What Have You Done For Me Lately?


100 posts … imagine that! It all started HERE and has managed to include a visit from "Mommy Dearest", the loss of my "Dream Job", my successful "Return to Work", and tits, tits, tits and even more tits. Then, just to see if anyone was paying attention, I threw a neck bone in there. I’ve also learned many things about blogging, bloggers, and life in general, for example:

Sex Sells - If there was any doubt in my mind, it has been erased by the recent successful implementation of Half-Nekkid Thursday and the quadruple number of blog hits I get on that day.

Unfound Talent is Rampant - If you have any doubts, visit any of those “Clickworthy Folks” on my sidebar. There are some amazing bloggers who serve as a daily inspiration to me.

Competition is Gratifying - Throw me a challenge, whether it be a contest for a witty remark or one requiring me to write a short story and I’ll do my best to step up to the plate. So will dozens of other bloggers whose abilities continually astound me.

Bloggers are Good People - Generally, they look out for one another, do their best to build people up rather than tear them down, and they usually say “excuse me” when they burp.

No Blogger is an Island - Just when I think I am in a place where no one else can even imagine being – when I feel completely and totally isolated – I receive a comforting comment or an unsolicited email and suddenly the isolation is lifted. It is an extraordinary benefit to blogging!

A great big "THANKS" to all of you who visit and encourage me with your comments as well as those of you who stop by just for the tits (you know who you are). I started blogging to clear my mind, but blogging had another plan – it expanded my mind, and my world, and has made me feel a part of something again!

Congrats on the 100!

Sex does sell... I should probably offer more sex on my blog.

Talent is found everywhere in the blogging world. It's amazing how many "ordinary" people are so far from "ordinary".

I also enjoy the challenges we get from time to time. Keeps those brain cells on their toes (if they have toes... do they?)

Bloggers are indeed very good people. So much support and kind words... sometimes I just want to climb into that virtual world and enjoy my stay there, leaving the Vicinity World behind ;)

Congrats Dana. And you summed up blogging quite well. I am glad that you (and your tits) are part of the Blogging Universe. Cheers!!

Dana said...

R.E.H., although you do navigate the sexual waters on occasion, it is your amazing writing that brings readers in by the bucketload! Keep those toes pointed!!

Matt-Man, I'm glad that I (oh, and my tits) found this virtual playground. It has brought a positive influence into my life that had been missing for quite some time.

Leighann said...

*sigh* Our girl sure has grown. I remember how reluctant you were to even start blogging!

Congrats on making it to 100 and here's 100 more!

Oh yeah, and um, nice rack!

Karen said...

Congrats on the 100. I love the list what you have learned. It is so true.

Dana said...

Leighann, you were probably the one who encouraged me most, but I'm starting to wonder just what your motivation was ... hmmm ....

Karen, thank you! It's been a fun ride.

Doc said...

I read Amid Lifes Crises just for the articles. ;-)

You can Call me AL said...

I can't believe it! I missed one of the tit articles, talk about life crises!

Dana said...

Doc, you and so many of my other readers. I'm so glad my literary content draws readership.

Al, no way! Good thing I linked all of them then, isn't it??

Osbasso said...

Think of HNT as a marketing ploy. Sure, sex sells, but I'll bet your hits on other days has grown a bit too! Congrats on your first 100!

Dana said...

Osbasso, I don't mind taking advantage of sex any time I can!

Real Live Lesbian said...

Congrats on the 100...but hey...I don't just come here for the tits! But I did notice that you didn't post any boobage today. It never hurts! ;)

Dana said...

RLL, but ... but ... I gave you direct access to the *old* boobage - that should count for something!

Jeff B said...

Great milestone. ***100***

That makes my nipples hard just thinking about it. I have tits too ya know. ok, not really, but I just wanted to be part of the "in crowd".

Glad to have found you Dana.

Dana said...

Jeff, feel free to post a tit pic of your own. I'll be sure to stop by and read the article associated with it *giggle*

Jay said...

Congrats on #100!! Can't wait for the next 100!

And sex does indeed sell, cause we're all buying.

The blogosphere is the coolest neighborhood I've ever lived in.

Dana said...

Jay, thank you very much! You are right, the blogosphere is the coolest neighborhood! Now let's just hope my "real" neighbors don't find it!

Nicey said...

Congrats well desereved I am loving this blog ....

Dana said...

Nicey, thanks for stopping by, and speaking up! Glad you enjoyed your visit.

Unknown said...

Woohoo, congrats on 100 posts, you know I think I just posted right past that supposed milestone on my blog.
Yes, sex sells...but you have to keep teasing them more sweetikins. A little flash here or there...
Again that is a weekly meme, this Mama Bear will never join in on.

Christo Gonzales said...

more tits I say.....

Dana said...

P, where is your sense of adventure??

DB, I'd have been surprised had you said anything else!

Leighann said...

I think I encouraged you the most because deep down I *knew* you were needing to show some tit! (and I was wanting to look!)

The Mountain Cat said...

Dana, I did a Google search of the word 'tit' and your blog appeared. wow! ahhaah

Dana said...

Leighann, I think that is EXACTLY why you encouraged me!

MtnCat, please tell me it isn't so! Wait ... maybe this is a good thing! Now if hubby finds my blog I'll know what it was he Googled to find it!

Nekked sells!

buffalodick said...

Happy 100th! It's been a pleasure to get to know you and your tits...Let me rephrase that... :)

Anonymous said...

Congratulatuons to you!

How much do you want to bet that if you were to post a nude photo of yourself that your blog views would skyrocket!!!!

Look forward to may more of your posts girlfriend.

Jahooni said...

okay i haven't been here for the 100 milestone... only the last 10 or so and I had to go back to the post that showed your tits and wow, i mean, way to go Dana. I didn't know you post those kind of things and I am uh, well, grateful.

Congrats!

Glad I found you or you found me or we found each other, it's all good. ;)~

captain corky said...

Um... I'm not here for the tits. I'm here for the clam chowder!

Congrats on 100 posts! I enjoy coming to your blog, and I'm glad that I've gotten to know you. You're a good person, Dana! And a lot of fun too. ;)

Dana said...

SS, no way! You just had to go back and look, didn't you?? And thanks to you for introducing me to Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Buff, thank you ... I think ...

PP, I don't think a totally nude would be a good thing. See, I know what my strengths and weaknesses are, and trust me, I only share the decent parts!

Dana said...

Jahooni, I have no shame. Well, OK, I have a little shame. Anyway, I'm glad we found each other too!

Corky, tell the truth ... you and Doc share the articles, I know ...

Anonymous said...

Well, Dana, I must say that I dig your style and attitude...ok so I'm a tit man too, but...who am I kidding, I love all the flesh, but it just wouldn't be the same if you weren't you. Keep it up sweetie, I'm only like 90 behind you.

Take care
