Caution: Humor, Sarcasm, and Pet Peeves!
Hey Friends
This Post is a bit of a pick and chose between my humor, sarcasm, and pet peeves.
WARNING: Proceed At Your Own Risk
Hope you enjoy :)
Clean up in aisle 5 please <
Let me begin by sharing one of my fav hobbies, that is grocery shopping. Yup, but not alone, with a member of the opposite sex. Personally there's nothing which brings me more joy, than watching a Woman laughing to the point of hysterics, I know, pretty kinky.
Now if you've read my posts, you've probably come to the conclusion, well I'm a "little out there" at times, and should be placed in a straightjacket. Well don't be fooled, "out there" is actually my comfort zone.
Back to my fav hobby :)
Making a Woman laugh hysterically while doing groceries is so much fun, and rarely have I failed at it. First she'll whisper, stop, I need to "GO!!!", Then a few moments later, in between laughing and catching her breath, and this all the while attempting a serious tone,she'll add, "stop now, I'm not joking". . At this point be observant, and notice a little shift in her walk, your almost there!
Soon after, she'll be running to the clerk, while doing something that resembles a cross between the cha cha and hopscotch, and ask for the Ladies room. Will she make it?
Now believe it or not, I have one particular friend, who before we head out to the store, packs an extra pair of jeans,or skirt in her bag, ever since that one time she actually didn't make it. Which brings me to another point; What in the heck do you Ladies pack in those bags, scary...
Anyway back to "cleanup in aisle 5 please"
You can blame my friend Bill (MrBill 6771) for this blog, as he provided me not only the pic here, he inadvertently also sparked my inspiration.
Thanks Bill.
WARNING #2
For my other kinky male friends out there;
Should you decide to attempt this, don't be surprised if you suddenly receive a can of peas, or head of cabbage upside your head upon her return, and also don't go blaming me, I have enough of my own wounds. :)
Ok now, today's business
Creating Rapport
On your Website
I notice on websites in the comment section, many of us leave "Admin" as our signature. Understanding that people want to connect, and get somewhat personal, it's a good thing to change " Admin" to your first name. It's not all that complicated, In fact my dear friend Marion Black wrote an excellent short tutorial on the subject, check it out, I left it at the bottom .
Thanks Marion, want to go shopping ?
Comments here at WA
I read many great posts, and comments here @ WA. However, there are times when I respond, that I can't find a first name. Now there's something almost magic in a first name, it connects somehow on a deeper level. And so, being that it's important for me to connect with who I'm talking with, off I go on something that's almost like a quest, searching for that valuable first name.
And so, searching through the person's profile, then through what at times seems like a Zillion comments, finally I find it. Of course for sure I know I'll find it at the very bottom, on Kyle or Carson's welcome comment, as they practice the same etiquette.
Now one should never have to work that hard to find your name, and believe me it's time consuming.
An Easy remedy is to Write your first name at the very start of your profile, something like "Hi, I'm Philibert", or sign off with it :)
Website Feedback and Comments
I know, there's a subtle difference between feedback and comments for and on websites here @ WA., subtle but important to understand.
Feedback;
Feedback is what you think of the person's website, does it lack color, are there too many grammar errors and so on. This goes here, on the feedback section of WA
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/getting-started/pl...
Comments on Websites
Feedback should not be left on the person's website itself, I know we've covered it before, however I'm noticing it more frequently lately.
Comments should be of interest to content, like "Hey John, I Love your site, I've bookmarked it for future... or hey Pete, I'm glad I found your site, can you please tell me where I can find Blah blah...
You don't leave "hey Marie, I think your header needs Blah blah. That's what the feedback section is for (link above:).
So all that said, I hope that I haven't upset any tender folk with my humor, If I have, feel free to drop a comment, and I'll take in under advisory.
If you've enjoyed, I'd love to hear about it, so let me know (humor also welcome :),
Wishing everyone, a really great weekend
That's all for now folks
Later Gators

I have had a couple of bonks in the head myself but I agree it is fun so don't feel like you are the only one and I understand what you are saying as far as the first name and I think I have solution to ease into the first name instead of the nick name and here it is my real name is David Snodgrass aka Maxiam59 aka Max aka Forever gamer all the best Max David Forever gamer
ok Max David Forever gamer, I've been calling you Max forever it seems. Which do you prefer, and please don't tell me Max David Forever gamer lol.
Have a great w/end my friend
Joseph
Since my Passion is video games every one outside of WA has always called me Max because of how I am know on the online game universe .but you Joseph can decide what to call me as long as you stay my friend all the best Max
No worries about that Max, we have history here together, which is the base of any strong friendship :)
Robert here, curious, I'm still in level 3. Over the past week I have left comments and many have left them for me. Why do I leave my website at the bottom of comments, below my name but above the 'secret' code? Is it a form of backlink? Can to many cause a problem?
The code is a "captcha", which your visitors must copy in the box below, as to assure they aren't robots :)
If you are needing to fill in your captcha to comment on your own site, then either there's something that needs to be fixed so as for you to make comments without filling it in. If you've changed your admin name to your own, make sure you've set your name also as administrator.
Also, when leaving or answering comments on your own website, sign into it first, through wordpress :)
This is also a great question to ask in the question box above, or alternatively, you can ask your question by Clicking on "questions" at the top.
A box will appear, type your question, then give a few details about it.
You will be then prompted to enter a category, click on the category of your choice.
Hit send
In no time at all, members will be around to help.
I hope this shed a little help Robert, and most importantly, feel free to contact me or anyone here, should you get stuck :)
Have a great w/end my Friend
Joseph
Thank you Joseph, One thing, When I comment on another post, why am I entering my website? Am I suppose to use MY site? Is it a form of backlink? Thanks, appreciate your time. Robert
Ok, I think maybe I got your question wrong, my bad
Are you asking about when you comment on someone else's site?
if so no, you don't enter your site for this. you simply comment then copy the captcha code to the blank box below it, then press send.
At that point, most of the time, the following notification will appear
"your comment is awaiting moderation"
Your'e good to go :)
Now the receiver will accept or deny your comment
Hope we're on track now with this one, sorry for the confusion :)

You've really done it this time. You're gonna get some cabbage to the legs, tomatoes to the torso, artichoked to the back (those will hurt), and finished off by one large Watermelon dropped from the roof. Now if you can still write posts as good as this after all that, you're alright.
LOL, you know it Geof, kinda scared now, :)
You think that at my age, I'd know better than to tease in such a fashion.
However, live fast, dangerously, and enjoy lol.
Thanks for dropping in
Joseph
Haha, great!! Tell me when you have done the groceries with Marion and Heather, I will come and help you cook the stuff.
Hahaha (they are asking here, why is mom lauching out loud) I said, I am virtuallly grocery shopping with Joseph ;)
Why suddenly am I reminded of "The Witches of Eastwick", as they poke pins in their wax doll? :)
I am sure that I am in the minority with you two, so when it comes to grocery shopping you go nicely together ;)
Remind me never to go grocery shopping with you Bro (whatever your name is). Huggs, Marion
So I've just added 'grocery shopping with Joseph' to my Bucket List.' But be warned...it's YOU who'll need the Depends my friend. :-) I get pretty high around anything food related. Would also rather enjoy wailing a cabbage at your head should what you claim be true. I've also saved Bill's perfect pic. Thanks for the morning laugh. Enjoy the full moon weekend...brings out the sillies. Heather :-)
Trust me Heather, it is true, I've also been asked, just before entering a grocery store, "please refrain from acting like a child and don't make me laugh" . lol. I mean what more motivation, and temptation could I possibly need?
However, isn't it written that one must be "childlike" to enter the kingdom of Heaven???
And, have you ever noticed how many romantic movie scenes , have actually taken place in a grocery store? Interesting, that age old 1rst chakra again, food and laughter...
There's nothing greater than laughter.
Bucket list? WhooWhaaa, I'm still in denial on that one :)
Huggs Sis, and thanks :)

1) The gates of heaven are gonna be wide open for you. :-)
2) Food and laughter are Heaven on Earth. :-)
Ya, kind of like Kyle and Carson here, St peter will be of two minds just hoping that maybe, just maybe I'll go away :)
Oh now, but wouldn't it be fun?
It is fun making your friends laugh, regardless of the aftermath and consequences. Trust me I have the scars to prove...
Have a great weekend Jude :)
I would have to think of something to make you look equally ridiculous, but yes, I am all for laughing until you can't laugh any more. I adore that feeling when my cheeks are aching. Have a great weekend :)
Hi Joseph, just a short one I too have noticed this one as well. Seems to be a recurring theme.
To use an anology, sort of involved in the landscape niche. A firm does a sub division, twenty sections none are selling. Build a spec house or two and all of a sudden sections start selling. Trick of the trade so some folks say.
Back to WA, you have a site /post so you use the comments function to obtain some comments to get the ball rolling. What you desire is some on topic comments to get the ball rolling.
Not " hey I am from WA too love your site" so it goes.
In a way we are trying to tip the scales, by using the power of a community. We just need folks to understand the process, just 1*cents worth.
Alexander
Very good analogy Alexander, I totally agree. Thanks so much :)
Appreciated !
Have a great w/end my Friend

Joseph, you had me when you said you loved to go grocery shopping with female friends. However, I usually am the one doing that sort of thing to others, so I don't know how well that would work, lol. I so agree with you about the name thing. I like to call people by their name too - I think it's important. Why is it so difficult for people to "get" the difference between comments and feedback? It seems that someone does a post about that issue every other month and yet I still see ongoing cases of improper use of these features. Are we that dense or are we just that stubborn, lol?
Blessings,
Debby
Hey Debbie, guess we'd have a great time shopping together then :)
Have a relaxing w/end
