All this turmoil and drama over a blog? I'm not playing in that sandbox, no way no how. Just having fun and hoping that once in awhile I am able to reach someone...turn them on to trying something new or even being open to it.<br /><br /> Kinda wishing I had the drive to bury this silly post as what I thought was funny has been spun and twisted in a way that I never intended. But alas, just a ranting blog so no harm...no foul.<br /><br />Thanks for the roll call kids, was very sweet and cracked me up!Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-59368269158599722322010-09-15T20:11:01.336-07:002010-09-15T20:11:01.336-07:00hey, sometimes life gets in the way of the all too...hey, sometimes life gets in the way of the all too important job of blogging.<br /><br />no big deal.

I so adore those of you that sincerely read and support me here and I assure you guys that this was just to explain why I had been away. Thought it might be funny to poke a stick at those that are truly needy but clearly I failed in my execution. Sorry for that you all! No need to fear, I'm not going anywhere and I shan't forget what is truly valuable...honesty and all these voices that are willing to lend their support and heart to what it is I do here. Thank you. I guess I am in fact needy in a way, I NEED to remember to appreciate my true supporters and stay away from the silly and desperate for attention.

Be thankful readers are stopping by and taking in your words. Sometimes, there's simply no time for comments. Deadlines. <br /><br />And I suspect Dear Samantha, that though you say this post was done in jest, there is a thread of truth running through. And IMHO being needy once in a while is perfectly okay and doesn't make you weak. Take your time and write when you can and know we'll still be here for you when you do, hanging on your every consonant and vowell.Sip with Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01396446937839484772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-88405396205999713662010-09-15T09:51:00.334-07:002010-09-15T09:51:00.334-07:00Pastis Daddy,

I thinks it's awesome that you all would chime in here but this was more of a joke post, kind of poking fun at neediness of bloggers, (ala Poodles Thomas) including myself at times. I do have a person in CT that is on all the time and while I do wonder who they are I'm just happy that they find something here worth visiting. So my wonderful regular readers, put you dukes down this was just a not-so-funny funny post that was meant to be cleared up at the end of the piece....deadline. I've not posted because I have other writing to do. That's it, plain and simple.
