If I Post It, Will They Comment?

I’ve noticed a recent trend in many blog posts lately- like this one, or this one, and perhaps even this one! I must say I have also surrendered to the same movement -guilty as charged! But, I have my reasons! The last time I dispatched one of these babies, I was eating copious amounts of turkey, gearing up for the holiday stretch, and teaching sunbeams to be thankful for their tongues. By the way, I’m very thankful for mine! I mean dentists may not concur, but my thirst (ha! ha! pun totally intended) for speaking, chewing, and tasting might substantiate a claim otherwise. Anyway, not much has changed, which is reason numero uno for my lack of posting.

Moving on to #2: My post to comment ratio is looking quite abysmal! I have averaged less than 1 comment per post in the last 6 months, that’s 0.66 comments per post to be exact; which is 2/3 if you’re talking fractions.

Reason #3: I calculate my comment to post ratio, and “talk fractions”, and kind of want to make a graph and PowerPoint presentation to compliment my fractions and their ratios.

Reason 4: Whilst making my graph I couldn’t decide what should be my independent and dependant variable. I mean, is posting directly proportional to the number of comments I receive, or is the reverse accurate? Does the number of posts depend directly on the number of comments? Or perhaps, it’s not so much the quantity of posts and comments, but the quality, substance, and hilarity of said measures. Or even yet, are the two variable unrelated entirely? Oh the complexities of the post to comment ratio persist!

Reason #5: After almost 4 years of serving in the primary the powers that be have seen fit to let me graduate into young women’s. Most of you would probably be relieved, but, the truth is I don’t really know how to relate to girls. Here’s why:
a) I grew up with 4 brothers
b) I live with a boy
c) I can relate to sunbeams (I teach high school- remember)
d) I have an extremely low tolerance for drama
All bets aside, I am really looking forward to working with the Beehives- all 3 of them! They can read, sit still for 45 min, and refer to me as “Sister Zamora” instead of “sisser ahh-mow-ah”.

Reason #6: It’s winter! How can I type when my hands are forever confined to these?

Not to be confused with the ever stylish and timeless smittens. Natalie, these babies can be yours for the low low price of a wedding date- just say the word!
Well, there you have it; so again, I solicit Confucius meets Shoeless Joe and implore, if I post it, will they comment? Only time will tell… and my graph…embedded in my PowerPoint presentation, complete with sound and graphics.
