Letters from the Editor

Dear Subway sammich maker girl,

Did you ever see that movie "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey? Pretty funny. In fact, I think I'll put it in my Netflix queue, just to see it again. The premise is that he has to say "yes" to every opportunity. I'm curious. How much would it cost me to say "yes" to everything you ask me to add; make it a footlong, extra meat, extra cheese, make it a meal, and cookies. Just a guess, but that probably puts the total over $10.

No thanks,
Mmmm...sammichs



Dear fellow bloggers,

Does an inflated followers list bother anyone else? The followers list for bGGG grew almost overnight from 15 to 33, due to my blogfrog visits, but it almost seems like comments have actually fallen off. Makes me wonder if my original 14 don't really care to read blogs with that inflated followers list. Honestly, I think I understand that. There have been blogs with 1,000+ followers that didn't engage me with the first post, so I didn't bother coming back. Of course, bGGG doesn't have 1,000+ followers, but what's the threshold?

Or the quality is falling off. Which would say something because it wasn't all that fantastic to begin with. No, no, don't coddle. I know what I write. ;)

Just a thought. Or an encouragement to leave a comment if you don't usually. However you want to look at it.

Sincerely,
3GK



Dear girlies,

I'm glad I can still make you laugh. It probably won't last forever, but it's nice right now. Like when Bellie got in the drivers seat and I got in her car seat and asked her where we were off to. Or like when I belch and you all yell "EWWWWW!" as loud as you can...in the restaurant...and we all bust up laughing.

Love you,
Daddy




To whomever decided not to put insulation in the saw room addition,

You sir, are a jerk and nearsighted. Sure, it may have saved a couple bucks on the front end, but how many thousands have been spent repairing frozen fire sprinkler heads? And the time last weekend and this evening, not to mention last year, that I've spent dealing with it is pushing my limits. I don't get paid enough for this crap. First order of business tomorrow is to insulate those pipes.

Sincerely,
Foggettaboutyou




Dear trainer people,

Props to you for doing as well as you could with this online slide show training session. It moves along fairly quickly, you have 4 or 5 different narrators, and it's broken up in to bite-sized pieces. But I don't think you can get past the subject. Risk Management is bo ring. And the crummy thing is that since I don't know anything about it, I can't just skip to the quizzes.

Nice try,
*snooze*

  2. 5...5 dollar...5 dollar footloooong! I remember being distracted during that movie by the fact that he seemed to have unlimited funds.
    I know you aren't talkin' to me, because I love to comment :-)
    Enjoy the laughter of the girlies. Soon enough their little eyeballs will be rolling in their heads whenever you speak. Or maybe that's just my kids :-D

  4. I comment when I feel the need... but yeah, I would prefer comments on my blog too, otherwise I feel dejected :)

    I am always reading you, never fear! Sometimes I am in too much of a pissy mood to leave a lighthearted comment...

  5. Hi troll! I mean...Nikki! Thanks for reading.

    laura b - And I love your comments. Eye rolling is already starting, but thank goodness it's few and far between.

    CP - I'll warn you know...it's almost a testosterone free zone.

    Laura - I totally understand that. Let's be pissy together sometime.
