What is the story? When I ask for advice there are no comments. When I don't care either way I get 10. Is this reverse psychology from you all or what? The funny thing is this falls into a subject I have wanted to post on for a long time simply because it has intrigued me. When, why, and who comments on blogs.
When do I comment? I find it funny when people seem to fall in the pattern on commenting on one of my posts because I commented on theirs but if I don't comment on theirs there will be no comment. Does this happen to be coincidence or is this blog etiquette that I am not familiar with? Either way this is not an angry comment just an observation.
Why do I comment? I am they type of girl that leaves a comment when I feel like it, not out of obligation but because something struck me funny or because I wanted to just shout out some support to my fellow blogger. Not because I feel obligated to. So I should stop crying about not getting advice last post? Yep!
Whose blog do I comment on? Any and all that will let me that I find interesting. Nie Nie does not give you that option and it drives me crazy! But she also is able to safeguard herself from any negative comments that may come her way. I find it disturbing when you read comments and they are all negatively geared towards the writer of the blog-simply unnecessary. Yes I believe in free speech, unfortunately some people take it to the next level simply because they can, not even processing what they are commenting half the time and do it to drive traffic to their own blogs.
Why do I blog? Because I love it! I love this community that we have going on and really do appreciate all the support, insight, and comments. I love reading about all of your lives, getting updates on your kids, and feeling that I am not the only crazy in this universe. Cheers!

Well you wait 5 hundred years before giving us new posts! Anywhoosie, you and Erik know what to do. I support you any which way. We can always get a week long rental together!
Well, I'm behind in my blog reading..very, very behind...as well as my postings...
but...commenting...why do I comment? Because A) I can never shut up. Ever... and B) because I know how I personally feel when I get a comment...
I love hearing from my readers - be it answering my pleas for advice, telling me I'm not alone or just all around good feelings...I just love it!
I didn't respond b/c I don't have an opinion on it. I don't feel right telling you what to do or not do with your entire summer vacation. That said, if you want the truth, I did feel like you were leaning more toward the no side.
Believe me I get it. I would hate to feel like I have to go somewhere every weekend in the summer....then again I have never spent a night at a lake so I am not one to give advice on this....
Well, I did comment--and that was before I even read this post. That just speaks to my linear nature: I read the earlier post first. I always love comments on my blog, and I tend to comment when I have something to add or just offer support.
I'm sorry!! I didnt see the post with your request... my bad!!
I love the reasons you blog and think your blog is wonderful!!
I cant even begin to give you advice on what to do about the cabin, but I can tell you I will pray on it for you!
Blessings-

Okay just so we are all on the same page-I was not upset that anyone did not post a comment on the lakes post, I was just being sarcastic. After reading your comments I think that you all thought I was throwing a temper tantrum-so sorry. This is a discussion that AJ and I had in Minneapolis about why people leave comments and I thought it was an iteresting conversation to bring up, that is all period.
It is funny as to why people sometimes leave comments and sometimes don't. Did you notice my buddy left another one for me yesterday????
Okay that is HILARIOUS!!!
