Fairly new to this online writing community myself, but oh so grateful to have found it. It turns out that I really love writing, and the community that comes with writing and sharing via a blog. I was actually surprised at how many people actually read what I had posted, and chose to 'follow' me. I follow a gizallion blogs, and don't hesitate for a minute to hit follow when i stumble across someone interesting and relevant. I also don't hesitate to un-follow, especially if I am not reading what they have to say anymore or if it becomes un-relevant. No one has ever 'asked' me to follow them - that is weird.<br /><br />The relevancy I found on your blog was is that I too have TMJ problems. Since 10th grade. I would wake up in the morning and my jaw would be locked shut. Warm heat and pressure for 10-30 minutes would calm it down and leave me with a nasty pop, but at least i could open my mouth. I've seen a dozen different drs and dentists over the years, they always assure me that they can help, but their 'treatment' always makes the problem worse. I do clench my teeth at night, but the night guards make the locking so much more difficult to release. this past year has been really stressful and the locking has started up again. I worry that someday the joint will simply give out. Until then... se la vie. <br /><br />Wishing a happy and safe 4th!<br />-Foxyfoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482866425915180237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438948639743456166.post-53939078620582332742010-07-01T21:11:31.032-07:002010-07-01T21:11:31.032-07:00Interesting, and well written.

I like this post a lot, made me think. <br /><br />For me blog is self expression, and learning, and challenging myself, and that being said yes we all want people to read us. You know, experience the brilliance that is us... then that fades, and <br />you remember why you started the damn thing!<br /><br />Great post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883394577835241921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438948639743456166.post-72345742135532420752010-06-30T18:16:07.743-07:002010-06-30T18:16:07.743-07:00I am in the follow for follow camp--within reason....I am in the follow for follow camp--within reason. I won't follow you back if I don't like your blog. But following back really helps you out, and I want us all to succeed at what we do. Me and you. Too many "big" bloggers are stingy with their follows.

I don't mind if someone tells me in their comment that they are a new follower, as long as something in their comment is actually about their post and then I will go check them out.

I started this as a way to meet new people and maybe make a few new friends but casual and fun was top on my list. With the follow me posts I feel pressured and like it's a popularity contest which I avoided like the plague most of my life. <br /><br />I'm glad to be following friends with you and I support your decisions either way :0)Duchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587005779379138350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438948639743456166.post-11949679040767622542010-06-29T08:32:11.262-07:002010-06-29T08:32:11.262-07:00Thanks for stopping by!
