For me it's a way of say...I understand Marian. <br />For me it's a way of saying to my friends:<br />"Hey! I'm still thinking about you, our friendship is solid and will last forever because we know a part of our lives that many people don't understand.<br />I like your work and that's the way I'm saying it to you."<br />I have already put the award without sending to others.<br />We are working hard on these blogs!<br />Just a way to exchange love.<br />That's how I see these awards and I believe that most people do for the same reason.<br />It's not mandatory!<br />Every person feels differently.<br />Love,<br />AnaAnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889189418315180865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-62544029515473548102009-01-11T11:38:00.000+01:002009-01-11T11:38:00.000+01:00Susan: I'm glad you didn't choke anyway!!! :DMark:...Susan: I'm glad you didn't choke anyway!!! :D<BR/><BR/>Mark: I think I saw that movie once. At least the plot seemed familiar when I wiki'ed it. You have a point there. <BR/><BR/>To start with, I thought, I'd accept the award, just because I know, that you don't just toss an award at someone without reason. The more I tried, the more - also physically (!) - impossible it got. My inability to cope with recognition.<BR/><BR/>Gianna: You're not a hypocrite! You did make it clear, that you won't give awards. So, no one can say, they didn't know. And you deserve all the awards, you've got and will get.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273435151682585281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-25575443910042394572008-12-26T23:21:00.000+01:002008-12-26T23:21:00.000+01:00Marian!!I don't know how the hell I've been missin...Marian!!<BR/>I don't know how the hell I've been missing these posts..<BR/><BR/>anyway,<BR/>I'm a hypocrite because I take the awards and post them at the bottom of my side bar, but I do not give awards...for much the same reasons you mention...<BR/><BR/>I simply can't in good conscious give awards. I'm always tickled when I get one though so I accept...I always wonder if people think that's shitty? <BR/><BR/>whatever...I suppose the awards may stop coming since I don't participate..<BR/><BR/>I participated the very first time I got one because it was about a month into the blogging game for me and I didn't understand them and I was frankly flattered....<BR/><BR/>one other time when someone I felt deserved acknowledgment awarded me one I said I received it and spoke of the person who gave it...<BR/><BR/>in all other instances I've simply posted the award in my side bar...<BR/><BR/>oh excepting my hometown award...I went with that full on because I wanted to meet people in my home town who read me and that was a success...I met some really nice people who live here whom I would never have known...<BR/><BR/>so I guess I have a "when it suits me" policy, though in general the whole thing makes me uncomfortable as well!!<BR/><BR/>ha!Monica Cassanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969938853749704756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-83875985782458803662008-12-25T19:46:00.000+01:002008-12-25T19:46:00.000+01:00There is no problem in not accepting the award.Yes...There is no problem in not accepting the award.<BR/>Yes all awards tend to be chain/pyramid in type, with the "send this to 5 other people" condition.<BR/><BR/>If you look at anything too deeply it might be egoistic. You know the movie "its a wonderful life"?<BR/>You could make the arguement the George Baily character was selfless to make friends.<BR/>So therefore his actions were all planned to benifit himself in the future.<BR/><BR/>Anyways the award was to say I appreciate your speaking your opinion with this non-mainstream blog.Mark p.s.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10529811159862096782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-47371395536214639032008-12-23T18:29:00.000+01:002008-12-23T18:29:00.000+01:00I just posted and it went blank.Anyway- I am laugh...I just posted and it went blank.<BR/><BR/>Anyway- I am laughing so hard on your video I almost choked on my lunch....<BR/><BR/>Have a great holiday- what ever it is, or just a day off to snooze like cat.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>Susan and Hollythecatsusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474227548195593445noreply@blogger.com
