A Touch of This and a Bit Of That
Category: Blog Business (snore), NikkiZ | 22 Comments »

I’m going to work on a MANIFESTO after the comments from my earlier post outlining my new views on blogging. I’m so grateful for all of the feedback. I did my best to respond to all of the comments but I may have lost a few here or there. I do want to take a minute to assure the few that were concerned…I have always sworn that I read every comment. And I really do read them. Mainly because they are all important to me and I love to read them. But – If you don’t want to believe I’d be that “nice” or something – then look at it this way: I have to moderate my site. I don’t want spammers or trolls ruining the entries I work hard on, so I read every comment that the system emails me. EVERY ONE OF THEM. If you think yours won’t/doesn’t get read because I never respond, then I hope to change that soon. And I’m sorry you think that.

Of course – along with the many of the commenters I have to agree: I can’t keep everyone happy. But – I am going to try to be better! And maybe I’ll provide snacks in the comments section sometime! Or booze! Or porn! That would totally show I care, right?

Now – on to more important matters –

What?

What do you think? Good solution to getting more work time during my day? I mean – she put herself in there, not me.

  2. Aardvark Says:

    I would like snacks and a cocktail please!

    I was also going to tell you that at first I was really insulted because after all that I STILL didn’t get a reply back to my comment!@ :) But then I checked my spam filter since you said you responded to ALL the comments, and sure enough, there it was. So you may be responding to people and they don’t even realize it if your response ends up in their spam folder.

    Wow, it took me so long to read and respond to the last post that a new entry was posted when I finished! Of course I ate dinner and went to Costco mid-read. That may have something to do with it.

  5. Bev Says:

    You don’t ever have to respond to me again if you’re going to give me beer. Just saying.

  6. Karen Says:

    I have many similar pictures of my kids in crates that look just like that. They love to lock themselves in. Even more fun since we got a Great-Dane-sized one!

    I’ve been thinking about getting one of those toddler leash/harness things now that my baby is mobile and loves to walk everywhere. My husband has suggested (jokingly) (I think) that I could use it to tether her to a stake at the park, so she could run around while I got to relax and read a book. But I think a cage might be an even better option.

    I wonder how many people will e-mail you saying they’re calling child welfare. My son is obsessed with trying to enter our dog crate. If he ever succeeds I will be in jail as it is a mini size!

    I think it is a good solution if you give her some crayons and snacks to keep her occupied. Otherwise, she might rattle the cage and your’s as well. :-)

    Thats so cute! When we had two kittens (brothers, a little older than kittens at this stage but still little) they used to sleep in the garage overnight. One morning I went in to let them outside, and when I went in the garage, one kitten was stuck in the cat carrier cage, closed, with the other kitten standing victoriously on top. I wish I could remember which one was in the cage/on top now!

  12. Monica Says:

    I love it! Where can I get one for my son?!?

  13. Aunt Becky Says:

    I’m grabbing one for my 10 month old! Should keep him in one spot.

    Do you watch Scrubs? (okay, it is seriously one of the best shows ever….) But there is this one episode where the Janitor gives Turk and Carla a crate for their baby shower. He tells them it is a “baby cage! Just throw the baby in there with some cedar chips!”…this is what this picture totally reminds me of. LOL

  15. Z Says:

    That is one great picture! ;)

  16. Hot Librarian Says:

    My daughter loves the dog crate. Probably because she loves the dogs – but they refuse to get in there with her.

    Looking forward to the snacks and porn.

  17. supertiff Says:

    dude. i stop by here probably 2x a day already. if i could get a martini in the comments section? things would get ugly.

  18. Maxine Dangerous Says:

    “Rook, Mama, I’m a puppy!” LOL — great pic :)

  19. Colleen Says:

    Hee Hee…. love the picture.
    She should be fine in there…. just give her a sippy cup and a few snacks.

  20. monkey Says:

    Hey, I got an email from you last night. Thanks for taking the time to respond personally (to all those comments? Eek!). I thought it was very sweet.

  21. Heather Says:

    That is too funny — I have the exact same picture of George! He was about a 15 months old and put himself in the crate at the sitter’s house!

  22. Jules Says:

    Cocktails would be good. I bet everybody would be pretty happy then ;)

    NikkiZ is too cute.
