actually lean more towards a moderate case! While you may not post with this same frequency at other times of the year, the fact that you posted as often as you did in December leaves me wondering if you do have the blogging bug! Perhaps you have it and just haven’t been diagnosed yet? It’s possible. Some conditions are under-diagnosed, as you are all-too-aware. So, you may want to stay open-minded about whether you have the blogging bug. I wouldn’t want you getting a false sense of security.
K:
Why not? You have as much right for your voice to be heard as anyone else, right? After all, there is no accredited program in “blogging”. So, what credentials would make you feel you have a right to speak your mind?
Many people claim to be experts in this or that – when they are no such thing. Other people doubt themselves even though there are people who are interested in hearing what they have to say. As far as I know, you are not pushing treatments on people (i.e. “practicing without a license”)… or trying to get people to buy a product falsely claiming to cure something. Sadly, there are plenty of people on the Internet doing one or both of the above! You have a right to speak your mind. As far as what direction you are going in… only you can decide that. Every blogger I know asks herself questions about where her blog is headed and what its purpose is. (There is no gender bias intended here… I just don’t know any male bloggers well enough to know their thoughts on this subject). The fact that you are not always sure where you’re headed next is really not so unusual. I think most bloggers experience feelings like this on occasion. I don’t think it makes a person any less “worthy” to blog (having such questions at times). In fact, it can be a sign of a healthy introspection that can improve the blogging experience for all. So, don’t sell yourself short. I wouldn’t get hung up on “credentials”. Since some blogs are serious and others are silly, since some blogs are goofy and others are educational and since the very term “blogging” encompasses such a wide variety of topics, formats, and styles… I think it’s tricky. Blogs are misunderstood by many. Relatively speaking, they are still pretty new. Serious/educational blogs may be dismissed by those who see blogs as a medium of “for fun only“. Funny blogs have an important place on the landscape and are no less important than serious blogs; they should not be dismissed because the content is not serious. Sometimes, I think of blogging as an art form. What suits the reader may depend on the reader’s needs, life experience, mood, support system (or lack thereof), opinions, taste, etc. You have as much right to speak as anyone else.

Jeanne
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
Gyan,
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo? What do you mean? Everything alright? Speak to me.
Jeanne
I do NOT have the blogging bug nor am I a carrier. I am merely a kominter.
Gyan,
Hmm. Have you verified this with a bloggerific doctor? I’m still unsure. I do know that you’re a welcome commenter!
Jeanne
Gyan,
You clearly have the bug. Come to the dark side – ahem – I mean blogging side – we have cookies!
.-= Endochick´s last blog ..Endometriosis & Suicide: a post for awareness =-.
Endochick,
I agree that she has the bug but what’s this “dark side” business? I like to think of blogging as enlightening. Let’s call it the “light side”.
Cookies? What? I want one.
Jeanne
Darth Vader, er, I mean “Endochick” you cannot lure me to your Dark Side blogging with your tasty cookies. Now, dark chocolate might work. — Gyan
Gyan,
All longing for dark chocolate aside, I still maintain that blogging is not the dark side. It’s enlightening. If I am not mistaken, Endochick is a Star Wars fan. So, she will probably appreciate the Star Wars reference. Although I highly doubt she will revel in being referred to as Darth Vader. I’m guessing she would have picked any character but him. Granted, her comment about the dark side opened up this whole avenue of discussion. However, I think we need to find her a new nickname. How about Cookie Monster?
Jeanne
What the… cookie monster???? To clear things up, and for future ref, my fave star wars character is Yoda and my fave Sesame Street character is The Count. And to clarify, yes that was sort of a Star Wars ref. Sorry, I’m a huge geek. I can’t help but show my true colors
But there is this shirt my son, a HUGE Darth Vader fan, loves. It reads: “Come to the dark side – we have cookies”
.-= Endochick´s last blog ..Endometriosis & Suicide: a post for awareness =-.
Are you sure Gyan? Those cookies are really dark… and by dark I mean dark chocolate chip….
.-= Endochick´s last blog ..Endometriosis & Suicide: a post for awareness =-.
Haha, great post and comments – too funny Gyan
.-= Jasmine´s last blog ..Migraineurs: Have Happier Holidays with Routines =-.
Endochick — Are you SURE that t-shirt isn’t yours? — Gyan
PS Send the cookies to me. Send the cookies to me. You want to send the cookies to me…(the dark chocolately chippy ones, not your blogging bug cookies)
Jasmine!!!!! Yet another place to play and connect. I’m going to hippity hoppity over to your blog and leave a komint 4 u. — Gyan
My snowflakes are gone now, but replaced for the moment with for “Salmon Sunset Skyflight.”
Maybe Harry Potter after we’re done the Laura Ingall’s Wilder, reading the set for the second time, on the 4th of 9 now.
– From Jannie, of international expert furniture painting renown.
.-= Jannie Funster´s last blog ..Funny Typos, “Like A Bord on A Wire,” 14 =-.
Endochick:
I apologize for mentioning Cookie Monster when you prefer The Count. When you mentioned cookies, Cookie Monster just came to mind. It is helpful to know that you are a Yoda fan. I knew without asking that you didn’t want to play the Darth Vader role. I knew you had a thing for Star Wars, though.
His T-shirt ties together Gyan’s Darth Vader reference AND the cookies! What a funny shirt he has!
Endochick again:
You’re back. Hmm. You just can’t stay away, huh? Oh, look at you… talking cookies with Gyan. How cute. You two and your dark chocolate. How sweet! No pun intended.
Jasmine:
Hi! Nice to see you!
These comments have been cracking me up. Gyan is hilarious! That is for sure.
Gyan:
Endochick assured me that she desperately desires a blogging T-shirt. So, I don’t think she has one. Or were you talking about the Darth Vader & cookies T-shirt? Who knows? Maybe she has one of those too… even if she prefers the Yoda character. You never know. As far as cookies are concerned, if Endochick is sending them out… I would like some too! All of this talk about cookies is making me hungry! Endochick, I hold you fully responsible for me thinking about cookies non-stop now. Gyan, you don’t honestly think Endochick would send you “buggy” cookies to infect you, do you??
Gyan again:
Wow! You can’t stay away either. Look at you. I re-assert that I believe you DO already have the blogging bug. I am not a licensed blogging bug diagnoser, of course. Yes, it’s nice to see Jasmine! Isn’t it? I believe I made the right decision to leave Twitter but I do miss seeing some of the people I talked with there the most. It’s always a pleasure to see Jasmine!
Gyan, I am guessing that Jasmine has not yet met Blue Bunny and may not be familiar with komints and kommints. To be perfectly honest, Jasmine probably just thinks you can’t spell now. Jasmine, Blue Bunny is the virtual blogging assistant to Jannie Funster. We now know that BBB (Blue Bunny’s Brother) is my virtual blogging assistant. If you ever happen to visit Jannie Funster’s blog, you may see comments made by BBB with an avatar of organic orange carrots. It was all supposed to be top secret but word got out that BBB is with me. If you look up BBB on Blogger, you can see his whole profile. It tells about him being from Lettuce Town and such.
Jannie, of international expert furniture painting renown:
Jannie! We were just talking about you, Blue Bunny, and BBB. Perfect timing. Did you really melt the snowflakes?
Is the salmon sunset what melted the flakes? I will have to check it out. I didn’t realize the death of the snowflakes was that imminent. I mean… I knew you were contemplating a change but I thought the snowflakes would survive (at least) January. Well, I’m sure the replacement blog background looks smashing. I will have to drop by soon. I’m afraid it may be a little bit before I do… as I am having trouble keeping up with posting comments here and I already have many blogs that I owe a visit to. Did you know there are not enough hours in the day? Of course you already know that. Silly me! That was a silly question. I swear someone took a couple of hours out of each day lately. You can be sure I’ll be there ASAP, though!
That’s awesome. We haven’t read those yet but we should. With Harry Potter, I had instituted a “read the book before you can watch the movie” rule. We have not followed this rule for the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, though. We have been watching some Little House on the Prairie DVDs. Oops. Now I feel like we’re cheating. I didn’t enforce my own rule uniformly. Hmm. I’m feeling a little guilty. That’s awesome that you’re reading them again. Yes, we too have revisited what we finished (Harry Potter) a bit but I have been trying to diversify things a bit.
Jannie, I sent you an email with more details but I’ll just say here that I thought of you today when I went on a tractor ride. Yes, my husband offered me a tractor ride in the snow (it’s four wheel drive and doubles as a lawn tractor and a snow-clearing tractor). It made me think of your post with the Motoski on the grass… in reverse.

Jeanne
I just noticed with great joy that I am top commenter then, sadly, realized this is likely a sign I am infected.
blogging bug,
blogging worms,
isn’t it the same, maybe not?!
I am somewhat addicted, for positive and fun reasons.
what a blog of humor!
loved the smiling faces of three of you.
.-= jingle´s last blog ..Listen To Wisdom of Sages =-.
Gyan,
Congratulations on being #1!!!! It feels good, doesn’t it? I tend to agree with you that your “great joy” at this discovery truly does appear to be a symptom. I maintain that you do indeed have the blogging bug. Perhaps you have a different strain than what I have. Just because you don’t have a blog does not necessarily mean you are not infected. I am sorry to hear that you are afflicted with a bug. At the same time, there are much worse bugs one can have. As Dorian pointed out earlier, this is one bug that can actually have positive effects.
Jeanne
Gyan,
Your comment about THE TOP 10 SIGNS YOU MAY BE INFECTED WITH THE BLOGGING BUG was hilarious! I don’t think I have the blogging bug yet.
KK
KK,
I agree with you that Gyan’s Top 10 list is quite hilarious! Her levity is welcome here since uninterrupted chronic illness blogging can be gloom and doom without some humor to break it up. I agree you seem like a bug-free commentator… at this point, anyway.
Jeanne
jingle,
Welcome! I just now discovered this and one other comment you made (to another post) that had both been diverted into my Akismet folder. So, I’m sorry for the delay in posting the other comment. I see that you are a reader of Jannie Funster’s blog. I love her blog!
I’m not sure if the blogging bug is a worm or not. I do know that it is quite prevalent. I personally know many people who are affected by it. Those with the bug are affected directly obviously. However, their loved ones tend to be affected too. So, it’s important to look at the big picture and acknowledge that it affects many people.
Yes, blogging is addicting for positive and fun reasons. There are certainly much more harmful addictions one could have.
I’m glad you found this post humorous. I mainly write about chronic illnesses and chronic pain but I think it’s important to add some humor occasionally. I don’t want my blog getting so serious that it’s a chore to read it!
It was fun seeing the finished product of Lee’s PhotoShopping with the T-shirt picture.
Thanks for stopping by!
Jeanne
Wow, I’m gonna have my bath, and answer this at the library!
Oh, what WILL I wear???

Well, since you’re in Texas it should be pretty easy to choose your attire. For me, on the other hand, it’s a 10 minute process just to bundle up and venture outside into the tundra.

I’m baaaaaack.
Oh, and Jeanne!! My sister has pix up on her site, a post or 2 ago, of current day snow skiing on that mobile!
Sweet.
Watching Little house is nothing like the gorgeousness of the books, imho. But they may not be for everybody

And Gyan! My left hip was numb yesterday.!!!
.-= Jannie Funster´s last blog ..Updating Her Nursery Decor, Chapter 2 =-.
Jannie,
So nice to see you! Why are you talking like Arnold Schwarzenegger?
I will have to go check out your sister’s site. It’s 1:23 am now. So, I may not get there tonight. You be sure to remind me if I forget tomorrow. I don’t yet have Rosann in my regular rotation of blogs to check. Need to develop that habit. Thanks for letting me know! I look forward to seeing that…
You are inspiring me re: the Little House books. Thank you for reminding me of that. I’ll keep reminding you about Harry Potter and you can keep reminding me about LH. How does that sound?
Help me out. Maybe I missed a comment along the way. You are telling Gyan that your hip was numb why? (Sorry your hip was numb, BTW). Did you eat too many dark chocolate cookies and it went straight to the hip, numbing it, perhaps?
Jannie, it’s always a joy when you stop by. Sorry your comment got stuck in moderation today. If it’s any consolation, they all did! Thus, me posting this at nearly 1:30 am. I need some sleep soon!
Jeanne
All,
This was one of my favorite posts ever. Thank you all for making me laugh!
