Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

   Mahalo nui loa Liz (thank you very much) this is quite an honor, to be thought of as someone who shares conversation to improve the blogging community. Pretty cool to be recognized for something that is so much fun to do! Start blogging and you never look back… feels so great to be in the arms of an online community that is smart, witty, open, and engaging, sharing their aloha so naturally and so freely, and you Liz, are mea ho’okipa, one of the most generous hostesses there are!
   Aloha kaua e, mahalo nui,
   Rosa

   Ah Karin!
   If you didn’t know what you were doing, you wouldn’t be in this situation.

   So you’re blaming me!

   Just kidding, am specially honoured to be named in the same list with Glenda

   Collin,
   I was so delighted with your blog when I discovered it. I love everything your blog stands for. You’re welcome, Collin.

   You’re not a stranger anymore.

   Hi Karin!
   You bet I’m blaming you — well, actually while I was typing that comment I was thinking that, if only she didn’t have that mentor, she wouldn’t find herself in situations like this.

   He’s great, isn’t he?
   (and you’re just plain jealous ;-))

   Writing a post (well, more a post about his company) at the moment.

   But anyway Liz, thanks for the blame eh, honour

    Why Karin! [Liz said in her Scarletr O'Hara voice]
    I’m sure I don’t know what you’re speaking of. I only have the most sincere admiration for the bountiful wisdom your mentor rains upon you like flowers in the springtime, while I toil and wander in the dirt.

    Karin said

    thinking out loud: should I do my Red Butler now?, Frankly, my dear.., better not

    I’ll send you some of his flowers, o.k.? Or rain drops, you choose.

    Oh Liz, now I’m stuck with that song in my head!

    (which is fine for a rainy Sunday afternoon here in Kent U.K.)

    ME Strauss said

    That’s the downside of having a great mentor. You see that don’t you?

15. March 4th, 2007 at 8:42 am
    Karin said

    Eh, no

16. March 4th, 2007 at 8:46 am
    ME Strauss said

    Well, said mentor led to the discusion of movies, which led to the mention of the song that got stuck in your head.

    So see if you had no mentor . . . the song wouldn’t be there. It’s logic.

    Hi Hans!
    I talked to David on Skype. He’s officially 13 now! So no worries.

    Haha… Yes. It had to come around. I am indeed 13! Thanks for the blog comment Hans!

    Hey David!
    Great to see you! Welcome to the family!
    I hope lots of folks here take the time to follow you home to see what a 13-year-old blogger can do to make an outstanding blog.

    Liz, Thank you for the SOB award.
    In Holland this award is not well known I guess (yet!).
    Maybe the post about this award on my blog will change SOB awareness in Holland a bit.

    Fred,
    I laugh to think I should give an awared for raising SOB awareness!! Welcome to the blog and the family. You’re not a stranger anymore.

    Of course he is, Liz, being Dutch and all
    (And for kindly bringing a link-error on my site to my attention)

    I can read everything on his blog too, being Dutch and all

    Karin,
    First the mentor. Now Fred. I feel so like a pair of wet dirty old socks.

    Ah, poor Liz

    Next thing we know you’ll start sobbing and we really can’t have that.

    It’s okay. Wet socks are wet already, and SOB is a common thing around here.
