I would like to thank the academy!!!
The academy of BUDDYSLIMMERS that is!!!!
So, I am gonna be honest here. I simply dont take kindly to these blogs that scream out “Hey, look at me…” And by that, I mean the ones that say “I am leaving the site because so and so hurt my feelings” or “You people suck because you dont support me like I THINK you should”. You all know the ones I mean…I absolutely HATE it. It starts an endless, vicious circle, EVERY TIME…
My last blog got 5 comments. FIVE. I have 100 buddies. Now, I could whine about that, but instead, I KNOW that the reason for that is because I havent been here giving MY support like I should. Additionally, there are some blogs that rock it, and some blogs that dont. Period. I have some blogs with 30 comments. And some with 1. Just depends on who was feeling me that day, you know?
At any rate, I am going to take at least THIS moment. On THIS blog to give some shout outs to some folks who SINCERELY deserve it.
For the truth is, I have NOT been a great buddy lately. I have even left my poor forum support folks hanging and I do so apologize.
If your name is NOT on this list, do not be offended. There are MANY of you who touch me, inspire me, and amuse me DAILY. But these folks are CONSISTENTLY good buddies…
So to: Jessica, Khrys, Mindy, Theresa, and Stacianne, THANK YOU for all the booster notes. I log in after a couple of days and WITHOUT FAIL you guys have left notes or emails for me. THANK YOU!!!
To Miss Nancy, the Booty Bouncing Blogging Phenom… Shanna and Lori (Who used to be just an apple!), thank you for almost ALWAYS reading or responding to my blogs. I appreciate it!!!!!
To my very special buddies, my long long long LONG timers…LOL… Jo, Catrina, Kama, and Bette Jo, Thank you for being my buddy for so long. For commenting. Saying hi. Inspiring me. Etc. Catrina, I hope you and your husband are having the time of your lives right now!!
And a very special thanks to anyone who has EVER read one of my blogs or felt my story was worth reading…
You get out of this site what you put in. Period. Always. No one can lose this weight for you. You either do it or you dont. And if you dont you come out here to figure out why…And if you do, you come out here and tell us all how! 
Also, welcome back to Angie and Tamira. Two of my very first buddies wayyyyy back in 2006. I hope you guys stick around for a while!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Yay, yeeppee, clap, clap
you get out what you put in with everything in life. AND nobody ever said it would be fair.
SWEET!!! I hope you enjoy your award, you deserve it! Dont stop speaking the truth!
Amen!
I feel ya!
Thank you for your blog! I think you said exactly what most of us feel about posts like that. You are doing awesome!! Thank you
I just love your positive attitude. Who in the world wants to listen to a whiner? That’s the last thing I want to hear, this is the place for ‘positivity’…if that’s even a word.
thank you!! it needed to be said and you did it perfectly!!
I completely agree with you. I have been too busy today to get on here til now, was there another one of “those” blogs? Lordy… I havent come across it yet, maybe I won’t— hee hee hee. As usual, you hit the nail on the head— have a great day tomorrow!
Ha! I agree 100%—I know those blogs that BEG for attention…although to be honest, I do feel them. It sucks, specially when you’re starting out, to see other people get more support than you do….I guess…I wouldn’t know REALLY because to me, it’s about QUALITY, not quantity, which is why if you see my list of buddies, I have less than 20. I have been on this site long enough to know better.
That being said, I want to THANK YOU for everything you have done for me…which has been a lot…you’ve been with me through thick and not so thick and thick again!! LOL! And I of course, have nothing but love for you baby!!
Let’s get this done shall we?
Well said
and THANK YOU TOO!!!!
Lori (not just an apple anymore) LOL
AMEN!
Spot on girlie. You definately get what you put into this site. Well said.
THANK YOU!!! I knew I wasn’t the only one frustrated by those blogs! LOL
Well, it seems some people simply don’t utilize the site to the full extent. As the old saying goes, you get out of it what you put into it.
By the way, I am getting a lot out of it. Doing good.
Ditto, and AMEN!!! You have to give to get, right on, woman! People who say their is no support here, don’t seem to want to give it. Hugs, Kama
I totally agree as well! This site is fantastic… everyone stuck with me through my pregnancy and is still here to cheer me on to finish what I started last year! Love it!!
AMEN, Dawnie! I think we’ve all had our ups and downs, but here we are and those true buddies are still around supporting us!
