WELCOME TO MY BLOG SITE!

This is all very new to me, and I expect it to get better with time, energy, and practise.

A little about myself: After several years of living in one town and working and going to a university college, I recently moved to a new town with a new job caring for two kids. I have been the "nanny" for these kids (age 9 and 6) for a year now, and my boss MR. BIG, a long time friend, will be posting on this site occasionally as well. I have a major in English and Cultural Anthropology, as well as serious knowledge in educating youth. Before that, I worked in minimum wage hell, that is to say, the fast food industry, so I'm sure you'll be hearing a fair amount of ranting in that area.

AND NOW FOR MY FIRST TOPICS...

Congrats on the blog, I'll be back again to check on how it goes. So far so good.

Hi Samantha -

I saw in my stats that somebody had been referred to my blog from yours, so in true psycho fashion I came over to see what your site was all about. I have no idea how they found their way from you to me, but I linked to you anyway because I like your humor. Nice site!

Hi. I liked your site. I put a link in my blogroll to yours. Nothingandall

I just found your blog today, and so far it looks pretty interesting. You seem to have some fresh new stuff and a lot to talk about. Also, it looks like you linked to some great blogs. I especially like Michelle Malkin. I'll take a chance on you and link you on HG. If it looks like you're going to turn out to be a left winger though, I'll have to reconsider. Anyway, so far so good.

The little private blogroll thing at the left side of the page shows me links others don't see. I have an extensive list of blogs there, plus a new batch of random blogs to check out every time I visit so every day I can visit a new set of blogs. The page would be way too slow if I were to make that public so for now it's marked as double super top secret. Thanks for dropping by!

PS. I’ve added you to my blogroll.

Yes, Michelle Malkin is a great blogger! I may not agree 100% with everything, but there's no doubt she's a powerhouse of a blogger.

Hi there.

Found you through the Darkstar, interesting reading you've got here.

I've added you to my blogroll, nice to 'meet' you!

Likewise. I've added you to my list, and Sam and I will be checking out your site.

Hi Samantha. I just started reading your blog. Looks good to me. I added you to my blogroll.

Keep up the good work.

Hi,

Really enjoy your site. You left a comment on my ScienceNews Daily blog. I really enjoy your posts so I added you to my blog roll.

You look like a ranting right winger to me...keeoool. I'll be adding you to not just any blogroll, but my hyper-distinguished blogroll.
Keep up the swell blogging.

Came here from my site stats (which said someone came to my site from here; I'm all about the reciprocity that way) -- anyhoo, thought I'd say "Howdy" and let you know I've just added you to my blogroll/sidebar/link fest/whatchamacallit on my blog template...

Hi-

I've decided to add you to my blogroll. I'd be happy if you'd add me to yours. Thanks

Hi all,

I've added you all! Thanks for reading! Samantha and I appreciate it!

Saw you added, me, I added you. Like the site by the way, it is on my bloglines list. What is with the asterick next to my site?

Thanks for asking, the asterisk is put beside sites that are new to my blogroll

Hi Samantha (and the big guy too),

I'm a Canadian woman living off on another world and found your site via the Canadian Expat Blog. I like the look of what you have created and I like how you both write.

And I feel just a little closer to Canada after rummaging around your blog. Thanks.

You have been very busy. Thanks for the hat tip.

Hi, Samantha! I came here from... oh darn, it's been a few weeks now I've been reading, and I can't remember how I found you... sorry, not-quite-senior moment there... anyhow, you're on my blogroll now! Great blog!

Very nice! Found you through a trackback, though I'm not linked in the post at all, so I'm wondering about the trackback....

Anyway, I decided to blogroll you after spending the better part of the last two hours reading you.

Sam, I came across your blog because you commented on mine about smoking. I love your humor and have not laughed so much in a while. You are fantastic and will definitely be added to my blog roll as a must read!

Howdy,

I was scanning my referred URLs and found this site as a source for a link, though I never found the link itself. In the process of looking for the link, I read most of the posts on the frontpage and really enjoyed it all.

Now I finally got around to linking to you.

So fun.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting at the Cheese.

Quid pro quo time.

I have finally added you to the permanent 'groll.

That should make it easier for me to find my way back! :)

All should be added. If I missed anyone, please let me know!


Dear Sam you have a wonderful gift for humor. I will be sending many more people your way. Keep it up, you make my day in a moment brighter.

Nice place you have here, found you through a sitemeter referal (thanks for having me on the blogroll, I'll be returning the favor shortly).

Added ya !

hey samantha...

I saw some people found my site from the link to you put up on the blogroll

thanks, I appreciate that, and I put your site on my blogroll.

Howdy Samantha! I have added you to my blogroll. I love your brand of lunacy. You had better be careful, though. Intelligent people may start thinking that you are sane, and then your reputation will be shot to pieces.

You have been added to my blogroll. Nice site and I enjoy your posts. We ranters must stick together. ;-)

David


Just added you to my blogroll. I think I'm going to waste lots of time here.

cheers,
rodolfo

I added you to my blog roll although I think I'll have to give you your own category as you defy description, (which is a good thing.)You've got a great blog and I admire anyone who has the ability to talk about Pool Pee as well as Politics.

Anthony

Samantha, great blog. I found you because of the link you have pointing toward me (it showed up in my incoming links list). Thanks. I think your blog is great and have added you to my Social Bookmark list of linky: see: http://www.lofitribe.com/links

Everyone should be added (except Shawn - doing that tonight) - if I missed anyone let me know. Welcome on board! Samantha frequently visits her reader blogs, and often links to those on her reader blogs if something interesting (and related to her style) shows up, so hopefully the traffic can be shared with everyone!

MrBig

Thanks for adding me to your blogroll - I have yet to start one but as soon as I figure out how to do one - you'll be there :-) Hope you like the pics!!

Hi, Samantha -- found your blog while checking my referrer logs -- apparently someone clicked through to my blog from yours. I see I come up in your "random blogroll," which is cool: thank you. Wonder how I made it on there ... we don't know each other, do we?

I tried to send this to you in email but didn't see any contact/about me page on your blog with an email address, so I'm leaving this comment here -- hopefully you'll see it.

I've subscribed to your blog in my aggregator: looking forward to reading what you have to say.

I am commenting here to get myself linked, because I am a total link whore.

Oh yeah, found your site in my referrals.

Hi Samantha, just found your blog. Really like your style and variety of opinions. I just added your Blog to my list of favorite blogs - posted on my blog page which is published through my website instead of Blogroll. I'd appreciate your consideration for including my Security Alert Blog in your Blog Roll.

Thanks,
Richard

Welcome all! (the list is growing oh my).

All should be added. If I missed anyone, let me know.

MrBig
(aka the quieter part of www.samanthaburns.com)

Ah ha, so THAT is how someone managed to find my wonder of wonders that is Apologies Demanded.

It was in your bookmarks at home and you decided to share.

I am honored by your readership.

and amazed. I'd add a link but right now I have little time.

and my computer is..... out of commission for now.

I'm a random blogger, so quite randomly I came here to have a random look.

Interesting blog. Good writing. I'll be reading. I've added you to my sidebar too.

I've been visiting your site for about a week now and have decided to add you to my blogroll. A reciprocal link would be nice, but definitely not expected. I will continue to visit regardless. Keep up the good work. :-)

Hi Samantha,
I added my blog to blogroll, my blog is about crime victims and my personal story.
Take care and hope you visit Holly's Fight for Justice http://fightforjustice.blogspot.com

I can't remember how the hell I got here because I surf all over the place, but consider yerself blogrolled!
;-)

Yet another reader coming to you from the stats of visitors to my blog. I've blogrolled you. I hope I never have to regret it. *sigh* And there's something so depressing about seeing you with well over twice the number of visitors to my blog in only a month and a half. I started my blog over a year before yours. I'm just not working hard enough to get visitors. But good luck to you. I'm also adding your site to my feedreader.

Gotcha. Thanks for the Random Pick. Will get you on the Echo9er links soon.

Cruizin round the 'sphere in true bored fashion... your site temporarily cured that boredom so in true link whore fashion i'll be adding you to my pathetic teeny site...

Don't be a stranger, stop by now and then...

I'll be checkin in with'cha myself here and there.

Keep up the good work!
(I love Canucks- I'm a former border dweller from Upstate NY)

Josh McPeak

Holly, you've been added, good luck on your quest for justice. (sorry took me so long)

Beth, thanks so much, you're up as well!

Wordlackey, no worries. I'm sure Sam can handle it :) Good to have a variety of viewpoints anyway.

Echo9er. Thanks much! Never forget is right!

Josh, you bet! Sam and I love reading the reader blog roll. Makes some great reads!

I've noticed a hit or two from your site... I found myself in your Random blogroll....

You have been added to mine as well (well.... to my only blogroll since I don't have a random one)

Found your blog via the referrals on my weblog. You've got me listed under the "Random Blogroll". I'm interested to know how you select those.

I've added you to my blogroll to come back and read.

You both have been added to the reader blogroll.

As for how they are selected, I let the computer pick whom I put in that list but I took many hours and hours of time to create the original list - a very manual and labourous process indeed (and I'm not being sarcastic and trying to actually sarcastically say it was fast... really it was anything but fast). Sure wish I knew how to automate that part!

Howdy, i discovered you when I backtracked and found that my blog was one of your random links. Nice site you've got here...I'll add it to mine

:)

Same here. I appear to be on the random blogroll. When referrer stats showd activity, my inner stalker kicked in.

Great site. You're now linked on my site, best of luck to you.

Christopher and Ben,

Thanks for dropping by! Sam told me I had some work to do adding a few sites to the reader blogroll, and voila, you are both added :)

Yeah, I was up websurfing in the middle of the night, checked my stats, and following out a clue I discovered my blog in your random blogroll. "Let the Finder Beware" indeed!

You've got a cool blog here, I've added you to my my blogroll.

I've put your blog onto the reader blogroll. Thanks Paul! "Let the Finder Beware" - indeed!

Thanks for the inclusion in your random section. I have read through many of Samanatha'a posts and have concluded the following:

1. That I will add you to my blogroll immediately
2. That if I were single, younger, better looking, richer, possessed of more charm and otherwise worthy of your attention, I would follow you to the ends of the earth. Why? You construct coherent sentences AND have a sense of humour. Wow.

Thanks Sieg,

I've put you on the reader blogroll. BTW, Sam IM'ed me today about your compliment with a :P to me. I'm guessing she liked it!

wow I get a mysterious hit from an unknown site - so I go and check it out. And guess what - a blog that is coherently constructed, well written, more than chuckle-worthy and updated regularly. Everything mine is not :) Seriously - an excellent blog, I'll be linking to you - add me to your blogroll please - could always do with more hits!


Stephen,

Thanks for dropping by and for the kind words for Sam! You've been added to the reader blogroll.

MrBig

Hi :) My blog is a part of your "Random Blogroll" and that is how I came to know about your blog.

I have added you to my blogroll too and it will remain permanent :) not just as to "return the favour" but also because your blog is nice and I would like to read it often.

Ah, and yes, I notice that this blog started on my birthday :)


Truman - cool! Nice coincidence. You are now on the reader blogroll. Thanks for coming by and Sam will appreciate the compliments.

Hey there! I noticed that my blog was part of your random blogroll. After poking through your blog, you've been added to my blogroll.

Please keep on ranting!

Hey, Samantha! Please add me to your blogroll! Thanks!

Thanks The Monkey King and Bonnie for dropping by!

You've both been added to the reader blogroll.

Do drop by again :)

Hi Samantha and/or Mr. Big,

Shall we blogroll each other?

I'll add a link here to my blog this afternoon.

Many thanks,

Wandering Coyote.

Wandering Coyote,

Absolutely, you will be put up on my next update.

MrBig

Ha! Your perfection is under attack, you have linked back to my old blogspot blog which in fact sucks more suckiness than a very sucky thing (to put it bluntly) I demand eggs, bacon, milk, cookies & a gosh darned correction. Or a firm spanking.

Hello Not for Sale,

You are right, your old blog did suck worse than suckiness. I've now put in the proper link and removed that scum sucking blog permanently. Oh, and I put your new blog on the readerblog roll.

BTW, I'm not sure what exactly you plan to do w/ egg, bacon, milk, cookies and a firm spanking but I'm fairly certain that would be Sam's department.

The milk & cookie ideas ooze from every pore. Lamentably, Im unable to post them here lest I offend the internets sensitivities. (which should tell you something about the quality of said ideas considering the average colour of the internet is a pinky brown)

Anyway, what was I saying? I forget, assume it was important.

Testing the my shiney new typekey identity... totally NOT spam.

Totally forgot to update the posting, you have been added a long time ago - sorry 'bout that.

Great site! I am adding you to my blogroll!

I've been reading your Rants for quite a while and also noticed the occasional hit coming to my site. I later discovered that Aardvark Alley was in rotation in your Random Blogroll, so I read about getting in your regular blogroll, etc.

Since sloth is the Deadly Sin I most battle, I of course have been putting off listing and contacting you. Since I took so long, I offer a sort of apology by also pimping your blog in a post from today.

How can I resist adding you and asking for reciprocity? Please accept my humble offering of Ask the Pastor for your blogroll.

Thanks for all the comments. I will be adding you all to the blogroll this evening (if I haven't already).

Cheers!
Mr. Big

PS: I was the one whom added Aardvark Alley to the random blogroll so would be happy to have you on the reader blogroll! :)

Looking forward to the honor of inclusion and for the recognition prior to my needing to grovel. It usually doesn't work that way.

Hi Samantha

Thanks for blogrolling Wind Rose Hotel! I like your weblog very much and I am pleased to inform you that I returned the favour.

All the best
Rob

I saw a referal come in and wanted to see if it was the guns, explosives, or sex postings that caught your interest. I was mildly disappointed to discover I was just random. Hmmm... For such a pretty face I think I can do that too. I just need to put away the guns and explosives while I'm being random (random with the sex usually isn't life threatening and can be rather entertaining).

I'm considering blogrolling you. I only do that for sites I read nearly post every day. You probably will qualify. Thanks for creating the opportunity for an introduction.

Found this blog because mine was on your random blogroll. Thank you for the link! (By the way, I now have a new blog, and your link is to my old one) I have added you to my blogroll as well.

Interesting blog. I will definitely visit again.

I found myself on your random blogroll, and I just want to say thank you. I've blogrolled you in turn.

Sorry taken me so long to get to add everyone. Been sick for while now and just got the energy to deal with the blogroll today.

All have been added to the reader blogroll. If I missed anyone, my apologies, and let me know.

Saw that i had been put on your random blogroll. Really like your site, linked to it on my blog.

Hi, Samantha. I have been getting hits from your random blogroll for a while now. I have used a recent blogroll clean-up to add your blog to my blogroll. Would be great if you return the favor. No obligations, of course.

Hi!
Thanks for putting me (The Ten O'Clock Scholar) on your "Random Blogroll"! How ever did you find my humble blog? I have placed you on my list of "interesting blogs", since I have indeed found your blog interesting!

I could not find an email, but I did add the OTA to my blog. Put the blog-roll on the right hand side of the bog. I've been tweeking the blog today, so who knows where anything will end up!

I've been doing trackbacks all along, so why not?

The Pink Flamingo

You certainly have quite an interesting blog here. I only discovered it recently as I nosed around online. I'll be back to check up on your rants, etc.
