I hate my job because 75% of the trial...LOVE IT!!!<br /><br />I hate my job because 75% of the trials I write are oncology-related. And the numbers are never pretty (a successful drug might give you 6 more weeks). Having lost several family members to cancer, a life without numbers is a beautiful one :)<br /><br />But speaking of numbers, your brother and I do need to carefully read your latest publication... A step in the right direction, we did set up our IRAs today!

You were the first blog that I began to follow. MIL told me about you-I am a homeschooling mom of 3. When asked my profession, I would tell folks I was a stay at home not to be confused with a homemaker of domestic engineer, because I am not so good at the house stuff. Your blog has encouraged me with the house stuff and making my house a home not only for my kids but a welcoming place for all who enter. This is the place where memories are made. Thanks for the nudge!Oh Dearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433459690293830854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-19775332410512289602009-04-30T21:18:00.000-04:002009-04-30T21:18:00.000-04:00great post!

I work for an e-commerce solutions provider and manage a national sporting goods retailer website and see millions of visitors a week to their site, so looking at metrics is silly. But I still feel surprised that even 30 people really care about me and my little family's adventures. its special.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12367358414568474306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-11585806405093899772009-04-30T19:32:00.000-04:002009-04-30T19:32:00.000-04:00You are right on!!!!!!

Real life... the real, flesh and blood people in my home and life are so much more important! Am I giving them as much attention as I am my own blog??? I have really stepped back from blogging (both writing and reading) the last month or so because I wanted to let go of some selfishness!!! Thanks for being honest with us.<br />HeatherMore than Survivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391332999979380361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-19121171813231921872009-04-30T18:37:00.000-04:002009-04-30T18:37:00.000-04:00Mea culpa!

I have one of those things and I lamented at my poor traffic - all zeros, then I realized that it wasn't working properly because I had a number of comments. I don't even look anymore. I'm encouraged people stop by and I love reading their comments, but the numbers don't matter. It's not why I write.<br /><br />I love your blog and your new one, too!

Now that I'm back to blogging I do it for the writing, not for the "crowd". :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508025632249734480noreply@blogger.com
