People abusing do followers kindness

by

I’ve been noticing a trend that disturbs me lately. I run the do follow blogroll and of course my sites are listed on it. In the past week there have been a number of people going around and leaving comments on all of my blogs and using website addresses rather than blog addresses in their signature.

Now, yes, I realize that no everyone has a blog, and some website owners do like to read blogs and leave comments. That’s not my beef. It’s people going around listing various different pages of their website in their signature and leaving comments that either don’t really go well with the post, or comments such “oh with the title of that post and your blog description I thought I’d find something like that here”. Maybe innocent enough, but when you see practically the same comment on a few posts on the same blog or on a few different blogs that you own you start to believe that people are just coming by to leave a link since your blog follows.

I love getting comments on my posts. However I’m starting to feel a bit used.

The do follow blogroll has been copied on to several sites and the people that are abusing the gift of links that follow are not members of the blogroll.

I set my blogs to follow because I want to reward my commenter’s for participating in the discussion and for hopefully being regular visitors. Those of us who have chosen to remove the nofollow tags from our blogs lose a tiny bit of our sites PR every time someone leaves a comment.

I would hope that those that leave comments can see why we want valid comments and not just spam to promote another persons site or to get a free link.

If you are following the blogs on the Do Follow Blogroll and leaving comments please only leave valid comments that add to the conversation of the post and don’t abuse our kindness.





Greek Shirts for Sororities and Fraternities

by

Want to visit a cool site and get a shirt for your sorority or fraternity? Perhaps your child, relative or friend is in sorority?

greekt-shirts.com carries a great line of greek shirts. You can choose from shirts with printed logos and designs, sewn on sorority or fraternity letters, or embroidered letters.

Visit the site today and check out their selection of T-Shirt styles too.

You can submit your own design or go through the site and find a design that’s perfect for the sorority or fraternity that you have in mind. Once you’ve chosen your design just follow the step by step instructions in order to pick out the design of the shirt, style, sizes and quantity.

I’ve found that the minimum order is 20 shirts. Creating that many shirts would be a great gift for your sorority or fraternity members.

Couch Potato

by

I spent the day yesterday on the couch. I never did get dressed. Nope. I stayed in my comfy PJ’s and just vegged out.

I’ve had an awful week. I have Crohns and it’s been acting up terribly. I’ve had little sleep in the past two weeks because of it. In fact, yesterday I’d stayed up all night because of the pain, and just as I was going to go to bed to try to get some sleep the pain suddenly got a lot worse. Knowing I couldn’t sleep until pure exhaustion took over I just stayed on the couch watching TV until I finally drifted off.

I didn’t really wake up until 6 p.m. yesterday. I still felt wiped out too.

I hate having days and weeks like this. It’s terrible.

Drug Rehab

by

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned in this blog that I’m a nurse. I’m actually an ER nurse. I probably don’t have to tell you that I see people at their worst. It just breaks my heart at times when I see someone that could possibly turn their life around come in time after time with drug overdoses. I wish we could get them all to go to rehab.

If you know someone that has a drug addiction try your best to get them to go into rehab. Better yet, if you can, you might want to read about the drug detox program at Stone Hawk and try to get the person in need of help into their drug rehab program. It sounds like they have come up with a well though out treatment plan.

It actually sounds like many of the people who currently work at Stone Hawk were once addicts themselves. Who better to understand what someone who’s addicted to drugs and who might be undergoing detox is going through than a former addict who’s been through all the stages themselves?

If you know someone in need of drug rehab take a moment to visit the site and get more information.

It’s not worth it!

Wordless Wednesday

Poor kitty! I feel the same way when I see Carrot Top on TV too.

Hope I’m not offending any of his fans but I just don’t think he’s all that funny. Do you?

That gun looks a bit too big for kitty to manage. Whoever photoshopped this photo should have made it a bit smaller I think.

I hope everyone’s having a great Wednesday!
