Since then, I have written three (3) letters to the buyers (mostly cousins, 120 letters) and received 2 responses.<BR/><BR/>Your maps are top notch.<BR/><BR/>Since DNA suggests that our most common ancestor lived about 3000 years ago, I'm truly a distant cousin.<BR/><BR/>My thinking is that persons visiting your Blog believe the Blog initiator is far more learned than they are, you might get some interesting response by asking for specific information which you have sought, but not found.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, Dick Stewart in Carefree, AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799124224672214005.post-56799113970404689552009-02-18T10:43:00.000-07:002009-02-18T10:43:00.000-07:00We still love you grandpa... even if we don't alwa...We still love you grandpa... even if we don't always comment on your blog.

I'm not a Stewart but a fellow Third Street explorer. Have you tried the HP sauce, which is one of the best UK's invention.

I think I might actually be ready to move on from my PC computer to a MAC computer (OH!,the horror of it all!)!! At any rate if I-I-I-I.....can get it...there is no excuse for anyone else! I am not OF the faithful to the all powerful computer of OZ...I mean I am just too old to appreciate how well I could have lived in that realm as well as REAL(?) life if I had just been born about 20 years later! I really love what you are doing!<BR/><BR/>Why? Well let me think on that just a minute...Who am I? Am I spirit or am I matter? Ah...I think I am both! I am sorry that I must be a 1/2 wit 'cause I must be stuck on just 1/2 of the equation! I can only see one answer. Here is how I come to this simple conclusion: I have a body of millions of multifunctional cells. I find it amazing that every single cell in my body has the same HISTORICAL markers...Oh, I'm sorry I should have said something like "genes"! Well in one sense or another I contain the sum total of ALL OF MY ANCESTERS...a-n-d...you also get everything from cousin ape down to something with a scaly skin...e-e-e-k! to something gelatinous floating around in the water! I know reptilian and fish-like drives for survival...I have an inkling about what chimpanzees are about...but I don't know what has driven my ancesters whose blood flows through my veins.....!!!<BR/><BR/>Here is my suggestion to ALL:Listen to The Bruce!<BR/><BR/>Oh, by the way what IS spirit and what IS matter?natureguysgardenetchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291802443580087504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799124224672214005.post-67447900856988595982009-02-17T16:53:00.000-07:002009-02-17T16:53:00.000-07:00OK, here's my first comment.

You attract more bees with honey than with vinegar.<BR/><BR/>Not everybody comments on blog entries - I should know, nobody ever comments on mine! Blogs are put out there for people to read, just like mini newspapers (when was the last time you wrote to the editor of your newspaper?). Just because somebody doesn't make a comment on a blog, it doesn't mean they don't find it interesting.<BR/><BR/>Remember not to make the posts too long - some people get bored easily. Better to leave your audience laughing than crying or, worse, booing. ;-)<BR/><BR/>So, you wanted comments. You may find that it could be a case of "be careful what you wish for!"<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822124403233385058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799124224672214005.post-46241887395847999932009-02-17T16:16:00.000-07:002009-02-17T16:16:00.000-07:00Reminds me of when I used to ride Goldie to the wa...Reminds me of when I used to ride Goldie to the water trough, but she would never take a drink. FYI, I know bloggers who have had sites up for years, sites that are actively used, but people are shy, not sure about how to comment, or just don't get the interactive concept.<BR/><BR/>Also, there is a weird thing on some of these blogspot.com blogs, in which the verification code doesn't come up. There are a few times I gave up in frustration because I couldn't get the blog to take my comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799124224672214005.post-75455057601408915222009-02-17T16:15:00.000-07:002009-02-17T16:15:00.000-07:00None of the links are working for me!!!
