		<description>Writer Dad,

thanks for including her comment. I&#039;m trying out various ideas to turn the Internet into an income, and it&#039;s good to read the advice of someone who&#039;s dealt with the doubt and has the business experience to put it into perspective.

And it&#039;s also good to pass on acts of kindness.

		<description>This is just another great example of what this blogging community has to offer.  There are plenty of hallow remarks made, just like the small talk we all deal with in the &#039;real world&#039;, but there are also plenty who backup their words with sound character.  Thanks for sharing these examples, Sean.  Eric

		<description>Hey Sean!  Persistence my friend!  You have the talent, your day is coming!

I don&#039;t really like the &quot;bar scene&quot; blogs.  It seems like some blogs act a singles bar for people to hook in new readers and lure them to their own blog.  In doing so, their comments are not authentic.  They&#039;re very PC.  How real is it if you pretend to be someone you&#039;re not to get readers to listen to your thoughts on your own blog?  My brain twisted a bit on that one. You are genuine and that is a treat!</description>

		<description>Mike: Oops... Good catch, thanks! I do not believe that kidness is a word.

Kool Aid: My pleasure. I know what you mean K to the A. I read 90% of my stuff in a reader as well.

Marc: My pleasure, Marc. I appreciate your constant support. I have some reading to do tomorrow, then I&#039;ll be getting right back to you.

Lori: “If you’re skating on thin ice, you might as well dance.” That made me laugh.  &quot;Also, promise to remember us little people when your books and blog make the Big Time!&quot; That made me blush. All I can say is, I&#039;m as loyal as a puppy.

GreenJello:  It made my job delightfully easy this morning. Thanks, Randi!

Vered: That&#039;s so true about the lax version of privacy. I can&#039;t imagine airing laundry in public. I may talk about my family, but it&#039;s always in broad strokes; never with a bulls-eye.

Tabitha: Thanks, Tabitha! Nice to see you.

Robert: I agree. Randi does have the wisdom. No one remembers their gadgets on their death bed.

Randi: They&#039;re yours whenever you want them.</description>

		<description>OK, one more...see how quickly I broke my promise?

Robert---I&#039;ll bet your family is so grateful to have you around more.  I have so many good friends, mothers, who chose to work full time, saying they &quot;need to&quot; to make ends meet. But in my mind I&#039;m thinking, &quot;Give up the bling bling, the Apple TV, the four-wheelers,  and the video games and you won&#039;t need to work.&quot;  (Not saying that&#039;s the case for every working mom, because I remember many lean years as I had to work to survive.)
