I have been reading some blogs I just found, but not commenting on them. Does that make me a lurker?
Should I feel guilty about not commenting?
This is all about blog etiquette, as Lynn from
A Tired Mama discussed in her blog the other day.
Sometimes I can't think of a comment worthy of the blog.

Yes Patti...sorry to say, you are a lurker...I may have to call out the National Guard! Just kidding, I don't think that you should feel guilty, sometimes people just want to observe a blog and aren't ready to get involved in a particular blog. In my humble opinion there is nothing wrong with that...although after a while, it would be nice if you commented just to let them know that you are reading their blog.
Whew, you had me going on that lurker label.
It is hard always coming up with a comment worthy of the post you just read, that's for sure. I had an anonymous commenter comment on 5 of my posts today, so I'm not sure what's better ;-)
Lurking is an absolutely acceptable activity. I should know...I lurked for years before finally breaking down the wall and actually entering the conversation.
Michael - I would never comment anonymously. To me it's better not to comment than to hide under the cover of anonymity.
Joan - Thanks for telling me lurking is acceptable. P.S. Did I miss something or have you yet to inform us about the progress of your deck project?
yup, a lurker reads and runs! ha ha
just say hi or something. i get really down sometimes when i see i had 145 visitors and i got 12 comments. i have done posts about it before too. i know my cousins read the blog and they never ever left a single comment. but keep blogging honey, okay???

Hi bee, thanks for visiting me and leaving a comment.
I plan to keep blogging, it's quite therapeutic. Not to mention fun.
Keep the blonde jokes coming. ;~)
No Patti, you haven't missed anything. It's a long complicated story but the deck is STILL not finished and progress is at a standstill right now. I've been trying to decide whether to write about it now or wait until it finally is done...if that ever happens. What do you think?
I would write about it now...updates are interesting.
i just did a blog about this. just say hi, stopped by. anything. i have so many hits and so few comments i am getting really creeped out, like someone is peeking in my window. i know that sounds strange, but i really feel like that! so if you visit me, say hey, okay?
smiles, bee
omg, i just saw i was already here! i am losing what is left of my mind i guess! ha ha.... sorry, bee
