Aloha Friday - #68


Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.

Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog.

My question this week:

Does it ever bother you when you ALWAYS comment on certain blogs and they NEVER comment back?

My answer:

It used to..... Now, I just do not comment as often. I feel that if I take the time to comment, you can respond at some point... I know some blogs are bigger than others, but every now and then, I think it is nice! :) That's just me though...

Have a great weekend!
Don't forget to enter to win the Carmex Tinted Tubes... Ends tonight!!!
Also, stop by my Project 365... and feel free to join up!

    Ah, very true! I don't expect comments from blogs I occasionally comment on though. But, if I am frequently commenting then yes. I have to admit I am not always good about it myself. Though I try to vist my commenter's blogs often.

    It would if I could keep track, which I cant. Also I am terrible myself at commenting on other blogs. I try, there is just never enough time in the day.

    It does!! These days, I don't bother visiting those who don't reciprocate.

    So glad there are bloggy pallies like you who make a difference in blogosphere.

    Yes. I know some people blog to post and not respond.
    I love blogs that do respond and I visit them most often. They appear to be building community with their readers and I want to be part of that.

    Well is did bother me in the beginning. Now I choose who I comment on wisely and just go with the flow. I would love it even if folk would say "hey I stopped by". However I no how long it take to stop and comment. I do love reading the comments though. Have a great day commenting.
    My Friday question for you

    Yes, but I will be honest, there are times I don't respond back to my commenters....I am lousy at that....

    Yes, it used to bother me as well. But, then I gave up. By commenting I am trying to make a connection, so, if they never comment back I take it as they don't want to connect.

    Sometimes. Sometimes I'll get a thank you from someone and an apology. I get really annoyed with hops when people link you to a non-meme post such as a giveaway.

    Have a great day!

    I agree with you dahlin'.

    I always try to respond and visit the blog that visits me. And even if I don't get to on the same day. I leave it in my email until I can go visit.

    Have a lovely weekend!

    I agree with you. I don't always have time to respond to every comment, but I try! If I leave several comments on a blog and get no response, I generally stop commenting.

    But you never know who you'll meet through blog comments. ;)

    I don't usually respond to comments I get (unless it's an outright question), but I ALWAYS go and read their blog and leave a comment for them there. Does that count?

    I'm with you - I don't expect a response to every comment. But, there are a couple blogs that I have regularly commented on for months or longer and have never received any type of response. It's a little frustrating.

    On the other hand, I hate when someone comments on my blog but their comment is set for that "no-reply comment" thingy...because then it's not as quick and easy to respond to them.

    I always feel like I am always the one visiting and commenting other blogs but never get reciprocated as my blog don't get visited and I don't get good comments. Does this bother me? Not anymore because I like blog hopping, joining memes and commenting on good posts, whether I get reciprocated or not.

    It used to bother me, but not as much anymore...but I don't spend hours commenting on a bajillion blogs like I used to, 'life' always seems to get in the way.

    I rarely reply to comments (unless there's a specific question) but I always make an effort to visit the blog of the commenter and leave a reciprocal comment. It might take me a week to do that, but it does eventually happen! ;)

  18. If SHE can figure it out..........January 8, 2011 at 12:30 PM

    I agree! I TRY to visit everyone who comments on my blog (not a huge number, cause I'm new at this). If I don't get a chance to visit their blog, I at least leave a little response. I don't know if I'll be able to that as my blog *hopefully* grows! BTW, I got my email fixed now - thanks for letting me know!

    I agree... I have stopped commenting on a couple of blogs because I just don't have the time to visit everyone. So I use my time to visit those that seem to want to make friends. I do try to respond to everyone that comments on my blog at least with an email if I can't get over to their blog. I really do try to connect with everyone... that is the whole reason I started blogging.

    I guess when I post I have never expected any kind of response. I think commenting at times is my only way to vent or just feel like I have been able to say something without being interrupted. (With seven kids in the house-I get interrupted trying to say "Hi") So, if someone responds or reads my blog that is wonderful but if they don't all is good.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on... ...
