It's especially hard when you lose a really great site. I don't think it's the work so much as the homesickness for the other site that's bothering me.

Oh well, time to suck it up. At least I have all my old buddies here with me and some new ones like you! We can all help each other get going on our new blogs!

At least we have all the old gang back together again. That makes it all worth while.

That's one of the worst things about the way BF went down - if someone didn't have a particular blogger's e-mail address, there's no way to contact them. Fortunately, several of us were in touch outside of BlogFeast, which is why we got together to quickly.

I hope hatsrus finds us.

I shall ask her to come over.

Catfish, Inquest and I never got our e-mail until we begged Admin for help.

some time soon.

And to tell you the truth, I don't think I'd want anyone I deal with in a business manner to read my blog. I get a little too personal on my blog and I can also express opinions on my blog that would be suicide in some business settings.

but every once in awhile I do want to talk about real life issues of mine, and, in business, no one wants to see that, and no one wants to let just anyone in on it either. So, I'm probably leaving it alone.

But, some things just don't mix. Like my cats and my dancing. :-D

them's the breaks, I guess. Now, what are the points for around here, and how can you see who has how many points without clicking on each individual member?

around here - except maybe for bragging right. No high points box, no Wiki privileges, no nothing. Maybe when you have lots of points you get more pull with Admin?

though, thus far, from the looks of things around here, I haven't tracked down one long time blogger here. I mean, there are names from a long time ago, but they haven't written anything in awhile. If that's the normal pattern, then they're going to be shocked by us!

been around less and less ever since the moderation system was taken down and the sploggers started flooding in.

Yep! I think the BP Admin may want to sit up and take notice of the kind of activity real bloggers can generate.

The demise of BF becomes the surge of BE and BP. Hummm....

I'm having a hard time letting go of my BF binky!!!!!

I left BF at least 4 times, remember? And it got a little easier each time. But that binky thing kept me coming back. I understand it well. What's weird is the last time I returned, I was a lady. Even that didn't help with longevity:)

the camaraderie that we seemed to have on BF, to tell you the truth. When PW, Inquest and I started looking at a different blogging site, truthfully, we saw some names we recognized, but in reading the posts there was no real sense of community at any of them, including here. Yet, this is where we've come, and maybe we can grow one at some point.

As for me, I have to find something else to make me mad; let's see what I can come up with. :-)

Tweety is telling Bugs lies about you behind your back.

(Just thought I'd help you find something to be mad about.)

I found something already that made me mad. Go check out my most recent blog entry.

I was digging around the member list and some of these blogger haven't been seen in quite some time. Well we're here now so we can still cut up and cause a ruckus!!! Where is sassys?? I never see her.
I always seem to miss her.

LOL!!

Sassy has been working some split shifts - lunch and then dinner - so she's here at odd times. She was on this afternoon for about an hour and then had to go back to work. Poor girl, she is working hard for the money!!!

because, isn't it the cuckoo that takes over "used" nests for its own purpose?

Besides, I'm kind of used to being described as cuckoo - for other reasons.

sof fest. But, Allie, you can still get your posts off Google. Just search for you post titles, if you have them (or you can get them from Technorati or RSS Feed) and you can call up the cached page and copy it into Word.

I saved all my posts but I want to keep a copy of the comments. You know, sometimes the comments are the best part of the post.

I'll have to get them then! And I would love to have a good sob fest with a few of you.

And I completely agree that the comments can be the best part sometimes.

Then copy and paste then into the body box and always save them in My Documents. I have a WU file Blogger party and BlogFeast file.

I've gotten some of mine already - been busier than a one-legged man stompin' ants lately and haven't gotten them all. Part of it is because I'm hoping I won't have to - I'm still hoping that BF will come back up. I know, I'm beating a dead horse. Or, to beat the analogies to death, I'm like a dog with a bone, I just won't let go.

I understand the pull, but we can't allow ourselves to be played like that, now can we? Time to remove the binky and move on to the fluffy animals!

Why can't anyone ever advise me to do something that's fun and comforting? Why is is always grow up and move on?

Crap. Some days, being an adult is absolutely no fun at all.

(Just kidding, ya' know, Catfish.)

especially if some of them are your friends from the past. Ii have Snoopy, Opus, Bugs Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety, et al. They watch over me all day long. Course, they're not trying all that hard to keep me out of trouble; maybe that's why we're friends.

They get dragged around the house - attacked and de-stuffed. I guess I'll have to just stick to my un-stuffed fluffy animals. But they do offer the same advantage, in that they don't do much to keep me out of trouble. I think that's usually a point in their favor but there are times....

the Cat Lady moniker. No, that wouldn't work for you, though one of my friend's husband keeps his door closed so her cats can't get into his room. They also happen to sleep in separate bedrooms also. :-)

I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the tip!!

I had to recover my business blog in its entirety last year when our hosting service totally crashed and hadn't backed anything up; weasels.

And I agree, never say never!

Sassys
BF? I have an e-mail addy for them but I am not sure if they will get it...I am going to try anyways and see if it comes back as "undeliverable" I love a good mystery!

But go for it. It may get to them and you may get an answer - which would be great. I'd love to know if they are at least trying to get the site back up.

Sassys
I will send them something in a few minutos:) If on the other hand it does come back as undeliverable then we pretty much have our answer right there!

I had trouble getting my BlogFeast blog claimed and I heard from several other people who had trouble, like Manodogs. In fact, it took me at least 6 tries to get the BlogFeast blog claimed - but it finally worked. I was actually a little surprised that this one went through the first time. LOL!

but it's just not taking it. I keep wondering if it's because it's associated with my main business rather than a blogging site. But I will keep trying; weasels!
