Speak up, would ya???
OK, I know I’m no “Higher Being” or anything, but WTF? 800+ visits in the last two days and I’ve had a whopping 19 comments, not including the spam I’ve caught.
Nothing to say? Can’t you say “hi” or something? I’m feeling neglected here. Waaaaah.
[Note to the troll "adolph": I didn't count your filthy racist comment, it went straight to hell.]
JB says:
Hi! Just passing through and saw your post(See I can follow instructions!). Beautiful site you have here, I will check back often…
Patrick says:
OK… Hi ;)
Actually your Blog is daily reading for me.
Hyscience says:
Blog roundup - for one.
I can’t help but think that bloggers are great people. They spend thankless hours doing research for free, then they write their little hearts out for any, all, or no-one at all. Right now My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is feeling a little unloved and …
Preston Taylor Holmes says:
Dollface, I come by here every day, but you don’t want me to run my mouth every day do you? Surely not. I do enough of that crap at my place. I’ll speak up when you need praise or abuse. Otherwise, I’ll respectfully lurk. :)
Richard says:
I have you on my blog machine, I have you in my Daily reads, and I hope I send you some comments tonight from Hyscience readers. I love you, the blogosphere loves you, and America loves you. Keep up the good work.

Well, I looked over in the thread below this one and there it is…the Bonfire. November 18, 1999 comes back down like a hawk stooping on a wounded pigeon. I wondered why the blogger was using that particular picture, as it will evoke various and sundry and sometimes gut-wrenching feelings and emotions about the collapse of the Bonfire and the aftermath from those of us who have been involved in its construction.
Twelve young lives lost, twenty-seven injured, some to the point where they will be invalids for the rest of their lives. Some who were involved with the construction but unscathed by the collapse are permanently injured in ways I can only imagine, touched by the tragedy of the event, the loss of friends and the trauma of the rescue efforts in the hours following the collapse. Memories of sights and sounds that will endure forever in their minds and on the backside of their eyelids, never to go away, but to be renewed each day…and each night when it is too quiet for surrounding events to block the memory. The parents of those young ones lost will forever ask themselves why, but may never really know, because their child cannot tell them. Tragic, and some say a waste….unless you know what it was about and were aware of the importance associated with it. But, in the sum of all things, tragedy is its own measure, understood only by those who were involved and cannot answer, and maligned by those observing but not seeing.
enough…..david
Beth says:
Actually, David…I hear ya. It’s the standard picture used for the Bonfire of the Vanities, not just Flying Spacemonkey’s thing. And yes, I agree, it’s not in the best taste considering the sad history of “The” Bonfire.
Maybe I can hunt down a picture of a flaming pile of dung or something, which would not only bring up memories but also be more appropriate to the topic, and send it over to Kevin at Wizbang since Wizbang is the blog-father of the Bonfire of the Vanities thing.
Your quite-eloquently spoken words definitely made me re-think the whole thing. Thanks.
Beth says:
Damn, Richard, I just realized my Blog Machine needs rearranging. I’ve got you in the blogroll, but it IS easier going to see you every day via the Machine. Will fix ASAP.
Preston, actually you’re the exception. You can continue keeping your mouth shut. heehee (just kidding, of course).
I love ALL you guys! Forgive my whining, OK?
XOXOXOXOXO!

basil says:
Hi. I’m here every day. I’m not always commenting, but I’m always reading.
Oh, and every time I can, I use a really lame-ass Mobile joke in the headlines. Not that there’s a connection with that and me saying “hi.” Or not saying “hi.” I just thought I’d mention it.
I’ll quit saying “hi” now.
Mrs. Eric says:
Beth - I don’t speak up much because you leave me speechless. :-D
John says:
Dammit!!!! This is the third time I have tried to post this message!
Ok, you asked for it! I thought my pestering you in car pool line all of the time was enough.
Think of every hit without comment as a “ditto”. If they did like it then I am sure you would have gotten a comment or an email, or a FU something…. LOL
Love ya!
John says:
P.S. Note to self—The “F”ing code thingy is case sensitive!!!!
Who is the dumbass now?!
Why me, of course!
Beth says:
I know, I know, I’m a big farkin’ crybaby. Duly noted.
Mostly my whining was directed at the anonymous non-regulars unlike all of you who have already commented here.
Please forgive my lapse in sanity! ;-)
Beth says:
LMAO, John!
Any run-ins with the Kerry Infiniti lately? ;-) I’ve been watching for the dumb bitch!
Note to readers: Support smaller blogs–you get a response to your comments! :-D

I don’t comment on blogs very often but I wanted to let you know you’re on my daily reading list. BTW-I’m also ex-AF(ammo),a Mobilian and ready for Mardi Gras. Moonpie, moonpie, moonpie!
Beth says:
Oh no, an Ammo-dog! I used to hang out with some Ammo maniacs back in the day…absolute chaos… ;-)
And ditto the MOONPIE! Wooohoo!

You’re now on my daily list…and I may even comment from time to time. Good job here!!!
don says:
Just thought I’d leave you a ‘Hi’, and try to boost your standing in the ecosystem.
(Oh, yes, *that* song is *still* echoing in my head….”blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind”.)
