Wow! Lots of lovely posts to read! Am very curious about ‘How to choose a toilet’!!
Congratulations – three years is a long time! You must have been blogging before any of us knew what that was!

Congratulations!!! =)

WOW! Congratulations..how did you collect all of that info? I’m impressed!
May 18th, 2009 at 11:30 am
@Tressa: Lots and lots of hours of searching through my archives. I’ve been working on it one and off again for almost 2 months! I’m sure there some sort of program out there that can spit out some of this information, but for me it was just old-fashioned leg (finger?) work!

Congratulations…and here is to many more years of great blogging!

Happy Anniversary! The list of most commented posts cracked me up!
May 18th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Thanks for all the comments and congratulations! I’d love to say that I couldn’t do it without you all, but let’s face it I am just the type of person to sit here in and shoot things off into cyberspace without a soul reading them. That reminds me, I want to see Contact again. I WILL say, though, that you all added all the fun in!
@Blond Duck: Haha, right? I hope the three posts aren’t in any way related!

Oh wow! I want to do some “Ronnica Reading” because some of those posts I don’t remember. BALLGAME tonight (rrrrr May!). I will try to slip over and read more.
You are a wonderful blogger and I am so impressed that you have been at this for three years – I had NO idea it had been that long! Congratulations and keep it up. I am so thankful that I am one of your readers.
Have a great week Ronnica!

Congratulations! I’ve been at it for 3 months and it seems like forever. Coming up with interesting things to say on a regular basis is not that easy. Thanks for stopping by my site.

Congratulations! Quite a milestone. Many, many more years, I hope! :)

Happy 3rd blog birthday! I hope the same thing that happened to my son when he turned doesn’t happen to you (i.e. temper tantrums, stubbornness, and a habit of speaking to people using only the word “enh!”).

Congrats on the three years – quite a milestone in the blogging world.

Ronnica,
Congratulations on your third blog birthday!
Even though I’m less than a month away from my blog’s third birthday, I discovered you only recently. From the links in your post, I see I’ve missed a lot.
