Sonya, bookncoffee, said "If I write on my journal "sorry, I'll read your entries later or sorry
I've not been by", it is just an endearing way of saying "I'm thinking
about you if I haven't told you so" or "I've been busy, but still think
a lot of you". But then, having said that, I ALWAYS do what I want. I
never sit and read journals unless I'm truly interested, and I never
comment unless I truly want to. LOL I don't feel so much guilt though
as just feeling that my internet friends are dear to me and I want them
to know it. And I think when most folks say it, that is what they mean.
I have noticed that a few don't seem to say much related to your entry
when they comment and figure there may be some out there that just
leave comments to get comments on their own journal. I love comments
and lots of them, but at least the comments I leave are sincere and
only as I have time. And yours is one of my favorites! So if I visit,
you will know it b/c when I do I usually like to let the person know.
LOL I have developed lots of friendships that way. Each person gets
to do what they like though and that is what makes it enjoyable. If
you lurk, then that is what you like to do, and that is fine! LOL Have
a good week."
I couldn't have said it better myself. I like it when people keep me in their thoughts, and I think about many of my journal buddies on a daily basis. I have 12 journals that I read daily, and many others that I read as I can, but they don't post as often. Without excluding anyone, let me talk about Russ for a minute.
Russ was one of my favorites before I ever met him, and now I've met him twice. He is funny, insightful, and we have so many opposite views that I find he makes me think more than most folks. He gets down sometimes, and has suffered from depression most of his life.
When he's down, I don't post a "warm and fuzzy" comment every time, but if I don't see a post for a week I will email him and make sure he is still around. I'm not cold-hearted or cruel, but he knows me well enough to know that my heart is always with him.
I love to get a ton of comments as much as the next person, but I don't get hung up on it. I know that many of you think of me regularly, and many of you pray for my family. I know when I realize that you remember to send my daughters ecards for their birthday, or ask about a pet, by name, when I haven't mentioned them for a while.
Yeah. I know.
Now, go and prove it by leaving a comment, ok?
HA! I crack me up! Go spend time with your families, and post something fun for me to read in your *own* journal.

Of course, if it weren't for your MOTHER, you'd never have found Russ. :-D
Sonya is a wise woman...i hate generic comments...

It's a tough call -- I get overwhelmed by alerts sometimes & and can't read all the journals...so I comment in the jpurnals of people who commented in mine (sometimes don't have time for THAT) and leave the rest for the weekend. Possibly. Maybe that's petty and jr. high-ish, but that's how I've been doing it. I'm a work in progress...the progress has been slow.

Ok lets get warm and fuzzy! LOL *If I commented in every journal I read I would not ever be away from the computer.
Now on the professional part... Do yall print photos for companies or just people?(posters?)
