I have not been responding to many comments. My life is kind of upside down right now. Lots of stress and family stuff going on. I feel bad when I don't respond to comments on my hubs but want all of you to know I appreciate you as friends and fans.
I also appreciate when you leave me comments and want you to know it's not a lack of caring.
I've been kid of bummed because I haven't even been able to sit down and write anything worthwhile lately. It seems I'm going through a block right now. I have very little privacy lately and it's really really getting to me.
On the upside, I had my best adsense check ever this month so I want to encourage all of you to keep writing, It really does pay off!! And I look forward to getting my "mojo" back...
I am missing it...
I'm sure you don't have to apologise for the rigors of life Dorsi and I'm sure everyone understands in this community. It's when no one leaves a comment that you should worry about things, I guess. Because you popped in today.. it gives newbies like me the opportunity to read your work AND TO Leave MORE Comments.
Dorsi...just get calm, cool, and collected. Take a moment to gather your thoughts and start walking through the tasks at hand to give you the free time to write.
And...I'm always "hear" for you.
In Lightspeed,
lxxy
We understand Dorsi, don't worry? Just like your sweet name,Dorsi you are a sweet person and nobody would mind it. Congrats!! On getting another payout.
Btw I have seen some hubbers write technical hubs but other hubbers don't seem to be interested in visiting those hubs. Also since I have a conversation style of writing would technical articles in folksy style appeal to the audience. Anyway I am planning to experiment with one technical hub and see the response.
Don't worry about that Dorsi, just get yourself sorted and I hope you are feeling a lot better now. Congrats on the cheque and take a hug !
Dorsi, thank you for commenting on my hub! What a nice post you have here! Sorry about the lack of privacy, I know how that goes. Anyway, thanks for the post and the lovely comment on my hub.
Hoping your Mojo finds you soon....Take your time, rewind...we'll be waiting for you!
You don't have to apologize. Glad you posted though...I've missed you
I'll share some of my mojo, plenty enough for me. hope it will help
Dorsi, all of us understand as at some point each and everyone has a writing block. We still love you and understand I hope that everything gets better.
Thinking of you through this time...write about it, it will help My thoughts are with you.
No need to appologise, life throws us all sorts of challanges and family must come first. I do hope you manage to get your mojo back, and i'm sure it will when things have calmed down.
Congrats on the payout, I look forward to reading more of your hubs when your back Hope everything sorts itself out soon.
thanks for letting us know ..... we are missing you come back to us soon...............
Dorsi, you're in my thoughts, I hope all will come together and be more peaceful for you. I, too, am going thru turmoil not necessarily of my making, but it caught me.
Life is painful for some people with the economic struggles. Then, that causes other things to happen and misery loves company, which means it normally hangs around for awhile.
I bet you'll be back stronger than ever. Don't even think about writing, and if you do, start in the middle. The beginning will show up somewhere in the writing, I've been there many times and that's the best cure. Just start talking with your fingers, you can cut and paste later, or not. Middle is ok with me!! ) Stay strong.
Hi Dorsi, I wish more power to you! You can reply to everyone at one time or not at all, we know and love you, so nobody will want to do other than wish you the very best. You are an individual who is much loved.
Thanks everybody. I'm feeling the love and I really needed the encouragement right now.
Bless you all.
Hang in there..everyone has their bad days and sometimes it can be a difficult cross to bear. You will be back soon and Hubpages and your fans will still be there waiting for you.
I am sure no one cares about a few comments being missed out on here and there.The people are important.
O come on buddy things will be fine. Just do not worry about us, we will always love you whether or not you reply to our comments. Just hang in there and things will be fine!
Thanks but I am trying so hard to get my "integrity" back and it bothers me that I can't respond the way I want too. After closing our business last year it was a big blow and I always prided myself on my integrity and not answering comments is bothering me right now. I seem to be balancing way too many things and somehow I need to get some focus back.
I remember you speaking about your problem in one of your Hubs. You said there how you lost your job (but got one soon after), your son getting shot in head and how he recovered back and in all these mess your cat got pregnant too (no sarcasm). I remember all these and I also remember how everything was brought in place. As per the information you have shared with us I am very sure you are a very strong woman and would not let things get on top of you.
I can understand how one can get affected if his/her integrity is compromised. But in my very personally opinion, I don't think not replying to our comments will hamper it in anyway. You are what you are and will always be. You are one of the best ones here, trust me. Don't believe me! Ok then write a Hub and put a poll. You will get the answer! 15 months of your hard work in your 112 odd Hub cannot vanish just because you could not reply to our comments and that too because you had bigger problems to deal. Family always stands first (at least for me).
We are all common people here and everyone has some problem or the other and we all understand that. If you could not reply because there were more important things to fix and when you come back to explain this I am very sure each and everyone of us will understand it simply because if it can happen to you, it can happen to me or to anyone. We all are very good bunch of people here, that includes you too!
So just go ahead and fix your bigger problems first. Your integrity will stand firm as it was before. I would suggest you to take one step at a time. Prioritize your problem and take them head-on one at a time.
Keep cool and everything will be fine and do not worry about Hubbers, we will always be there! Lastly please do not apologies, you have done no wrong to do that!

I just wanted to pop in and say a big thank you to everyone on hubpages. The community, the staffers, and everyone else! (Of course I guess it's just those two that read the forums but you know what I mean.)I started from scratch and read everything I could on the most successful...

On New Year's Day I acquired my 500th follower. In addition to this, I hope to reach another milestone within the next two weeks - the 500,000th visit to my hubs in 4 years. As far as page visits is concerned my goal now is to double this and reach a million views in the next 2 years. But although...

I honestly can't believe it. But I've checked my spreadsheet half a dozen times. Yes, I just hit the $1,000 threshold for November. (There could be an Amazon return or two tommorrow which will ruin the fun, but for now I'm enjoying the digits.)I'm only running, Amazon, Ebay, and Adsense on hubs...

I just finished working on another hub, and I was kind of shocked to look up and see that my score had gone up from 94 to 98 in just one day! I have been as high as 97 before, but getting to a perfect 100 would really make me happy. I have also upped my hubs to 11. And, my new hubs are getting...
