That is why they are there! I've met some amazing people/friends through my blog.

It makes my life richer in a new way, one not previously available to people like me!<br /><br />And I said it on facebook the other day and I meant it . . . the voices in your head get really loud when your children have grown up and moved away and your dog doesn't speak English. <br /><br />Thanks for your friendship, my most valued 42!susan m hinckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073318305866251569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-22177540875752315052010-11-16T20:59:10.863-06:002010-11-16T20:59:10.863-06:00As an aspie who is often either mute from fear or ...As an aspie who is often either mute from fear or to verbose (from nerves), to talk to people in RL....blogs ARE my way to feel connected to other people who I would be to shy to actually approach or who would be to freaked by my weirdness to talk to me . <br /><br />Keep on blogging and sharing your art, wit and wisdom as you do have friends out in cyber space who are listening .krexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928818585686147616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-67802837588359620912010-11-15T18:55:06.240-06:002010-11-15T18:55:06.240-06:00This is an interesting post.

It's strange that I visit with my online buddies at least a couple of times a week and see my local friends less than monthly. The line between friends in real life and online friends becomes even more blurred when you have friends IRL who live across the country. <br /><br />That said -- I think it's all very cool -- especially for anyone who's at all shy around new people IRL. What a fun way to make friends (And I bet you have more than 42).Karen Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471057380298714556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-75082355222244311262010-11-15T16:42:58.618-06:002010-11-15T16:42:58.618-06:00Usually I really enjoy Nora but I agree -- ouch, t...Usually I really enjoy Nora but I agree -- ouch, that one stings. Especially since 42 whole readers would be a lifetime blogging achievement award for me! But for me blogging is my talk therapy, and finding new friends has been a lovely bonus.<br /><br />Snow sounds like a good reason to stay inside and stitch -- and maybe watch Bonanza, haha!luannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988903685484563941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-35126532229685532132010-11-15T15:36:35.136-06:002010-11-15T15:36:35.136-06:00You have FORTY TWO!

How else could we have friends we visit with almost daily all over the world, who share common interests, and who think we are wonderful? <br /><br />Even if there weren't any readers I'd keep on blogging--for myself.
