or, Here's another way of continuing the ADD theme ...
According to one of my sources, it's not uncommon for people with ADD to get in the habit of 'bucking the trend' or getting a reputation for always doing stuff the way other people aren't.
So here I bring to you National Delurking Day Plus One: the day all you folks that aren't just bellwethers responding to the same tired old Delurking calls on the so-called 'appropriate' day, come here to my wildly different blog to do your wild thing and delurk!
And it's not just that I didn't find out about the delurking meme until late in the day and I was tired and if you haven't noticed there's some stuff going on around here and fine, if you don't want to leave a comment, ye lurker, then just wait until it's International Talk Like A Pirate Day again and wait for me to mention that a day late as well!
I know I'm not making much sense, but ultimately what I'm trying to say is this: I do look at my stats, when I have time to, and I notice that unless everyone who comments checks my blog about twenty times a day, there are lots of people who read this blog all the time and I have not the slightest idea who you are or why you come here (though, thank you, and I'm happy that you like it ... or, I guess, I am happy that you are obsessively compelled to read it even though you hate it ... I think ...) So, even though I'm late and feel sheepish and behind-hand, would you please do me the honor of leaving a comment?
Thank you dear up-until-the-upcoming-moment-anonymous readers. Love, Jill
please allow me to be one of your readers who de-lurks for today. I stumbled upon your blog via a link from Oliva Drab (I think?) and now have a crazy routine of checking a whole bunch of blogs in a row (it's a complex system of remembering who has links to everyone else) and it usually starts with one of the great woman writers who are on your blogodesses list. I enjoy your straight to the point posts. Thanks for writing. (and for letting me read along).

All right, I'll fess up. I have been checking for about a week now.
ADHD runs rampant here at Chez Weenie, so I thought I would read about your um, stuff.

I don't comment nearly as much as I read. Happy De-Lurking Day.

Yes, I lurk. My doctor recently decided that I'm ADD (but very much not the H), only a month after I told him I'm ADD. Anyway, I'll probably go back to lurkdom. I like it there.

Hello, my name is thisgirl and I am a habitual lurker. Actually I've been delurking all over the place lately. I'll try to comment more often, I enjoy your blog.

I just get called, 'random', and that's fine by me. Love your thoughts, the way you express them and share them. Happy day after de-lurking day, a day late.

Hi from Germany! Who am I? Canadian, wife, mother, perpetual student and the world's lurkiest lurker. I really enjoy your blog.

We come looking for internet porn- Mindy told us there were naked pics. I swear I am only responsible for 2 clicks a day, okay 3, maybe 8.

Hi. I'm a prodigious lurker hereabouts. Love your blog!

Ahoy matey, shiver me timbers! I come for the humor. But now that I know about the pirate porn, you won't be able to get rid of me. Am I extrapolating too much?

I usually visit via some of the infertility blogs and just started one myself. So, hello!

De-luking for a day. I like your site, but rarely have a comment. Keep writing, and you have my sympathy for your recent diagnosis.
