Lots of Comments

Yesterday, I got the funniest email. I wasn't too sure about it at first. I was afraid that our efforts could be mistaken as Spam. After checking in this afternoon, and seeing that there were already many people joining the bandwagon, I decided to go forward full speed. Check it out.....

Hi,

I got your e-mail from a comment you made on Marry (Owlhaven’s) blog. Did
you see her post about buying 1000 comments?

I thought it would be insanely funny if we gave her 1000 comments on an
entry. I collected 33 of your names, so if everyone adds 30 comments, we
should get there. Plus, people who I haven’t contacted will probably catch
on so I doubt it will be necessary for each of us to do all 30.

So, add your comments to her “Works for me Wednesday” entry (October 11th).
On the off chance she doesn’t do one, add comments to the first post on
Thursday.

You know the coolest part? In doing something kind for Mary, I have been blessed too. I have received all kinds of sweet comments and visits from new readers. How cool is that?!

Mary3If you feel so inclined, join in on the fun. Last I checked, there are 325 comments on the "Works for Me Wednesday" post over at Owlhaven. Wow!!!!

Update: 648 comments over at Owlhaven as of 8:27 MST. Holy Smokes!!! I think she just might make it to 1000!

Another Update: Owlhaven reached 1000 comments at 11:19pm MST!! The really fun thing is that the same person left the 1st comment and the 1000th comment. Good for you, Sarah, for sticking it out.

Thanks to all of you that stopped by and commented. I enjoyed visiting all of you too. 8^)

    You too...you get comments too.

    I wasn't sure why everyone was commenting over and over..I thought THEY were trying to get comments...but then I read your e mail. That is funny!! Next time we should pick a blog and have everyone click on the ads 30 times each and soon we can all have a little extra cash!! :-)

    What a fun idea! I'm sad that I was too late reading this to participate. Let me know next time so that I can help out again too. Ü

    I'm sorry I didn't respond to your email about it yet! I also wondered it it would be considered a pain or not. I didn't end up participating, but that is sweet that she did get 1000 comments!
