Sherry: Blogger, thanks for spending a few minutes chatting with me today.
Blogger: Well, I am pretty busy, but I understand you have a few things to say and thought I could help you clear up a few issues.
Sherry: Yes, as you know [you know everything, kind of like OZ in the Wizard of Oz], I am fairly new to this whole blogger gig and I have come to learn that it is freakin enormous!!! I literally had NO idea what to expect.
Blogger: Well, it has really gained in popularity in the last few years, the numbers are HUGE!
Sherry: Right, so when I started, I figured it would be friends and family, because I really could not figure out how other people would know I was doing it. AND...as usual, I did not read up on how to do it. I am really bad with directions, and after just getting the basics, I was all "OK...I can do this, I don't need to know anymore".
Blogger: Well Sherry, I hope you have learned your lesson. Your old enough to know better than that.
Sherry: Hey dude, we don't have to bring my age into this. I already have a husband who tells me those very words ALL the time. So back off buckwheat.
Blogger: Simmer down there cowboy, can we get back to why I am here please?
Sherry: Yes sorry, you just touched a nerve. OK, what I wanted to say [and please do not roll your eyes] is that in the beginning when I would receive a comment on my email, I would hit reply to send a follow up email to thank them. I thought....
Blogger: What? Are you for real? Did you not read that it said "no-reply"....
Sherry: Hey, can I finish please?
Blogger: Sure, this ought to be good [loud sigh]
Sherry: Cut me some slack, I never got one back, so I thought it was some crazy blogging phenomenon.
Blogger: Yea, well I am sure a lot of people thought you were SO rude by not answering their questions.
Sherry: I get it MR. BLOGGER....my bad. I feel really stupid that I did it for so long and did not figure it out sooner.
Blogger: OK, enough wining, I have things to do so we need to wrap up this little party here.
Blogger: You said it little lady! Come on, interviews on blogs can be boring with out pictures. Wrap it up.
Sherry: OK OK.....I hear ya. Thank to everyone for all of your comments and please know that there are replies somewhere out there in cyberspace. I WAS NOT IGNORING YOU.......if that is what you were thinking.
Blogger: We're done here, this was painful.
Sherry: Bite me.
