Hello Out There!

It has come to my attention that today kicks off National De-Lurking Week. If you’re a regular—or even an irregular—reader, then take a few seconds to say hi. You don’t have to leave your email address or web page, if you have one. Just a hello and a first name will do!

UPDATE Jan. 16th: Many thanks to all of you who de-lurked this week! That wasn’t so painful, was it? There’s still one more day for the rest of you

I comment occasionally but I’ll say “Hi” anyway. :)

ville said...

I could just stand up and say “Hi!”, but then they would have to send me back to the factory.

Micah said...

Yeah, it’s probably been a while since I posted, too. Great blog, always a good read. :)

Paul said...

I’m lurking, but I wrote you a letter. Will that keep me from having my IP posted?

BTW, you always have great links to pages.

Bob-SK said...

Hi! :)

Steph Waller: said...

u9: You’ve been sorely missed of late!

Paul: You’re always safe with me.

Bob: Hi back. Did you see that there’s a link to your article (Romancing The Sauce) on my side bar? I still love it.

Sanity Lost said...

I love to stop by and lurk. I found you through Bob S-K’s blog whom I found through Fred’s.

MommaK said...

I’m no lurker but I’m saying hello just the same.

I love this idea!

Lil Red said...

Like you really needed to hear from me … again. But here I am! Hola!

Jim Ippolito said...

Hi Steph: I’m new, and there’s a lot to go through, but I’m loving every minute of it.
Thanks again for posting my link. Time for bed now, I hope.

I don’t think of it as lurking, but as film research… it’s my job. But thank you for the inspiration.

Spacemo said...

How-dy! I decided to take a detour from Geor3ge’s place to check yours out! :)

Nell Gavin said...

Ah! There’s the comment field I was looking for! It finally popped up for me.

So, hi!

Paul said...

I’ll be sure to check it out! How exciting. Things are starting to calm down around here and there is something about our house that makes me want to write again, so I’ve started some new little bits of things. I’ll check out the link.

Liz W. said...

Guess i haven’t said hello in awhile. Elo’!

Bob-SK said...

That hot sauce article gets some good mileage! I’m glad you liked it.

Marti Berger said...

I’m dropping by to say hi, Steph - Gruess Gott from your “Sophie” at your old Mozart salon. Your links are great!

“Mozartballs” will be shown soon in Europe, and, I hope, also in the US. I’d like to buy the two-disk DVD. Please let us know when it will be available, and if it can be bought through Amazon.com

Thanks!
Yours sincerely,
Marti

I was looking for you guys… My link to the old Yahoo Group is not working anymore. How are you all?

Dr. Pants said...

Hiya. I also lurk. Thought I should follow your instructions and cut it out.

Marti Berger said...

Hi guys!
I’m looking for Mr. Penguin from the old Mozart salon. I hope that he reads your blog, Steph, spreads his wings, and flies on over.
But, come to think of it, I’ve never heard of penguins actually flying……..
Yours sincerely,
Marti

Sanity:
Anyone who likes Bob S-K is all right in my book. I’ll check out your blog today.

MommaK:
Glad you stopped by!

Lil Red:
I never get tired of hearing from you.

Jim:
Glad you’re enjoying my blog.

Larry:
I’m honored!

Spacemo:
Anyone who “gets” Geor3ge is a friend of mine!

Liz:
Meow meow!

Bob
Do you have other articles?

Marti:
Well, hello! Long time no see!

Kari-Anne:
I disbanded the Group some time ago due to a general lack of interest from the members. We’re doing great. How’s that new baby?

Dr. Pants!
Glad to see you, and the link to your “new” blog. I’ve missed my daily dose of mad genius.

Marti Berger said...

Hi Steph!
I enjoy reading your blog very much.
Yours sincerely,
Marti

Steph Waller: said...

Hi Marti - Great to see you again!

Bob-SK said...

No other articles. I write fiction, too, but nothing very interesting.

Marti Berger said...

Hi Steph!
Thanks! :-D
Same here!
Hey; that’s a great idea, to let cameras into your home and film a reality series.
That would be fun.
Perhaps Larry Weinstein knows people who might be able to make that happen.
Of course, there is the downside of loss of privacy, but you’d still have a lot of privacy. The cameras are not always on, and they are rolling only at your discretion.
Still, it would be a fun experience.
Yours sincerely,
Marti

Steph Waller: said...

It’s already a done deal. Much of Mozartballs was filmed here in our home.

Nettl said...

Been there, done that, didn’t even get a T-shirt…

We got a trip to Vienna instead! :-P

Marti Berger said...

Well, that was a great experience.
And the film will be available on DVD.
Yours sincerely,
Marti :)
