It's number 501

I wanted to take the time to thank my readers and commentors. I admit that I write for me, but without you, I wouldn't find it nearly as much fun. I wanted to list every regular, but, we get a couple hundred comments a week, and won't want to leave anyone out intentionally, so if you aren't mentioned, please understand it was an oversight, and I owe you one. Most bloggers write several blogs, so I picked the most well known, or at least the one I visit.

I wanted to do one of those nice little stories using blogs titles like Ettarose http://sanityonedge.blogspot.com/ does, but I'm not that talented.

So, instead I'm doing a shout out and quick mini blog review to anyone who posted on my "favorites" thread Monday, and as many of my regulars as I can remember. I highly recommend everyone read my regulars because obviously, they are able to recognize quality. To my readers and friends Photobucket

Jen said...

Joe, thanks for the shout out. I look forward to your comments on all my blogs. They make writing them worth all the fuss.

I haven't read all 500 of your posts but I've stopped by everyday since I discovered you back in November. Yours is a must read for me.

You picked some great blogs here. I know most of them but there are some I haven't seen yet but with your stamp of approval I know I can't go wrong.

Congratulations on the 500 and here's to another 500.

Great list, and I am proud to be mentioned!

You forgot to mention I always have the coveted Zucchini Award!!

Thanks for the shout-out, Crotchety! Expect a story posted by me later tonight on my blogs commemorating your 500th post.

I'll put something like this in there -- "If you don't read Crotchety's blog everyday, you're a damned fool."

Rock on...

Lin said...

Thanks for the mention, pally! You have quite the blogroll and the following there! WoW! I'm honored to be on the list.

Even though I have rarely left a comment, just want you to know that I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. Your sense of humour and the way you express it is inspiring.

Cheers!

Da Old Man said...

@ Jenn: Thanks. In New Jersey, there could be a breakout at any minute, too.

@ Jen: Thanks. The first 300 were kind of lame, anyway.

@ Shyne: No, but it's hard to highlight your blog link, if you don't have a blog.
:)

@ The Hussy: You are one of the few, the proud, the Zucchinid

@ The Hawg: Thanks, you're too kind.
:)

@ Lin: Glad to have you there. I need to update my blogroll. My inherent laziness kicks in with tasks like that.

@ Adullamite: Thanks. It's because I post earliest.
:)

@ Robin: Thanks. Glad to know you are enjoying it. I appreciate your comments.

I'm not sure whether to be flattered or to send you an invoice.
Maybe I can do both. :)

Wow, Joe, thanks so much!! Boy, I am sure listed in some awesomely talented company!

Your blogs are among my favorites too. I was hooked ever since the hand down the pants one.

I think that is probably a very sad commentary about me and what I find funny. lol

I have also been aware for a long time that crotchety schmotchety, you have one of the kindest hearts in the blogging world. I am fortunate to know you.

So congrats on hitting 501!! My hundreth is coming up. Woohoo!! Par-tay!!!
