For the faithful readers, Thank you

Topic: One Ramblin' Ranter!
Hey all. I want to take a few moments to thank you guys for reading. I have been having a lot of fun writing these entries lately. I get a kick out of receiving emails from people with comments about the site. Even when those emails simply include a list of grammatical and spelling errors, because at least I know you read it! Speaking of my errors, I have started writing the blog entries in Word to avoid the more common errors that I make. Now I just need to pay attention to the there/their/they’re situations and the pubic/public types of misspellings, isn’t English fun? I am also working on a secret project to be revealed later, those that are in the circle of secrecy know what I mean. If you are not in the circle of secrecy it just means we have not emailed or talked in the last day or so. It’s not hard to enter the secret circle you just have to ask me a question or talk to me and I blab. I like saying secret circle and circle of secrecy, what fun!

So now that I have your attention……

I have started adding a few things on the website to encourage interaction. The first thing I added was a guestbook and a comments button. Then I added the Stewey poll, which was a roaring success with a total of 54 votes. About 40 more then I was expecting. Thank you all for voting. I think Myspace helped out with that, I added a link for the poll and it seems reasonable to assume some people answered the call. Or else you all voted a lot of times, which is fine with me. I then found an event log that you could add important dates such as birthdays, anniversaries, travel plans, national beer appreciation day, green socks day, ‘where did I put my keys’ day, ‘Who took all my money? Oh yeah the government did’ day. Whatever day you feel is important.

So what am I getting at? I like responses, I want to know you were here and you read it. I want you to make this a stop every time you get on the good for nothing (except my site) internet! There are several ways for you to get involved; the first way is to click on the words ‘post your comment (0)’ below and follow the prompts. It is a little tricky but as long as you keep clicking yes and post it will eventually leave it there for everyone to see ‘post your comments (1)’. Then every reader can click ‘post your comments (1)’ and view what you wrote and they can post something too. There are two ways on the main site, the first is the ‘Guestbook’ option and the second option is the flashing ‘Feedback’ button. There is always the old fashioned way of responding to the email I sent out. That works as well and I may start adding those to the site. I would enjoy putting information about other people besides George and myself in here. So, starting today I will be sharing information I hear, unless asked not to. This ends the whiny little girl rant for today. The next post should be more entertaining.

Once again thanks! Pass my link to your friends! If you would like your email or comment to be featured in an upcoming Rant let me know (meaning that I will post it as part of the blog and will respond to it). Please remember that this is a family friendly site, I won’t post naughty things and comments may be censored with the word CENSORED. I have an example “This stupid CENSORED cut me off on the CENSORED freeway today!” I may post it if it’s that type of comment but if it is worse then that it won't make it on here for long.

That brought up an odd thought. I was listening to the radio on the way home today and the people would just use the first letter of the offending word. To my ears it sounded extremely dirty, perhaps even dirtier then the word itself. I have a theory about why, maybe when we all know what the word is supposed to be but all we here is a self censorship it intensifies the actual effect of the word. To imply the word, but not actually say it, lends the word power. That's just my opinion though.

The buttons shown below are the exact same as the buttons that pop up on the actual site. They do work, click them to find out how.
