I rarely go through my comments and click on people's blogs. I do regularly to thru my "referred by" page and see if anyone new links to me. Does that make sense?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293892189430836712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-85902498605261853622007-05-01T12:21:00.000-04:002007-05-01T12:21:00.000-04:00Aww, y'all are good for my ego.

And Summer, I was going to say that, that only the truly elite link to me, andif I am not going to get lots of links, at leat the ones I have are high quality, very high...

I'll try to figure out how to add a blogroll.AmyinMotownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003213937023515816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-89329851299084984382007-05-01T12:14:00.000-04:002007-05-01T12:14:00.000-04:00The world would be a beautiful place if we could a...The world would be a beautiful place if we could all just embrace our inner hippie. But Eden's not a hippie-exclusive name... my brother would have been Eden, had he been female, and my parents are NOT hippies. (My hippie-sounding first name is a family last name. So it's technically preppy, not hippie.)<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on the hipster parent thing. I mean, I try to maintain a baseline level of hipness for myself, but my son is NOT an accessory to make me look cooler. He's got that traditional little boy haircut with bangs because that's the way HE wants to have his hair. He selects his own shoes (from those I tell him we can afford). He does not own a single item of clothing emblazoned with the name of a band I like... instead he wears Thomas the Tank Engine or Bob the Builder T-shirts, because that's what he's into. If he one day asks me to cut his hair into a mohawk, I will, gladly, but I sure as hell wouldn't do it just to gratify some latent punk-rock urge of my own. That's what MY hair is for.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it is nice to have a blogroll of your own; I think bloggers in general are more likely to link to blogs that link to them. But beyond that, I don't think there's anything you can do to increase your blogroll visibility... IMO it's rude to ask to have your link added, unless of course the blogger has ASKED for readers to send their URLs.<BR/><BR/>Or you could just be content that only really AWESOME bloggers link to you.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319015365750440674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-35919222808471452852007-05-01T11:50:00.000-04:002007-05-01T11:50:00.000-04:00i've been reading you for a while(as a lurker) and...i've been reading you for a while(as a lurker) and when you DO write, i always think to myself "i really should comment". though you are not on my blogroll you ARE in my RSS feeder. <BR/><BR/>i use "dear gussie" as an exclamation and sometimes "my aunt's fanny" and for an expletive i'm quite fond of "son of a motherless goat"nejyerfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308206206752686464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-91433020474292142072007-04-30T22:38:00.000-04:002007-04-30T22:38:00.000-04:00I dunno if it helps, but bloglines show that you h...I dunno if it helps, but bloglines show that you have 19 subscribers, so we're out there!squabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331300021276105250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-34939847495322023072007-04-30T17:01:00.000-04:002007-04-30T17:01:00.000-04:00first, i am blushing but glad i didn't come too fa...first, i am blushing but glad i didn't come too far of as an idiot with that comment. there is so much to say and so much unsaid in my comment, and i'm glad i decided to post it instead of select-alling it and deleting. sometimes i get carried away with myself and my views (no!!) <BR/>for me, as a catholic it comes down to the free will that i believe God graces each of us with. of course even in this post-modern world there still remains clear-cut examples of good and evil, but my understanding of morality and moral decision making is just so much more nuanced now than it ever was, and i hate to see so many citizens in our country seem to be heading away from nuance and understanding. fr dan maguire over at marquette has taken a lot of heat over his writings- you could google him and get a look at what some progressive catholic theological approachs to abortion are. unfortunately he's been (of course) corrected by the usccb and the right has gone crazy over it, but i admire his courage to stand his ground. the church is a three legged stool, and theologians have an equal leg as the hierarchy and the faithful, no matter what some members of the body will believe. <BR/><BR/>ok, deep breath...there is something about the warmth that brings out the long-shelved hippie in all of us i think. i was cranking the DMB this weekend in the hopes of some inspiration to write. i loved the indigo girls and still get excited when they get played on the radio. how's that for being a nerd? my husband is trying to get me to bring our canvas bags to the store but i would use the 4 of them and still need 12 plastic ones afterwards. we joined a CSA this year for fruit and produce, *and* we have a compost pile, too! does that qualify for membership in your commune? i think we'd have some fun. <BR/>if i had a blog, i would link to you. and i certainly hope you don't stop writing (or commenting) b/c i always want to high-five you when i read what you wrote. and if that doesn't win the award for nerdiest non-hipster mama, i don't know what will.<BR/>enjoy the sunshine, amy!pnutsmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051488790948822324noreply@blogger.com
