Fact is, though I may have only commented on less than a handful of occasions, I really enjoy your blog regularly. I'm a fellow enthusiast of all things mid-20th Century, so I mostly read the blogs devoted to that glorious era. I came to your blog originally via a link on Kevin Kidney's site, but I soon added the link to my own blog so I could easily follow your Roadside America exploits. <br /><br />Unfortunately, all of we bloggers do seem to let our beloved blogs slide after a time. In my case, I haven't posted any new entries since acknowledging the birthday of the late, great Al Martino back in October. But I still do intend to get back to posting someday, despite the momentum having been lost. Ideally, I think that all of us who share the same basic ideals and tastes in pop culture need to form a collective and support each other in order to maintain interest in blogging. I suspect many of us (including myself, admittedly) have gotten lazy due to the phenomenon of Facebook, yet the fleetingness of social network posts really pales in comparison to a well thought out blog entry. <br /><br />So please keep on posting your fun articles on "Wacky Tacky", Tiny, ol' pal. Many of us out here take great comfort from them! Cheers! :)Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-34506960758430407272015-01-26T20:31:37.899-08:002015-01-26T20:31:37.899-08:00Thank you, Karen!

It feels like you are giving a best man speech or delivering a eulogy...but it's for your blog. It's always awkward and I totally 100% can relate. I love your blog and wish their was more men that would be willing to be open and share on the internet. And I totally agree...I think blogging has similarly made me ok with my weird. The more I let the weird parts show the more I hear "ME TOO!" and then I don't feel so alone. Over the years, you have been one of those people saying ME TOO! I appreciate that. I'm thankful for having met you via the internet world, because you share with me things that I didn't know I needed in my life. I feel like I have shared that damn Bunny House post with a dozen people over the years.

It is a weird thing because I do love having a record of great moments in my life just for myself, but I really do write wacky tacky to create a discussion and encourage people to find the fun wherever they are.

I understand feeling frustrated with it, because I feel that way myself. It's kind of a "what if you wrote a blog and nobody read it?" moment, except it happens more often than I care to admit.

I have noticed that my weekly news feed of blogs has definitely lessened (including mine however I'm using the lame excuse that I'm still getting settled into a new state and marriage. I do have some fun blogs planned for this coming Spring and Summer. There are several hidden gems here in Oregon to share!) and I'm not sure about this weakened state as well. Your blogs however by no means fall into this category. I look forward to reading your blogs and hope you will continue to provide such provocative and at times intimate takes on past and present wacky sub-culture. They are definitely a great way to archive the past which seems to be slipping further and further away. Keep up the good work friend and congratulations!Sweetie Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875552725113423088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-64469203197383863312015-01-18T20:26:04.186-08:002015-01-18T20:26:04.186-08:00I hear ya, doll.

I especially like your posts when you alter garments (or add pom poms). <br /><br />I have been blogging for a number of years and the one weird aspect about the medium is that it feels like you are hollering down a tunnel and not getting back an answer, not even an echo. <br /><br />I love reading blogs - that is my morning routine with my coffee. I mourn the many, many blogs that have just simply died away and others that pull the plug for one reason or another. <br /><br />Happy Blogoversary - from one of your loyal readers.
