HEY, NEWBIES...THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!
(Introduction: I was browsing the blogs & this came up under "other blogs". A blast from the past, as it were.Anyway, as there are a quite a few recent 'Newbies' (in fact, since this was first put up, a number of newbies have become oldies ) and undoubtedly there are more shy viewers ...AND, with the changes CS has recently introduced, making one comment on this is easier than coming up with a whole new blog...
I'm gonna make that comment! )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
....Looking at the stats for several blogs, I've noticed a great number of "Views" relative to "Comments".
Being a curious type, I began wondering why that is so.
Thinking back, I was on CS several months before I even DISCOVERED the blogs.
(Thanks to the suggestions of a couple very thoughtful people...
who also gave me pointers - and encouragement - for offering comments.
You know who you are. )
Even with that encouragement, it was some time before I haltingly & shyly offered my first one or two comments
Anyway, I suspect many(!) of those "Views" are folks just needing a gentle nudge to join the CS Blog Family.
Well, newbies - ya just ran out of excuses - cuz...
THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!
Hop in!
Let us get to know you!
Don't worry that you'll make a fool of yourself! ...
What the hell...there'll be quite a few new faces here
...
& they won't know any more about this than YOU do!
So...even if you DO make a complete @ss of yourself...
no one's gonna be savvy enough to know it anyway!
You just can't GET a better deal than THAT!!
Besides...
Some bloggers ROUTINELY make fools of ourselves!
...er...uhhh...I mean THEMselves, of course!
Ain't no big whoop!...
You get used to it!...
It actually gets EASIER the more you do it!
Sooo...Here's a big WELCOME TO THE BLOGS...
to all you Bloggers-To-Be!
JUST RECEIVED THIS!
...CS might pony up a dandy set of steak knives for the first five people to offer their First-Time-Ever-Comment on THIS blog!
Comments (79)
Congratulations!
I did the
"Highlight /Web Search trick"
on that Aretha Franklin tune.
Worked like a champ!!
Went RIGHT to the YouTube vid!
First to do that on this blog!
Not a First-Comment-Ever, but STILL... a first.
I'll see if I can wrangle a dandy set of steak knives outta the skinflints for ya!
Er...Uhhh...I mean...arrange with the generous powers that be to broaden their qualifications for receiving a dandy set of steak knives.
Can I have the money instead? Please!...
Glad you are here with us and hope you enjoy the blogs and the giggles
DC, will be dealing with her equivalent to her harem of men

"Prettier than Miclee..."

Wellll Yeaaahhh, Sherlock!
Ya don't expect 'em to throw their OWN party, do ya?
How do ya suppose that'd come off?
A bunch of newbies all hangin' 'round....

................................................

Newbies....
Runnin' their own party.......
It's not a good idea to underestimate the newbies...
we don't know what they're capable of...just wait and see
A few ribbons and a bit of rouge and you'll be just as purdy as a daisy, Mic.
I am really new here and fresh from microwave...
while others may be ..more reserved ..in their approach ..and perhaps ..I'm more like the latter I guess....
occasionally ..I might happen to notice ..some topic ..in discussion ..that inspires me to make some comment...but ( mostly ) I'm just another faithful ..( looker ) ..of these lively ..and often fascinating ..blogs ..
regards from...( down - under ) ...
Me included i gues
Ive been on CS for a year and never really joined the blogs .....
...will be contributing to the discussions now though :D
I don't care if you frisk me...but not Angel. She might charge me a frisking fee + tax (which will be a lot).
I like CH's idea! She wants to show me around and have some fun! She is going to have Miclee buy our dinner and drinks! WOW, what a lady!
I am such a lucky guy...having 3 beau!tiful women wanting to care for me!
Ok ladies, let me know when you are ready? Remember, I am kind of shy
Sorry I didn't include you. But you are included in everything!
Can you tell me more about it as I am a newbie here, please!
....
A kinda nostalgic stroll down memory lane here
Some who commented have moved on...one way or another.
.............................
Mic, can I buy you a cup of coffee? feeling lonely here
I remember when I first met you. It was in one of my blogs concerning my work. You're such a gentlemen. A lot has changed since that blog, including my job.
And some .....
I remember that blog, Shine!
Congrats on the new job!
ALLLL....ABOARRRD!
I oughta start a regular transportation gig...like Uber.
Reading some of those old comments and looking at the pics of the bloggers it seems they havent aged a day
This online life sure is good for the complexion
CS should use this blog to promote the site...
"Connecting Singles - Your Online Fountain Of Youth!"

Earth!
Thanks for the vid!
Personally, I feel the lyrics truly reflect my attitude...
