Many don't blog at the same time when I do, which means I miss their posts in my dashboard. I miss commenting and connecting with these old friends, but my blogging time greatly reduced compared to what it used to be.Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-47911592183148280112013-11-10T19:24:20.810-08:002013-11-10T19:24:20.810-08:00Such a pity that Saga blog didn't keep going. ...Such a pity that Saga blog didn't keep going.

Another has serious health problems that by her last post I fear have gone critical. I Have tried to get in touch by e-mail, but no response.<br /><br />Friends come and go. A precious few we hang on to; more we try to hang onto but they just go quiet. Blogging's the same way. You get attached only to lose them. But new ones come around, like you, Larry, and STM, and as long as that happens the whole thing is still worthwhile.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-12574442221964964942013-11-08T16:14:01.255-08:002013-11-08T16:14:01.255-08:00Wow!

I sincerely appreciate that!<br /><br />I'm a little late getting here because I just woke up. (These "graveyard" shifts are gonna put me in an early grave.)<br /><br />One blog that I DO MISS (because the blogger abandoned it a year ago) is GYPSY IN MY SOUL.<br /><br />http://gypsyjulesinmysoul.blogspot.com/<br /><br />She used to post some very entertaining blog bits, and then she just disappeared without a word. I know she was working on a genuine writing career, and so I hope that her blog silence is simply a sign that the career started to really take off and she had no more time for bloggin'.<br /><br />Lee, I'd obviously miss more than one blog if you ever quit (certainly I'd miss this one as well as 'A Faraway View' - your dream blog).<br /><br />I'd also certainly miss LC's 'Back In The USSR' - we need more political blogs like that one. I'd be very sorry to see my friend FAE discontinue her 'Far Away Series'; and another blog I've come to enjoy reading more and more in recent months is Robin's 'Your Daily Dose'.<br /><br />But every blog I 'Follow', I do so because I like a lot of what gets posted there, so just as you said, I really would miss every one of them if they suddenly went 'bye-'bye.<br /><br />Thanks again for mentioning me, McBuddy!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

I know there's an answer, but maybe those in charge are afraid of what could happen from it.<br /><br />LD -- You nailed my main problem--remembering. Not just the ones who are gone but the ones who still blog. If they don't leave a comment on my site I tend to forget them. Not actually forget them, but more accurately neglect them due to my own time constraints.<br /><br />Karen -- It is interesting to look at the old comment sections to see who are still commenting and who quit long ago. Your article about the spammers was very interesting.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-90879246566321160252013-11-08T13:56:18.929-08:002013-11-08T13:56:18.929-08:00what an interesting topic-- funny though is that I...what an interesting topic-- funny though is that I don't realize people have disappeared until I go through my really old posts and see the comments. Then I wonder what happened to all these people who I used to connect with so freely and now they seem to have disappeared. I have noticed on my Blogger reader that some of the blogs I followed in the past have been taken over by strange spamming types of sites. I think it happened when one closes down a blog and their URL is up for grabs, especially if there were a lot of followers.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378428503220197256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-73896961742647008192013-11-08T13:51:24.750-08:002013-11-08T13:51:24.750-08:00That one would be really difficult for me.
