Brilliante Premo Weblog Awards and Public Service Announcement
“Karen” over at “Art in the Garage” has given me this award. Horray!
Here are a few blogs that I read regularly.
Dear Ms. Mad,
Please define your terms. What do you mean by 'regularly'?
Yours irreverently,
The Word Police [USA branch affiliated but not necessarily condoning "Alaska"]
Well it's funny you should ask that actually. I think that in this context it means often or frequently. However, I should point out that since we are currently enjoying the Summer holiday, we're really down to 'random scrabbling in any available free nano seconds.'
I usually start off at the “HUB” where I read but don't necessarily comment, as they have huge brains over there and I see no need to display my stupidity publicly any more than is strictly necessary.
I can't read anything until I've brilloed the bifocals. I can't comment anywhere until my brain kicks in, my fingertips connect to my brain and my spell checker engages, otherwise I'm in danger of leaving something that looks like a txt msg, very messy.
Then I have two new favourites. I like to hang on around “Special Needs Mums.” I also hang up at “Green Mums,” especially if I’m feeling a little blue. Why? I have no idea why, unless it's just because they are easy to find now that my google reader has gone batty, a real strangle hold.
I do try and keep up to date with all the autism family blogs but they deliberately post randomly just to keep me guessing.
Everything else thereafter is a bit of a poop shute. [note casual use of American colloquialism.]
For future reference in case you wonder why foreigners blink or baulk when you say 'regularly' out loud and attach that word to any number of sentences for no particular reason that the rest of us can fathom……………
two thirds of the world's population use the word 'regularly' or 'regularity' with reference to 'plumbing' only, 'personal plumbing.'
Here are the “rules” of accepting the award. (Please note: you can copy and paste these rules from my blog to yours. )
1) Put the logo on your blog.
2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4) Add links to those blogs on yours.
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.
And the award(s) go to…
“Jocelyn” at “O Mighty Crisis.”
“Furiousball” over at “My Diatribe.”
“Franky” at “Frankily Yours.”
“Lime” at “House of Lime.”
“Mrs.G” at “Derfwad Manor.”
“Lou” over at “Louceel.”
“David” over at “David McMahon.”
“Linda” over at “Are we there Yet?”
Cheers dears

I’ve been having quite a time keeping up with all my favorite reads this summer, also. I think the summer just does that to us. Congrats on your perfect post awards!

oh Maddy, you are far from stupid! I have learned much from you and your brilliant words this summer…in fact, I read your posts aloud to the family and we have a good chuckle and a “well that very well could have been us” moment or two…especially the banana post and the showing of the Pokemon unders!

I guess “regularly” is up for interpretation
Lately “regularly” for me means every month. Ack! Summer is fun but busy!

I first encountered “regular” in such a meaning in an ad for Metamusil——I can always count on a leaving here light-hearted, or at least laughing.

thank you so much my friend!
August 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 am

I can only dream of such an award! Must keep blogging, must keep blogging……
August 2nd, 2008 at 7:29 am
That’s a pretty award! I am going to have to check out all of these sites you’ve listed this week as soon as this conference is over! I have been reading you daily even if I haven’t been commenting!

Why thank you, thank you very much! I am humbled and honored and delighted and all sorts of other adjectives that don’t readily come to mind as I’ve only had one cup of coffee this morning and it didn’t contain nearly the amount of caffeine I need to get me going!
We Americans (or is that Colonials?) have a bad habit of using dual meanings for so many words that I am sure it’s quite confusing to not only people of other lands but to our own children when they’re growing up and trying to learn the vocabulary! On behalf of my country, I most sincerely apologize for messing with your mind on a regular basis!
August 2nd, 2008 at 8:53 am
I’ll try to keep in mind the potential misreading of “regularly” when composing posts from now on!
August 3rd, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Oh, you make me happy.

I’d like to say thank you and it is an honour not just to be recognised by you but to be one of your readers.
Merci, madame, merci
