and I could eat them all
WHAT? Are your comments not the scratch and sniff kind like mine??
Wow, you are missing out.
.
.
.
I'm baffled....
I'm confuzled....
But what's new, right?
You see, I do a lot of blog hopping during the week and I come across some amazing blogs.
Blogs with great stories (REAL STORIES), Blogs with kickin' crafts, Blogs that make me laugh, Blogs that make me cry (STOP IT!).....
In other words, there are some real CRACK-A-LACKIN good blogs out there.
That's the great part.
The not-so-great part is that when I go to leave a comment I notice little to no comments.
WHY?
Yes, Yes, Yes
I know that there are 100's of new blogs popping up every day (blah Blah blah).
You can't keep up with them all.
I KNOW THIS.
But some of us never even visit new blogs.
We go to the same ones day in and day out.
We leave comments on the same blogs all.the.time.
STEP OUT!
You may just find some new blog to stalk.
(Dig?)
DUG!
And while I am on the whole "comment" topic...
Do you leave comments?
I can't tell you how many times I have heard a blogger say "I just don't have the time to read other blogs." or "I don't have time to comment."
Let me get this right . . .
You have a blog yet you don't visit others?
However, you desire other bloggers to visit and shower you with hits/comments?
Now I am not going to sit here and say that I am perfect (close but not completely).
There are some times when I just don't get around to each and every comment.
I get darn close though.
It's just a common courtesy.
These folks are taking the time to read our blog posts and comment.
Shouldn't we do the same?
Oh, and before you go all COMMENT CRAZY . . .
Read this post from Scary Mommy, How NOT to comment.
Not all comments make us spit out lollipops and walk on rainbows, just sayin'.
Hey Hey Hey.....That's not all folks

My mind sometimes goes blank when I go to comment! I have all kinds of things to say about certain posts but I have a hard time putting them in writing sometimes, so I end up deleting and not publishing. Thanks for sharing the link to Scary Mommy, it was very entertaining!
I LOVE getting comments myself. =)
I'm a big commenter. If I read a post, I'll comment on it. There are days when I can't keep up and I just don't get to do much visiting (like hubby's days off)but for the most part, I really try to visit a lot of blogs.
You're hilaroius! Comments ARE like candy bars, I have to agree. Although I personally don't reply to each comment I get, I read them all and I love them all and I try to reply to my post to reply to the comments I get. Phew. Hope that made sense. I have a list of blogs I read daily/often, and sometimes I forget to visit a blog I'm used to visiting and then I feel terrible! I think I'm pretty good about leaving comments, though. I love commenting! I can't NOT comment, you know? :)
Just found your blog and happened to find it on the day you talked about venturing out to new blogs. Ironic, huh?
That is my comment.
I also love comments and candy bars.
I'm reading your post about comments and I get to the bottom... and there are no comments! What gives? I view and comment on A LOT of blogs on almost a daily basis... most people do not comment back - do they read their comments? I read all of my comments and always try to return the favor (if they have a blog). ;)
LOL Kim! My mind goes blank all the time.
Like right.this.minute
I really did have something witty to say but for the life of me I can not remember.
: )~
So do I get a candy bar for my comment? Or did I miss the gist of this post!
Hee hee - first time commenter on your blog! Popping in to say hi and that you are hilarious!
Let's not go overboard, Sarah.
I am not good with sharing the candybars.
I will give you PUFFY HEARTS and imaginary LOLLIPOPS though! Is that good enough? hee hee
I try to comment when I can- but these days I'm lucky just to get all my blogs read, since I've now got a newborn and a toddler to wrangle all day. But I do love comments on my own blog and don't get many of them, so I need to be better about commenting on others' blogs.
I'm certainly not best at commenting, thanks for the kick in the butt. I'll definitely work on that. By the way, this post and the "how not to post" are hilarious! Have you ever considered stand up? :)
I would even like it if some comments were just smiley faces. :) At least you would know someone was there and how else do we know we are on track if we don't get comments.
A big thanks to you. You give me good comments.
Hey I just left a comment a minute ago. Where is it? It was my best work yet! You would have laughed milk out your nose. That is, if you are drinking milk. If not you would have just laughed and snorted a little.
Once in awhile, I start to think that nobody is interested in my idea's on my blog. I can spend a week preparing and have 1 comment. Once I got 500 hits in one day and only two comments. Comments are what keep bloggers blogging. So I agree, if you like a blog and what it to exist for a while, leave a comment. If you are totally blank, dito anothers comment or leave a smiley face.
Look at you Melissa, Two comments in a row!! You are rockin' and rollin'.
LOL
Congrats on the $100!!! I was so excited when I found money it's like getting a present you didn't expect!
Have a great day and btw- I love this 'no comment' post! :)
Kim
Wow, I really need to find a plug in for scratch & sniff comments. I would definitely have to go for coffee and chocolate scented :)
here is my two cents:
http://www.tiarastantrums.com/2009/05/do-you-have-nice-blog-manners.html
i am a super lame hypocrite. have a zillion excuses (mostly read blogs from my phone with one hand while feeding the baby, hate to type with one hand, hate the stupid word verification.... blah, blah, blah.) but thanks for the reminder. i will be better, comment better. until I too am dooce-y. making 40g's a month from ads and never visiting any other blogs while I sit in my cool house full of free stuff counting all of my money.
look at you. commenting on your own comments. i quit. can't keep up. off to crawl in a hole and cry. and eat candy bars. since that helps. for a minute.
Oh now you just made me hungry for some chocolate! Gotta go I'm on the hunt for some candy bars! oh and ya know I just love all your funny face photos! They crack me up!
Great post!
;)
I love this (of course,) and thanks for the shout-out! And, no, I don't think Dooce has ever visited another blog. I think she is officially no longer a logger, but a celebrity. I've never seen what's so hot about her anyway.
I totally agree with you - its nice to get bloggy love!
Your blog is hilarious!!!! I am one of those people who doesn't comment enough, but I will be better about it now :)
Now I'm craving a candy bar! ha!
I would love for people to comment on my blog. I have a few - very few - good friends who do, but other than that, I must just have the readers who read and nothing else.
I'm a big commenter, too! I LOVE getting comments on my blog, and I figure others do, too! I agree with you - you can't expect to get comments if you don't give 'em!
I agree, comments = candy in my mind :)
I do try to comment on other blogs as much as possible - I figure, hey, if I love 'em, I'm sure practically everyone else does too!
I love to comment. Especially if I really love a post. I wish more people would leave comments on my blog, hopefully in time, this will change as I have only been blogging for a few months.
Ummm....Candy Bars....
Great, now I want one. maybe two. :)
I know the feeling, I can't get enough comments!
You are hilarious! I try to leave comments for new blogs that I come across, but sometimes things come up with the kids. I read the blog, then shut my computer! :( I am so coming back though! :) GREAT BLOG!
Yumm...candy bars and blogs. Perfect combo!
heatherdemke(at)gmail(dot)com
So true! We all need to know there are people out there reading and enjoying our chatter! thanks for the post!
You are too funny girl! I like your blog and your hair bows over at the Vintage Pearl Blog too! Cute stuff!I love love love getting comments too! I just started blogging about one month ago and am enjoying every day of it! :)
funny! found you through vintage pearl and i'll def be following you.
I love finding new blogs and leaving comments. This was a great post and now i want some chocolate.
I just found your blog through The Vintage Pearl and you had me laughing so hard!!! Can't wait to read your future posts and go back and read some of your older posts! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who gets really excited when I receive a comment on my posts.
I am loving your bows and cannot wait until you have your site up!!!
Linda,
You're new blog is so smart & funyn! Glad Erin (Vintage Pearl) reminded me about your lovely bows. Good luck with the new shoppe!
YOu made me smile today! Thanks!
OMG you are too funny! I am adding your blog to my reader!!

Linda,
I would love to win a hairbow for my precious granddaughter, Madasyn Shae.
Love your blog.
as I said, HIGHLY ENTERTAINING!
I can't believe I just read through all 40 comments.
and I will be better about commenting, promise :)
I'll comment for you! =) I try to comment whenever I can, although I don't always do it consistently. I have 57 followers on my blog, but my average of comments per post is like 1. Or none. =( But oh well! I'll be cheerful about it! =D
I love reading your blog ... except ... everytime i do i have to run to the bathroom cause u make me laugh so hard i almost pee in my pants!
i like comments too but .. did u say candybars????
Love, love, LOVE it!! It's so true.
My latest pet peeve? People emailing me practically begging me to do a plug for their book, their fundraiser, blah blah blah. Are they serious? You want me to advertise for your book...I've never heard of you and there's nothing in it for me to write a post about you...ugh!!!!
Sorry :) Had to let that one out! Ha!
Thanks for the links--I agree with everything!
so funny! i came here because you commented on my blog! So thanks for that.
I love to comment and my husband actually thinks i'm a bit obsessive and weird about that so thanks for the encouragement :) ha!
Happy weekend!
oh girl, you are funny!!!
i really am just starting to branch out...i've been blogging since january and i'm still feeling new to this whole thing!
my blog is Life in My Ark...my little boy is noah and it is mostly for him, i'm not so good at keeping up with the baby book...online is much more fun...
anyways, i found you through A Vintage Pearl and i'm loving your stuff so far!!! can't wait to read more of your blog!

I'm guilty of reading blogs and not commenting. My lame excuse is I don't have the time, but let's face it, if I have the time to read it, I have the time to leave a relevant comment or at least a thanks for the information. I'll going to make an effort to comment more often on the blogs I read. Have a wonderful weekdend!
This is so funny! I try to leave comments, but I find so many new blogs, I would be on here all day! I do admit though, that I could take a little more time to make someones day!
I am still cracking up at this post! After I got your comment on my blog I had to come back over and revist you! ;) Great metaphor....comments are yummy like candy! You are hilarious!
I like this post and your blog, I just found you. My kind of gal, you are funny and sweet! I comment all the time of some peoples blogs and never once have they commented back, I hate to admit that if kind of bugs me! Thanks for sharing this!
too stinkin' funny - I hate it when people will always read but never comment...we all love some comment love, right? best wishes with your new bow site!
I love this post. I comment all over the place and even have a list to remind me of who to follow up with but I get no love in return.
It bums me out but I just keep on givin the love. I think I have a comment loop of around 2 weeks but at least I get back to my favorite blogs and comment every two weeks.
Maybe I just stink and thats why no one says anything:)
I love leaving comments to let someone know that you were there, you enjoy their posts, and that you didn't just accidentally pop in and x out. Sometimes I look at those visitor numbers and wonder how many people actually read what I was writing. Enjoying your blog today!
I love comments!!!
I am your 100th follower! Yeah to me!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I like your style!
