Lurkers = friends in hiding!

Welcome to Love our Lurkers Day!! Thank you to Bonnie for helping us organizes. Everyone is always welcomed here, I want everyone to feel free to read here whether you choose to comment or not but I would LOVE for you to leave a comment! I spend way too much time on the computer. Sometimes I think – enough, stop already! Because I know I will never really be able to taper off I guess I will either blog or stop. It’s an addiction and it will have to be cold turkey if I should someday decide to stop. But I have no plans to stop now. Talking to you all is my therapy, my relaxation, and my connection to friends.

Most of us got here the same way – we typed spanking into the computer and waited to see what came up. I was lucky that it brought me to a safe, sane place with people like me who enjoyed spanking as a way to bring closeness and communication to my marriage. I read, lurked, a long time before I ever commented. I didn’t think I had anything to add. I had not come out to Nick yet so I wasn’t being spanked. But finally I just couldn’t stand being on the outside looking in any longer. I knew these were my people, people that understood this strange desire I had hidden all my life. I just had to talk with them. Now I think back to all I would have missed in my life if I had stayed quiet. I would have missed the best friends I have ever had and I would have missed becoming the person I am today. And most of the time I really like who I am. I am pretty sure Nick likes her too!

And while I am talking to lurkers mostly I have one piece of advice to new bloggers too. When someone does take the time to comment, try to respond to them. I still lurk many places when I comment a time or two and the blogger does not respond I usually stop commenting. I keep reading but I assume they are not interested in a back and forth conversation. And that’s okay I know both commenting and answering comments takes time. But if you do comment here I will try my best to respond. I love the back and forth!

And while I am here asking you to please just say hello – feel free to go ahead and write a spanking story for Fantasy Friday, you know you want to! Okay, okay I’ll back off but please just say hello! You can email too elisspeaks@yahoo.com

Have a great day!!

LOVE OUR LURKERS!!

For all of you that might be here looking for Fantasy Friday please click here! I put it up a day early because of an even more special event!!! But please go and read it and vote!! I will reveal Monday!

What a special day today is!! Today, thanks to Bonnie for giving us this opportunity, we get to pay special attention to our silent readers. Lurkers may sound like a negative connotation to some but not here. I can’t imagine one person who has a blog that did not start out as a lurker at sometime. That’s the way I started – I lurked at Bonnie’s MBS and Cassie’s Space first but I just couldn’t keep quiet! These wonderful women were talking about my deepest, hidden desires and I had to jump into the conversation!!! And at first I did it totally anonymously. I really liked that part.

One thing that kept me from saying much was that I though all these people out here knew each other so well I didn’t want to intrude. All I can say to that is - please come and play!!

We are all just a bunch of kids on a cyber playground and on this playground we really like newcomers!!! But here we can talk about our love for spanking, our desire for our guys to be dominant, to discuss the conflicting ideas and emotions that go with this particular desire. And swirling through all that we also discuss our kids, our jobs, laundry, the weather, our health, and the million of other things that friends talk about every day!

I won’t be around as much this weekend because my best friend, who I met right here when I left my first comment on her blog, is coming hundreds of miles with her husband to visit with Nick and me! I lucked out by commenting on Eva’s sight so long ago so I can fully attest to the fact that there are great people to meet here. (And in case you are wondering, no there is no spanking or swapping or anything along those lines during these visits! We do not hesitate to discuss spanking in our conversations – but show and tell is not part of it for us! LOL!)

And I do have to apologize for one thing I said on our Love out Lurker Day last year. Last year I said we were all just normal folks out here, by saying that I inadvertently insulted Grace from A Day in the Life. So let me just say now Grace is FAR from normal!! Strange is her middle name!! Trust me on this. There Grace is that better?

So come on folks even if you know you are not ready to start commenting daily I hope you will leave one today just to let me know you are around.
