I guess every blogger is fighting to get those GOLDILOCKS readers. And I sure don’t want to get any stalkers or anything – really scary if you think about it.

All of my PREVIOUS POSTERS have been very kind, but I did end up enabling “COMMENT MODERATION” because of one very fiery, maybe unbalanced and unpredictable person. I did some research on him and then had a series of arguments because of his really inappropriate citing of a “sex life” with a well-known TV personality whom I dated briefly decades ago. But I was wrong. I should have just let it roll off my back (my monitor?). I do still visit his site because there are some neat people there.

Thanks for your comments.

A close relation is the Previous Poster. They’ve written a similar post and just dropped by to “give your readers another point of view.”

BUT… the hotlink to your site in your original post is NOT WORKING. I could only get to it in a more roundabout way. Nice site! Too bad I’m retired!

Warm regards, Ellen

Given the fact that I am talking about subjects that interest me — and I only started doing this in August 2008, it really turns into a fun activity to which I could become easily addicted.

I actually thought I’d be pretty much alone on a blog, after having been buffeted around by an active political forum for four years which boasted over a hundred-thousand “members.”

I started slowly, but then on one blog written by a Pacific Northwest surgeon/author whom I had interviewed on my radio show, I got into a kind of shouting match with one person and probably got too incensed at his ability to pique me. That may have briefly built a “scratchy persona” for me on a few sites, but that’s the breaks of the game.

Hey, everybody loves a good shouting match, especially when it involves a prominent personality like CNN’s enduring Larry King, whom I dated briefly in the late 1950s when we were both young broadcasters in Miami. No, I didn’t marry him, but Larry was inadvertently responsible for launching me into a career as the one of the first women to do the radio talk format in 1971 in Miami and later, in Boston.

I don’t have anything to sell or prove, since I am almost 70 years old, a woman with more than 50 years in the working world, a mother of two grown children and stepmother to three, as well as grandmother to at least five delightful youngsters from ages 8 to 20 (The big boy’s birthday is February 6 and he’s starting college. Aside to Michael: the check is in the mail and good luck at MCLA!) I consider blogging something of a personal diary that anyone can peek into — if they are curious. Are you?
