For those who ...Stephen, thanks for guest posting. For those who might be wondering why Stephen has not responded to comments, he let me know that he has been unable to access the comments for a few days. Maybe he'll stop by when he is able to do so.<br /><br />Thanks to all who left comments. And especially to Gary: I will stop by your site soon. I think of you often (especially when I see your comments on other sites). I have been very negligent in commenting of late and I apologize. The bad thing is that it might stay like this for a while. Sigh! I'm trying, but life keeps interfering.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-22531827137955768772012-09-25T17:35:21.585-07:002012-09-25T17:35:21.585-07:00Hey Lee and Hey Stephen,
Good to see how involved ...Hey Lee and Hey Stephen,<br />Good to see how involved you are with that amazing challenge that brings further awareness of the alphabet, Stephen.<br />To just touch one one point. There are numerous times where I come upon a comment by a blogger I haven't visited for awhile when I notice a comment by them on another site. For instance, that's why I am here visiting Lee's site and leaving this comment. And maybe Lee might notice that I have left this comment, click on the icon and notice that yes indeed, I still blog. <br />And Stephen, I shall come and visit your site. It's been ages since I visited your site. I even promote both of your blogs via various social networks. Did you know that? Stephen, we are even Farcebook friends :)<br />I do my best to reciprocate to each person who comments on my site. I even do my best to comment back to each person individually on my site. I appreciate that isn't quite as possible when you get a lot of comments. There you go, I'm rambling. And with that, Stephen and Lee, this disjointed, bordering on incoherent comment will abruptly end!<br />Happy writing to you both, Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-11563577871527641742012-09-25T14:58:46.854-07:002012-09-25T14:58:46.854-07:00H1ON1 seems like the kind of book that I would lik...H1ON1 seems like the kind of book that I would like to read!

That book sounds great! Thanks for passing it along. I tend to be pretty straight forward when responding to comments (I'm just delayed in doing THAT sometimes). If I see something that sidetracks me I'll open it in a new window and make myself continue on until I'm done. Then I can look at what sidetracked me and go from there.<br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a> Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-53165566902557180572012-09-24T19:01:42.289-07:002012-09-24T19:01:42.289-07:00That does happen to me when I'm trying to retu...That does happen to me when I'm trying to return visits on blogs.<br />I also have started downloading more free books.Susan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-86263576709758921232012-09-24T16:30:03.231-07:002012-09-24T16:30:03.231-07:00I totally get sidetracked when responding to blog ...I totally get sidetracked when responding to blog comments too!

On my post days, I work my way through the blogs in my list, commenting on as many as I can. Other days, I just visit anyone who comments on my blog.

That's why I wind up getting behind on my blog reading each week. There are so many great bloggers/blogs and not always enough time to get to them all. All we can do is the best we can do.<br /><br />I've downloaded some free Kindle books (have a Kindle for PC), but don't get to read them as much as I'd like, because I can't sit in front of the PC all day.
