9 Years??!!!






Today is the 9th edition of L.O.L day - love our lurkers day.  A celebration, of sorts, of all those who pop in on our blogs - read - and quietly leave.  (Personally I am not a big fan of the word "lurker" makes me think of stalker - ahhhh well - that's just my twisted mind at work)

I have participated for a number of years, but had some serious reservations about doing it again this year.  In the past few years if I had one or two 'lurkers' leave a comment it was a good year....unlike many of my fellow bloggers who had piles and piles of comments on LOL day. 

I even had a blog planned for today - one about some holiday silliness going on here ..... but then this morning I thought "why not?"  (Have I always been such a follower??)

So here it is......... LOL day -  just for you my friendly lurkers.  The ones who pop in read and quietly slip back into that dark night - leaving me wondering who? what? where?

How about this year you leave a little comment - I know I am most curious about where in the world you hale from......... not the city !!  it doesn't have to be the city - but the country would be nice.  AND if you had any little thoughts to leave while you are in my comment box typing anyway... I would love that!!!

AND if you are interested in reading more blogs that are participating in the LOL day - some of them - I hear - are offering contests and challenges then pop over to Hermione's Heart - she is making a list of all the participants........

If you do comment I will be a good hostess (this year) and answer you........ Enjoy your day..........

  2. I thought...think...the same thing about the word 'lurker'. I wanted to change it to reader on my blog, but decided not to rock the boat..for a change. We seem to have lots in common...

  3. @abby - how about "silent majority"?? less menacing no?? (cheeky grin) .... but hey - why rock the boat LOL wouldn't work with another acronym

    (just realized I can't use LOL to mean "laugh out loud" today - wayyyy too confusing... LMAO)

    Hi Morningstar,
    I lurk here occasionally and figure it's time to say "hi". I hale from the Greater Montreal area, your x-hometown! Another interesting coincidence - our men are the same age and were born on the same day! I remember that from a posting about W's BIG b-day. Hope you have a good turn out today.

  10. Hi morningstar! I've been lurking here recently and I've actually been meaning to leave you a comment since you did the photography walk and then life got busy. You might like to check out www.dpchallenge.com - some of the contests are open rather than member only. I submitted a few photos back in 2007 but haven't had time to since then. Happy LOL Days!

  11. Hi morningstar,
    I lurk constantly on your blog and especially on your photography exploits. I am always extremely envious of the photos that "capture that moment" and am trying to emulate your spontaneity. May your wish for more lenses come true

  12. I have been guilty of lurking here lately. Great to see you doing LOL day again. Hope you have a good one.

  13. @ A Lurker - wow!! from Montreal - now I am wondering if we have met in real life :)

    @Jay - thank you for commenting today - I know all to well how life can just be too busy some times!!

    @Downunder Don - when I post my photos I always wonder if you are here taking a peek :) Right now I am lusting after a "fish eye" lens - don't need - probably wouldn't use it much - buttttt still lusting :)

    @Prefectdt - I was thinking about you the other day - wondering how you were doing... so very glad you said "hi" today :)

    Hi Morningstar. I am glad to see your LOL Day post. I have followed your blog for awhile now and I want to thank you for your blog. I've admired your strength thru the difficulties you have mentioned in the last year with your health and your relationship. And I have certainly enjoyed your photographs. They are awesome. Best wishes for the future.

    Hi Morningstar! I've been a silent lurker for well over a year - maybe more! Thank you for sharing your ups and downs and your journey with us. I am a woman of a 'certain age' as well and appreciate your perspective.

    Hi Morningstar!
    I'm not a lurker, I often comment here but even if I've got nothing special to tell you, I thought it'd be nice to stand up and be counted. Oh yes, I love your photos.
    Hugs from France.
