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..........
Morningstar,
ReplyDeleteI sometimes lurk but always love reading your blog. Happy LOL day!
Love,
Ronnie

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...
ReplyDeletehugs abby
@abby - how about "silent majority"?? less menacing no?? (cheeky grin) .... but hey - why rock the boat LOL wouldn't work with another acronym
ReplyDelete(just realized I can't use LOL to mean "laugh out loud" today - wayyyy too confusing... LMAO)
Hi morningstar,
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us today for LoL 9. Sometimes it's fun to follow the herd.
Hugs,
Hermione
Hi Morningstar, I often lurk here so thought I would say hello today, hope you have a fun day
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
@Hermoine - thanks for dropping by - and yes sometimes it is fun following the herd - as long as it isn't a herd of lemmings (cheeky grin)
ReplyDelete@an English Rose - thank you for speaking up today :) and welcome to The Journey - let me guess - you from Britain??
Hi Morningstar, a lurker/stalker from the UK. Have read your blog for several years, have finally plucked up the courage to say hello.
ReplyDeleteGill
@dolly bag - I am so very glad you plucked up the courage to say hello... nice to meet you (so to speak) :)
ReplyDeleteHi Morningstar,
ReplyDeleteI 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.

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!
ReplyDeleteHi morningstar,
ReplyDeleteI 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
I have been guilty of lurking here lately. Great to see you doing LOL day again. Hope you have a good one.

@ A Lurker - wow!! from Montreal - now I am wondering if we have met in real life :)
ReplyDelete@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!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
Hi again, Morningstar. So glad you decided to participate.
ReplyDeleteI live on a small island in the Aegean Sea with a view of Turkey across the sea from my balcony.....
I haven't visited in a while, but I used to a while back. Don't spend as much time now. Happy LOL Day.
ReplyDeleteI'm no lurker .... I just haven't been around in awhile
ReplyDeleteMiss you .... xoxoxox
Am i too late for lurker day?? Oh well, i tend to dance to the beat of my own drum anyway. i have left a couple comments, but prefer to stay in the shadows. i enjoy Your blog tremendously, and is one of two that i read on a regular basis. Thank you for being here, and sharing your life and photos.
ReplyDeleteCheers from Ontario
