I know you’re there. I feel your eyes on me. You’re reading my every thought. Because you’re reading this, you know very well that I’m talking about you. Hey lurker, what are you thinking? Who are you? Won’t you say hello?
( What’s a Lurker?
A lurker is a person who reads a blog, but doesn’t comment.)
According to my stat counter I had 344 first time visitors to my blog today and 20 returning. (You were among that 364 weren’t you?)
I know that 364 people did not comment on my blog today, so I’m once again declaring today “Delurk Yourself Day.” Leave me a comment. Come out from the shadows and say “hello.” Is there anything you want to say to me? Now is your chance.
Tell me a bit about yourself. I’d really like get to know you. Is there anything you would like me to talk about here on my blog? How did you find my blog? (You know that I do appreciate you even if you don’t comment. Thank you for reading my blog.)
So, what’s on your mind?
If you liked this post, why not buy me a coffee?

Okay now. I spent 5 minutes looking at your empty comment box unable to come up with anything. Then I came up with something and submitted it and it appears to have disappeared. Just call this an incase you didn’t get my first comment comment. The first one was way better. I swear.

I don’t lurk. I am lurkless. I am the anti-lurk. Actually, I am almost on my 100th comment on this site, which is impressive for me! It is lurktastic really!

okayy maybe I missed a post, but darn I try to leave a comment on each post I read, seems rude not to—-color me “Delighted” to not be a “lurker”—better yet, to be “de-lurked” is to be Divine——(sorry got carried a way —will go take my meds now)

Hello Trish, how are you? Great to have you back!
Gary I’m glad that you are not a lurker. Can I call you blogging addicted?

Okay, I admit that sometimes I don’t post a comment because I can’t think of anything to say, but I swear, I don’t lurk.

Sorry for lurking. I do visit quite a bit, but don’t comment as often as one should.

I haven’t been lurking, I’ve been sleepy.

I don’t mind the people lurking on my blog as much as the ones behind my house.

I’m not a lurker but I don’t comment every day. Some days I read your posts via my Google Reader and don’t stop by to comment. Becaus eI have my lazy days .

I try not to lurk too often. Like Tammy said, I read the entries but I can’t always think of something to say. Lately I’ve had just enough time to catch up on posts before I have to take care of the girls. All three of them have the chicken pox, and my asthmatic daughter (the one allergic to dryer sheets
) is having some major issues with allergies this summer. Needless to say it’s been a busy summer!
Sorry for lurking Rose!

Not really a lurker, just stumbled on your blog tonight via your Kamasutra Cookie Cutter post, thought I’d give you a shout-out. Anyway, nice blog, keep up the good work. I’ll be back.

Hey Rose.. Came across your page ’cause of Sy’s latest entry on his blog. He’s linked you. I lurk on his page everyday. And oh my God, he’s a dad ! I genuinely felt happy. I was waiting for the good news. And finally we see it. Even told my sister and showed her the pictures. God bless ‘em all. And now I am hooked on to your page ! I love it. Love reading blogs on my cellphone late at night when I want to relax and no good book around to read.. *waves.. I should get going now. Making exam papers !
Bye for now..

Hah. This made me laugh. Mind if I link here from… various places? Maybe I could start a bandwagon… ^-^ With your permission, of course! Email me!

Ok, so i’m normally a lurker, although I do comment from time to time. I go through so many sites a day, it would be impossible to have a little chirp about everything I see.
Anyhow, hello. I’m almost through with the longest day of the longest week ever. So thanks for helping to make my day a little let boring. On a side note, the weather in Durban is fantastic and I’m inside. How bleak. LOL
Have a fantastic day!
