Hysterical!!!<br /><br />I dunno, I think this is a whole lot of fuss about nothing. But I'm not involved either. There are stupid people everywhere, doing and saying stupid, thoughtless things. I just refuse to let 'em under my skin anymore and let them dig their own holes.<br /><br />I blog for totally different reasons and never wanted ads on my blog, nor to make money from it. (my card shop blog excluded, obviously!) I blog because I love to write, I love to talk about being a wife and mother, I love having my own place to rant, I love meeting new friends from all over the world - I just love it!<br /><br />Except the bitchiness that comes with grouping women together. That always sucks monkey ass.<br /><br />There you have it folks, my two cents. First of all, the picture you posted is SOOOO going in my "to save for a rainy day" file folder. Hysterical!!!

You have a way with words. I just don't understand why people insist on taking something and blowing it out of proportion. Trisha shouldn't be attacked the way she is for doing something we wanted her to do. We wanted to take a week off and we wanted to do it together. It has nothing to do with our feelings towards PR. I love the PR people I work with. They have been great. They also understand that I want a break and support me taking a week off. Great post. You have a way with words.

I have been blogging for over 15 months now, mainly because I love to write. I do not write every day (I wrote a lot at first but, in fact, I'm lucky to put up 2 posts a week now), because I do have a life. I don't have the traffic that many bloggers involved in the blackout have; I average around 13,000+ unique visitors a month and to date I have never had a review/contest/giveaway. So I'm proud that my traffic comes purely from my content.<br /><br />I have for the last 3 months averaged 3 PR emails a week wanting me to do reviews, etc. I just replied back with thanks, but no thanks or deleted them. That being said I am going to start doing some reviews/giveaways but only if it's something I would buy myself. <br /><br />But I do thank you and others in the momdot community because I will make sure to NOT stray from what is important.<br /><br />I btw, have absolutely no problem with bloggers making money from their blogs. And every blogger should take a vacation. I do several times throughout the year. No I may not be compensated while I'm on "vacation" but I also am blessed to get to work from home and make my own hours. And best of all spend more time with my family! That pay off is far better than a paid vacation!<br /><br />Donna<br />http://www.blogbydonna.com I find it sad, really, that so many bloggers weren't writing for themselves to begin with.

Just a thought.
