This blog keeps getting traffic from glitches.ning.com. I’d provide a link but it wouldn’t do you any good since one is greeted by a log-in screen and politely told to bugger off unless they have an invitation. It’s like being the last kid chosen for kickball which is a memory I could have happily gone the rest of my life without recalling.
Admittedly, it isn’t much traffic. I could count the visitors to this blog on one hand and I know who most of them are. I do not know who Glitches is and that drives me crazy.
Is it a group of serious writers pointing and laughing at me? If so, how was I singled out for ridicule? There are lots of bad blogs in cyberspace. I’m sure I deserve ridicule and all but how did they even find me so fast?
Is it a branch of Homeland Security waiting for me say the wrong thing so they can disappear me? If so, please note the absence of “Politics” over there on the category list. I make my political rants elsewhere. Try to figure out which tin-foil-hat-wearing person at Democratic Underground is me.
Is it a group of nice religious people that have formed a prayer group and are trying to save my soul? I guess it’s the thought that counts. Thanks for caring and have a nice day.

I, for one, will pray for your enlightenment.

Maybe you should just consider it a gift from the blog traffic gods.
I seriously doubt if anyone is laughing at you.

From Wikipedia: Glitches is a group of hermaphroditic anarchists bent on cyberspace domination thru the proper use of the semicolon.

Sissy, that’s so mean…A-M, I’m SURE they’re laughing at you! Wait, you didn’t mean it like that, did you…I need coffee…
What are these blog traffic gods, and what’s a little cat got to do to get good stuff from them…? And don’t say put up nekkid pictures of Orlando Bloom, he’s a baby…

But, Wanda, I want to make people laugh although it depends on what they are laughing at. Are they laughing at all the sentences that end with prepositions or are they laughing at the stories which contain those sentences?
Maybe I better move my famous babysitting rant over from that other place.

I can get you some traffic, little cat. My cat site had 3262 visitors yesterday. There is no reason that a cat site can’t link to a cat’s blog.
Then again that would involve editing a static HTML page and uploading it to a cranky server. I may not get around to it right away.

I’m sure they’re laughing with you Andrea. That’s cool, right?

3262 visitors?! I stand in awe! If I got that many hits, I wouldn’t care if they were laughing with me or at me, I don’t think.

All is cool, my good friend. You are welcomed, loved and enjoyed. Just go with that, okay?

3262 visitors?! I stand in awe!
Alas, I do not speak of here. I speak of there.
There being my other site. The traffic is due to a kind Google God and has nothing to do with me or anything I have done.
I do not believe this little blog will ever have 3000 visitors in a day.

3262? Holy crap, woman! I don’t think I’ve had that many people look at anything I’ve done on the internet including customer service at shopping sites, all of that famous social site we met on, and everywhere else I’ve ever visited. Sounds like you’ll get famous and can bring some of your friends with you, hint, hint…

I guess it’s a case of “If you build it, they will come.”

Once Orlando finds my blog and realizes how much he loves me I’ll have that many hits. You guys wait and see.

Or you and he and Mr. Rizzuto will set up housekeeping and you’ll never be online again except to brag.

I think they are stalkers.

I DO stalk, how did you know??
Oh, you meant the other kind…

I just saw your header! It reminded me of a doormat my daughter bought years ago. It said: All our visitors make us happy; some by coming; some by going!
It was meant at her father. I don’t think he ever noticed, although shortly after we got that, he stopped coming to the door when he picked them up. He’d just drive up and honk and they’d go out.
BTW, I wouldn’t worry about any glitches.ning.com. If they wanted to hurt you, they would have done it by now. I think they come in peace.

Statcounter… it’s a wonderful thing.
That’s all I’m going to say. I do think they are a friendly bunch, since they’re over on my page too, and so far I’ve not been left anonymous threats cut and pasted from old magazines.

At least these Glitchers are people who can read. That’s good, right?
