If I weren't alread...A pole dancing Aussie man. If I weren't already married... I think you should be taking a little overseas trip though, no?<br /><br />I really appreciate the friendships I've made through blogging. You are right though. I have noticed many are only takers and look out for themselves. When I started blogging, I was so excited about the connection I was going to make with others. Thankfully, I have met some fabulous friends, so it wasn't a bust lol. Though, I used to love doing Wordless Wednesday with a link up, it was irritating taking the time to comment on tons of blogs, but most would just leave a link and leave. RUDE! Now, I don't include a linky on my posts, but can still share with those that care enough to stop by and return the blog love on those days.<br /><br />Rant over. I'll go stop by the hunky Aussie man's blog and give a hello ;)Theresa Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709965543595065306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-8684609174406862402014-10-26T18:50:26.443-07:002014-10-26T18:50:26.443-07:00It's crazy the way the blogging world has chan...It's crazy the way the blogging world has changed.

It certainly had dampened my enthusiasm toward the whole thing. But, I still like to get out and about every so often and see what everybody is up to. <br /><br />What a great introduction to a blogger who sounds interesting and imaginative. That's really nice for a change.

A few months ago, someone was kind enough to follow me, so I happily returned the favor. A few days later that same person unfollowed me. This brought back memories of what I thought were great first dates that never turned into second dates. Maybe I was a sloppy commenter. I look forward to meeting Michael!<br /><br />JulieEmpty Nest Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074223969046687064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-34821932429880718032014-10-25T00:00:22.299-07:002014-10-25T00:00:22.299-07:00I can hear it now, "and this is my son in law...I can hear it now, "and this is my son in law, he is a pole dancer . . ."Rhonda Albomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455873487349816911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-38676949652154768442014-10-24T22:59:11.765-07:002014-10-24T22:59:11.765-07:00Hello there pole dancing Michael!

My friend Rusty was the person who convinced me to start one and we sort of ran our blogs in tandem, always mentioning each other and doing projects together...<br /><br />We had a really nice little community going, but then my circumstances changed and I disappeared. By the time I got back into it, all the bloggers I'd made friends with were also gone. Even Rusty.<br /><br />Anyway, I might go into more detail about it in a post. I'm very glad I made a friend like you and you're right - that's the main reason I do this :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063165966816632456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-45979762011221445722014-10-24T13:33:16.293-07:002014-10-24T13:33:16.293-07:00Yay!

You've made more of a difference in my life than I can say. I'm glad you get that I'm not expressing this to you. If we weren't on the same page, we wouldn't have continued our blogland friendships.<br /><br />PS Can't wait til Michael sees this post and sees his following start to take off. <br /><br />xoRobynRawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-14987029027432611272014-10-24T10:52:02.849-07:002014-10-24T10:52:02.849-07:00you are generous, Robyn.

I've also noticed that some are getting annoyed with posts on writing (writing tips, etc.), which is what I mostly do. I also promote other authors on Fridays.
