Philosophy (sorry) and Comments
Posted in Dusting the Historian's Library on 04/04/2009 12:37 am by RonnicaThis has been one of the fastest weeks ever. Of course, I’m of the subscriber of the philosophy that our perception of time means we DO feel like each increment (day, week, year, whatever) is faster than the last because it’s a smaller proportion of our life as a whole. That means that this week WAS the fastest ever!
Anyway, now time for your comments:
Wickle said: “Just for fun … When someone gets too whiny, you could say, ‘You can’t get a bigger refund because they needed the money to send to me.’
“Of course, you might want to update your resume first. Just a thought …”
You don’t know how many times I want to say something like that! I love to joke and use sarcasm (just ask any of my little kiddies who’ve fallen victim to it), but I really have to hold my tongue and not joke about stealing people’s money! It’s not quite professional…
Vicki had some ideas for a celebration post that I think you might like:
”1. Give away a million dollars
2. Or just a vacation to an exotic island
3. Or just a Gift card (for $600 or 600 pennies or somewhere in between)
4. Or highlight some of your favorite older posts that new readers will not have read”
Any idea on how to get a sponsor for either of the first two ideas? If so, I’d totally be up for it!
OneMom said, “Future posts? How about writing about your hopes for the future … 1 year, 5 years, 10 years from now.”
I absolutely love this idea, though I’m not using it for my 3rd anniversary post. Look for it soon (Soon meaning a few weeks from now…I’ve got several weeks of posts already written! It’s very freeing.).
Amanda (my future sister-in-law) said about my Christmas/April Fool’s post, “Haha nice one! I was about to comment on the girlfriend/fiance remark, but then saw I was ‘fooled’ since that was irrelevant back in December. Burritos? Seriously? Awesome! Why am I not too terribly surprised by number ten? He has gotten a lot better about gifting though.”
Iva said, “Oh you totally got me! And you were the only one.”
Yes!
And there were several good comments on the “Tar and Feathers?” post. Here’s some snippets:
“I’m getting really tired of many of the US blogs I read continually moaning about everything the guys does. Sure, disagree with him and state your case, but if all you do is complain about how bad things are now that he’s in power, it’s going to be a very miserable four years for many people.” – Rodney Olsen
“To be fair, people did the same thing to Pres. Bush; but back then the people who are doing it now were calling it wrong.” – Wickle
“The focus, however, should be on how we as constituents deal with what we’re given which should be in a way that glorifies God.” – Elizabeth
