As I've just state...The very least I could do. <br />As I've just stated on Fb, <br />I am going back to my reciprocity policy, <br />you visit me, I visit you. <br />You'll see, unless they think of you as worthy of them, <br />that some will not respond to your comments, and even less visit your blog. Again, unless you fall into their graces. <br />Good luck to you!! SS can be a fun experience. Just don't let "those" spoil it for you. <br />:)~ <br />BRUNO aka TICKLEBEARBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-50699837028486492182013-02-16T04:08:25.460+10:002013-02-16T04:08:25.460+10:00Dear Ticklebear - thank you for your kind comment ...Dear Ticklebear - thank you for your kind comment and warm welcome to the group!Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-50730904720401933522013-02-16T04:07:45.802+10:002013-02-16T04:07:45.802+10:00Thanks Little Nell - it is interesting - as soon a...Thanks Little Nell - it is interesting - as soon as I switched off word verification I started to get spam comments but at least I can delete them.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-14681165753982594062013-02-16T01:15:07.073+10:002013-02-16T01:15:07.073+10:00Well done Alex, but it's not just me :) Let me...Well done Alex, but it's not just me :) Let me know if there are problems arising from it. On second thoughts, talk to your new friend in the SS Facebook group.<br /><br />Second tip: when you add your URL to Mr Linky try to make it post-specific, i.e. copy and paste the entire URL (including your post title). This makes it easier for late commenters to find you without scrolling back through your most recent (non SS) posts. I did the same when I first started and people were too polite to point it out. It was ages before I realised! If you want to contact me you can e-mail me. It's rare that I check back on contributors' original posts once I've commented as there are too many others to see.<br />Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-63761199533654370502013-02-15T11:50:12.519+10:002013-02-15T11:50:12.519+10:00Personally,

I went skiing once in the Snowy Mountains for a week and loved getting back to the lodge and taking off all the wet clothes and warming up by the fire. I was amazed how I could eat a Mars Bar when I was skiing and not feel sick. Normally I am flat out eating half a Mars bar - if that.
