Friday Flash 55.....



Some people blog to be funny
Some people blog for support
Some only blog for the money
Some blogs are all about sports
Blogs are started for various reasons
For politics, sex, or romance
Some people write, some people fight
Some  blog without wearing  pants
(Don't be so shocked, it could be laundry day!!!)


I started blogging on a whim, now here I am SEVEN years later.
If you or anyone you know is whimsical or has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!!
So from the most pantless host from coast to coast....
Have a Kick Ass Week-End

    I started blogging out of curiosity, then out of fun learning & writing poetry ~ People blog for all kinds of reasons but from you, I am learning it should be fun (& pantless?!) ~ Happy Friday G-man ~

    everyday amazing: looking out from my (business class) seat

    Just keep that webcam off, big guy. I love the rhyming and of course, the sartorial sparseness of your blog-sistential 55.

    I'm playin--and I really tried hard to be slightly comprehensible, but if not, you can always just listen to the music:

    Now I'm wondering if you're wearing pants.

    I have no idea why I blog...I just like to hear myself type, maybe????

    DO you blog without pants, G?

    I thought I'd replace my daily journaling with blogging. Didn't work out that way but I'm glad I blog. I'm totally addicted.

    Glad to be here again.

    I've been blogging for seven years also!
    My first post was August 13, 2006.

    Pants were not always worn.

    (Made you look!)

    Thanks for another Friday 55!
    Mine's here. :)

    Note to turtlememoir (and anyone else who tried mary's link):
    It works if you take the quotation marks off the end.

    I was the same, Galen. Started on a whim...and that was in April of 2008. I guess we're blogaholics offically now. :)

    You blog to show off your intelligent wit - at least that's why I assume you blog.

    I started sketching and drawing. Then wanted my own photos to draw from as one can get into trouble using other's images. Then I found Magpie Tales and thought I'll try one poem (it is still one of my favorites that I wrote - go figure).

    Then one thing led to another... but I've always kept my pants on :)

    I don't mind the bloggers without pants. It's the ones without underwear that freak me out a bit.

    But perhaps it's just their...Custom

    OH Good Lord! Every day must be laundry day round here but clothes only get washed when I am commando.

    Oddly enough I forgot it was Friday until I read Talons 55 then I felt obligated to follow her lead.

    Wow Galen! That is amazing. I started blogging to sell my little books - but I don't usually tout my books, and I don't know how to post their pictures on the side of the blog so no one knows of them anyway and now I'm blogging and don't have time to write books!

    At any rate, I love your blog - but as Hedge says, maybe better not post on laundry day! k.

    I've been blogging for years and years. Started to document the growing season in my garden, then transitioned to cookery, and then writing.

    Ah! Happy Anniversary of your wonderful blog! Keep going seven-plus-seven-plus-seven.....

    I started blogging to get back to writing. Hadn't written a poem for over 15 years, and, thanks to you and other fine prompts, new ones came.
