Where Have all the (Bloggers) Gone, Long Time Passing

We were doing a training class for our associates last week.  The training was on safety and we were watching a video.  The video discussed fire safety and went over the old "stop, drop, and roll" strategy for what to do when you catch on fire.  Good advice although I think my first respond if I caught on fire would be to yell "oh *hit!" before remembering the preferred strategy.

It got me to thinking.  Sure I was thinking how many times I almost self-immolated on my deck as I was lighting the grill but really it got me to thinking about blogging.

I have been doing this for almost 2 years now and reading blogs of this genre for about 6 months ahead of that.  At the risk of alienating my many blogging friends, there are 6 blogs that really stick out in my mind over this time.  For me they are my "stop, drop, and (read)" blogs.  These are the blogs that as soon as I saw a new post I would drop what I was doing (if at all possible) and read ASAP.

Sadly of those six only one remains, Prowling with Kat.  One of my "stop, drop, and (read)" blogs just announced it's denouement (and yes I googled that word).  Sex and the Shitty was always one of my favorites.  I think the best thing I can say about Elle is that she made me laugh.  In a tough world that is a pretty good thing to do.  I always enjoyed reading about Elle's quirky and unconventional experiences and takes on life all set to her wacky and hilarious cartoon images.  I still laugh at her cartoon image of running into the office in great need of peeing (after drinking too much coffee).  And my goodness what a wonderful singing voice.  Elle, I would almost consider treating you like crap just to get a wicked cool song like that written about myself (just kidding)!

Anyway, here's to you Elle!

And here's to my other "stop, drop, and (read)" blogs present and past.
