Blogger: Well, I am pretty busy, but I understand you have a few things to say and thought I could help you clear up a few issues.
Sherry: Yes, as you know [you know everything, kind of like OZ in the Wizard of Oz], I am fairly new to this whole blogger gig and I have come to learn that it is freakin enormous!!! I literally had NO idea what to expect.
Blogger: Well, it has really gained in popularity in the last few years, the numbers are HUGE!
Sherry: Right, so when I started, I figured it would be friends and family, because I really could not figure out how other people would know I was doing it. AND...as usual, I did not read up on how to do it. I am really bad with directions, and after just getting the basics, I was all "OK...I can do this, I don't need to know anymore".
Blogger: Well Sherry, I hope you have learned your lesson. Your old enough to know better than that.
Sherry: Hey dude, we don't have to bring my age into this. I already have a husband who tells me those very words ALL the time. So back off buckwheat.
Blogger: Simmer down there cowboy, can we get back to why I am here please?
Sherry: Yes sorry, you just touched a nerve. OK, what I wanted to say [and please do not roll your eyes] is that in the beginning when I would receive a comment on my email, I would hit reply to send a follow up email to thank them. I thought....
Blogger: What? Are you for real? Did you not read that it said "no-reply"....
Sherry: Hey, can I finish please?
Blogger: Sure, this ought to be good [loud sigh]
Sherry: Cut me some slack, I never got one back, so I thought it was some crazy blogging phenomenon.
Blogger: Yea, well I am sure a lot of people thought you were SO rude by not answering their questions.
Sherry: I get it MR. BLOGGER....my bad. I feel really stupid that I did it for so long and did not figure it out sooner.
Blogger: OK, enough wining, I have things to do so we need to wrap up this little party here.
Sherry: Of course MR. IMPORTANT PERSON [said under my breath, "somebody needs to take you down a notch"]. That last thing I want to say is a HUGE thanks to all the people who have featured me on their blogs Emily from: emilyaclark.blogspot.com. Rhoda from southernhospitalityblog.com. Michelle from mynottinghill.blogspot.com. Abby from themancheskys.blogspot.com.
Blogger: You said it little lady! Come on, interviews on blogs can be boring with out pictures. Wrap it up.
Sherry: OK OK.....I hear ya. Thank to everyone for all of your comments and please know that there are replies somewhere out there in cyberspace. I WAS NOT IGNORING YOU.......if that is what you were thinking.
Blogger: We're done here, this was painful.
Sherry: Bite me.

Sherry this is great. Oh you are so right there is so much to learn in blogland and I am on the learning curve with you!!! Very cute way to get your message out there!! If you have a chance come by my blog today, I have a post up called Whats in a name. It has been really fun to ready why bloggers named their blogs what they did. Leave a comment and tell me why you named your blog design indulgence, if you have time and feel so inclined, Happy Saturday,Kathysue
Sherry, you are so funny! And I have to tell you that I thought we were the same age: 30ish. I was SHOCKED when your last post said you had a step-daughter in her 30's! You look so much younger!
I am so glad you joined the blogging world. I'm still learning every day, and I look forward to countless more posts from you!
Haha, Sherry! Yes, there is SO much to learn your first year of blogging. I think I spent a ton of time looking up how to do something, the behind the scenes stuff of blogging. Thank goodness, I don't have to do as much of that anymore. Hang in there!
Cute post, Sherry!
It gets better with time, trust me!:-)
Happy Weekend!

Wait, I'm sure I've received lots of emails directly in response to comments left. Tell you what, why don't you hit reply to this one and I promise to tell you if it arrives??
Sherry, you're a hoot! I feel like I don't know what I'm doing either :) Now, I'm wondering if people get my replies. That's how I always respond to your comments. . . Hmmm.
That is too funny. Yes, there is a lot to learn on here for sure. I do wish people would remove the no reply from their comments and then you can reply right back to them.
