The Mic Is On: We’re in Las Vegas!

April 10, 2007 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

We’re Talking About Las Vegas!

We might talk about

  • what’s to like about it?
  • gambling
  • shows
  • food
  • Wayne Newton
  • weddings
  • conferences
  • travel rates
  • weather

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

Oh, and bring a link, if you have one to share.

We Talked About. . . Food, Food, Food

April 4, 2007 by Liz

Food Crazy

Hi Everyone! Every week Sandy and I try to think how to sum all that we talked about but you know it’s impossible to capture the joy, humor, and comaradarie of 4 hours in one simple blog post. And as much as I like taking a clever comment and sharing it here, it sure takes time and once in a while it embarrasses folks.

So we’re going to stop trying to do the impossible, trying to retell a fabulous memory, and instead let you enjoy the comments as they were said whole.

It was a busy night. We were talking about how to foods and food memories. Oh my! What a relationship we have with food!

Wow!

You can read all about it in the comments sectiona>

Here are some cool links we shared.

  • Wendy Piersall
  • Write Compelling Posts
  • A Poem for Liz
  • Change the World: Be Nice
  • Productivity Goal
  • Interview with Wendy Piersall
  • Almost time to Passover
  • Sometimes Someone Has to Call You on Your Bull

Thanks to everyone for the cool links and for being part of the conversation.

See you next Tuesday? I sure hope so.

Bloggy Question 42: Responding to Comments

April 1, 2007 by Liz

Who Are Comments About?

For those who come looking for a short, thoughtful read, a blogging life discussion, or a way to gradually ease back into the week. I offer this bloggy life question. . .

This really happened.

I was talking to another blogger this week about comments and conversations. Our dialogue turned to the topic of interesting and noteworthy comments we’ve received on our blogs. My friend spoke of one comment that we found both curious and worthy of discussion.

The commenter was explaining the rights of a blog publisher to turn off comments when a post gets older, because “the comments on my blog are about me.”

My friend, the blogger, is interested in how you would answer that comment.

How do you respond?
