DISQUS

What a lovely post! I am so happy I got to meet you this year! I hope to see you more in 2009! Let's make that happen! :)

Happy New Year!!!

I may not comment here often, but I definitely like your writing...I will, for sure, stick around for the ride! :)

Great post. Another tool that sometimes reduces the amount of comments one might get is the "Share" option with Google Reader. For instance, I just "shared" your post and wrote the following Note with it: "I agree with Dave that when someone comments on a post I've done, it's kind of like "tipping the server" ... or for me, when I get a comment it's like opening a Christmas present every time! (Even if it's one in which the commenter disagrees w/ me.) :) I try to always comment on their blog when a post touches me, even if it is to say "Great post." just to let the writer know I appreciated the time they took to write it.”

Now, I could have skipped coming over here to write this comment, but I made a point to in order to "tip the server" and let you know that I appreciated your post! :)

Had a great time, Dave! Thanks for putting this together!

Congratulations!!! :)

Squee!!! Congratulations!!!!

I was SO happy you got to come up! It was great to see you! :)

This is an excellent list. I think I will print it out and use it as a guide to go by for myself! :)

Goodness gracious, my mouth is watering!

Happy Birthday, John!!!

I'd have totally gone with you, 'cept for the whole childcare situation, but even if you don't have any takers, I think you should go and enjoy the evening! Sometimes we are our own best company.

I hope you have a great day!

hahahaha! That is a great video! Heeee!

It was so nice to meet you finally!

P.S. I just posted pics over at my Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gingerge/sets/7215...

Oh lord...you and I have a lot in common...and you're only on #2!!!

Oh. My. Gosh!!! I LOVE Ellen so much! I hadn't seen this clip before, either. As I put on my blog last month, I truly believe she was put on this earth to teach people about tolerance through her realness and humor.

She's a God-send.

This is wonderful! It sounds like Jane Fonda (his ex-wife, who is now a Christian) is being a very good influence on him. Great news.

Wonder what Joan Rivers would say about your Oscar attire? ;)

I've been following Santa onNORAD and Google Earth...it's been so interesting!

Merry Christmas, John!

I wonder if Pat Robertson plans to “rescue” ORU the way Jerry Falwell “rescued” The PTL Club…

Holy cow...I was just coming on here to say the very same thing...

nooooo...pleaz tell tiz a joke...

(actually, I love it...I think it's hilarious!)

Excellent post, John.

I have so much I could say on this topic, but I think for now I'll refrain. *sigh*

oooh, that's cool!!!! :)

That was heart wrenching.

My daughter has to go through that everytime her father drops her off at home after his weekends with her. It just sucks.

hahahaha!!! That is SO true! :)

How fun! Good luck on making it in the play!!!!
