		<description>Hey Tazar,

30 lashes! Funnily enough, I really do have a whip like Miss Kitties.

With regards to the Creepy Ones, if they were FUNNY retorts, then hey, I'd pay them. But not so lucky...

Hey Kim,

I finally took the bandaid off to see the finger - might lose my nail. At least it's sort of closed over now.

Poor cocky had Beak &#038; Feather disease, so had to go to Cockie Heaven.</description>

		<description>I'm sorry, I confess. I couldn't help but leave a nasty comment on Davids latest post. I don't generally join in the mayhem, but they were being so petty I just couldn't resist.............. Now will I be spammed by budget crap and bad pomes???? I'm scared, protect me Madam Lash! (I hide behind Oscar the Wonder Dog).</description>

		<description>Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your lovely comments.

Well, yes, I supposed I was naive in thinking that fellow bigblog members would provide a supportive environment for everyone. They can do what they like on their own blogs, but cannot dictate what I have to put up with on my own.

I sorta feel sorry for them both. They are lonly old men with  a keyboard and monitor as company. I picture them as the 2 old fellas from The Muppet Show - The 2 critics sitting up in the gallery seats of the theatre.

Cheers,

Miss Kitty!</description>

		<description>Hi Cindy I had a massive clean out last week and took it straight to St. Vinnies so I couldn't change my mind about anything LOL then went on a shopping spree , which I haven't done for 12 months, so I didn't feel a bit guilty about spending on just me. As for Lonz and David's carry on, their blogs aren't worth reading, just stupid egotistical men who think their better than everyone else and have nothing better to do with their time than sit hiding behind a  computer and try to bully anyone who speaks against them.... I suppose I can expect a visit if they read this....Well bring it on boys</description>

		<description>Oh, one other thing I meant to mention.
Anyone who boasts about the popularity of their blog... is seriously suspect as an egomaniac. There are so many reasons why people visit blogs but the most common one is usually to disagree with what is said. Plus of course it is very easy to "up" the popularity of your own blog in various ways if you so chose.
Of course, these ratings will probably never change now as they haven't been working for yonks and I've got my doubts as to whether bigpong will ever fix that.
The other laughable thing I found was the bragging about "having been here from the start". What a wank!  As if that is a ticket to legitimacy. Someone with something worthwhile to say is more relevant after a day than someone who hangs around for years spouting bullshit. Reminds me of those old people who say... "I've been doing this for 30 years....." never realising the possibility that they might have been doing it WRONG for 30 years!

Well, there you go - I've had my little say. It will be interesting to see whether either of the dodgy brothers come here to read this. Imagine if either of these intellectual giants condescended to visit MY little old blog!  Could I ever be so fortunate?</description>

		<description>Cindy, I have read the interaction on your other blog.
I think Lonz has been to my blog maybe once or twice early on... from memory, to post some cryptic/rambling comment in response to one of my anti-religion posts. And I have seen him around the place "commenting" on other peoples sites as well. It is fairly obvious to me that he has a large wheelbarrow of issues that he pushes around and periodically tries to dump them onto others... and usually in an incoherent way. His partner in irrelevance, David (or as Templar calls him - the bloggers bard) seems to suffer from an even more overblown sense of self importance. Have you read any of his "poetry"? Fascinating stuff. "Bzzz Brzzz bzz" is one recent example. The problem with this guy is that he is so out of it that some people think he is brilliant and constantly tell him so - more fuel for the overinflated ego I'm afraid.
For the record - I read your "art lesson" post and not for one instant did I think the intent was to lecture or give a lesson to anyone. It was extraordinarily obvious that you were writing about "your lesson" and "your learning" and sharing that. Quite amazing that someone would think you were trying to lecture... but then again that, to me, smacks of someone who considers themselves to be a "font of all knowledge" and sadly, people like that always seem to think any thought or suggestion is meant as a command - simply because that is how THEY operate.</description>

		<description>Hi Cindy, nasty world out there. liquified bee insides, yum yum. 

I see you had a visit from the incredibly well-known (?) Lonz over at bigblog :) Lucky you. Some Saturday nights he and David  carry on an increasingly disjointed conversation that goes on into the early hours. I don't know, maybe they get pissed or something. You featured in their comments towards the end of David's last post. I have joined in their "conversation" once or twice but then pissed Lonz off when I joked he loved David (I now think he just doesn't like women). Lonz then went to my blog and repeated all these links to his, to a post where he'd put up photos of his dead kitten, complete with blood. Very meaningful communication. Difficult to believe that his could be the "highest ranked blog", I'd never visit there again. David has also left an odd comment late one night on one of my posts (asking me why I'd posted "that crap"). I just ignore them now and the compliment is returned.</description>

		<description>Creepy crawlies ugh! Great shots. You could have drawn the robber fly for your Fierce theme.
Bill was chuffed that you commented on his new blog. I was chuffed that he had to ask ME how to set it up. By the way "The police chase" part of the video was me driving through the Bega area. He tells everyone that's what its like when I drive!!!</description>

		<description>Kim, I hear ya!

We bought a stack of Levi's on one trip to LA ages ago, you know the ones, high waisted, stretch stone wash all for $20. Genuine Levis, allegedly. Stocked up on Raybans, Nike runners, all the good stuff. 

The next trip was when the dollar was worth .47cents. Shopping wasn't much fun for that trip, but OMG their Buck Shops (like $2 shops here) were AWESOME.

I want an all expenses paid trip to NYC - Cosmoes all round sweetie!</description>
