I’m late to comment, but I read everything you post. A lot of the time, though, it’s like tonight: a week’s worth of posts at a time.

Yeah, I miss Spot too. But Simon rocks!!

“Aging gracefully, ungracefully, and willingly in front of a crowd.

That’s what I like about you and your writing.

I love blogs and read severall faithfully, but I must say that your blog is one of my favorites because you are so real and your writing shows that some days are funny and quirky and some days are devastatingly painful. Who wants cheery, cheery all the time? I myself can’t handle the sticky sweetness. And, if you ever started product reviews and “celebrity” interviews” I would cringe more than a little. I am here because you are brave enough to share yourself. I could care less about the latest brand of whatever to hit the market.

First, Simon is brilliant.

Second, so are you. I always read (also via a reader) and I often say a prayer for you (hope you don’t mind), mostly for peace. I seldom comment, though, because my words always seem so ungainly after your always graceful ones and because I can’t ever find any that seem like more than platitudes. I am a stranger, so how can it help at all that I feel your pain and I hurt for you and rail at the unfairness of life on your behalf? I do, and I am a faithful lurking reader and I hope you never stop writing here.

I once posted a funny picture of a macaroni penguin and still get TONS of hits for that entry. So much so that I finally went back and added a bunch of links to more information about macaroni penguins. I still get excited every time I log on to check my stats but then I remember that two-thirds of the hits are for the damn penguin.

I never track traffic, that is too much like work! But I do adore comments! XOFifi Pee Ess Any way that you are, that is who we love. You.

Jenn,
You’re a great writer and you’re honest and THAT is good enough for me.

I think it’s VERY HARD to track traffic because so many people use feed readers now, which doesn’t get tracked. So you might have a hundred times the readers you ever did, but most of them could be the non-commenting type who read in readers.

I read you in a reader, so you’ll see my hit only if I comment. I read your depression/bipolar/divorce posts with INTENSE INTEREST, but generally don’t click through to comment, because….because….well, because it’s hard to comment. I’m not going to say “IT WILL GET BETTER, JENN!!” because who am I to promise such a crazy thing? And nothing else seems right either.

I’m still here and loving you. (For what it’s worth.)
