Had Good Ol’ Surgery

It has been a few days since I posted to any of my blogs. Since I started my nine blogs, I thought I could keep up with the content as much as possible. But every now and again people either gets sick have a death in the family, surgery, etc. In my cas

Cary,

Darren is dead? It must have been the lawnmower guy. Every two weeks he times mowing to coincide with Darrens overseas call. I sensed evil was afoot.

I wonder, could this be the lawnmower man who got his passwords? Posting in his name as the Google royalties got too much for him to take. The disease originated in the states and is named “Jones-itis”. The lawnmower man was comparing the google checks and it got the better of him.

But seriously, blogging is no fun when you are sick. Hope all is better Darren and that you will be feeling better in the near term.

I agree with Melissa’s post. Welcome to the World of Celebrity. Darren, you’ve made it and you should be proud of it. Now you know how very important you are to the blogging world. Get well soon. Glad to see the posts have resumed.

To good health always!

Good news, Darren. I guess if someone’s going to make up stupid crap about someone, at least it was stupid crap that caused people to think good thoughts and pray for you. Nothing wrong with that.

Glad you’re well!

Is blogging such a cut-throat enterprise? To confess illness (even the common cold) would trigger other bloggers to create a smear campaign to skuddle the blog?

Guess your question could have been written: “What happens when a blogger needs a sick day, but quickly rebounds stronger and more popular than ever?”

I heard the “alex” of themilliondollarhomepage.com was sick for a few days, as described on his blog. While believable, I couldn’t help think it was also a clever story to take some time off and buy a Porsche! Just kidding.

OK. If I understand all this correctly, you’ve sold the site to a UK telephone company who has hired your wife as an advisor. They’ll be no new posts for six months, and when it does start up again, it will be a medical advice site? But our passwords will still work, right? And we should look for our refund checks to be in the mail soon.

I still don’t understand the part about the elephants and alternative energy sources, though. But never mind that, I’m happy that you are feeling better and aren’t blinded.

That’s how you know that you are “famous”. People start making up crazy stories about you; and that is only after a few days of blogging absence! hahaha

What? me skim a post and not take time to fully comprehend it .. never. Hmm, what were we talking about? LoL.

Seriously I missed any rumor that the blogs were for sale (thankfully, because it saved my piggy bank from a hammer smash to ascertain my current net worth…. but, having worked for years in a huge bureaucracy I’m well aware of a few folks whose motto is, “If you haven’t heard a good rumor by 1 pm, then start one.”

Stay the course, Darren, and don’t try to come back and do too much too soon.

Best regards
Dave
