Kevin and I were on the computers tonight, and Kevin said, "I notice you don't get many comments lately. Do you think it's not updating or something?"
I said, "No, people probably just don't give a shit about what I'm posting."
I wasn't hurt, or bothered. I realized, that after more than 2 years of posting, it really doesn't bother me any more. I use this journal to keep friends updated, upload a video from time to time, or just to vent. If I get 10 comments, I'm thrilled and excited. If I get 2, cool. If I don't get any, I'm good with that. It used to make me sad, like nobody was reading. Now, I'm good with it.
When I talk, people are interested and engaged. I don't live or die by this journal. Sorry, but I'll live through it. LOL
Life is good at Fierro central.

I don't worry about comments much either. I like them when I get them, but the people who matter most (relatives and real-life friends) don't have to comment. I know they're there.
I'm envisioning you singing Bohemian Rhapsody right now... ::giggle:: "Nothing really mattersssss tooooo meeeeeeee" hee hee hee......
Hey, how come we didn't get more pics of the hotel room on this trip?! Did you get a sleep number bed? I lllllllllllove the sleep number beds. We went to the Disney Resort and those beds were as hard as a rock. Oh, and the power went out while we were sleeping. WTH? Because they're not screwing us enough?

I figured that this is a good time to come out of the woodwork, I'm a silent reader to your journal, I have it on my alerts, and I enjoy reading all of your entries :)

I read every one of your updates and your mothers.
I am your moms age and have no grandkids.
I enjoy reading about your girls (and boys) and husband.
Prayed for him when he had surgery and for you when
you take airplane trips.
Its nice to go on those airplane trips with you
and to work with you.
I liked hearing about your Buddy horse until he
fell on your mom (poof then he was gone).
I liked seeing pictures of your house and yard when you
were so excited about moving in.
Although those gomes had to go live at your
moms cabin.
The pictures of the water tower by your house
with your mom and the girls laying in the grass
under it were great.
So now you know what you write is important
and I am always glad to see your alerts.

I suppose we write for somewhat different reasons. But I know for me, it's not numbers. For me it's if I can make one down person smile, if I can stir one person to open a dusty Bible, if one person has enough hope to finish the day. Keep writing for you. - Barbara
I don't always comment, but I do read all your entries. I enjoy my comments, but don't worry when I don't get many. Also, if you have a counter like Site-Meter, you can see that there are many more people looking at your journal than are commenting. Have a good week.

That makes me feel bad that I havent been by in a while. I think that alot of people have been busy this summer . My coments has droped off too and my postings. I think in the winter when we are stuck inside they will come back to their computers.

I'm still a loyal reader...

One of the things I've come to realize (by my hit counter) is alot more people actually read it then comment. I do wish I got more feedback sometimes, especially on the entries I felt were really good but hey, I know I'm not a good commenter either. Your on my alerts, I read every single one, I've commented a handful of times.

I read yours all the time! But I just moved and just hooked up my computer
Just to let you know.
I do read your journal all the time.
I'm not one who comments much on the one's i read. I probably should but i don't. But i just wanted to let you know i do enjoy your journal. You have such a good outlok on everything which i take in high regard. , And i lalso ove your mom's journal.
We also have 2 things in common. Your hubby had neck surgrey not long ago. Mine is supposed to have it too. They want to go thru the front of his neck too. Mine doesn't want to do it. All though soon or later he isn't going to have no choice. I'm glad your hubby got thru it fine. I also have been having major car problems(*sigh*).
Just wanted to pump you up some let you know there are people out there reading..
Take Care :-)
