I go on some blogs everyday and hardly leave a comment.I really don't care what you call me. And I try not to be politically correct, most of the time. I think blogging is about having fun. I have fun here and stop by everyday. I think I'll change my name from Grampy to Silent Reader. It has a good ring to it.<br />Have a wonderful day.

Mostly, my children start screaming and I have to intervine.<br />I just don't always have time to leave a comment. I really don't have time to write this one, but you are such an amazing blogger, Ann, that you get me thinking... "Maybe just one little comment.."<br />I don't like the sinister sound of "lurker". We should respect our readers, viewers and commenters. And you do. This is why your blog is being read and receiving many comments.<br /><br />Have to dash!<br />Hugs,<br />AnnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-53084307543961997582010-04-29T04:15:33.033-04:002010-04-29T04:15:33.033-04:00It would appear that I am not the only one who won...It would appear that I am not the only one who wonders about this.
