Wayne, I was completely surprised by how seriously people took my little star decision. I meant it as an innocent way to show which blogs I read. That's all!

You just gave me two new names: Croggon and Funke. I'm off to the store.

Also, I FINALLY received The Door Within trilogy a few weeks! (Amazon really let me down on that one.) I've enjoyed it tremendously, though.

I especially was struck by how beautiful the books are. Wonderful covers. You must be proud.

Dude, is this like a sociology experiment or what? See how many Star folks comment versus unstarred. Hmmm... JK. Nice intro. Karen writes some top shelf fantasy. Fans of Tolkien, Croggon, Funke, and Lewis should find a home with her stories.

Mark, I'm snickering here! Too funny, yet true. I (pathetic sop that I am) get the greatest elation to see my link on someone's favorite. *grin*

Oh, I get a star NOW? Sorry. Too much too late.

:^P

Maybe I should give you a gray dot, huh, Mr. Wemmick?

ROFL

I'm laughing. (But I was laughing before.) I knew you didn't mean it as an insult, but everyone's comments showed me that this is a much much touchier subject than I realized.

Isn't it amazing how much we want to have other people hear us and tell us that what we say is valuable?

Oops! No ouch, no ouch... I didn't mean for that to be accusatory or reproving, it was supposed to be a light-hearted random connection my silly mind landed on.

You don't deserve dots at all. Sorry to confuse anyone. Please forgive me. (insert handshake or man-hug)

Okay folks, nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

er, Don't stare, but continue to comment as it relates to the rest of the post and comment thread, I mean.

Ouch, Craver! I didn't mean it that way. I was just trying to help people sort out that big list.

You know, it's so tough to balance our real need to evaluate the people around us with our need to not judge others.

Ok, ok. I admit I'm a jerk! Everyone just give me dots. I deserve them all!

(For those of you who don't know, the Wemmicks are a society of makebelieve wooden people who give stars to the Wemmicks they like and dots to the Wemmicks they don't. But when the Wemmicks develop a relationship with their Creator, they discover that the stars and dots don't stick anymore.)

Rebecca G. Hey, you earn a star in my book. Great blog you've got.

Eve, of course you get a star, I know you! That was the whole point.

Tina, ditto. Great blog. You are special, of course!

Chrisd. You are special too, I just didn't know your blog. But I'm headed over there a little later since you commented.

Thanks for all of the comments! Who would have guessed such a silly little comment would have garnered more response than the post itself?

Great links! And awww, no star? Stop on by! I don't bite ... hard enough to draw blood ... usually.
