Great blog you’ve got going here–spent some time reading through it, and can definitely say it was a pleasant read. Take care.
Found your blog thanks to DC… It’s cool… +1 for you follower count… 🙂
-BS
Thanks, man! I can’t wait to check you your blog as well. (Busy at this very moment, but wanted to respond timely.)
Cheers!
Yeah… You’re Welcome and Thank You… Looking forward to get your feedback…
Cheers Man!
Dude, hope all is well with you … just wanted to give you heads up on a post I mentioned you in – http://doncharisma.org/2014/04/19/collaborative-seo-powerblogging-on-steriods/
You’re a good looking fella, like the photo 🙂
Cheers
Don Charisma
Duuuuude, things are going well. Thank you for the very, very kind words, and I hope to never disappoint. I think we can get a good challenge going again.
Thanks, man! I don’t see it, but I appreciate the compliment 🙂
Cheers!
Chris
Awesome, pleased for you 🙂 … you are welcome dude, and I’ve not seen anything from you that would indicate that I’d be disappointed …
You’ll have to take it from me then, and you are welcome 🙂
Cheers
Don
Thanks so much for the follow! Awesome freaking blog!
Thanks for following back! I can say the same thing about yours (to say the least).
Why thank you! -:)
An absolute pleasure geeking out with you today over Dan, Carl, Neko et al, darling. Don’t be a stranger.
I’ve come out of my weekend hibernation. Sorry for not replying on Friday after this comment was posted. It was a roller-coaster of a weekend (all positive) with excitement and activities that appropriately kept me away from this digital world.
It was a pleasure geeking out with you as well. I’m a bit delighted to actually converse with the great Helena.
HA! I love the word “converse”. Reminds me of the Wizard of Oz EVERY TIME. “I’m off to confer, converse, and otherwise hob nob with my fellow wizards.”
I’m glad you had a good weekend. I had a productive, if sleepless one, and then last night I was on the phone ’til the wee hours with my friend, trying to brainstorm how to best take care of him and his family (see my post today about the Swamp).
Will do. I’ll be plugging you in mine. So, don’t let the WordPress notification startle you with it’s bold orange pop.
So what you’re saying is that you’ve written pornographic fantasies about me, darling? (I’ll be plugging you in mine).
Not sure how I feel about that. (Oh how I wish I could see the shade you just turned.)
HA!
Plugging, poronographic, fantasies… Can’t say that’s my type of literature to write. Sorry to disappoint. Haha.
Well, you probably didn’t turn orange.
Well, that’s a relief. I’ve had a couple of creepy customers at Casa de Hann-Basquiat. I usually just smile and cringe.
Here’s to weird stalker-types, and another reason I will no longer do online dating websites. Cheers!
Happy day after Valentine’s – I’ve nominated you for a blog award – http://anupturnedsoul.wordpress.com/2014/02/15/awesome-blog-content-award-nominations-strike-the-bell/
Happy day after Valentine’s Day! Thank you so much for the nomination!
Guitar, jazz, m&m’s are my favorites, too. Well done on your post today for Mr. Charisma, Chris. I look forward to following your blog.
Audrey
Thank you! I have been so busy today. I know Don posted a lot, and I need to catch up! Thanks again for enjoying and following!
My pleasure, Christopher.
Hi Christopher: Thanks for the re-blog! It’s great to be passed along (for reading). I like your profile and description. Your thoughts on IPA? Colorado makes a mighty fine selection.
Paige
Hey! Thank you for the follow. I enjoy your blog, so it’s the least I can do.
IPA to me stands for two things: (1) India Pale Ale, and (2) I Prefer Always. I bet Colorado does, and I need to get out there to enjoy some of it. New York’s hop farming is stepping up its game, and I’m impressed.
It’s always a pleasure to meet another IPA fan.
Here’s my nomination to The Innovative Blogger Award, just out tonight from Mr. Don Charisma, to one of the hardest thinking guys in blog business.
