Not in so many words
I really have so much to say and, yet, not yet time enough to say it. Or, in some cases, it is not yet time to say it. Make sense? Good.But I was tagged not too long ago by Jacinta on her blog, One Little Acorn. In my mind, Jacinta is lovely and charming and very exotic. She lives in
1. Why did you start your blog?
I felt like I had a lot of words and ideas running around in my head and thought it would be a good idea to get them out. You know, to settle me a little. Obviously it totally worked.
2. How did you come up with your blog name?
I like to run. A lot. I have a pretty firm grasp on that. Less so on JustLive and JustBe, but I can’t seem to stop trying to get there.
3. Do your friends and family know about your blog? What do they think about it?
Yes, mostly. Over the last three years more and more. They don’t think much of it, except maybe that I’m weird which is nothing different than than the twenty-five years before I started this site.
4. How do you write posts?
Usually in one shot, usually not more than a day ahead of time, and usually I revise and rearrange way too much, which is, arguably, not obvious anyway.
5. Have you ever had a troll or had to delete unkind comments?
Yes, but usually they take it upon themselves to email me privately. Because these people obviously have super-strong backbones and tons of integrity.
6. Do you check your stats? Do you care how many people read your blog? If you do care, how to you increase traffic?
I never even put a Site Meter on my old Blogspot site. This site’s host now lets me see all kinds of statistics and summaries and reports and sometimes I even remember to look at them. Hello to all of you not commenting! Love and hugs!
7. What kind of blogs/posts interest you?
All kinds. Especially those involving embarassing stories that make me feel like less of a nerd. Yes, how selfish of me.
8. What do you like and dislike about blogging?
So far, so good. Except having to moderate spam comments. That bites.
I can never seem to tag anyone with a meme. Instead I tag you all to go to the beach, or to sing at the top of your lungs in the shower. Or maybe, if possible, both.

The embarassing stories are so much fun to read!!

Ah man…I’d be right on it to go to the beach if there was any beach option available to me. Tell you what, you buy me the ticket and I will so be there!!

Today is a perfect beach day! I am right there with you on number one!

Lovely, charming and exotic? Really? I’m blushing! Thanks for taking part in the meme. I loved your answers.
Your blog name is what caught my eye originally. Just run (anyone who has a passion for running like you is totally awesome) and JustLive and JustBe… because like you, it’s an ongoing challenge for me. The more I read your blog, the more I realise it isn’t just our birthday’s we have in common.
Singing on the beach at the top of your lungs… now there’s an idea!
Have a great day.

I used to obsessively check my stats. Now I don’t care. Maybe because I no longer need to see who is stalking me…I don’t care anymore! YAY!
I love those embarrassing story posts too.

Been to the beach and sang in the shower all in the same day. That was fun.

I actually love checking my stats mostly to see what keyword searches brought people to my blog. That always cracks me up.
It’ll have to be shower singing for me,as they are calling for snow tomorrow.

My friends knew about my old blog, but now that I’ve changed it, nobody knows and I prefer it that way. The more loser-like I can be!

Always love learning more about my blog buddies.
BTW I totally owe you an email - its coming. I promise.

Good news! I’m about to hop into the shower - so I’ll clearly be belting one out for you!

I only sing all the time.
