Well, maybe I care too much. Yes, I do wonder and feel a tinge of hurt when a subscriber unscubscribes. Call me a drama queen but I suspected I got my first unsubscription while commenting by a blogger´s recent posted blog. I don´t know what hurts more, being blocked or losing a subscriber.

Just in case a flamer is about, here is my answer to an eventual question/s:

  • I have a daily ration of 10 posts.
  • I am bored, hurt and curious that is why I blogged this topic.
  • I only have 7 more blogs allowed after I post this
  • Yeah, I unsubscribed to two bloggers myself.
  • Yeah, I have posted a total of 3 nonsense blogs today....sue me....and take a number while you´re at it
  • Yeah, I will not state my reason but I am asking each and everyone the reason that will compell them to unsubscribe to a blogger
  • NO, I will not try to beat myself working on 10 blogs within 24 hours --- I´ve learned my lessons
  • I will tell the reason why I unsubscribed but not who....if the comments reach...hhhhmmm better name an impossible number........50 without my comments being counted in and no one commenter can post more than 2 comments please. At least for today.....This clause expires after 24 hours....afterwhich you can comment onwards, unlimited but my lips are sealed

Thanks, for taking time to read.

    it's ok paper.  try not to take it so personally.  you can't let everyone hurt you or they'll be nothing left for the important ones in your life!

    I have unsubscribed to some that I find out are weirdos or kooks or something like child molesters. If someone gives me a hard time an totally disagrees with me to the point of being stupid, I do it as a warning to stop making stupid comments. I have blocked people who delete my comments. However, I have deleted some stupid comments that are not worthy of my posts. It is good to be the king (of your own blog).

    Woohoooo! ALIEN that means I´m a Queen...moi?!?

    This means, I don´t get to be sued right?  Better e-mail my boss, who is seriously going to set her lawyers on me :    (

    ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    Secret,
    you have to use a hammer on me skull, dear...I can´t seem to get it into my head that there are....let me go and check.....OK , update 62,000 +/- members of SoulCast....and I should not whine because one member, unsubscribe.

    Funny, thing it seems to be always the people I admire who I "allow" to hurt me.  And it is always a puzzle because I am totally clueless to the reason!

    Therefore to my ex-subscriber, whatever it was " me sorry", alright?!

    Love & Peace,

    Paper~

    P.S.

    Hey Guys,  do you know what I still need to remind myself, over and over again?  That I could post whatever I want and should not be apologetic....

    as the German´s saying goes:

    Übung macht den Meister ---

    Practice makes perfect!

    Thanks for always being there Secret & ALIEN, when it counts, and even if my blogs today are a tad ambivalent.

    In a word NO. I 've had several subscribers decide that they've had enough and pull the plug,. gees..I was soooo devastated I immediately went tnto a cartharsis, vomited, crapped myself..and fell over sideways..bemoaning the fact that some simple minded moronic, brain frozen, turds saw fit to divest themselves of the burdern of having to come to terms with their inner most homosexual, deviant selves. Whew..but as it were..was..in the beginning, now and ever shall be...I love being amongst people of like mindeness..those that have fun and share a huge .." so what" attitude..
     
    ahhhhhhhh..bring me back to sanity...poof...Scotty?? Dun we have enou power...to beam me to intelligent life again???? And in French the term is Marde !!!!!
  • PAPERBACKWRITER said on Dec 18, 2006....
    LOL!!!

    You got it, cops!  I lost my heart to you the first time you profess your respect and affection for my Godmomsie Jenna. I said if this gentleman could express love, than he too is worth loving...

    We shared much a many a blog, when we post comments, but it is the first time that I have the honor of having you comment in my blog.  You came when I most needed company.  Thanks so much, it is deeply appreciated.

    My German uncle has a house in France;  he has been building and working at it for almost a decade, aspiring to attain what he has envisioned.  He works hard and very disciplined --- characters much associated as typical German.  He not only aspires to build his dream house in a quaint village in France but is working on acquairing a certain:

    Laissez-faire or laisser-faire short for

    "laissez faire, laissez aller, laissez passer,"

     "let do, let go, let pass."

    As a child I aspired to live in Germany --- yearning for order and discipline; now I aspire, what my German uncle aspires...to one day shrug my shoulder and say :

    C'est la vie!

    "That's life!"; or "Such is life!"
    AND as you said, when sanity seems to wander oh so far....I could always utter the word Merde! Yeah, crap!!! To heck and back!!!

    What a release! Are you ready cops? Beam us up Scotty!

  • mobil said on Dec 18, 2006....
    I don't understand why we subscribe. What does that do exactly?
    It seems I can read anything anyone said or says. Do you get a
    notice when someone you subscribe to writes something?
  • PAPERBACKWRITER said on Dec 18, 2006....
    I guess, dear mobil it is an unwritten codex in SoulCast, at least for me.

    This is one of the reason, I posted this blog.  To find out what is the reason behind other bloggers subscribing behaviour.  I have read some comments on subscriptions or maybe even blog about it , I cannot recall.  For this reason this blog was born.

    Well, I like you, so I pretend I´m talking to you, and try to forget that there are thousands if not millions of pair of eyes reading this.

    I subscribe, to show my appreciation of the bloggers ability, first and foremost.  Furthermore to show my friendship and loyalty.

    Although at times of time pressure, I do use my subscription feature to track down long lost blogger that discusses topics I really appreciate.

    Sometimes, I am tempted to delete some for efficiency but I thought again....you know, what comes around goes around?

    Mobil, I´ll cut my comment short....I´m sleepy (YIPEEE!!!Finally insomnia thing of the past!?),  you have a virtual soothing aura. 

    {kisses, left and right cheek}

    (hugs)

    Good Night! 

    Paper~

    So very glad, you are back...and writing so many memories ...I´m so touched...I can´t comment because I can´t --- not ready yet to open my memory vault completely...glad you are there to be an example.....makes me stronger....
  • whoisit4 said on Dec 18, 2006....
    Yeah, Paper, people do what they do for... whatever reason....

    Ok. Missed that train of thought. Try again...

    We all yearn for cognitive intimacy. We each want some legitimacy through the recognition of others of that with which we desire to identify. When someone "disconnects" it's a loss.

    [...Oh, Faith, I just want to get to know you better. Sigh.]

  • Mamie said on Dec 18, 2006....
    awwww, Paper, I don't really care if someone subscribes and then for whatever their reason, they leave. Don't worry about that! They don't even know you!! Have a great evening!!
  • yani said on Dec 18, 2006....
    I feel good whenever someone new subscribes to me but I don't mind if they unsubscribe after a time.

    What is important is I get to get some things out of my system when I blog.

    Is all!
  • copsunited said on Dec 19, 2006....
    I lived in France for over 4 years. My time there was really on the run but I learned to love the place if NOT the people. I was treated rather rudely many times by the Pariseannes themselves. I did learn marde at a very early time and used it with great effectivness. On line I have used the term
    "se torcher le cul avec " the paper it's printed on..se la commentary. Mas
    oui?
    Wow..45 years ago.too....
     
    I love Jenna to pieces by the way..

    In answer to your question, nothing could concern me less.  Just an FYI to contribute to your poll.
  • PAPERBACKWRITER said on Jan 01, 2007....
    Happy New Year y´all!!!

    I am here to fulfill promises I made....

    first to my Godfather....sorry it took so long =     (

    and to my subscribers and friends, whose comments I might have overlooked or failed to reply to due to lack of time while I was working, depression, and the holidays.

    Geez, this is going to be a looooong week.....well, I hate not keeping my promises...

    A Promise Is A Promise,

I feel so completely empty. I've been so depressed lately that I can't seem to remember when I became this way. What happened to me? I can't be happy anymore. I can't bring myself to do any of the things I used to like. All I want to do is sit around and...

What is the cure for a loss of appetite? Recently, I cannot seem to eat much food, nor do I have the desire to eat. I am not sure why exactly, but I have experienced this in the past and have no idea how I got back to eating....
