Wyoming Comes Thru – Followers – I'm a Cheater

Don't worry, I'll get back to telling you about the wonderfully romantic stroll the beautiful and talented Cora and I took along Lake Michigan soon, but with the long weekend and all, I didn't want it to get missed while you were in the emergency room, hoping they can re-attach you thumb after that M-80 incident.

Not that you can skip reading this blog entry.  The fate of the free world just may depend upon you reading (AND COMMENTING) on the life changing information contained within.


State-Flag

I know you all have been waiting with baited breath (and you always bait your breathed when fishing for compliments) to hear the results of my desperate attempt to get a blog hit from that elusive state of Wyoming, as chronicled HERE.  Well, I am please to report that just a few days after that post, I got a hit from Gillette, Wyoming.

If had nothing to do with the post, however.

They Googled "realistic sex art" and found THIS post.

But a win's a win.  Now to get Luxembourg…


Recently picked up a few gnu followers, which pushed me up to 71.  It's not like I'm on some kind of followers hunt.  But I do enjoy and appreciate you stopping by.  And those of you who drop a comment.  I have a special place in my heart for you.

So with no further ado, I'd like to welcome:


I have a confession to make.  I've been cheating on you.  And I plan to keep doing it.

And Cora knows about it.

And she watched me do it.

I've started a "Family Blog" for myself, my parents, siblings, cousins, etc.  I still don't think they've figured it out exactly yet, but I'm going to keep it up.  It's a place for us to leave news, write down old family oral history stories, etc.

I'm keeping the two blogs very separate (even using different Google accounts).  I even made them even look a little different.  Sure, sometimes I will cross post but I won't ever link the two.  I have been thinking about this for a long time.  I have even suggested doing this very thing to other bloggers who were worried about having people they know find their "real" blogs, and then feeling trapped into not being able to write what they want.  I made sure I told the family that I would be checking analytics to make sure that they weren't popping up over here.  Also, I had to come clean on how I actually met Cora, and so I was sort of trapped.

So, if you get a random comment from some "Eric" guy who happens to look like me, I must have forgotten to switch accounts.

What, you've got a little place in your heart for me? A special little place?

Crumbs, you've brought a tear to my eye.

The Wyoming thing kills me! Hee hee hee....

As for the family blog, I hope they embrace it soon. It's a lovely idea. :-)

I wasn't waiting with baited breath. More like bated, but I'm glad that the Jackson Holes in Wyoming finally came through for ya.

That is pretty awesome that one of the 10 people who live in Wyoming got internet access!

Soda and Candy said...

Ooh good idea. I'd write two, but I've barely enough material for one.

PS - mjenks - LOL, nice one!

I was talking to my man near midnight on the 4th and said, "I'm waiting for someone to drop an M-80 down the storm drain. It happens every year." Well, times must be hard because this is the 1st year in the 25 that we've lived here that it didn't happen.

And I comment on nearly every post...do I get a prize? ; )

AND no one in my family, immediate or otherwise, knows about this blog - for the simple reason that I want to talk about them behind their backs. It's a stress reliever for me.

i totally get keeping things separate. I'll understand. :)

don't want to ever feel censored... am i right? ;)

it's all good. funny tho... i have 3 ppl in my life that are a part of my blog and fb. i don't censor the same way with those 3 people. obviously, you and cora = 2. lol

Yes, Mr. Jenks, the verbal joke doesn't translate into a written joke so well, but I couldn't pass it up. Oddly, I knew the correct spelling of "bated" but since I knew I was going to be using "baited" in the punchine, I opted for consitency rather than accuracy.

Now if that doesn't kill a joke... :-)

Awww, I have a special place in my heart for your comments, too!

Forgive me for posing this question in a comment. Alas, I don't know how else to get it to you. (You don't list an email in your profile.) Could you help a newbie (blogger, that is) know how to find out how/where/etc. blog hits come from? I don't know where/how to find out that kind of information and would love to learn. Graci.
