A Link Leak Thank You Party

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 11:05 pm

In Due Time

Tuesday Open Comments Night, last night lasted well into my Wednesday. I woke up to find that fine folks had carried on the spirit of conversation for another week. If you missed it, or I missed a chance to say a personal thank you, please know that I’m always thinking it . . . even when we’re not having a party about it.

The Link Leak Virus was with us as well. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes at Open Comment Night they become a link free-for-all.

Welcome to every person who came, especially Delphine. Your entrance WAS spectacular and just as folks around here tend to do it. It was a great time having every one of you!

Cool links were shared time after time.

Thanks for the Memories

Hello Delphine, no worries, every week someone gets lost
shows up late or goes to the wrong post.

Joe declares there’s a time warp around Successful-Blog
That throws everything a few comment off.
This week a black hole was his story.
Mike said that would save him time in purgatory.

Meanwhile Char had brought a cool new site
Chris was sure that Savannah became Chicago last night.

Doug needed some gifts. He was thinking about giving coffee
I saw the wood box sets and said they looked great to me..

Trisha said picking out gifts for others is hard,
Then she immediately suggested a popular favorite — the Amazon gift card.

Enter Carolyn teasing Chris about the cold.
The came Roger who had no idea that discussing Altman would make us feel old.

Thank goodness for Rick who shed some light on Altman’s career.
and for Starbucker who said hello while naming Altman films, M*A*S*H* and “The Player.”.

Cat was thinking about a male version of Char’s new site.
Leon stopped in after he had his burger for the night.

Ah Pek delivered his usual snappy one liner.
Renée came with a warm reminder of Thanksgiving and hugs for the ones we love.

Christine is coming to Chicago to do what she does best.
Delaney let us help pick what her students would be using to get ready for their next test.

Candice let us know that a refrigerator has been know to hold a laptop on more than just Christine’s behalf.
That Mike Sansone could call himself a Caboose is more than a laugh.

Jonic stopped in and Minic of the Blogging Times did as well.
HART and Carl came as I was about to say Sleepy Swell.

The conversation went on for hours more.
Meikah must have been the instigator. Hans surely helped her.

When I got up in the morning they had only left two hours earlier. . . .

So you see, Delphine, you weren’t late you were just early for next week. :)

    Thanks for the link, Liz!

    I didn’t say much (I think 2 comments) so I thought I was lost in the crowd. I guess I was wrong. You found me!

    Happy Turkeyday! ;)

    Renée, I always hear you. You always things from a point of thoughtfulness and sincerity. I listen for that. You add depth to our conversations. That makes them stronger, deeper, and broader. :)

    That’s very nice of you to say such nice things about me. I wish I can match up…hehehe!!!

    I was thinking of emailing you last night but chose not to. People are always busy this time of year, and you might be one of them. Nothing urgent, anyway.

    Cheers, be good, and don’t drink too much!

    Renée,
    Thank you for thinking of me last night. I was where I always am — right here inside your computer. :)

    I’m having a quiet Thanksgiving. Shhh don’t tell, but it’s also our 23rd Wedding Anniversary. I’ll be around home most of the day taking care of things for my business, my blogs, and my clients.

    But we’re going out to lunch mid-afternoon. :)

    Hey Renée!
    I wish that the only mistakes I made were the kinds that you make. :)

    Did you know that my husband I got married in 42 days. We were so foolish. On the other hand, I would hand either dumped him or killed him had we not.

    How’s your new car, by the way?

    Renée said

    Liz, you are full of surprises. And you place your trust on a man you’d known for 42 days? Hat off, Liz!

    T and I had been engaged for 13 years, we would have gone on longer if it wasn’t for our parents.

    Oh, you remembered! T has placed the order but it won’t be here until we are back from our Christmas vacation. The only clue I got from him is that it is red with four wheels, a solid top, and he can fit in comfortably.

    Renée,
    I’m laughing because I’m thinking I’d want to know what car he ordered even if I married him after 42 days. :mrgreen:

    Liz,
    I just wanted to thank you for the warm welcome!! I’m sorry I found this late, the holiday was very relaxed and mostly away from the keyboard.

    I really need some lessons from you in time management and blogging!
