Aloha,
Here’s the premise:
On November 16, list one to three bloggers you really miss and one to three bloggers you would miss if they stopped blogging. Then go leave a comment on those blogs.
Our blogger friends are special – time to let them know!
As a simple guy, not given to outburstings of emotional
posts or cries, (kids, leave the bleedin' poor butterfly/dog/mailman/stranger alone!!!) I am going to keep this simple:
Daina Rustin over at Mystic Treehouse (Daina was the
one of the first Bloggers to follow me who was NOT a friend or family member –
and I will always appreciate her “followship” :)
Saran Pearson over at Empty White Pages (Sarah and I
shared many a funny comment “back in the early days” and I miss her humor and
insight.)
Rachael Harrie over at Rach Writes… (Rach is still
around, but has taken a break from her Writer’s
Platform-Building Campaign.
(I don’t blame her one little bit, because she gives her heart and
soul to each of her Campaigns and does so out a selfless desire to pay it
forward.)
(Put it to you this way, if no-hyperlink-needed Alex ever
had a Blogging Sister, her name would be Rachael Harrie.)
Oh, there is one person I would love
never to see again… am I allowed to say that?
This "kind" person sends me a LOT of wonderful links to
various websites, and while I don’t need a new Coach bag, a cheap
alternative to Cialis, (or any another colored pills,) this blogger keeps on
trying – ahhh, God love him.
I am, of course, talking about our mutual friend, A. Non Ymous (I
think he’s a Finn, or French, or he may be Flemish.)So, dear A. Non, if you’re out there, do feel free to stop emailing me – 'cos if you do, I promise to send you a can of Hawaii’s favorite foods:

WUSS!!!
Whatever.Ha! Ha! you’re going to be the star of the new movie: “WUSS in Boots.”
Ssshhhh now.
You’re such a Wuss that yo Mamma helps you fight out of a wet paper bag.
Can you just let me finish this, please?
Oh. OK. Sorry.
Thanks.
(whispers……....... Wusssss!!!)
Anyway, I can’t write a list of who I’d miss, but you know
who you are – and I thank you for your continued friendship, wisdom and support.

Several people have mentioned Sarah, hope she's able to come back soon. And Rachael is awesome, loved being able to participate in her platform building campaign last Feb. And you're not a wuss, wet paper bags are tough I tell ya!
Visited from the blogfest. Love that added the spam guy. So funny. Wish I was a wuss too, but it's too late for me, my picks are out there. I am your newest follower.
Cheater!!! You and your can of spam.
I do miss Sarah. Said she was taking a break, but it's been a long time...
LOL! Have you noticed an increae in posts from ANONYMOUS as well? Mine happens to be a drug addict and major pimp. Have a great week-end!
Hi Mark .. great post and love the tin of spam - wretched putrid people - saddies!
You're right there are so many wonderful bloggers out selecting was difficult and I can see I've missed various out - what can a girl do?! Not a lot the post is published!!
I remember Sarah and Rach ...
Looking forward to the great reveal .. cheers for now Hilary
Sarah was top of my list, I was really starting to get to know her and I do miss her and hope she is okay!
Yes, Rachel Harrie, now why did I not add her name to my list! She is utterly awesome! The platform building campaign certainly did open doors for me!
Muh ah ah aha ah.
You think you can bribe me with Spam? I am French and would never degrade myself by eating that poor excuse of a food.
You send me a fresh baguette, some delectable stinky cheese, and some crème brulée, and then we'll talk.
I'll be in touch.
;)
Happy Spam Free Friday!
"and that Alex guy" <- ha!
I love your plea to A Non! Hopefully, he's such a devoted follower that he'll listen.
LOL!
You are TOO FUNNY, Mark.
And I remember Sarah! I had forgotten about her! Yes, she needs to come back--she had a GREAT blog.
Awww...what a sweet idea. I hope they all get to see this post!
Now I'm more curious about who you'd miss than the reveal on Monday. Darn it Mark!
Funny with the spam...lol
I know I couldn't do it, either...
Fun to read Mark :D
I miss Sarah too! I keep hoping she'll suddenly come back, but alas, she hasn't so far.
Have a great weekend, Mark!
No one wants the spam.
Yeah, the I would miss you list is an umanageable one - it would be too long if I listed them all.
Have a great weekend!
Now you see wussiness has a direct correlation to Spam eating. There's scientific proof.
I know I'd miss your blog, but I wouldn't miss any of the Spam stuff.
Aloha!
I think most of us would agree with your opinion of Anonymous. I wish this person or entity would find some more productive activity to engage in.

Tossing It Out
I'm a wuss too, although I did mention that needs-no-hyperlink guy.
A. Non. visits me quite frequently as well. Not that he gets past my first comment moderation. :)
Oh Sara! I miss her too! And I think I offended A. Non. because he never comes around... Oh no wait, I just blocked him from my blog. :)
Bahh on those A.Non. posters. Can't wait for your BIG fest.
FANTASTIC choices. Rach just flat out burned out, and I loved Sarah Pearson. I suspect the same with her...burnout.
I wouldn't miss SPAM either. Not in the least. I need to do a better job and promoting our blogfest, huh? I'll get on that as soon as I finish this hop. It's good to be back! :)
How funny you are. Great choices.
Oh, yeah, I miss Rach, too! An I get a lot of spam from A Non myself. Finally had to set my commenting restrictions to registered bloggers only this week. That did the trick!
These ladies are a blast from the past. I remember them well.
Funny that you didn't link to Alex. Because seriously, if you're a blogger, and you don't know who Alex is, you might as well just give up, because you're not doing it right.
Hey, Mark...
I thought of the same three people.... Funny, although I didn't list them... WHY? Maybe I'm a WUSS too!
BUT your WUSSINESS is okay for not mentioning who you'd miss.... EVERYONE!!!!!
Visiting from the blogfest and everyone is right, you ARE funny!
I am shocked that you cheated and didn't list your three!! haha
I listed way more than three, so I cheated too. ;)
Can't wait to see the big reveal on Monday. Sorry i haven't been around very often. I've been trying to do Nano. :)
(kinda failing on that front, but at least I love the new story idea I got from it)
Um, dude, I'll be here on Nov. 19 for the big reveal! I'll be racing to your blog with my heart racing to see the big SURPRISE! Bring it on Madman Mark!
Of course, expect me, to sign up because ah, oh yes, awesome folks hosting it! Count me in! :)
I like how you included their pictures! Empty White Pages is a great blog!
Sarah was on my list, too. It's sad that she isn't blogging anymore.
i thought of rach too, she is so great with the campaigns!
and you hawaiians and your spam!
Got the Spam + Hawaii trivial pursuit question tonight...and I got it right. Thank ya brother!
(I didn't list three would be misses wither, not that I am a wuss...I totally forget the rules as I write my blog posts in a hurry!)
Rach gave a lot to writers. I've been a member of her campaign a few times. She's awesome!
I'm seriously happy not to be getting any spam, and I'm equally thrilled to have 3 new bloggers to check out. You, my fine fellow, are too kewl.
Ha! I listed Rachael Harrie too AND I totally agree with Mr Anon. Give him spam! Love it.
don't be a wuss...just open up a can of whoop...spam? :0
So, I think this blogfest may have been the kick up the **** I needed.
Thank you Mark, you made my day x
It is so hard to keep up in the day to day blogging world with just the business of life. I'm struggling myself, but am thrilled to check out these bloggers.
Are you counter-spamming with spam? Ahhh...
Sarah was one of the first bloggers I connected with too. Glad to see she's commented just above me :-)
Your early followers are always dear to your heart. They believed before anyone else!
You are definitely one I would miss, Mark! You crack me up. Way to call out that annoying A.Non. That booger is so annoying.
I can't wait to see the big reveal. I MUST remember to go by Alex's blog tomorrow. Feel free to send me a reminder tomorrow. *wink*
Rachel Harrie definitely has a huge (and wonderful) presence in the blogosphere.
Can't wait until the big reveal!
I saw your mysterious blog thingy mentioned on Kyra's blog, so now I'm curious too. :)
Great post. Visited from the blogfest. Loved that you included the spammers! Mine comes from Vegas and some Bondman.
I miss Sarah, too.
Agree about Rachael. I don't know how she does it!
LOL - love the SPAM. My dad still eats that (sliced and fried) on a sandwich from time to time.
Wuss. :P
