I. Am. So. Embarrassed.
I never post comments on blogs because I'm afraid someone will think I'm a weird nutty stalker or something ("I'm being stalked by this spinster with four cats and a drinking problem!") (Note to Dad: I don't really have a drinking problem. That was a joke.) but then I was talking to a friend who said that all blog-readers should comment so blog-writers know they get readers. (Of course I get no comments ... except for Jennifer and Crystal who love me and my no-comment self.)
Anyway.
So I have a few blogs I read faithfully, mostly knitting stuff. And I decided to take this big plunge and COMMENT, but just on the three blogs I love the most. So I broke through my comment-a-phobia and did it. Except that on one of them, I was trying to leave a comment and blogger was being all STUPID and it kept saying "proxy error, try again" and I kept hitting the back button, and none of my comments worked. Until the one time it *did* work, and, um, this really nice person (who I never wrote comments to before) (because I didn't want her thinking I was a stalker) got SIX of the same comment from me. I. Am. So. Embarrassed.

Comments
Wow. No, really. Wow. I'm not going to try to repeat your feat of the 6 comments, but just wanted you to know that I really do appreciate all of them.
And you're pretty funny too.

See what happens when you take a break from knitting to comment? But for real, I do stupid stuff like that all of the time!

My daughter was jsut reading "The Monster at the End of This Book" and your title reminded me of that! (Grover says it at the end.)
BTW, I'm adding you to the ring :)

LOL! You're too funny. Don't you hate it when servers act up? Anyway I'm new to knitting and was surfing through some knitting blogs and came across yours. Thanks for the laugh!

just found your blog (welcome to the ring!) and i think it is great! so funny! im glad you tell it like it is! good luck with future comments! i bet in the back of your mind you were considering leaving another comment that explains all the other comments and then got worried that one might churn out 6 more??!

I think most of us have had a "comment faux pas" like that at some time or another. Technology is out to get us -- I'm sure of it! Welcome to the knitblog ring!

I saw your blog as a new member of the knitting blogs ring, and once I started reading I had to go all the way back. Your blog is hilarious (not so much the parts about the death knell of your marriage). I'm a new knitter, too, just over the hill from you in Simi Valley. Don't worry, I'm a non-stalking commenter.

Just happened across your blog on the new knitting blogs post of boogaj, and welcome to the ring! I'm enjoying what I've been reading, you have a funny twist to your writing style that I like. Keep up the good work.

On the recommendation of several of the blogs I read, I am adding you to my happy little "must read" list. You rock - as do your cats.

I did the same thing once....was so embarrassed.... haven't commented to anyone since.... so you can be my "back in the world of commenting" guinea pig.... I'm about to press post and am feeling some anxiety... here i go...

If someone sends like ten comments I usually either delete nine of them or ask them if they want me to (well duh) or just leave it there 'cause I'm often drunk and just figure I'm seeing double, (or tenble, whatever the fuck the term is for that).
I don't know what the rule is, but then again I don't know the rules for most things ...

Hard to believe you had a time when hardly anyone commented, isn't it? I'm just reading your old posts to get caught up (just found you through the knitting blogs ring when I joined about a month ago). As you can tell, I have absolutely no comment phobia!
Thanks for continuing to share.
