As others have said, Bone, no matter what you blog about, there's a warmth about your writing that draws people to it, like a waiting book in a cozy chair next to a crackling fire. So whether it's once a week, or once a month, I'll always be checking back!<br /><br />Nice NASCAR pic, by the way...I'm assuming your face is frozen in that expression of awe because of the neck breaking speeds reached by your state-of-the-art automobile. *lol*Sherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00834386300886224116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-22922516366195970212009-10-08T06:30:22.118-05:002009-10-08T06:30:22.118-05:00I was afraid you would ask a tricky question like ...I was afraid you would ask a tricky question like that.Murfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859630977737647681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-15329774569560939062009-10-07T16:58:47.968-05:002009-10-07T16:58:47.968-05:00Helene - Grass roots! Now you're talkin'!...Helene - Grass roots! Now you're talkin'! Taking it to the streets.<br /><br />Well, the ride hadn't started yet. You should've seen me once it got going :)<br /><br />OKChick - Thanks so much! Yeah, no matter how unhealthy it is, the fact that I'm eating it at the fair somehow makes it all OK.<br /><br />Daily Panic - It was a sweet ride. I bet it'd be good on gas, too.<br /><br />Yeah, I need a really good costume. Got any ideas?<br /><br />Small Town Girl - Haha. I like it! Although one of the four could be a deal-breaker ;-)<br /><br />Charlotta-love - <i>a 30 year old female in grad school friend of mine wants to know.</i><br /><br />Mmhmm. Well, tell your "friend" that I don't believe there is anything in the fair and amusement by-laws prohibiting it, but she might want to be prepared for the occasionaly strange look.<br /><br />Susan - So... you second that emotion? Smokey Robinson!<br /><br />Michelle Johnson - Well, thank you. And I'm glad to report there's no travesty yet :)<br /><br />Murf - Maybe. What do you want to hear? Do you want it to be me?<br /><br />Actonbell - Thank you. Although I'm starting to worry that I'm going to develop performance anxiety issues now :)<br /><br />PennyCandy - Haha. That's Blogtober<i>fest</i>. Very similar though.<br /><br />Sage - Nah, I've heard worse. Much worse. But that did make me think of a picture I saw. It was this compact car with a wheel missing, and under the corner of the car with the missing wheel is this four-wheel-dolly with a guy riding on it. I think I saw it on thereifixedit.com.<br /><br />Cami - Thanks :) That was my favorite part, too. Please tell me you watch <i>The Office</i>. If you don't, you should.<br /><br />J Adamthwaite - It seems like I tend to either have lots of ideas and not much time to write, or no ideas when I do have time to write. <br /><br />Good point. Bloguary, Blogvember, Blarch... none of those work so well. <br /><br />Ooo! Blogust! That one's not too bad.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-4187941104132767032009-10-07T11:27:02.037-05:002009-10-07T11:27:02.037-05:00I think we all have months like that.

And then occasionally - very occasionally - it goes the other way and you have something to post every other day. <br /><br />I like Blogtober though... interesting that it happened in the only month you can really attach the word 'blog' too without falling over the word. I can't see 'Blogember' or 'Bloguly' catching on so well somehow!J Adamthwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345895278356184427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-20307853886671511462009-10-07T10:00:23.486-05:002009-10-07T10:00:23.486-05:00Except that I'm four days late--that's wha...<em>Except that I'm four days late--that's what she said--so make it the next twenty-seven days.</em><br /><br />BAhahahahahahaha, thank you.McClure ELA 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/08900755087875240681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-49534973278073083482009-10-07T08:36:58.876-05:002009-10-07T08:36:58.876-05:00I'll look forward to your Blogtober post... a...I'll look forward to your Blogtober post... as for that photo caption, "Bone in a typical Alabama car: no tires!"

Well, I said at least 30 minutes, so no it cannot be one moment less :)<br /><br />Cooper - Touche, Miss Cooper. Tou. Che.<br /><br />Pia Savage - Wow. I will cherish that comment.

I usually go for the corn dog as my main course, then either cotton candy, caramel apple, or candied apple for dessert.<br /><br />Renee - Yeah, I don't see you giving up Bejeweled. Maybe you could cut something else out of your day, like your hour-long showers.<br /><br />TC - Ah, good point. I will go back and add the Michael Scott tag. <br /><br />Thank you. I do think there's something to be said for writing every day though. If I can start doing that, something decent is bound to come out a couple of times a week anyway.

Believe me there is no comparison."<br /><br />I don't think it matters how much you post, because what you write is always better than the rest. I'd rather read four posts from you in a month than 28-31 posts from these daily bloggers. <br /><br />No matter what you're writing about, there is always something that sticks out and makes it uniquely wonderful. Uniquely Bone. <br /><br />Even the "crap" as you call it. Which, I'm quite confident, is anything but.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487739742081226423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-59398564626009154652009-10-06T00:00:37.553-05:002009-10-06T00:00:37.553-05:00Except that I'm four days late--that's wha...<i>Except that I'm four days late--that's what she said--</i><br /><br />Okay, that's one of your funniest lines ever, even if I do think you're missing a "channeling Michael Scott" tag on this post :) Hopefully you being four days late won't have the same repurcussions as her being the same. <br /><br />Also, if there is photographic evidence of you on the bumper cars, is it safe to assume there is some of you on the merry-go-round?
