Because you have been such a fan and faith...Bernie,<br />Because you have been such a fan and faithful follower to my blog, you already know that I stopped posting awards too. <br />For those that still insist on giving them to me, I go on their blogpost and in their comment section I thank them profusely and reaffirm that I do not post them on my blog any longer. I may have lost one or two Followers thru this, but it has been SUCH a relief. <br />I found out that it was stressful to link back to the award giver plus to try and pick only 4 or 7 bloggers to pass them on to...I didn not want to offend the followers that I didn't pass them on to..it just got too hard.<br />And my husband, who doesn't blog pointed out the obvious to me about the whole award thing....he said...isn't is self serving? Wouldn't an award from a NON blogger to a blogger mean more? Otherwise, aren't you just awarding each other for advertisement of your own blog? Dang if he wasn't right.<br />I mean if the New York Times said in an article that my blog was fantastic, now THAT would be an award. ha <br />So, stick to your guns and your heart will be lighter. I promise.<br />It has been a huge weight off of my back.<br />And the Followers that really like you won't go anywhere.<br />If you are like me, their comments are my reward. And their friendships..like yours is to me.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-78814649093912344342009-08-12T10:38:11.422-06:002009-08-12T10:38:11.422-06:00Anvilcloud, I like to think most awards are given ...Anvilcloud, I like to think most awards are given with thought but I am not comfortable with them so have opted out and feel better since I "voiced" it.<br />I also think most bloggers are women (have no idea why....might be a good post) so the chances of them reading your blog are high. <br />It's nice as a woman to read a man's point of view so I enjoyed finding your blog.<br />Have a great day and thanks for stopping by I sincerely appreciate it.....:-) BernieBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-58404446518026941382009-08-12T07:14:59.285-06:002009-08-12T07:14:59.285-06:00If awards are given with thought and with the prop...If awards are given with thought and with the proper words, I appreciate them. But that's about it. I make a comment on the giver's post, and don't even post them on my own blog anymore. not that I get a lot. I think it's mostly a female thing ... as is blogging to some degree. Take a look at who comments here, for example.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-29185037124007292232009-08-11T13:10:16.233-06:002009-08-11T13:10:16.233-06:00Stillness, I love children and young people....so ...Stillness, I love children and young people....so easy to care for as one only has to love them and give them your attention and they give back so much in return.<br />Thank you for understanding about the awards....Take care my friend, (is your cough better)....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-38328606696421383972009-08-11T12:48:20.696-06:002009-08-11T12:48:20.696-06:00Hi Bernie!

I took an off from work and here I am doing what I love doing the most :D So glad to be reading you again!<br /><br />Now if someone stops following you because you didn't pass on the award/ accept the award, it wasn't following you to get to know you in the first place. In my honest opinion, I don't think you lost much. It is very nice to be receiving and sending award, but they aren't above our friendship is it!<br /><br />I am glad you had a nice day with the 10 year old. Time spent in the company of children is always so rewarding :) Loads of love Bernie and all the best with the visit to the dentist tomorrow!Tranquility Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973619033004372917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-45800539489333573662009-08-11T08:40:50.704-06:002009-08-11T08:40:50.704-06:00Thanks Margie, its so hard at this time in our soc...Thanks Margie, its so hard at this time in our society not to offend anyone when it should be so easy to just be ourselves.

At time both were tied, Harrington got flustered and took a double bogey on that hole. Tiger said they had messed up what was a great match at the time....and he was right, they did as they were the last twosome with no one behind them. They were not holding anyone up. Sometimes things in life just aren't fair.....HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-75103112747669005282009-08-10T22:22:33.918-06:002009-08-10T22:22:33.918-06:00I understand the awards decision too and I hope sh...I understand the awards decision too and I hope she still comes by your blog even if she is not a follower. <br /><br />I don't do the awards at all. I just like to blog and awards do not matter that much to me. I agree with Jinksy. I the only award I want is someone reading my blog.<br /><br />Oh, Tiger got fined cause of somtehing he said.

From now I'll thank the giver, do the post, and then say 'whoever wants it, come and get it'. I think it was Wanda or Cathy who had done that once and I thought it was a good idea.<br />I wouldn't want to hurt anybody's feelings either, especially when you see the sentiments that are sometimes attached to the award. But it does get to be a bit much.<br /><br />I'm sorry your new blogger friend was so sensitive about the whole thing.<br />Oh, that sounded so judgmental! Everybody is different, he/she has a right to their feelings too, but I wouldn't take it to heart, Bernie. You can't please everyone.<br /><br />I'm actually going through something with my blog and it's making me feel like giving up the whole thing. It's more something going on with extended family having complaints. Sort of takes the fun out of everything. Oh well.<br /><br />Talk to you soon.<br />Love,<br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-81521083786260662602009-08-10T14:25:52.022-06:002009-08-10T14:25:52.022-06:00Hi Marcy, am looking forward to your post tomorrow...Hi Marcy, am looking forward to your post tomorrow....only you could find a way to deal with this never ending problem and that's why I love you.....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-57609221191459562952009-08-10T14:05:13.285-06:002009-08-10T14:05:13.285-06:00Hi QMM, thank you for understanding.
