It IS flattering. But then you have to choose. I remember what it was like to be chosen last. I don't want to do that to the people I read.

And I'll be by to see your Saturday Art.<BR/><BR/>joyce-anne: I can't wait for you to start a blog.<BR/><BR/>myst_72: Hey. We've seen that RACK. You would have gotten picked first with any team I ever played with.<BR/><BR/>witchypoo: But that is, after all, part of the play. Flattering the recipient. But we've been through all that. I'm glad you understand.<BR/><BR/>eve grey: I learning a lot of that from the people out here - honest. Just look at Vikki North.<BR/><BR/>lady language: Hi, Cheesehead!! For those of you who might not understand that reference, people from Illinois (me) are wont to call, from time to time, people from Wisconsin (LL) cheesehads, because Wisconsin is famous for cheese, and the flatulent bovines who are the source of a things cheesey.<BR/><BR/>maggies mind: Maggie, if you don't want to award them, that's okay. I understand too well the motivation NOT to pass on the Awards.<BR/><BR/>Hyphen Mama: yes, boys and girls, Hyphen Mama got her painting yesterday evening. The UPS covered wagon showed up at her door and delivered an unblemished and unharmed package. One or the other of us will display a picture of the framed image soon. Perhaps, both of us. Who knows?

So? I kind of haven't. I mean, some of the decisions are made, and the post is sitting in my drafts, and I might still pull the trigger once I put a few finishing touches on the post, but I might not. I might just do a thank you mention post and then dole them out once in awhile or never. Not in the spirit, I know, and I do want to make someone else's day by awarding, but I, too, have a difficult time choosing. All this blather is just my way of saying that I get it and to thank you for letting me know that others feel this way, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-80697838344800826462008-09-19T10:47:00.000-05:002008-09-19T10:47:00.000-05:00It's nice that you are doing the awards, but I thi...It's nice that you are doing the awards, but I think the blogroll is a nice way to pay homage.
