Hey,
I hope you are doing fine.
It might look weird, me writing you a message all of a sudden.
Not long time back you started following my blog and it meant the world to me that someone liked my work. : )
So a very big thank you for that.
I am moving this blog to a new place.
“purple-amythyst.blogspot.com”
It would mean a lot if you would show the same support that you did some time back to my blog.
Thank you.
Have a great day. ^-^
🙂
Thank you for following my blog 🙂 I look forward to reading more of yours.

Hey Kerri, good to hear from you, warm regards DC
From my realm… thanks for following not one but two of my blogs!! I do hope I can on the odd occasion keep you amused for a few of your busy minutes!
From a creative point of view… here’s an idea… WordPress has an UP arrow… why don’t you add a DOWN button to this very popular page!! It’s most needed!! 😉
You are most welcome, lovely to hear from you and thanks for following my blog:)
I’ll have a look and see if that’s possible, I think URLs can have a #end, but will have to check.
I did limit the number of comments per page, but that hurt my SEO, so I put them all back again !
Warm regards
DC

Hey john good to hear from you and you are welcome of course … keep in touch, warm regards Don Charisma
Hi Don, Thanks so much for following my blog. I already DO follow you from my other blog with a pseudonym but if I tell you, well, don’t know what will happen to you! Needless to say we share a few amazing likes for great bloggers especially aopinionatedman and more. I just learned something here too, this fancy smile 😎 😉
Wow all sounds very clandestine … isn’t wordpress fun ! good to hear from you I do chop and change blogs I’m following from time to time and do my best to follow blogs that are following me … sunglasses look cool, 😉 😎
What fun to have people go back and read “old” posts! I love those two. . . .namaste. . .
🙂 didn’t think of reblogging until today … thought you might enjoy some new visitors … warm regards DOn Charisma
Wow….they for sure have come already. Fingers getting tired, my friend….thanks!
No probs, takes the pressure of me a little today, have lot of photos to edit, 90 done already ! Cheers DC
Have you read Ferel Dogs? Maybe you would like that one, too. YOu sent me all the animal lovers an O M followers….great! Again many thanks!
You’re welcome, sharing is caring is a bit cliche, but it’ll have to do 🙂
Cliches are cliches because they are true! 😎
That reminds me of the one about rumours, “It’s only a rumour if it’s true” …
😎
How do you do the sunglasses smiley ?
I do a 8 then – then ). Actually I didn’t know it was a sunglasses smiley….how do you do the regular smiley?
LMAO … it’s a : then ) for normal one or : then D for a beaming smiley … thanks for sunglasses 😎
🙂 😀 Bravo!
😉 🙂 🙂 😦 😀 😎 howzat?
wow, you are so talented! 😎
I do my best 🙂
Just notified that this was my best ever days. I had 73 likes and last one, which I don’t remember was 72! All this is because of your gracious gift to me! Merci!
You’re welcome … and it’s partly down to you having a cool blog in the first place 🙂
Well, the only thing I can credit for all the traffic I have been having is your recommendation. I have no idea what you said, but I have been very busy. I had several very touching and transparent conversations that have really blessed my heart. Thanks again, my friend. Let me know if I can return the favor, anytime!
🙂 that’s the way I roll Annet, and happy to help friends. I reblog things that are congruent with my blog and I like personally. If you want to help then share my stuff in the same way, if you see something you think is congruent with you and your blog then share it with your readers or facebook or twitter or wherever. But at the end of the day, just happy to have friends around me. That’s the community thing that I talked about on Harsh Reality, my intro post – https://doncharisma.org/2013/11/10/harsh-reality-hello-from-don-charisma/
warm regards DC
Hey Don Charisma! Thanks for checking out Sisterhood Sticky Notes – great to get interesting visitors 🙂 Good luck with your blogging project!
Hey there, thanks for dropping in on my blog and you are most welcome … do keep in touch, warm regards Don Charisma
Don, I’d like to say thank you for the follow. I’m trying to figure out how you came to find my blog, The time that you followed was after the WordPress time reset, and I don’t see any links, views or referrers during that time period. I’m still new to the whole computer game and am probably missing something simple. I’ve seen you comment on other blogs before and thought I’d check you out. I’ve worked in retail for a predominant part of my life, and though I’ve heard of “ABC” before, I didn’t realize that I was doing it all along until I just read your post on ABP. Very clever, and I will be reading it again if not over and over. I know I have some questions I’m sure you could help me with, but I’ll save that until I’m more organized as to not waste your time. My main concern is my anonymity, which I have figured out by now that by commenting I have already pulled back the curtain so to speak. Anyhow, I’m impressed with your style and it’s nice to make your acquaintance.
Cheers
I come across new blogs often in the reader, looking at keywords that are of interest to me. Good blogs and good people tend to stand out a mile off, I’m sure you’ll know this from days in retail, a-holes aren’t that difficult to spot when one’s dealing with a lot of people day in day out.
ABP is my adaptation of the ABC which I saw in a movie, and I keep forgetting the name of said movie, it’s 70s I think …
As for anonymity, I think you are making the right decisions, only reveal what you feel comfortable with. Public comments can be read by anyone, so best to write them with that in mind.
Great to make your aquiantance too. I am always happy to help if I can, we could chat on email if you find that more “private” or you can always leave a question here in a comment. What you have to remember is there are probably thousands of people who may have similar things they are trying to figure out, and asking the question that then goes into a post would help other people.
Do keep in touch,
Warm regards
Don Charisma
