Annual Note From The Blogger

I'm a little late with my annual TOP TEN - I've been sick!

The Biggest upset I had this year was being reported for a picture that a reader did not want on on this web site.  I never did find out what picture it was?  A link was provided - with many, many others that were to be modified - I never did find the one that was the one for this web site.  I feel bad - PLEASE - if you see a picture on here that is yours and you want it deleted PLEASE leave a comment and let me know which picture it is and I will delete it.  Or if you just want your name attached, please include that info and I will do what you ask!  It is MUCH faster than reported it!

Thanks for all your views, goggle shares, posting on facebook and any other way you share these awesome email forwards with others!

Once again, I would like to state that none of these forwards are mine . . . they are just forwards that I have received and posted on here.  Thanks!

From The Blogger - My First Formal Complaint

Well, I got my first "formal complaint" of content that needs to be removed.  You're provided a link that takes you to the complaint.  But there is no info!  None!  Lots and lots of complaints listed for others, but I cannot find the one for the link that was provided for me.

It is a post I made on October 1, 2012 titled "For Dog Lovers . . . ", which you can no longer view, cause it is blocked until I modify it.  They are waiting for me to edit it, to take off the offending picture.  I haven't a clue which one I am suppose to remove?  This is a really good post that has a few pictures, each one, I'm assuming, from a different source.  I'd like to remove the offending picture, but I haven't a clue which one is being asked to be removed.

Only one other time did someone complain about a picture that she had taken of a snowman that she claimed as hers.  She told me exactly which one it was and I removed it.  SOOOOOO much easier than making a formal complaint.  She told me (in the comment section), I removed it and done!

I understand that some people don't want their pictures on the computer and I will remove any pictures that you request me to.  Just make a comment - I read every one - and let me know which one to delete, or if you'd like recognition on your picture, I will post your name with the picture.  When I've received forwards with authors, I have always posted them.

PLEASE - LEAVE A COMMENT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.  IF SOMETHING IS YOURS, I WILL REMOVE OR LABEL ANYTHING THAT IS YOURS.

Thank you so very much!!

Annual Note From The Blogger

Year Three!!  Another year and it still amazes me how very many email forwards there are!!  With this post, that will be 794 posts!  And many, many  more to come!  I'm in big trouble if my computer crashes!!

I would like to mention at this time, that in the last year and a half, I was diagnosed with arthritis in my back and shoulders.  When I have a flare up, it is not possible to make posts.  So . . .

Two Year Anniversary - A Note From the Blogger

This is my two year anniversary!  I have enjoyed adding all these email forwards.  There are sooo many, sometimes is just boggles my mind!  I have gotten behind in my email forwards and currently have over 500 in my inbox right now!!  I have been trying to send out a few each week, so I don't overwhelm everyone's inbox!  Maybe I am spending tooo much time posting and not enough forwarding!

Maxine continues to be in the top three, but this is mostly left over from the first year, as she had such big hits then.  She still has a pretty good following, just not as much as the previous year.  Only four remain from last years top ten.

It has amazed me how the number one spot just sort of took off this year.  I posted this a year ago this month, but it has far surpassed any numbers and has become the number one post for the day, week, month and year.  Irena Sendler continues to be the overall number one post almost everyday!

Here are the top ten posts for the last two years, 
with their ranking from last year in parentheses:

No. 1    Irena Sendler - WWII Saver of Children 

No. 2   Calvin and Hobbes - Snowman Cartoons (2)

No. 3   Time For Maxine Again! (3)

No. 4   More Maxine on the Economy (1)

No. 5   Maxine on Christmas

No. 6    More Images of 9/11 and Video "BOATLIFT"

No. 7    Incredible Storm Pictures of Lighthouses

No. 8    Happy Thanksgiving (5)

No. 9    Computer Humor in Cartoons

No. 10  Circle of Friendship

With this post, I have made 427 posts
                          157 in 2011
                          228 in 2012
        and so far     42 in 2013

The most posts I've done in one month is 27

These presentations from powerpoint  are all very spectacular!!

A Note From The Blogger

Today marks the one year point that I started this "Email Forwards" blog.  I have enjoyed going over these old email forwards and have actually come back to see them again and sometimes, again!

By far, MAXINE has been the most popular post.

"More Maxine on the Economy" is THE most popular post of all time.
With "Time For Maxine Again" coming in second
and rounding out the top three with "Maxine - She says it like it is!!".
Maxine, by far, has been the top most popular posts ever . . . until . . .

"Calvin and Hobbes - Snowman Cartoons".  I only posted this one a little over 2 months ago and it has quickly moved to second place and catching up to first place everyday!  I am astounded as to how popular this cartoon is.  We do not have this cartoon in our paper and I am not familiar with Calvin and Hobbes. This is the only email forward I ever received of them, but I wish I had more . . .

First Place:        More Maxine on the Economy
Second Place:    Calvin and Hobbes - Snowman Cartoons
Third Place:       Time For Maxine Again!
Fourth Place:    Maxine - She says it like it is!!
Fifth place :        Happy Thanksgiving
Sixth place:        Have You Ever Been This Tired?!?
Seventh Place:   Garfield - That Rascal Cat!!
Eighth Place:     Happy Mother's Day
Ninth Place:      One Person Can Make a Difference
Tenth Place:      Incredible Ice Sculptures

Clearly, cartoons are a favorite and I do have a ton still to post.  I realize I have mostly concentrated on posting the stories and articles from my word files.  I am trying to remember to post some of the other stuff, too.

I have been most surprised that the VIDEOS have not been more popular.
Most are so funny and I just love them.

With this post, I have made 198 posts and I have about 64 different labels.
"People" currently has the most posts with 77.
"Funny" with 75 and
"Inspirational" with 42,
"Pictures" with 36 and
"Stories" with 33.

The most posts I've done in one month is 21.  Sorry . . . these stats are mostly for me!!!

I guess the one email forward I will never be able to post are the totally awesome power point presentations.  I have almost 100 of these and am sorry I cannot share them with you.

I hope you continue to enjoy these email forwards and share them with friends.
