Huckleberries Online

MamaJD: Huckleberries Provided Access to Adults

Full post here

... Bottom line -- the blog I have been commenting on (Huckleberries Online) has provided a relationship that I crave --- contact with other adults on current topics that require intelligent commentary. I was feverish at first. Checking and re-checking every 15 minutes at times for ANY opportunity to provide my opinion. This blog, that wasn't mine, would be so much better now that I am participating! Right? Who knew a stay-at-home mom could be SOOOOOO insightful? Well -- within four days, I was asked which planet I lived on. I was accused of being someone else -- someone I do not hold in high regard. I believe I had some witty moments that were balanced out by perhaps some kooky ones as well. The great thing is that for the first time, perhaps in my life, I provided MY opinions without regard to getting kudos and accolades from others I was trying to impress. I then began to wonder who the other commenters were. It could be the guy behind me at the local coffee shop -- MamaJD
.

DFO: Put you hands together for the newest member of the North Idaho Blogosphere: MamaJD. Yeah, she's been with us for awhile as a commenter. Now, she's taken the step to become a blogger. The link above will lead you to her blog site.

Question: How many of you commenters/blurkers have met someone behind the pseudonyms at HBO? And was that a good experience?
