~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
One of the things I wanted to do during blogiversary week was to acknowledge some of you who have been with me for quite some time - who have encouraged and supported me when my blog was disorganized and inconsistent. Those who have stuck with me through the past year. The down side to this is I really could name something special about every single one of you - but then you'd tire of my blog manifesto, and we can't have that!
Let's start at the beginning, shall we? I have one commenter who came to my blog from the Yahoo "blogger dare" group, and she still comments. We've had our ups and downs, some of those on the blog, some off-line. Yet she keeps coming back here, and I think that speaks volumes to her character. This one might surprise those of you who have witnessed the
Then we have the Fab Five - those first five commenters who weren't from the Yahoo Group and who still - amazingly - continue to comment today. In order of appearance:
- RockDog - Probably best known for his participation on Blog Talk Radio's Annie & Burl show, but also a self-proclaimed porn snob - and kindly gives lessons to those aspiring slut-next-door types!
- Real Live Lesbian - She's my girl blogger crush. If she weren't so completely in love with her girl I would
definitelyprobably be stalking her. - g-man - If you ever want to see some amazingly creative photography (his nature stuff is Ansel Adams reminiscent) or you need a little hot monkey sex, he's your guy - and he's been an amazing supporter of mine.
- Captain Corky - I'm not sure there are words for Corky. He's a talented writer and really should blog more than he does (*hint*hint*). We used to hang out on stickam on occasion. I lost my webcam virginity to him (get your minds out of the gutter)!
- Jay - What can I say about Jay? He claims to be a cynical bastard, but I don't believe it for a second. He's got to be one of the most caring, considerate people out here in blog land!
What? Y'all are surprised you didn't see Matt-Man on the top 5 list? Yeah, I don't know what took him so damn long to get here either, but now I can't get him to leave! Just kidding Matt - I kid because I love.
Thanks to all of you who stop by to see what

Dang, I forget where I bopped over from to get here, but I'm so glad I did. I've read some of your archives and looked back at all the HNT post, hmm what does that say about me *wink*. I like it here.
Well, thank you, Dana for speaking of my character. LOL I think I tend to be a forgiving soul and don't enjoy harboring grudges.
Your blog is interesting. That's why I come back. Plus, you read and comment on mine and I like to reciprocate. ;)
"I kid because I love" LOL
I adore Jay!! and you described him perfectly which of course he will deny. He just loves his cynical bastard persona.
And I've come to really respect and admire RLL and really enjoy her blog. I've only been visiting her for a month or 2.
I see the others commenting, I need to check them out.
Keep on enjoying anniversary week :)
How many strawberries have you had so far?
A wonderful Bloggoversary Week...
I guess I found you through Matt-Man...
I am here to stay
You're really milkin' the bloggaversary! LOL
Thanks for the mention!
Hope you're enjoying the berries!
WHAT??
Caring?
Considerate?
Next you're going to try to tell people I'm "Thoughtful" and "Sensitive!!!!"
What are you trying to do to me?? LOL
Love ya babe. ;-)
Lu, I'm glad you did too! Wait! You've done a complete HNT review but only read a few of the archives?? Shame!
FF, I just think it's ironic that you are the only one left from the original group of commenters - especially since you and I have had our - shall we say - moments? I think it actually says something about the both of us.
Dianne, I've only had TWO strawberries, but I'm hoping to use a few tonight when I do my HNT shots *wink*
Hey great list! You have a quality blog for sure!
Hi Dana!
I believe it's my first time here and it's really nice to see you acknowledging your readership. When you have the same readers that have been with you for years or as long as you've been blogging, it shows not only loyalty on their part, but a good writer on your part!
Don't mind me, I'm going to trek through some of your blog posts! I promise not to knock anything over.
:)
Deb
Bond, I'm glad you found me, and I found the couch! I think we're both quite comfortable!
RLL, I've eaten only two of the berries, but purchased some cool whip and red lipstick yesterday *wink*
Jay, thoughtful and sensitive were next on my list! I'm trying to save you from the Tom Brady lovers!
Flyinfox, I cannot say enough about ALL of you who stop by in your blog travels - really!
Deb, welcome! My reader's are my motivation and sanity check - I have to give them kudos! If you knock anything over just clean up on your way out!
It took me a little while to get comfortable here at first, you seemed so......open. I've enjoyed the high life, the lowlife, and the tons of midlife. Were all on the same bus!
I hope it says something good! LOL
I don't know where they've all gone to. They've just vanished mostly, haven't they? That list is super slow lately. Maybe we need to fake a fight just to drum up some action. LOL
Awesome. Speaks a lot about you that you have kept them coming back for so long.
What can I say? I like to take my time before coming onto a girl's blog. Cheers Dana!!
Thanks hon! It is a privilege to know you. And you have really nice boobs :)
Can't wait to see what the next year brings.
It's great to have commenters and visitors, but the faithful ones you can count on to always be there for you.....they are the really special ones. Congrats again Hon. :)
I'm so grateful to Doc for inviting me to check out his blog b/c then I found you! AND got to meet you! What's next?!
