It’s Love Our Lurkers Day!
Bonnie from my My Bottom Smarts has announced the second annual Love Our Lurkers Day for Friday, October 12! Yay! She’s got a good number of bloggers joining in (which she’s listing as blogs join in). If you can, go check out what’s happening across the spanko blogosphere.
The point of LOL Day is to draw out the large number of readers who come by to read but don’t comment. I understand completely because I know how it is. You see, I’m a lurker, too. But I’ve found that no matter who it is, anytime I come out of the woodwork to comment, I’m always greeted with open arms. It’s always a pleasant surprise.
Today I’m going to do my best to go out and say “Hi” to the bloggers I’ve been taking for granted and maybe greeting some of the ones I haven’t met before. It should be fun. You should join in! It’s going to be like a big open house out there in spanko blogland.
I know I haven’t been the most reliable blogger in the world lately, but I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. I know there’s people out there still reading though and I want to thank all of you for that! So even if you’re not a lurker, you can say hi anyway. It’ll be like old pals meeting up again.
I considered making this into a competition since y’all know how much I love that sort of thing. I thought one swat per comment ought to be fun. But then I wasn’t sure that was such a good idea since we have that new paddle and all. Besides, it wouldn’t be fair. I wouldn’t know if you commented because you like me or if you just wanted me to get spanked a lot. *wink*
Also I remember the last time I tried that. That was a bit surprising. I had no idea how much I was loved by my readers. That much love can make a girl’s bottom sore!
Hmmmm…now I can’t remember, was I trying to talk myself out of or into that swat per comment deal? Let me think…
I’ll sort it out eventually. In the meantime, everybody go out there and show some comment love around the blogs! I’ll be out there somewhere doing the same.
Hello Bethie
You would never know it but yours was one of the first blogs I read over a year and a half ago yet I have never commented and still often come back to see what you are up to. I have always enjoyed the way you write about your spanko life with Spank Boss and you promote everything you do in such a joyful way, it is delightful.
My husband and I are new to erotic spanking and having experienced people to draw from has helped us to feel less weird than we otherwise would.
Now I have opened my beak I shall have to comment on a couple of your recent posts that I enjoyed.
Thanks and Hugs
Dove
Eek. I’m glad I didn’t think of the 1 comment = 1 swat thing. That sounds like it would definitely get me in to some trouble!! Regardless, I’ll add to whatever trouble you are getting into. (grin)
Hi. 🙂
Hi Bethie,
We have been a avid spanko readers/followers of
your’s for some time now.

give to us for spanking implements and sensation
play.
You and other spanko bloggers are never taken
for granted.
Thank you for sharing with us,
Sir and Cindy
Hi bethie,
I have commented before on your blog but not in a while. I am mostly a lurker who really enjoys reading your blog. I will try to step out of the shadows more and say hello. 🙂
Thank you for all you share on your blog and I hope you will continue writing for a long time!
BIG HUGS

Hi Bethie!
I lurk around quite a bit myself. If I tried to comment on all the blogs, I’d spend way too many hours on the computer!
Love your site and I do come by from time to time!
HUGS!

I love your site – and read it nearly daily…unfortunately He has banned me from commenting until my site is caught up and since the ban has been in place for ages…well you see the dilemma? He has given me a special dispensation for today…with a payment of course but, I am willing to take one for the team 🙂

Bethie,
You and Dan remain an inspiration for us all. Any time you want to talk, I’ll be here to listen.
As for that whole one swat per comment idea, you KNOW how that story ends!
Thanks for participating in LOL day.
Hugs,
Bonnie

Just popped by to de-lurk and say hi, keep up the good work.

Hi my name is luna, and I’m a lurker.
(Hi luna)
I’m actually doing the one swat per… on my LOL post. Scary thing is that it goes through the 20th! Oh well, it’s all in pure painful fun! I love reading your posts and have been following you for quite some time 🙂
I read here so i guess that makes a lurker!
Dove, hello and thank you so much for the lovely words as well as for stepping out to saying “hi!” I’d like to hear more about you and your husband so I’ll have to go by your place and say “hi” too. 🙂
Ofia, thank you coming by! I don’t know how I come up with so much trouble for myself…oh wait, yeah I do. It’s the greedy bottom thing again. 😆
Cindy, hello to you both! I’m always glad to share. Dan comes up with the most evil ideas after all (and I’m just here being all innocent). 😉
Hi, Padme! Thank you for coming by! I should comment more on your blog since I’m there almost every day. Have a great birthday weekend! 🙂
Grace, hello and I understand as I have the same problem. Sometimes there’s just not enough hours in the day! 😉
Caitlin, hello and thank you so much for commenting! And for taking one for the team! You go, girl! 😉
Bonnie, thank you for putting this together for us. Everyone is having a great time! 🙂
Prefectdt, hello and thank you for delurking! 🙂
Luna, hello, it’s nice to meet you! Alright, someone else is doing the one swat per comment thing! Yay! I’ll have to go right over and comment. Through the 20th??? Well, all I can say is, welcome to the Greedy Bottoms Club! 😆
Val, you’re a lurker no more! Hello and thank you for stepping out to delurk! 🙂
I should de-lurk 6 or 7 times. 😀
Hey! That’s no fair, Kaya! Dan’s itching to use that paddle every chance he gets. My bottom may be in peril. 😆
While I participate in Spanking Den, I’ve never said anything here. But I do pop by here fairly regularly, and really enjoy your blog.
Blushingbride, hello and thank you for commenting! It’s nice to know you come by here, too. 🙂
Hi, sweetie!
Hugs,
Tracy
Hi, hon! I’m glad you came by. 🙂
Hugs!
Bethie
We do check your blog out often, but we don’t know if we’ve commented before. Really hope you do get back into the swing of things, blogging-wise. That would be great!
🙂
Todd & Suzy, thank you for coming by and commenting! I’m trying to get back into the blogging groove now that summer is really over. I just can’t resist the call of the wild! 😉
Hi Bethie, I have been a lurker so thought I would ‘come out’. I have read here for a long time and do enjoy it! Stop by and check my blog out sometime! Thanks, Sara
Sara, thank you for delurking! I appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoy the blog. I’ll drop in for a visit to yours soon. 🙂
Hi Bethie,
Enjoy your site and the SpankingBlog site as well. The pics you post are always sooo cute. 🙂 I love hearing about your implements and of course the spankings that go with them.
Alliegirl, thank you so much, for saying “hi” and delurking! I’m glad you’re enjoying the blogs, it’s great being able to share all of that with good people like you. 🙂
Hey Bethie
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the comment on LOL day. Even though the day is officially over, I’m officially delurking! 🙂 I’ve loved reading here for probably over a year now. Keep it up!
~Hugs!
Maggie, you’re quite welcome for the LOL day comment and I appreciate you delurking here. Thank you! 🙂
Hugs!
Bethie
