Quantcast

The things my husband says…

“Who are you texting so late?”

“My friend, Jon Deal. He’s trying to cheer me up because there is no damn Diet Coke on tap anywhere in the state of Washington. Oh, and because I lost 41 subscribers after posting those photos of me making out with half of BlogHer. I’m trying to get him to come next year, he’d have fun.”

“The male to female ratio at that thing must be staggering. I think I’ll start a blog and form a pack of males to go pick up on chicks.”

“You’re going to start a blog and go to BlogHer to go hit on women? You do realize that the majority of them are Mommybloggers, right?”

“Of course. It’s the best demographic. Mommybloggers have a proven track record that they put out.”

    Awe, that is so sweet of you.

    It was a wee bit sad to see today. I am not even sure how it happened. I have been trying to tinker with my feedburner account because it has never been right since I got my own URL and some how, some WAY I started getting email notifications of people who unsubscribe.

    I have no idea how to turn it the hell off and I wish I could because it is just damn DEPRESSING.

    You keep your husband the hell away from BlogHer. I’ll never get a chance to take another awesome picture if he’s hanging around, even if he is trying to pick up women.

    Plus, I don’t want to dilute the attention. My happiness at BlogHer was inversely proportionate to the number of men that were there.

    I’m going to start 42 new email addresses and subscribe to your blog from all of them.

    You lost 41 subscribers for showing pictures of you kissing two girls while I talk routinely about sleeping with one? Houston, we may have found my subscription problem.

    In all seriousness though, I’m sorry. That totally sucks. Well…actually they suck.

    Heres to getting 41 new awesome subscribers to replace the crappy old ones!

    Love you Lore!

    P.S. – Your husband makes me laugh.

    Honestly! 41 people gone – poof… I’m not a gal who kisses other gals, BUT, I certainly don’t judge you. I’ll subscribe when we return to Utah from our “vacation”.

    Your husband’s logic is excellent – someone’s been lovin’ on a Mama…

    Well played, Loralee’s husband. Well played.

    The flaw:

    Mommybloggers “put out”. Past tense.

    Most moms I know stopped putting out when they got less sleep, more work and husbands who stopped helping…

    He stands a better chance at a Playboy convention!

    Just sayin’….

    A: the shots of you kissing other women should have earned you MORE subscribers, not less!

    B: is it possible that your feedburner was just really behind and when you started messing around with it, finally decided to play catch up?

    You could have lost all of those subscribers after you loudly proclaimed your love of Air Supply. Not that I am agreeing with them, b/c I too heart Air Supply, and am probably the only 25 year old out there who does!

    and C: if Jon wants to get lucky at some convention, there are MUCH better ones where your odds are MUCH better! Try Vegas! Surely there is a Nympomaniac Anonomous meet up there yearly?!

    DP sucks ass. Seriously. It’s like sucking on ass. DC is where it’s at, and nobody can ever tell me otherwise. I used to be a Pepsi drinker, back when they had Pepsi points. I got myself a towel! And lots of abdominal fat. The thing that pisses me off about those points programs is that they’re now all online. Like I have time to log onto iCoke <a href=”http://dougsrantsraves.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-secret-workplace-shame.html” everytime I have a Diet Coke… I’d never get anything done.

    You seriously lost 40 subscribers over the kissing pictures? I thought you were joking. I’m disappointed that there wasn’t any tongue.
