Seriously….

So, in case you have not noticed, and I am sure that you have…I do memes on a daily basis. Meme’s give you something to write about and a reason to visit other blogs and make nice-nice.

There is a certain meme on a certain day of the week (not this one) that I do. The meme gets a lot of hits. I attempt to comment everyone who signs-up before 1pm. However, the return comments in numbers in no way reflect my number of blog visits.

Yes, there are some slackers that, for whatever reason, either do not reciprocate or do not comment or just don’t like me (think it’s the dogs?). I can understand that many of us have other things to do, have a life, or whatever, but, on a weekly basis? (How about, don’t sign up if you aren’t gonna participate?)

OKAY…so my question(s)  for you is a) Does this happen to you too? and

b) Do you know of any good memes that I should try?

The Dating Profiles Meme: Going With the Flow

1. I am an easy going person who just goes with the flow. I would like someone who can also go with flow. Shouldn’t we all just go with the flow?
Not into decision-making? Says a lot about your relationship with mom.

2. It would be nice to go home with someone and talk about the day over a glass of pepsi.
PEPSI?! YUCK!

3. I enjoy long walks on the beach.
They all do…every Friday…right Bud?

4. Most important to me are family, friends, and our environment.
“OUR” Environment is starting to stink …

5. Make me smile – I’ll return the favor.
No thanks.


6. No, i’ve never been married. No, i don’t have any children. Why? It’s simple. I haven’t met the ONE yet and i won’t settle for less than i deserve.

Could be why you’re 40 and single. Just sayin’

7. I also love giving and receiving massages after a stressful day at work.
You must waste a lot of money on the other side of town.

8. I’ve done some hiking in the past and wouldn’t mind doing it again.
Great idea- take a hike (wonder how many of us will use this answer this week)

9. I’m turned off by smokers and foul language.
Think I have some new habits….

10. Relationships are a two way street. Anything can be fun and adventurous, as long as I’m in charge.
Totally blows your question number 1 Einstein

I try to return visits all the time, even if I have to wait 3, 4 , days to get back to visitors and commentors.

And if I link up to a meme, I must visit other people on the list or it’s not fair.

I know I’m guilty of not being able to visit every participant every week but I do try to visit as many as possible. For example, I’m almost through this week’s Aloha Friday list! Yay!

It’s hard to get through them all! I try to visit back as many as I can, and some of these memes get crazy busy. I may miss some first time commenters, but I always get to my repeat readers! Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Yeah, I guess they just forgot my name at press time over at Forbes. Happens all the time.

As to memes, one of my favorites is “Sunday in My City” over at unknownmami.com. I don’t participate every week but I always enjoy it when I do. When I do join in, I aways reciprocate a visit from someone who comes over but I can’t always visit everyone on the list especially with really big ones. So I try to pick new ones each time so I can meet more new bloggers. I’m certainly not perfect but I try to be good.
