has started a love-fest by announcing that she will not be party to any link-cliques. Huzzah, huzzah.
I understand link-cliques. I do. There's only so much room in a sidebar- and if you belong to a whacko-boffo-rocking blog colony like Munuviana then half of it is already spoken for. Also? Sometimes long-haired freaky people* step on the grass AND link to you and then you ask yourself; must I link back?
Well, everyone must swing the way that fits them best. Some people prefer to keep their linking policy to themselves, but I'm not the shy and retiring type. So to be loud and clear, here:
Despite that "Marauding Marsupial" title from TTLB, 'Corporate Mommy' is just a little blog in a big kalaidescopic electronic pond. I write because to stop is to go bonkers, and not in a good way.
It is amazing to me that despite my little footprint, people think that I am worth visiting. And whoever you are, whatever your walk, if you take the time to link to me then you have honored me. And I thank you. And I will reciprocate.
*P.S. Personally, I dig long-haired freaky people. Just saying.
** P.P.S. If you HAVE linked to me and I haven't linked back, for heaven's sake - tell me! Thanks.
***P.P.P.S. My borderline Obsessive/Compulsive personality dictates that I mention that I reserve the right not to link to you if you are abusive, cruel, exploitative, or spam-for-profit.

It's okay that you don't link to me. Most days I definitely fall under "piece of crap." (hopefully without the biggoted part)

Fixed!
You are now officially linked. And you are NOT a piece of crap.
Everyone, visit RObyn. Tell her she's not a piece of crap!

I link to you...
but I'm a newbie, a freshman, a rookie etc etc. I totally understand I have not done my time yet in the blogosphere to be requesting linkage.

Oh, thanks for saying that. Today's probably not the best day to visit. I'm not funny or witty. I committed blog sin and did math for my mom. I had to prove to her that even though gas is high, it's not worth buying a new vehicle over. Everyone is like, whoa, too much math for me, freakazoid. Where's that baby? This is crap!

Interesting policy. I only link to people I want to visit on a regular basis. That includes you, of course.

I have a question on postscript 2 (**P.P.S.). How should the long haired freaky people let you know when they link to you? Cause...you know...they need not apply.
I can't believe I went there. I'm so ashamed.

*blush*
Get thee a blog again soon, please
And yes, long-haired freaky people should definitely take off their hat and reveal themselves.
Heavens, I went there too. But NO SHAME, man! No Shame in it at all!

And here I was just going to write you a thank you note for adding me to your blogroll (noticed it over the weekend) - now I can thank you publicly instead!

I link you, you link me, we're a happy family...
Actually, I do have you in my blogroll, but for some reason the link never works. I've taken it down and redone it, but still, nothing. Hmmm.
I guess I don't have a policy, really. I use my blogroll as the easy link list of blogs I visit regularly. That's it. If I don't read you, you aren't on the list. Easy!
Why do I have stars next to my name? Cause I'm extra special?!

A) I used to link everyone that even fleetingly thought about me.
B) I used to feel obligated to check these links everyday.
C) I used to feel stressed if I didn't check them.
D) I stopped checking them.
E) In fact, I stopped updating most of my links
F) I have removed many links of places I just don't visit anymore.
G) I've been thinking of removing my links and just making the whole list private. It's the guilt. It's always the guilt.
H) Dude. Way long comment.

I know - the GUILT! Why do we DO This to ourselves??
I give myself permission to scan through the entire list when I feel like it. There are those I read compulsively *cough* and those that wax and wane.
But linking also encourages new bloggers - I know that when you linked to me, I practically cried. It certainly gave me a boost to keep going!
Wait - NO GUILT attached to that. You know that right? This should be all about the love. And No guilt

Babe, you'll always be on my list.
Ooh-unless you wear black sneakers and encourage readers to drink special kool-aid while waiting for their spaceship.
We might have issues then.
But only then
