I have been doing some more thinking about the blogging rules I set a few months back. I have decided to add some more, as I have gave this some long hard thinking, when granted I should be thinking about other things, such as cleaning, working out, trying to get this world peace thing figured out; and the list goes on and on....
So anyway, this is what I have come up with...Agree or disagree, don't really care.
first up, do not expect people to comment on your blog if you do not comment on theirs. I have been cruising different blogs and trying to find some fresh new ones to read because I am giving up some that I do read out of boredom. And I have noticed lots of these ones I have been looking at complain about comments, but I notice they don't leave comments on anyone else blogs...
Every single blog I take the time to read, I take the time to leave a comment. If you want the same treatment, then you should do the same...Im just sayin.
Next up, again I am on the word verification. we don't need this people!!! Today I went to one of my favotire blogs and I had to try 4 dang times to get the letters in...I am not doing it anymore. If you can not handle a few spammers please rethink this. And if you notice, not many spammers are out there like they were a few months ago...Plus you can delete it people..It is easy. A heck of a lot easier than wasting 4 tries to comment on your blog....I love leaving comments on my favorite blogs..I look forward to it, I truly do, but when I have to re-do this dang word thing because what I thought was a W was really to V's...I don't have the time folks..Sorry..
On ward now, if someone takes the time to come visit your blog that does not normally stop by your place, or is brand new to your spot, you should really take the 5 minutes and go tell them thank you for stopping by. This is how new bloggers get traffic. Go back maybe one or two more times, and if you do not like their blog, by all means you should not go back...But give them a chance and stop by and tell them "hi"
I will stop now, I am sure I will be getting some strongly worded e-mails on this, and frankly, I don't care anymore.
**********
Today Old Mother Hen took Meg Ryan spawn shopping with her. Meg said that grandma had bought her some cereal, among many other things. I ask my mother what cereal she bought her. My mother says
" Kix, the kind that is good for kids but bad for rabbits."
" huh, you lost me, you bought her rabbit food?"
" no the cereal with the rabbit"
" oh, trix..Silly rabbit trix are for kids."
" yes that one."
**
then my MIL calls last night and leaves a messgae on our machine and this is what she says..
" I just wanted to let you know that I accidently dropped my cell phone in a cup of tea, so dont call me on it ok?"
This is the gene pool my spawns were born into people:-)
*****
I have a question. Is it within the means of the law to want to kill a doodle. It seems my toddler spawn has a very unhealthy obsession with Dora the explorer. She is constantly dancing with her Dancing Dora doll, then combing her hair. She freaks out if I turn the channel if Dora is on. Today she ran up to me with the remote ( I was wanting to watch The View). She throws it at me and says " momma, Dora, boots...On..On...On"....
So I give in and turn it back on, she claps her chubby little hands with glee. She sings the songs, says her very funny " swiper no swiping"....This baby has me wrapped around her sticky little fingers.
I must read the same dang Dora book to her 20 times a day, and we must pretend to talk to Dora on the phone ALL DAY.
So is it ok if I put a hit out on a little , chubby Latino girl with a pot belly and a football shaped head?
Just wondering...I will share the reward.

I am so glad that I am not the only one who is bothered by Dora's head! By the way, the password combo is Love-You.
sandy,
I was going to ask you that..I tried getting in the ohter day and I thought you banned me..haha
ok Bav,
you have brought up some valid points there...I will think about this and get back to you..haha
Of course all my fav blogger buddies may be excluded from these, and you are one of them..so no worries:)
OK I totally hate the word verification thing. I agree with your rules for the most part, can't think of what I may not have agreed with but there is bound to be something. If you kill Dors something even more irritaing will take her place so be careful.
These are alot rules. Hmm. Can I just be exempt from it all? I would really appreciate it. I can't tell if I'm in or out on this one. :)
And, regarding Dora, your little one is too cute. All I can really say more on this is---I'm just plain tired of our children thinking they own the tv altogether. This. close. to getting rid of the damn tv!! :)
Have a great day. :)
Great rules ... guess I will go and turn that danged word verification off ... you've made a good point. Have a great day, Meow
I turned the word verification - thingy off ages ago - they annoy me too, and didn't want people to leave my blog annoyed. w and vv are hellonwheels..
Hi by the way - came here via Anne or Suzie - don't remember anymore... ;)
I turned my word verification off too, so hope you're happy!
My girls are Dora crazy too.....I've seen so much Dora....I'm all for it. You hold her down and I'll do it!!!
Now we'll all know who dunnit if Dora being bumped off is the lead in on the 10 o'clock news!!! Still need to set up my blog so I too can turn off the verification thing.
karin,
wait you THINK you agree with most of them?..haha. I pull this shit out of my ass you know?LMAO..
and your very right, something more annoying WILL come along..
Marel,
since you are one of my oldest blogging buddies you are excpemt, plus I dont even think you have the word veri on yours..I could be wrong..I am this. close. to getting rid of my tv too..I tell u what;)
Coolchic,
heavens I did not want to kill you..oh no, so is that a bad thing that he read it?..you got me all worried now sugar..haha
sam,
hmm, I dunno if you have it on or not, I dont remeber..if u do..turn it off..LMAO..
PBS is big here too..my 2 year old loves her some dragon tales, SS, and Clifford..
Melis,
haha, did u just call me lazy?..LMAO..I am working on the Dora thing, trust me.
JD's rose,
well I am glad you agree with me. I need some back up I think..LMOA.
you let me know when you have thought about the Dora thing, I mean it is not like I wanted to kill the Aussie natinal treasure The Wiggles..LMOA..( I am in love with the blue wiggle, everyone knows this)
:)
Meow,
yes turn it off, it is for the good of man kind I swear:) have a good day yourself too;)
Nerdine,
hello, and I am glad you see my point on the whole word veri thing..it is a pain in the rear end..thanks for stopping by, I will over to visit you as soon as i get these spawns on the bus:)
Mandi,
ok, you will hold her down?..Thank you, I can get in some good kickes if I dont have to pin her:)..I am glad someone else feels my pain on the Dora thing:)
Just Tammy,
well I think you will be held under the code of " friends dont rat frineds out when they doodle kill"..Im just sayin..
yes, get that blog started and get word veri off..thank you:-)
I love it when you surprise me;)
Christina - you are so hard to read. I mean, i can never tell how you really feel about things...you really need to express yourself better ;). ha! i agree on the commenting thing. I have commented on several blogs that i visited, people on your blog role i might add and they have NEVER taken time to come to mine (or at least not leave comments), but then for every 2 or 3 of those not so nice bloggers there are several people I have made new blog buddies with :).
Kish,
so your saying I shoud be more blunt then?..heehee
doesnt that piss you off? I have had that happen to me a few times, I hate it..you can really meet some nice new blogger buds that way too..I guess some think they have enough huh?..they dont know what thier missing, and its thier loss..well thats what I tell myself anyway..LMAO
Rulees, shmules...
Sorry, but the verification stays on my blog. I hope that doesn't keep you away. Am I one of the people that you are bored by???
Sometimes, I might have time read posts, but I do not always have time for a thoughtful comment. That doesn't mean that I am not reading regularly, though.
I'M just sayin...
(you know I think you're great!!)
OK, OK, I'll turn off word verif just for you! You are the only one that reads my blog so I guess I handle it...LOL
I'm so glad Bug doesn't get into Dora like that. She's like that with ANY princess movie. She has to wear a princess dress and tiara at all times. Sad part is, I tried to push Dora on her for something different and she just didn't take the bait.
Robin,
haha, you are not one to follow by anyones rules are you?..heehee...I do not mean you, I will even stae the ones I am bored with here under my blogroll they are as follows ( they will be gone soon, too lazy to do it now)
lump and the beast, he hasnt posted since way before chirstmas
old hoss
dooce ( need i say more)
amleki ( she hasnt posted since nov)
oh I forget who else now..but I love you, I commnet everytime you write a post:)
denise,
your cracking me up..I am not the only one who reads it..
well take it from me..dora equals headache and singing of songs that cause adults to want to put a bullet on theier.......foot;)
I haven't had the word thingy since November and haven't gotten a single spam comment.
So kepping it would just be to be annoying.. Or because you don't do as you're told.. *lol*
d,
ok dont get me started on Ruby and Max...where the hell are the parents..that ruby is always giving that max a bath, making his dinner, taking him shopping to buy clothes..where the hell is momma rabbit?..sure you see granny someties...these bunnies need rabbit protecive services if you ask me..
funny bout your ex..our poor kids and their nasty little gene pools we have given them;)
Nerdine,
haha, I havent mine on since sept I think... I dont mind me a little spam, like d said, it can be funny sometinmes..LMAO
MOT3G,
did you take it off?..Iw ill have to come make sure you aint lieing to me..haha...the funny thing is even if I have these shows on for the toddeler, the 2 older ones get mesmorized by it too..must be some kind of mind tricks..you no they are playing games with your head when a 9 year old boy will sit and watch blues clues..
D-D-Dora. I hear the song in my sleep. I hear it when I'm awake. Noah can be six rooms away from the tv and know when those first little bongo sounding taps happen, he's in for 30 minutes of bliss. I on the other hand am thinking Dora could easilly be gagged by the MAP and stuffed into her little purple BACKPACK...fill those little red boots with cement and call it a day.
I was happy to see that I am innocent to most of the offenses you've discussed. I wouldn't want to be a target of your wrath.
Frankly, you scare me.
(hardy har har...)
anna,
give me one reason whi I should NOT kill Dora..LMAO.
Felcia,
your right, you are innocent to all my charges...
what is it with dora anyway, she is bossy, her parents let her go on all thes trips UNSUPERVISED and with a dang monkey...
oh no, I dont want you to me scared of me felcia, your the only frined I have here in MN..hahaha
Fine Christina, just come on out and NAME ME! I KNOW I'm a slacker on my blog, you don't need to point it out for the world!!
Dora huh?? When I had little babes it was BARNEY!! And I'll put up with Dora a hell of a lot better then Barney ANYDAY lol Just count your blessing on this one lol
sassy,
nope, your no slacker to me..I named the ones I was tlaking about..haha, I am notshy:)
barney, ugg, my oldest was into barney breifly...maybe i should take them both out;)
If you are taking out Dora - please take Diego with her...the little tunes on that show are just as bad.
The Rules...now I agree with most - but sometimes I have nothing witty to say (okay I never do), and everything else has been said - so what do you suggest that I say?
Momma,
trust me Diego is next honey.."say click, take a pick"..yup hes going down too..
I dont mean leaving commneteshere, I just mean the people who coplain they dont get cooments when they dont leave any...which does not apply to you, i see your comments all over..you always show the love..and a little secert..your blog is the first one i check everyday:)
jd rose..
Laughing My Ass Off..LMAO..
dont feel bad, I had no idea what some of these things meant till a few months ago:)
You never fail to crack me up. I have been wondering what consisted of proper blog etiquette ever since I started blogging back in, oh...I think it was August, but I haven't yet taken time to look into it. I actually got complaints from people before I turned on the word ver, though I too, HATE word ver! Sometimes I think I am going cross-eyed trying to make sense of those funky rearranged letters. I will consider shutting mine off now.
As for Dora, my best friend got my SON a Dora doll for Christmas. *sigh* (I am so fed up with all the Dora re-runs on Nickelodeon that my son insists on watching.) I've told him that's the only girl that's going to be in his "crib" for the next 16 years...
double oh know,
well I am glad to serve as your daily crack up..:)
I about busted a gut at you telling your son that is the only female he can have in his crib for the next 16 years..now that is funny girl..haha
Angie,
I know what you mean about having nothing to say...I admit I dont leave comments if I dont have anything to say..not against the person, just I have brain farts alot..
word verfi sucks..and I never get it right the first time..myabe its just me though...
Oh give it up lady - you know I (Heart) ya! I was just letting Melis know we don't all have as strict of rules as you do....ha ha ha ha ha...
I don't think I've ever been to your site, but I found it through Judy's Blog and was very entertained while reading today's post. :)
I feel the same way about Dora...yes...it is educational, and my tots can speak some Spanish...but Lord, have mercy! Why is her head like that???
And her VOICE....SOOOOOO...ANNOYING.
Whew...glad I got that off my chest.
if you are looking for a new blog to read...I have two..check 'em out.
Take care.
Kendra
momma,
um, I was just giving you a hard time..you know me, always trying to stir up trouble..heehee..I heart you too
<3..( get it, its a heart)
Kendra,
thank you for stopping by...
yes my kids have learned some spanish too from dora, amung other things, but goodness sake..she drives me mad:)
i'm adding one more thing, that sort of offends me. and that is offensive avatar's. do what you want on your own blog, but when you comment on other peoples blogs, they might not appreciate offensive avatars, off color pictures, nudity, or swear words. i think it's rude and insensitive to have those. like i said, do what you want on your own blog, but be polite when on others spaces.
umm...i just came by to say thanks for stopping by!!! i agree about the comments. i always leave a comment when i stop by a blog (well unless i already commented on the most recent entry)
But peeking in and not saying hi, is like snooping in someone's window and not saying hello. It's just kinda rude, I think.
but who cares what i think ;)
suzie,
agreed there honey..
mrs diamond
heehee...i agree with you there..i mean if you care enough to check others out, give em a shout out right?
:)
I agree that people should go to others' blogs and leave comments. That's part of the fun of blogging!
I have considered taking the word verification off. Maybe I will try in one of these days. I think that that one time that I got about 25 spams at once really ticked me off. I hate spam!!
Also, I agree people should go to someone new & visit their blog and at least say "Thanks for dropping by my blog."
I get your rules, honestly I do and I would hate to lose you. I know I have become one of the boring ones, but I have been very busy between kids, shrink, excercise and so on. I promise to do better. As for the word verification, I love it, mainly because I hate spam. I hate spam. I hate spam. Hubby likes spam, he likes to fry it and put it on bread with mayo (read puke here). I also hate anonymous chickensh*t posters who have no clue as to what they are tlaking about....
Shew... So anyways, yeah Dora has a humongous head, must have hurt delivering her.
Is that why you haven't been visiting?? LOL.
I promise I'm not neglecting you my sweetikins :) But don't feel bad, I do that to everyone :)
hee hee, I am so bad. I am a using-blog-reading-no- commenting blog whore. I promise to try harder! Plus, just for you, I am going to take word verification off. BUT if those effing spammers get too crazy, I'll put it back.
So, there!
:)
