It's too esy to lie on the internet/in other social media, and I can't bear dishonesty or falseness.Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-61649093893621651342011-11-23T08:56:14.261+00:002011-11-23T08:56:14.261+00:00I meant 2 bloggers other than you.I meant 2 bloggers other than you.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-54586360631607673802011-11-23T08:55:33.379+00:002011-11-23T08:55:33.379+00:00The first comment I left on your blog was the day ...The first comment I left on your blog was the day my Dad died - I can't imagine how I sat reading blogs when I'd just heard he had passed away. Must have been in shock. It was a peculiar day.<br /><br />I've remained in (very) sporadic touch with only 2 bloggers I knew from those days. I have changed, my life has changed, my tastes have changed. <br /><br />Does it say something about me, or you, that I still enjoy your blog as much as I ever did? <br /><br />You are lovely Z.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-55371998961222988732011-11-23T07:09:37.719+00:002011-11-23T07:09:37.719+00:00One of the sadder things about looking back on ear...One of the sadder things about looking back on early posts is that a couple of my early commentators have been lost to cancer.<br />Which is a lovely thought to leave a comment on ....sorry...Macyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16117141586263456823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-26806658050404814922011-11-23T05:30:02.079+00:002011-11-23T05:30:02.079+00:00I loveto read my old posts, just to see what I was...I loveto read my old posts, just to see what I was doing this time in those years gone bylomhttp://justathoughtmyblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-79946789383631365682011-11-22T21:12:02.456+00:002011-11-22T21:12:02.456+00:00I can't remember when, Liz, but you left a com...I can't remember when, Liz, but you left a comment as I was relatively local to you. I then visited you back.<br /><br />The thing with Blue Witch is that she has always been receptive to finding new blogs. Some early bloggers don't reach out, and then grumble that it's not what it used to be. Indeed, it was a close-knit community then, but never a closed one.<br /><br />I'm blushing now, Tim.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-55090116440088337342011-11-22T20:45:04.083+00:002011-11-22T20:45:04.083+00:00I bet Blogspot's December 2006 archive has jus...I bet Blogspot's December 2006 archive has just crashed!<br /><br />I occasionally revisit my old posts (though I'm a youngster compared to you blog veterans), and I agree - I was funnier then.

Although quite a number of friends from then don't blog any more, I was impressed that so many still do - and reminded of those I miss.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-32767102421682630562011-11-22T16:13:13.052+00:002011-11-22T16:13:13.052+00:00I suspect that everybody is funnier in their early...I suspect that everybody is funnier in their early blogdays.<br /><br />I was talking to a textile tacher yesterday who's just started blogging. "Have you heard about this new thing called blogging, it's great fun..." she asked. I played along, acted innocent, and she told me all about it. After almost 9 years, there was a certain freshness in hearing all about it from a newbie.Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-62470001519751097372011-11-22T16:07:53.088+00:002011-11-22T16:07:53.088+00:00When turn up at sales in a helicopter and they ask...When turn up at sales in a helicopter and they ask if I want to buy something I say "Just hovering".Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.com
