What you like most about being a blogger?
It helps me stay sane.  Being a SAHM in a tiny provincial town I find it hard to connect with the usual Soccer Mom types who live here.  Being able to reach into the internet and find kindred souls has been a godsend to me.

How many bloggers have you met?
Let's see.....2--Sonya Ann, Tanner and  now deceased collector named Sonny so far, though Judy has been threatening to come visit me for about 9 months now. lol
I have met a whole bunch of TY toy collectors going back to 1998 in person, both at a convention and at 2 private gatherings of collectors.  I also visited one of these collectors were she lived in MA about 14 years ago.

Do you ever go back and read your old entries?
Not usually.  I will reread entries if I am going to refer to them in a new post, to refresh my memory.

Do you share your job skills here?
Job skills?  I ain't got no stickin' job skills.

Have you changed your views about anything thanks to blogging?
Yes, that there are many many people in the world who are more screwed up than I am. lolz
I am not the lost case I thought I was....or maybe I AM. ;-)

Do your coworkers know about your blog?
Well if I HAD co-workers they would be sick to death of me mentioning my blog I am assuming. lol


What advice would you give for successful blogging?
It depends on why you blog.  If you are blogging for yourself and your family, to record events in your lives, then just write whatever you feel like and don't worry about entertaining or pleasing others....oh, and be sure to take lots of photos too.

If you blog to entertain others or to be a show-off(and I suspect everyone who does this has a little bit of that quality in them, even if they deny it vehemently), keep it frothy and interesting.  Your reader should be able to say, after reading you, "I laughed.  I cried.  It became a part of me."

If you blog primarily to connect with others, just be open and accepting of whom and whatever comes your way and embrace it.


What is your opinion of aardvarks?
I hear they do best cooked low and slow and taste a lot like chicken.

Do you publish everything you write ?
Hardly!  You should see the mass quantity of  unpublished "drafts" in my queue.  Can't publish them for one reason or another but I have a hard time jettisoning them into space.  Yes, I hoard on a digital level....

If you could make ‘three rules’ for blogging, what would they be?
1# Publish frequently and don't be afraid of putting your thoughts out there.  And don't "pigeon hole" yourself.  Write about whatever you feel compelled to.
2# Always respond to your commenters....HAHAHA.....I really NEED to follow that rule!!!
3# And please, TRY to spell words correctly.  Grammar I am not as much a stickler of, but spelling?!

Do people help you write your blog?
Only the spirit of my long dead doggie, Mango.

Who are your blogger super-heroes?
Gee, I don't know what that means but I like blogs that make me laugh mostly.
Who can't use more laughter in their lives, right?

Final question (if you dare!) :
Have you slept with any of your fellow bloggers?
No.  Well I DID sleep at Sonya Ann's house but not in the bed with her.  I think Den might have objected.....or gotten too excited at the thought of it. bwwaaahhhhh!
