As I Was Saying ...


1) Why do I, like many others, feel they must respond to every comment when/if someone comments on their blogs and/or comments to them on other blogs? And why do someone people never comment??

2)
Does anyone else have problems with 'disappearing' letters on their
keyboard? Right now the U, O, L, P and T have faded or are fading. I
hunt and peck so it gets difficult. Anyone have suggestions?

3) Has it ever been decided which is better---keeping PC on 24/7 or turning it off when not in use?

4) Write whatever you want but don't tell me what to write or NOT write.

5)
I vaguely remembering reading the following and I don't remember where
but I do remember there might be something there. "Do we have more
people than we will ever need for all the jobs? Is the job market in the
USA over-saturated which might be one of the causes for unemployment?"

6) I LOVE the new IAMS catfood commercial!

7)
Allen is going to visit his daughter and her family over the
Thanksgiving weekend. Don't you think he should stay through Christmas?
(Did I mention I have his car when he goes away?)

8) I love it! A blogger said they don't make personal attacks and then attack me in half of a very large comment! LOL

9) I learned one shouldn't flirt, or make innuendos, on someone elses blog or an old lady might get offended!

10)
I don't give 'spoilers' in my movie review because I know I want to see
a movie unfold as the director and screenwriter planned. I'll give the
basis of what the movie is about and will answer any questions about the
movie in a private e-mail.

11)
Some numbers: 40% of all the food in the USA ends up in the
trash--average family of 4 wastes $2, 275 in food  each year--I am proud
to say I don't waste a bit of food and I certainly don't waste a penny
of food!

12)
I have been looking for kitchen table chairs with arms for over 2
years--from IKEA to Macy's to Target to wherever and I can't find
any!!!!

13)
As hard as it is I am doing my darnedest to not make any more comments
on political blogs because if you ask for facts or make corrections the
poster goes ballistic! LOL

14)
I recently discovered "The Big Bang Theory" and after watching a few
episodes I am hooked. I watch the NBC episode on Thursday and the TBS
marathons on Thursdays and Saturdays. It is the only comedy that has me
laughing out loud! Underneath it all am I really a nerd?!?!?

15)
From the nerds to the rich people--my secret pleasure is coming back
Sunday--"Revenge"--I love it!! Of course it is on at the same time
"Homeland", "Dexter" and "The Good Wife" while other nights you won't
find anything to watch!

Comments:

I feel guilty if I don't comment occasionally. The blogger deserves a response for their thoughts. You wouldn't ignore them in person, I hope. That is my old phone company training coming out-you have to acknowledge.

The problem is that people like ME and Alfredo comments on comments on comments--like I know if I comment on his blog he will answer with a comment and I will reply to that and, yes, he will reply to that!!!! (Shhhhhh--don't tell him--that's why I don't comment on all his blogs!!!LOL)

I always put my computer to sleep and never shut if off.
I love Bing Bang Theory.They have such great writers.

I hate wasted food and wasted money. With kids you cannot help doing both!

Have you tried Craigslist for your furniture needs?
comment by maggiemae on Sept 27, 2012 8:19 PM ()
I have tried EVERYTHING--I go to thrift stores constantly--check ebay, craig's list-- seems no one has kitchen chairs with arms--a few may have formal dining room chairs but they are to heavy for the table I have. :O)

My mother use to blame us for her getting fat--she would eat the food we left over though we really didn't leave that much over--certainly not the fattening food!

Re: responding to comments - it seems polite to acknowledge that someone has taken the time to read what we post, and those folks who consistently ignore all the comments seem so arrogant. There's one specific person who was doing this for awhile, so I stopped commenting on his posts. I'll keep an eye out for that cat food commercial.
comment by kitchentales on Sept 27, 2012 7:01 PM ()
No I have a problem--so do a lot of people though I don't want to point a finger at anyone in particular like Fredo But we have to comment on the comments that are left and then comment on the response--if one doesn't stop it can go on all day LOL
I've stopped commenting on a couple of people's blogs though I may still read them
