DOTTY’S PET BLOGS

 

I’ve made this page for YOU (yes, YOU) because I’m nice and kind like that and because it saves me having to bother with links to all your blogs that none of you can be bothered scrolling down to and clicking on anyway. Is it too much exercise for your index finger, that extra bit of scrolling, to find some other GOOD BLOGS TO READ?  I don’t have ANY SHITEY BLOGS ON MY LIST, all the blogs I follow are blogs that I like for one reason or another and you’d like them too IF YOU COULD BE ARSED TO VISIT THEM.

Also, I can’t keep up with doing links to all the blogs I like and I don’t want anyone to think I’m leaving them out because I’m not – well, I am, but not on purpose.

So to resolve it all I’ve nicked JUDITH’S IDEA for a page that you can add your own blog to. And because it’s a page that sits at the TOP OF THE BLOG finding each other’s blogs won’t involve any extra scrolling effort from YOUR BONE IDLE INDEX FINGER.

 

ONE RULE — IF YOU’RE JUST PASSING THROUGH AND THINK, ‘OH HERE’S SOMEWHERE I CAN ADVERTISE MY BLOG,’ — FUCK OFF BECAUSE I WON’T APPROVE YOUR COMMENT.

    Dear Dotty,
    This is the best idea of the day. Of course, it’s only 7:30am where I am.
    I don’t think anyone can just pass by your blog… When you fall on this page, you stay.
    Enough flattery.

    AWESOME idea! I might just have to steal it. After I finish my to do list of course.

    Thanks for following my blog. I always appreciate your insight into my troubled little life. One of these days I’ll have to see about making up a recipe for you that involves your beloved Cumberland sausages.

    much love,

    Thank you, and I hope your wait is not much longer. Perhaps he is already locked in.

  6. Dear Dotty,

    I must confess that this isn’t my original thought — it came from Neeks, at The Short and The Long of It. Neeks is also a LimebirdUK writer. Thanks, Neeks!

    My blog is http://diabeticredemption.com . I don’t write as much about diabetes as I planned originally; it is simply a part of every breath I breathe. Redemption, on the other hand — I am redeeming a half-century of a life of fear and anger. It’s working. It’s not as serious or heavy as this description implies. I have a Friends page, where I welcome followers to leave this kind of information, and URLs. And, as with Dotty, if you are just trying to put in a plug for your obscene, mean, unclean, or demeaning blog and you aren’t a follower, you won’t get in, you will get filed in spam, and then deleted forever! I have spoken.

    Other than that — Come over when you get a chance — a follower of Dotty’s is a…..I mean….a follower of Dotty’s is mental, and therefore welcome! 😎

      Dear Judith,

      My son is at risk of living with diabetes type I (his mother is juvenile diabetic). He’s been part of a study since his birth, and his AC1 results are pointing that way, at least that is what the docs are saying.

      I’ll go and check out your blog.

    I’ll be collected! I love collections. My rock collection was so much better than anyone else’s. I had a brain rock! oh it was awesome until my brother discovered ones like it and wanted to break mine open because he was certain it was a geode too…. Who cares, it’s a brain rock, who cares about your geo crap! Well anyway, collections are too much fun not to join. http://kzackuslheureux.wordpress.com

    Dear Dotty and all her wonderful pets:
    I would like to be a collected pet also. My blog is http://emeraldorange.com/ but about every other post is American Politics and Current Events so I understand if that makes all your other pets not want to check it out. Nevertheless, I’m checking out all your pets in my spare time and I’m just sure that this will improve my life in every way possible. Cheers for Dotty and all her followers (they clearly have impeccable taste). Thank you, Ms. Headbanger.

    What a wonderful idea this pet page is. Thank you in advance for publishing my comment. My pet topic of the week, month and year is dementia.

    • Dear frangipani,

      Don’t get me started on political correctness, I’ll pop my mental, nutty, loony head.

      Dementia = demented
      Mental illness = mental
      in the same way that arthritis = arthritic or diabetes = diabetic or amputated = amputee.

      What isn’t okay is to use derogatory terms to describe someone, but USING A TERM THAT RELATES TO AND ACCURATELY DESCRIBES WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PERSON IS NOT POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS, IT’S COMMON FUCKING SENSE.

      Sorry, the world’s gone daft.

    Dear Dotty,

    Pet me, pet me! Oh wait, that came out wrong.

    Well. Anyway. I would be honoured to be one of your pets. (I can even write in British-Canadian spellings and occasionally even use funny British words!) My blog is about being a smartypants nutter: http://disorderlychickadee.wordpress.com

    Also, please export some Cumberland sausages to the US. We Yanks don’t know what we’re missing. Most of the sausages here are “Italian” or “Polish” or “permanently attached”. My Scottish (American) husband does not approve of my eating any of those types of sausages, but I will not eat nasty, nasty haggis. This leaves us with a shortage of foods that are created by stuffing things into the internal organs of animals. Cumberland sausages are clearly the answer to our dietary needs.

  61. Dear Dotty,

    I developed some skills and changed my blog address from my actual name. Please send all the downtrodden and Borderlines and cat lovers and, wait, does my blog have any other qualities? – to ocelotbound.wordpress.com

    I bought an antique house, on national historic register, built in 1817 by the water in historic Salem, Massachusetts. It is witch city, but specifically they hung many women and a man and then proceeded to CRUSH another man (poor Giles) for not-really-being-witches. Many of our sidewalks were made of bricks.

    More importantly, the foundation of the house was built with bricks. And the 1st folks whose offer we accepted came with their I-know-fuck-all-about-antique-properties for the formal inspection and said the foundation was unsound. I told him to get the fuck out before the unstable lot collapsed on him and his imbecile clients and they could find a much less awesome property to buy. Preferably in Antarctica. Fuckers!

    OK, that’s Bricks, you’re now under formal obligation.

    With love,
    Magic

  71. Hi Dotty, thanks for this topic. Even though it is one hundred years old I will still invite you and any other cyber-archaeologists to stop by http://BlogDogIt.com/ for even more old yet interesting content. If you are persistent enough to find this this measly little comment then you are just the sort that will enjoy my style of blogwork. I suppose the time has come to take your advice to heart Dotty and in the words of my dear ol’ Mammy “Feck-Off”
    P.S. If this comment does not get approved I would still be honored to have you visit my site – proud displayer of the BigBlogCollectionButton since most of today’s new bloggers were in knee-britches and hoop-skirts.
