Gotta love Maxine!
She tells it like it is!
I think I need to learn how to have a martini every now and then!
In September of 2010, my blog friend TK Richardson and I got together and started "Comment Like Crazy," a weekly blog feature. We had the best of intentions but I don't think either one of us got very far with it. I know I didn't! (You can read all about it HERE)
I'm not announcing any new attempt at this, just the fact that this weekend, February 18 and 19, I will spend LOTS of time reading and commenting on as many blogs as I can. We all have important and/or entertaining things to say, and pictures to post, and they deserve as much attention as they can get! I can't promise a long and drawn out comment, but I'll do my best!☺
** Speaking of comments, I'm sure you've all noticed by now the horrendous new verification baloney that Blogger has us doing! Ridiculous! They don't even give anyone a choice..Therefore, I have elected to do away with my verification feature. I have my Comment Setting scheduled for me to check on, and give the okay to, any comments on posts that are older than seven days. That way I will most likely see any spam or inappropriate comments before they are displayed.**
* I'll also be back on Sunday, with my Nostalgic Sunday post. *

Maxine is always a riot. And I am relating to her more and more these days...

Yes, I find myself identifying with Maxine and it is disturbing.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky....Funny post. Enjoyed it. Hope all is well. Take care and have a terrific Friday. Susan
ReplyDeleteMaxine is hilarious. I think her saggy boobs will forever be in my brain reminding me to raise my hands. Your post is funny.
ReplyDeleteMaxine is a gem and, like mybabyjohn/Delores I find that I am channeliing her a little too often for comfort. Other people's comfort.
ReplyDeleteI love Maxine! Moxie galore!
ReplyDeleteGetting to read all the blogs we want is a real chore if you have any list of things needing to be done like laundry,groceries, cooking, sweeping,writing, and...... :)
Love Maxine! And yes, that verification thing...horrible. I just, no lie, tried NINE times to comment on someone's blog. I guess I must be a computer... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a bulletin: I am MAXINE! And I was here(obediently following the above instruction). That's my obedience quotient for today. Yes, Bookie, It's all about the Moxie.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite noble...and impossible...to Read many blogs, but sometimes, I make an effort to just devote a morning, or a sleepless night to same. I understand I have a lot of readers.....who are keeping their secret from me. Why in heck don't they drop a line?
I can't stand word verification, and the new set-up is even more of a pain than the old one. Little did I realize, though, that my movie blog was set up with word verification. I had no idea of that. Must've been a default setting, because I have never used it on any of my blogs (and I've been blogging since 2006). Thankfully, a friend complained about it today because of the new word verification. That alerted me to the fact that my blog was requiring that. I immediately went in and changed it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
Patti
Maxine reminds me of my mom, except mom doesn't drink martinis, lol or anything stronger than coffee.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the new verification system either. It is what they use on blogs hosted elsewhere I've noticed. I can barely make out the letters and numbers most of the time.
The guy who writes Maxine has women down pat! I love those cartoons, heck, I am some of those cartoons. Come see us tomorrow. Details on my blog.
ReplyDeleteLove Maxine! Friday is always a good night for a martini. Why don't you start tonight? I think I will. ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Karen
Ha. Maxine's quotes left me smiling.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend. May you have much to comment.
Love Maxine! When I worked I had one of the daily calendars and it was sometimes the highlight of my day!
ReplyDeleteI hate the new verification. I don't have any verification on my blog and I almost never ever get Spam. hugs, Linda
Personally, I think that's a smart move eliminating the verification step. I've had mine off ever since Blooger re-did their spam prevention, and I haven't had a single issue.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! :)
Maxine has hutzpah! I think she and my mom were cousins!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun post!
Thanks for popping in over at my place! I've never seen those cartoons before - they're brill!
ReplyDeleteCatch you soon and enjoy your blog strolling!

I need to get back to better reading! And commenting when I read -- sometimes you just go so fast (or sneak it in on the office computer!) you get out before the comment! I'll do better, too!
ReplyDeleteMaxine is a hoot!
