Delurking is Delightful!

Delurking is Delightful! A few weeks ago, Sheryl approached several bloggers, me included, about have a Delurking Day. Since I had missed the one that was done previously, I jumped right on the bandwagon.

Now, I know that lots of people read this site. However, my comments don't reflect that at all. I know many people don't like to leave comments if they feel they have nothing significant to add to the conversation, but I say if you think it or feel it, it's significant, so speak up!

With this in mind, leave me a comment. I don't care what it's about. It can be about what you got for Christmas, what you hope happens for you (or to you) in this new year, what color your nails are painted, what color your underwear is - whatever. Just leave a comment. Now that I'm working from home and not surrounded by office mates, trust me, I appreciate every contact with human life that I can get. ;-)

If you'd like to jump on the bandwagon too, go here to swipe your own nifty little button and declare it Delurking is Delightful Day on your blog too!

Hi!

I almost always comment if I have a thought. But there are times when my only comment could/would be "uhhh..."

.: NinaKaye said on January 5, 2005 01:45 PM :: link it :.

I just never have anything to say. When you struggle to maintain the brainpower to breathe, commenting is a big stretch!

.: vern said on January 5, 2005 01:59 PM :: link it :.

I read your blog and an coming out of lurk mode to say howdy...

.: Michael said on January 5, 2005 02:10 PM :: link it :.

you know I'm here... and when need be, I'll be making comments!

.: amancay said on January 5, 2005 02:34 PM :: link it :.

I really enjoy your site. Thanks for participating. *disappears back into the woodwork*

.: Sheryl said on January 5, 2005 02:46 PM :: link it :.

Leaving a comment. Grabbing a buttton from the link. Saying Hello.

I have a lot of lurkers too. When I asked them, a few of them said they didn't feel like part of the group so they were reluctant to comment. All I had to say about that is - well if you never leave a comment, you'll never feel like part of the group!

Don't tap the glass. It stresses the fish.

Okay, am delurking.

I should really do this on my blog - I never get any comments and I would dearly love some - just to connect in some way. I know I have one or two people that pop in - but I am not too good at pushing the blog forward! Maybe because I don't comment often myself. (shame on me)

Hi!

.: Rebecca said on January 5, 2005 03:47 PM :: link it :.

I am wearing blue plaid undies. How bout you?

.: mace said on January 5, 2005 04:20 PM :: link it :.

De-lurking...I read you all the time but I think I've maybe commented once or twice...a while back.

.: allie said on January 5, 2005 04:23 PM :: link it :.

Well I like your idea and I think I'm gonna swipe it. In a friendly, paying homage way, of course. Thanks.
Very nice smileys too!

.: Deb said on January 5, 2005 07:17 PM :: link it :.

this is my generic de-lurking comment: hello my name is girlwonder and i'm a lurker.

.: girlwonder said on January 5, 2005 08:00 PM :: link it :.

I'm stopping by to say hi since it's de-lurker day... so hi and Happy New Year!

.: Carla said on January 5, 2005 09:47 PM :: link it :.

My nails are painted clear, but the acrylic goo has teeny colorful glitter in it that's really pretty.

Happy de-lurk day. :)

.: Lisa said on January 5, 2005 10:49 PM :: link it :.

Dude, I just wish your site would remember my contact info and that there was a scroll bar in your comment window to make it easier to get to the comment box. (Firefox, in case you wondered.)

Otherwise, I comment all the time. Where are my comments from you? Huh? Huh? Do you have an illness? ;)

And I'm not wearing an underwear. Thanks for asking.

.: Christine said on January 5, 2005 10:51 PM :: link it :.

What they hey, I'll throw in my 25 cents worth (I value my opinion).

Just for something a little different here in NE Ohio we are having what is being labeled "a wintery mix" weatherwise. This means snow, sleet, freezing rain, and some regular rain just for fun. Between the overflowing creeks and the downed trees & powerlines life is not dull in my little corner of the world.

.: Howard Hill said on January 6, 2005 06:57 AM :: link it :.

I posted about delurking after reading this and I realized I hadn't left a comment!

Duh!

.: kimberly said on January 6, 2005 11:39 AM :: link it :.

Had to say hi and if your not busy can you shovel my sidewalk? We just got 8 inchs of snow here! White Fruit of the loom undies here lol!

.: Terry said on January 6, 2005 12:03 PM :: link it :.

Better late than never, I guess... Happy New Year!

.: Karla said on January 6, 2005 02:38 PM :: link it :.

:wavey:

.: Harmony said on January 6, 2005 09:21 PM :: link it :.

Happy late de-lurky day, dearie!

.: kristine said on January 6, 2005 09:34 PM :: link it :.

Answers to questions -
1) iPod, new computer, hella clothes
2) Hopefully, I'll find a better job and perhaps become filthy rich.
3) Nails - natural
4) Underwear - black.

Feel better??

.: Christiane said on January 7, 2005 09:03 AM :: link it :.

i read you...i'm a little late on commenting, just getting around to the blogroll again.

.: lyn said on January 7, 2005 04:57 PM :: link it :.

I'm not exactly "delurking" since this was the first time I'd read your blog, but I thought I'd say "hi" too!

.: Bev said on January 8, 2005 09:11 AM :: link it :.

Just on in to tell you that I still read your blog, even if I don't comment so much anymore.

.: Daisyhead said on January 10, 2005 07:36 PM :: link it :.

I'll come out of lurk mode too. Hiya.

.: Khali said on January 13, 2005 12:45 AM :: link it :.

My toenails are a bright metallic beige/neutral color. I don't like it much and the polish is chipping so I think I'm going to go for a rust color.

You're too early! Come back at January 5, 2005 01:19 PM to see this post.
