One of who you ask? Why, LURKERS, of course.
Lurkers are those of you who visit our blogs - you slip in and slip out without notice. We know you're there - we see numbers that don't mesh with comments. So now that you know the definition, are you one of them? If so, are you willing to come out from your hiding place and show your face.
You can remain anonymous but I'd really like to say hello, today and every once in a while. I promise I'm harmless and don't bite. Once upon a time I was one of you. One day, I thawed out my cold feet and jumped in. Since then I've made some great friends here in cyberland and I've even met some of them in real life. We're not scary - we're folks just like you. Won't you come join us?
Hope you leave a comment during this event and stop by every now and then thereafter.
If you're new to LOL Day, and this is your first visit and comment, leave me your name and an email address, and you'll be entered into a drawing to receive a copy of my latest book release, Home for Christmas. If you've already read that, how about a copy of any of my others or the one that is due out before Christmas.
Hermoine is our hostest with the mostest today and tomorrow and if you click on her name the link will take you to her blog to see the list of all the participants. Who knows, next year you may decide to add your name to that list.
See you later for more Aimless Ramblings.
Not really a lurker but hello.

Always happy to welcome a new visitor - Hope you come by again, we probably have many mutual friends and if we don't, we will.
DeleteHappy LOL Days, Sunny! :) Not a lurker one bit here, as you know. I always enjoy coming by for a visit. Your stories are always a big treat to read too! Thank you for writing and blogging! Have fun! Many hugs,
ReplyDelete<3 Katie
Happy LOL days to you too Katie. Glad you dropped by for a visit.
DeleteSunny,
ReplyDeleteI always feel so entertained right here. Thank you for just being you. I appreciate your words of wisdom laced into those stories.
Meredith
Yes, I'm nothing if not entertaining - lol. I didn't realize I had words of wisdom tucked into my weekly stories, but glad to hear they have some redeeming value.
DeleteAs you said, thank you for being you.
I always stop by. Sorry I don't comment enough.
ReplyDeleteI'm more guilty than you then, but I don't always drop by and I'm not sure I've commenting either. I'll do better in 2017.
DeleteHey ya lady! Never lurk, always read! Hope if I've missed it's normally for some life reason!
ReplyDeleteHappy LOL day!! Many more for us all!
Yes you do always stop by even when you have life reasons. Happy LOL Day to you.
DeleteHi again Leigh, just popping in to say Happy LOL day
ReplyDeleteHappy LOL Day to you too Don. Glad you stopped by.
DeleteHappy LOL Day, Sunny Girl,
ReplyDeleteAlthough I visit here quite often, I could never say how much I enjoy it. Just started rereading Home for Christmas and will start plans for a review this week.
Hugs From Ella
Glad that you do stop by - I'd miss it if you didn't. GLad you're enjoying the story.
DeleteI love the image you found! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy LOL Day(s)!
I know - reminds me of when I was little and would play hide and seek. Happy LOL Day. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSometimes a lurker here. ;) Happy LOL Day!!! :)
ReplyDeletethese3fhl.blogspot.com
Happy LOL Day and always glad to have you stop by.
DeleteLeigh. Guilty as charged. I have periodically seen your blogs and may have commented a time or two, but nothing that would help you to get to know me. I have recently updated my blog roll, and discovered I was missing many new folks and needed to get rid of ones that are no longer present. So I cleaned house and am back on track. I am committed to being better in 2017 about touching in as I continue to find my way on this TTWD journey.
ReplyDeleteMy blog roll crashed back a while ago and I too keep finding ones I wasn't able to remember. My TTWD journey has come to a complete halt (not my idea) but I've made too many friends to quit. I still supply a story every Monday though.
DeleteGlad you're back. Happy LOL Day.
Happy LOL Days Sunny...definitely not a lurker but did start out that way. Loved reading about your travels around the country and of course, always enjoy your stories.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
No Cat you're definitely not a lurker here. I always love seeing your comments.
DeleteMy friend Sunny! Of course I'm by every time you post - and I never miss a Monday. Sue and I often read them together. Of course some times then give us delightful ideas to try - well they would if we weren't so well behaved. Keep writing my dear, I'll always be around.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to stop by Cassie. I'm flattered that you and Sue actually get some ideas from my stories.
DeleteHappy LOL Day.

ReplyDeleteHappy LOL Day!
Glad you did too Daisy. Don't forget to come back and visit again.
DeleteHi Sunny,
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you would consider me a lurker or not. I visit when I can and wish I had the time to read more of your blog and stories as I always enjoy them.
Best always,
Enzo
No Enzo you are not a lurker to this site. I also enjoy your blog and stories.
DeleteNo, not a lurker, just in awe of your ability to write so many stories. I've not written a thing since the end of the summer.

Trust me Del, I don't know how it happens - but it does. But then I've been writing the same 'new book' since last May. lol
