I also have very very very themed posts so it makes it easier (sort of). I even did a forth A to Z entirely on my own just for the hell of it, just to work out the best way to do it. And although in theory Sunday is the day off I tend to do something on Sundays also. <br /><br />I think the problem is folk expect so much of it and it does not always bring the masses of new followers and hits that people expect. Lets face it none of us are super human and can post everyday and still get round and comment on five hundred other blogs it is impossible. I think this then leads to a huge anticlimax and folk just get disheartened and give up blogging. <br /><br />I will still be here long after the A to Z as long as the real world does not throw anything nasty at me, such as floods, powers cuts, high winds, falling trees or aliens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

And also because this year if you complete the challenge this year you get your very own piece of plutonium instead of that miserable badge that doesn't do anybody any good, it's certainly not like you can build a bomb with a badge, I mean who ever heard of thermobadgualar weapons, that doesn't even make sense, and I'm pretty sure my brain won't melt this year, probably. flip mcflipersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075014395015492293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-32033267303572886582014-02-13T02:59:56.692+00:002014-02-13T02:59:56.692+00:00It soundz like a great time for a Great Britain va...It soundz like a great time for a Great Britain vacate shun. I desparately need a vacate shun. Parts of me think they are overly worked and parts of me are almost in agreement. I am currently waiting not for the chicken to cross the road to get to the other side, but instead I am waiting for chicken fajitas to travel 3.1 miles, traveling many streets, crossing intersections. I have even delayed Cooper's 9 PM Cheese alarm so that he eats his chicken first.
