A few notes on other blogs I stalked my way through this morning.

--First of all - scratch the DeBunkem alert. He has stepped forward and explained the WORD in another of his deep and thought provoking blog entries. Way to go.

--Scratch of "Echos of the Tomb" fame decides to stay with Blogstream after venturing out into the blog world and discovering that the vibe is better here. Good choice Scratch.

--The PrairePrankster in his blog, "The Paradox of the Prankster," writes poetry for the soldier's safe return - "Be safe come home soon," he wrote. Makes me wanna cry. I echo his sentiment. Every day is a good day to pray for the safe and speedy return of our soldiers.

--Ethelmermaid in "Life in Phoenix" writes about her attempts to train her Lab/Shepherd, rescue guy before guests come for turkey next month. We like this gal.

--A welcome to Tinkerbell, "Tink" and her blog, "A Walk in My Marching Shoes."

--Spiffyqueen wrote installment 3 of the things that gross her out. Nothing left to the imagination on this one. Fun blogging queen.

Congratulations to all the great blogs that made the Featured List. Keep blogging neighbors and remember, everyday is a good day to be kind to your neighbors.

Alert, alert, a man of many blogs appears to have disappeared and left the blogging world with only two measly WORDS! Find him mama, bring him back. There are two damsels waiting in distress for the meaning being, beneath, before and after or inside o f t h e t w o W.O.R.D.S.

I'm not going looking for a blog that rubs me the wrong way. All of the blogs on this site have value.

In the future I will feature blogs that I like. If something spontaneously rubs me wrong, I'll make mention of it. But really, with 3000 blogs on this site, if I'm reading yours - well, it's probably pretty good. Ok, yeah, I hold my opinion in high esteem.

Let's just say that the kindness of some of the comments have shown me the light. bs

Speaking of Mr. Blog Master, I like this guy. He answers our questions and addresses our concerns with kindness and respect. Plus, look at this site. Who can keep with all of the blogs? The folks that run this site are doing an outstanding job. The blogs are easy to find, easy to up-date, we can change our minds it we think better of a post after pushing submit and we can delete. That's big. I've used that one a couple of times - mostly when I can't keep myself straight. Photos are easy to upload. I like have our own favorite's list. Oh, and don't forget the comment section. The comments section has been a valuable feature for continued discussion, as well as for getting to know the human behind the blog. Hey, and we really can start a blog in 5 minutes. Applause and bows to Mr. Blog Master.

So, I'm wondering - when can we get those sexy black backgrounds for our blogs?

Well, staying true to my mission on this blog, I'm off to find one I don't care for. Except that I'm having a hard time being mean these days.

Should I or should I not name the blogs I don't like? I originally named the two yesterday but went back and deleted. I'm confuzzled.

Hey, look, the featured blogs list changed a little. Course, my ego was leveled. No problem though, I can take it. Though I'm tempted to shut my operation down and crawl under a rock to take solace with the earth worms. But, I take some measure in comfort at seeing several of my favorite blogs featured. My opinions have been validated and I can take comfort in not being a freak - or in being amongst like-minded freaks. Thank you Mr. Blog Master.
