Well, This Is a New One

All of your comments get emailed to me. So if you ever want to comment on a post I wrote in 2006, but wonder if I'll ever even see it, leave that comment. I will see it. Sometimes, I even forward the email with your comment back to you (if I can find your email address) with a comment of my own.

Every so often one of your comments gets stuck in Spam, but I check and within a week or so, find it. Today I found an email in Spam from someone who wanted to know if I'd like to review a product from their company on my blog.

This is what those mommy bloggers are always hoping for, isn't it? I should be honored, and excited and enthusiastic, right? Apparently the company will either pay money for my review, or if I'd like, they'll let me keep the product free of charge. Ooh, how exciting! Free shit!

As I was reading the e-mail, I thought to myself, "Sure, I'll review a product. I love having opinions on things. I'm low on money, so cash will be great!" And then I got to the bottom of the e-mail. Where it says what the product is, and all my hopes and dreams of having an exciting blog that reviews products came to a crashing halt. Because I'm not going to review a penis enhancer.

Guess I'll just have to stick to writing about people who trip and partners who get fired from law firms (coming soon).

Heck, if they're willing to pay you, why not review their penis enhancer? Of course, they might not appreciate your review....

You could have snuck some (unless it's... uh, in lotion/gel form) into 9am's coffee or cereal and sent them the reviews... you know, based on his dating habits.

:-) I guess what I am suggesting is quite criminal so here's a disclaimer: ENTIRELY NOT SERIOUS.

Hi. I've been lurking and reading and occasionally leaving (nice) anonymous comments for many months now. I enjoy your blog and thank you for sharing so much of yourself and your fun stories. You, and some other blogs I read regularly and/or irregularly, have inspired me to start my own blog. I have added you to my list of blogs on my site, but if you want me to remove the link, I will. Not that I expect my site to have any readers at all, or to generate much traffic. And don't worry, I'm not looking for a reciprocal link. I just wanted to say thanks for writing, and to give you the "heads up" on the link to your site in case you object for any reason.

Thanks for the great blog. :-)

Every time I click over here, for the past 5 days, I read the title of this post, and think, "Well, this ISN'T a new one."

No pressure. Unlike some others, I wait patiently.
