Then I lost one. Oh yes, you're doing it again, reading my mind. Unbelievable I thought. Someone has unfollowed me!
That hurt. That cut me to the quick! I withdrew into myself. Booked myself in for some counselling. Never spoke to a soul for two whole days! Didn't eat. Hardly slept.
Unfollowed! What a horrid word.
One night in the pit of despair, I overly comforted myself from the whiskey bottle. Was arrested for drunk and disorderly.
Next day in court, I explained to the Magistrate that I had been unfollowed. She said if that ever happened to her, she would probably get drunk too. She threw the case out of court! With a word to the prosecutor about his lack of feelings.
About a week later, whilst cleaning my shotgun, I took a look at my list of followers. Oh, dear, dear reader, let joy be unconfined! I had a new follower. I was back to 55.
I'm, (come on, sing along with me) H. A. P. P. Y, I'm, H. A. P. P. Y, I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm, H. A. P. P. Y.
What's wrong, don't you know the tune?
I lost a follower last week. Can't even think who it was. It's a strange feeling.
ReplyDeleteWhat I can't figure out is why the whole block of followers can't be seen anymore, on mine or any of my friends' blogs. Must be a Blogger problem. Although I have 71 followers, truly only 5 stop by faithfully. Maybe I better start drinking too.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel! and i only have 51 subscribers! The court story was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteBlogger seems to change it's mind every time I go to my blog. I did lose one at one time but gained a lot more since. Some people probably go through who they have subscribed to and cull a few every now and again.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind getting drunk and disorderly on that bottle either! I'm a rum and scotch (neat)drinker myself. Maybe one day I'll have to tell some of my stories when I was 'pubbing it'.....might make you quite jealous! hehe! Maa
I'm going to have you reaching for the bottle again now. If you look through your followers, it tells you you have 55, yet there's only 53 showing, and the last page actually states that you have 53. It's the same with mine, I don't know where the discrepancy lies.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't know the song you are singing but I do know the despair of losing a follower, and more than once I might add
ReplyDeleteTake it easy. You loose some you gain some. Actually I dare not look at the numbers of follower for fear I might find some missing hahahah. Now a days I tread my blog like a diary, just me pouring out all that had been coop up in me and a few recipes in case I forgot how to cook certain dish. Happy blogging to you. I truly enjoy reading your post but just don't have time to visit on a daily basis. Keep it up so that I have something to read on my next visit.
ReplyDeleteYou should be so lucky and so happy! What I would give to lift myself from my poor performance of 13. I suppose I should be grateful to have you amongst the throng of devoted followers. Especially a man who can claim such fame and notoriety. A gentleman of the highest order! I think I'll stop there!
ReplyDeleteI'm humming it now.
ReplyDeleteDid you not hear me singing harmony? Perhaps I blended so well that you thought you were doing it all yourself.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll throw any spare readers your way that I can, but I can't make them grab the ring
