Wow! What a ride, eh? This is my 1939th post on this site! Not too bad for someone with nothing to say. And you guys? You have been amazing! Over 20,000 comments!! That really warms my cockles! Wait a sec, let me go look up cockles.
waiting...
waiting...
Ok, I'm back. And yes, you guys really do warm my cockles! Thank you for being there for me. For playing along and for sharing your thoughts. You've been super!
I've been very lucky with this site of mine. Of all the comments that I've gotten, I have never been trolled. Remarkable, don't you think? I do. Everyone has always been very well-behaved and for that I again thank you.
But, as they say, all good things must come to an end and the same holds true for this site. The time has come for me to move on. Once I realized that it was becoming more of a hassle than a joy to keep up with, my course of action was easy to see. As I've said before, I never kept up this site because of an overwhelming need to write. I kept it up simply because it was fun. But I think I've run out of things to say and rather than bore you all to tears, I think I'll just let it go. Just thinking about that makes me feel lighter.
I'm still gonna be out there reading y'all's sites so keep on fighting the good fight. I'll be checking up on you from time to time. I love you all and thanks again. It was a blast!
Ciao!
Posted by Buzz at January 3, 2005 08:39 AM*sniffle* You're leaving us. Well then, *troll troll troll stalk* =) First and last troll and I get the honor of being it. *smirk* *hugs*
Posted by: Lauren at January 3, 2005 08:52 AMWHAT!
What?
hmpf! We'll miss you (and your Johnny Depp pictures)
wow. I just added you to my blogroll this very day and I already have to remove you? How messed up is that?
Posted by: ASB at January 3, 2005 09:01 AMIt was those last two pictures I sent you, right?
Damn! You're one of the only people who posts earlier in the morning than I do, and I'll miss pausing in my latest rant to read the peculiar bit of trivia you offered or ogle some cheesecake. Mmm... cheesecake!
Best wishes to you, Buzz!
Posted by: Eden at January 3, 2005 09:11 AMI'm sure gonna miss ya Buzz. Thanks for your fine company!
Posted by: Nanc' at January 3, 2005 09:14 AMhrumph.....ya gotta do what ya gotta do but you'll be missed.
Posted by: fran at January 3, 2005 09:24 AMNOOOOOO! Please don't leave! You can't!

Posted by: susan at January 3, 2005 09:36 AMWhat was that noise???
Oh, yeah, it was the sound of MY HEART BREAKING.
I'll still always love you the most. And I'm going to miss you.
A lot.
You better keep in touch, you ding dong philly fan!
I love you!!
Posted by: y at January 3, 2005 09:37 AMDarn. Sorry to hear you're moving on, but I do understand. I've enjoyed reading you for the short time I've found your site. And I suppose now will be a good time to read all your archives to see what I've missed. If you ever do decide to come back to writing though, I'm sure there will be plently of people who will be happy to see your return. Take care!
Posted by: groovebunny at January 3, 2005 09:50 AMStop lyin'!
Posted by: Angela Giles Klocke at January 3, 2005 09:52 AMThis is no way for me to start the new year, but I understand. I will miss reading and laughing with you. At least I can get a glimpse on you in the cafe every once in a while. Thanks for the fun, you're the best!
Posted by: pd at January 3, 2005 10:03 AMI have really come to enjoy reading you every morning, and believe me, I will miss it. I do hope that whatever you do you will enjoy it and be successful. I will always be a loyal fan.

Posted by: geeky at January 3, 2005 10:07 AMNo.
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
I'm going to live in denial until you return.
Posted by: Kathy Howe at January 3, 2005 10:08 AM*fighting back the tears*
Take care, Buzz~ you're the tops!
Posted by: Chelle at January 3, 2005 10:20 AMI click over to say I'll miss reading you and there's a photo of Mr. Fish and I in your random photos image. How bittersweet.
Geez, I'm glad you don't live that far away. I'd ask if you and Pat have plans this month, but I think I know the answer.
Posted by: mac at January 3, 2005 10:35 AMOh noes! April Fool's Day isn't for months!
Posted by: srah at January 3, 2005 10:41 AMIt was fun while it lasted.
Posted by: MIKE at January 3, 2005 10:46 AMOh no! Surely my eyes deceive me!! You better drop by occasionally!! We'll miss you!
Posted by: Chris at January 3, 2005 10:50 AM**SNIFF** NO!!!!!
Posted by: Pixie at January 3, 2005 10:55 AMHa ha! Victory is mine!! I knew you wouldn't be able to stop my evil plans forever, MISTER Buzz. And now that you are leaving there will be nothing standing in my way. You hear that? NOTHING! Mwahahahahahahaha!
Are you feeling guilty about leaving, yet?
No?
Rats. :(
Posted by: Solonor at January 3, 2005 10:58 AMGood luck in your future endeavors, I will look forward to seeing your pen on my site....
Posted by: Tom at January 3, 2005 11:12 AMI just started checking you out and now you're leaving?? Aw man!
I understand if you feel the need to hang up your hat but, well, shit.
If you change your mind after a short time away, I won't turn my back on you and call you fickle, I'd welcome you with open arms.
Posted by: Amy at January 3, 2005 11:19 AMAw, Buzz! Well, I'm sure going to miss my daily visit to your part of this little world.
Posted by: karmajenn at January 3, 2005 11:32 AMOn the one hand, I'll miss you so badly.
On the other hand, I give it a week. Max.
We love ya Buzz!
Posted by: ben at January 3, 2005 11:39 AMNo.
Unacceptable.
Who's going to post pictures of my Matt when I have a rough day?
Who's going to call me darlin'?
Where am I going to get my Buzz fix?
WHO is going to set the world straight on the differences between plummet and fall? We need that kind of information, man.
Nope. I won't let you go. I made a resolution to stop stalking people, but I am going to have to throw that one out the window now.
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!! :-(
(But you know I'll always love ya, my friend.)
Posted by: Jenn at January 3, 2005 11:40 AM*pout* What am I going to do without your site to read? You better stop and visit or I might be forced to try therapy again. *glare*
You will be missed, but I understand.
Posted by: Krush at January 3, 2005 11:40 AMNo! :( Sad to see you go, I'll miss you. *HUGS*
Posted by: Kirsi at January 3, 2005 12:13 PMOh, that figures. I just found you yesterday and added you to my blogroll. And I love it when I find fun new blogs. :::sigh::: This is quite disappointing.
Posted by: Kari at January 3, 2005 12:42 PMOh my goodness. Except of course it is not a goodness at all.
You are one of my first stops every single day and you are the reason I strive to be a better blogger.
However, I admire and also understand this move. I understand it more than I can express right here. You are a fine, fine, man Buzz and you have made such a wonderful impact on so many through this wonderful blog of yours.
You are going to be missed. However your blog will always be remembered by me (and countless others I am certain).
I do not wish to say good-bye and so I will not. You know how I feel about you...I always will feel that way about you. You are very speicial....and that is a compliment.
Hugs.
Posted by: Michele at January 3, 2005 01:19 PMSay it isn't so!!!!! You will be greatly missed. I've enjoyed your witty repartee. Your return would be welcome at any time.
Be blessed.
Posted by: Kim at January 3, 2005 01:47 PMI can't believe it. What am I going to read while I'm eating my lunch now?? Big Bummer! Maybe you'll be back after a few months or a year. See ya....when I turn my head to the left! hahahaha
Posted by: Woman at January 3, 2005 01:53 PMI feel your pain bro. I am almost at the same point my friend. Mine isn't so much not having things to say as it is not having the time to keep it up. The worst part is I have not read any other blogs in at least three months. It just isn't fair. I feel like you're a kindred spirit and I haven't been here until Jenn told me you were calling it quits. I wish you the best and hope that we can stay in touch.
Posted by: nefarious at January 3, 2005 02:10 PM*speechless*
Best wishes to you, my friend. And you better still come around, or I send the haggis fairy after you.
*tears up*
Posted by: judi at January 3, 2005 02:51 PMdude, sorry to see you go! enjoy extra time!
Posted by: kmsqrd at January 3, 2005 02:53 PMMichele sent me your way.
Are you going or are you staying?
I don't wanna start reading you to only find that you are going. That'd break my heart!
Posted by: Shannon at January 3, 2005 03:49 PMI hear you, I feel for you, I understand you. Completely. You will certainly be missed. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures you have posted. Most of all, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences in this blog.
Wishing you all the best!!!
Posted by: Cecilia at January 3, 2005 04:01 PMI came by from Michele's (as I have before).
I know you will be very missed from the many positive comments I've heard about you and your blog. I hope you'll still hang out at Michele's as a reader/commenter though :) . . .maybe after a few weeks of rest you'll want to come back to the blogosphere.
Posted by: Anita at January 3, 2005 04:09 PMI came by from Michele's (as I have before).

Posted by: Busy Mom at January 3, 2005 04:14 PMI'm another relative newcomer who will miss you.
Guess I can console myself for awhile by going back and reading your archives.
And there's always the Empress! (I did run by her site and make sure there was no resignation letter there, too.)
Posted by: Cat at January 3, 2005 04:21 PMMy mentor-- my captain! I'll always have a cup at the round table filled to the top with your favorite beverage. Whenever you decide you get the itch to say something, you will always be welcome in my kingdom for a post or two.
I will always look to the Buzz when inspiration is needed. Thank you my friend. Please keep in contact with those of us you have touched. I know for certain my life has been richer on account of you. Thank you!
Jim
Posted by: Genuine at January 3, 2005 04:48 PMBuzz, I been reading you for a long time, and you never bored anyone!
I'm sorry that I have not been here much, it's because my blogroll has got so big that it takes me days before I could visit everyone, and sometimes I miss a few of my blog friends on my blogroll by mistake, and it's not on purpose.
I wish you stay with us, or take a nice break and come back, because like everyone, me and my hamster Duckie will miss you, and your pictures of Sandra Bullock, who ever she is, but we will be waiting for your return!
I wish you and your wife a Happy New Year!
Posted by: Rockchild at January 3, 2005 05:01 PMBuzz, My plans were to pay off your mortgage, but now that your leaving I will have to reconsider. If you change your mind let me know.
Love Sandra
Posted by: Sandra Bullock at January 3, 2005 05:42 PMOh no...I just found you and you're leaving??? Do you have any idea what this is going to do to my already-fragile self-esteem?
Posted by: Denise at January 3, 2005 05:49 PMit's because the Genuine/Buzz ticket failed, isn't it...
not much more i can add -- everyone before me has already expressed what i feel. i too have been doing this a long time now (over four years) and i've nearly quit several times. i know the feeling when you think that you've said everything there is to be said. but you know what, that well never dries up. as soon as you turn you back you'll think of something new -- it always happens.
so just take a break for a few weeks and then if you feel inspired, maybe go back to once a week or something? and while you're on break, you can find new cheesecake pictures! i never did understand how you could find so many quality pics. :)
Posted by: P at January 3, 2005 05:53 PMWell Buzz I just found you and now you're going.. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do...Take care It was enjoyable
Posted by: MZM at January 3, 2005 06:48 PMBuzzy, Buzz, BUZZ! I respect and understand your decision to leave us all without a father figure here in Blogdom, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.
But, ultimately, it's YOUR happiness that matters most and I know you'll be just that -- happy. :o)
Never mind that the Internet has to suddenly shut down because of all the tears being cried in Blogdom -- a flood, if you will -- because you're leaving us.
Thanks for all the great belly laughs and the fabulous eye candy. I'll definitely miss you and your wit when I make my blog rounds.
Posted by: ironic1 at January 3, 2005 06:56 PMim sorry to see you guys go, its been fun...
Posted by: Alicia at January 3, 2005 07:23 PMMark me up there with the new fans...and now we are losing you! I've enjoyed reading you! Good luck!
Posted by: angie at January 3, 2005 07:29 PMA little tribute at Genuine just for you buddy!!!
Posted by: Genuine at January 3, 2005 07:50 PMok, this just brought tears to my eyes Buzz. And it's not that time for me to get emotional :( *sniff* I'll keep thinking about you esp. when I post hot indian women's pics on my site. I'm glad I got to know you. *hugs* *HUGS* *HUGS*
Posted by: Meeta at January 3, 2005 07:53 PMI don't know what to say that hasn't been already been said. But, there is something to be said for going out on top, and you are most certainly doing that. Thanks for the laughs and for some interesting inspirations along the way.
Posted by: Raych at January 3, 2005 07:54 PMI'm a total newbie in relation to "Buzzstuff" and the bloggers who have written their acolades above. I wish you well, and hope someday I can boast half as many posts.
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back...
I'll miss you, man. You are always one of the first hits on my blogroll in the mornings, and you always brighten my day.
Posted by: amber at January 3, 2005 08:46 PMI haven't commented in a log time but it doesn't mean I haven't been here. I've been reading your blog almost as long as I've been blogging and reading blogs at all. I am truly sorry to see you go, you're such a great guy, you have such great spirit and you're always fun to read. I'll miss you, Buzz, as will so many folks. Do me a favor, keep me on the list of folks you'll notify if you decide to come back, okay? (((HUGS)))
Posted by: chasmyn at January 3, 2005 08:50 PMWell....that really sucks poodle. Thanks for making me laugh. Your blog was one of the first blogs that made me realize there was more out there. Have fun and let us know how you are doing from time to time.
Posted by: Nicole at January 3, 2005 09:06 PMIf I had a hat, it would be off in your honor. I may not comment here often, but I read every single day. I will miss you. When I think of a "BIG-Blog" your name is written all over that place on top of the mountain. You make us all climb higher. You always send smiles out and brighten every One of us. Thank-YOU for being! I/"we" am/are richer! BE WELL I hope your New Year is full, healthy and happy.
Posted by: Sallie at January 3, 2005 09:36 PMWow, Buzz, I am a farily new reader.. and I love you and your blog !! You will be missed.
I wish you the best !! *HUGS*
Posted by: Dawn at January 3, 2005 10:26 PMGo Slow Buzz. You picked a good time starting off a new year and all.
Nevertheless it's a drag 2cu go.
All the best.
Curator
Posted by: Curator at January 3, 2005 10:34 PMHuh? What? This can't be right. Are you sure? Maybe all you need is a long vacation?
Posted by: lucy at January 3, 2005 10:45 PMI admire you for your fortitude in bowing out now. That takes courage, and is a lesson to us all. You will be missed.
Posted by: Carmi at January 3, 2005 10:51 PMWHAT?????NO! I'm so in a huff now!
Alright then go. You will be missed.
It's all my fault isn't it? You're mad because I drank all your beer and scotch when you were sick. I'm sorry.
I'll miss you and your scotch.......mostly the scotch.
Posted by: Lee at January 4, 2005 12:02 AMunacceptable. come back now. this is a joke, right?
Posted by: melina at January 4, 2005 12:11 AMaaaah. Well I'm keeping you on my blogroll just the same.
:(
Posted by: Ammie at January 4, 2005 12:56 AMawwww damn. I'm so sorry to hear you go, but certainly understand the feeling. Take care, and you'd better not forget all of us. *big big hugs*
Posted by: etherian at January 4, 2005 01:08 AMBuzz, you cannot or will not be replaced.
No matter how sincere or GENUINE the attempt, it just won't happen.
EVER.
Posted by: Sven at January 4, 2005 01:18 AMYou have been a pure pleasure to know and read, Buzz. You will be missed. Just know that if the urge to write ever hits you again, we will be here, waiting with open arms.
Posted by: Michelle at January 4, 2005 01:27 AMIt's been great reading your blog Buzz, even though it was only for a short period of time. Best of luck in everything!
Posted by: Toni at January 4, 2005 03:13 AMG'Day Buzz, I have been reading a few blogs today and I am amazed at the amount of "bloggers" that have posted that you are leaving "Blog Land", I just had to swing by and wish you all the best in whatever lies ahead for you. It is so, so very obvious that you have a lot of friends that have beed drawn to you. I would just like to say, "all the best, heath and happiness always"
Posted by: vegemiterules at January 4, 2005 05:18 AMdamnit, I disappear for a few days and look what happens!
Posted by: Jeff A at January 4, 2005 05:30 AMWe'll miss you Buzz - you definitely brought a certain "je ne sais what" to the blog-o-sphere. Maybe you'll at least stop in with something to say once in a while?
Or maybe you could become the Internet's best-known Blog Commentor Who Doesn't Actually Blog. That would be an interesting role, non?
You will be TRULY missed. Thanks for the ride..
Posted by: debby at January 4, 2005 07:00 AMThanks for everything, Buzz!!! You will be sorely missed :-( :-( *HUGS*
Posted by: Karen at January 4, 2005 07:26 AMBye, Buzz. We'll miss you. I'd like to honor you in a special way, but there's no hockey right now. So consider this a raincheck:
GO FLYERS!!!
Posted by: Kevin at January 4, 2005 07:36 AM2005 doesn't look so promising anymore. :(
Posted by: MJ at January 4, 2005 07:51 AMI am very sad.... You are one of the very few people that just makes everyone smile, does not complain, and seems like a ball of fun! Hope to still hear from you :)
Posted by: Dell at January 4, 2005 07:55 AMWow...I'm the 84th person to comment on your retirement, Buzz. I think that really says something about the quality of your site. It's safe to say that we're all sad to see you go.
BUT...I wish you nothing but the best. Enjoy your newfound free time!
Posted by: Joe at January 4, 2005 08:37 AMWell Happy New Year anyway. (sniff, sniff) I've really enjoyed your site, but as you say it should be fun. Good luck!!
Posted by: Anji at January 4, 2005 08:41 AMFunny, I was thinking of doing the same thing yesterday. I think I'll ponder it more. But you seem to have some very wonderfully loyal readers. Congrats on bringing so many people joy. Take care, and all the best in 2005.
Posted by: alektra at January 4, 2005 10:11 AMWhere are you moving on-?
I hope you will come back ...
You know I love your site even if I don't understand your American joke . I did understand some jokes before thought that made me laugh, and I felt better after that.
I am sure I will love it even if you post only a line.
Happy New Year & hope you have a nice day!
Posted by: Demi at January 4, 2005 10:12 AMOh sure, just as I start to read your site regularly, you go and do this. ;)
Sorry to see you go, I enjoyed reading you, but I understand, you do what you gotta do.
Posted by: huy at January 4, 2005 10:29 AMI'd say I'd hold my breath until you reconsider, but a blue faced, fat chick dead on the floor of the library would be bad. *Sniff* Best of Luck!
Posted by: cindy at January 4, 2005 10:32 AMBuzz, I am a hardened lurker, but I have so enjoyed your blog. I hope you are able to find something you enjoy as much as you did blogging .
Posted by: Sheryl at January 4, 2005 10:35 AMAwhhh, Buzz m'dear - you are such a joy and I will miss you. Truly.
Thank you for all the smiles and thoughts....and just for being you.
**Hugss**
Posted by: Vickie at January 4, 2005 10:38 AM:::::::Sniff::::::: This is my very first visit :-( and you've left the building.
Posted by: Anna at January 4, 2005 10:49 AM~nothing but the best to you, I hope the future will find you prosperous, healthy and a bit wiser...take care~
Posted by: btezra at January 4, 2005 10:50 AM~ with a tear in my eye I stand and appluad you~
Though I wasn't a regular commentor I was a regular reader though I regret that recently that faded as I became to busy to keep up. May the road ahead bring joys and abundance and thanks for the joy ride with the Buzz!
Posted by: Wyllow at January 4, 2005 11:10 AMPOOP--POOPETY POOP POOP POOP!
That was for me.
For you, I know that whatever it is that you will put all of your immeasurable talents into next will generate just as much goodwill as your blog has.
Bye....
Well Buzzie, the first thing I thought of when I read this was something a wise young man named Christopher used to say "Get the PIG ! !"
The second thing was "Screw TIME magazine - they blew it again ! !" My understanding is that for their Man of the Year award, there were two finalists - some clown named "Dubbya" and "The Blogger" (and I'm being serious here). I know you're disappointed that they picked "Dubbya", but that's no reason to quit, damnit !
I mean, did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?? NO !!
At least promise that you'll guest-blog on the Empress's site every twice-in-a-while. Or help her with her posts titles - she's having some trouble lately. Thanks, Buddy
Posted by: Willie's Buddy Jimmy at January 4, 2005 01:14 PMJust as I stumbled across this great blog. Figures.
Take care!
Posted by: Rebecca at January 4, 2005 01:48 PMBuy Buzz.....it's been fun! I am so glad that we are friends so you can still make me laugh!!
Posted by: Beanne at January 4, 2005 01:50 PMI will truly miss reading your blog everday at work while I eat my lunch. However, I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to experience your wit and fun self every day in person! I do feel sad for those who only know you in the blog world because you are such a great guy, great friend and so gosh darn freakin' funny! I'm soooooooo happy you'll still be a part of my day!!! Love ya! xoxoxo
Posted by: cjh at January 4, 2005 01:58 PMBuuuuuuuzzz!!! I will miss you and the happy warm feelings I would get when you would email replies to my comments left here. You, sir, were a damn fine blogger... You entertained me daily. I am sorry you feel you need to stop.

Fine! No narcissa access for joo! :P
Posted by: katherine at January 4, 2005 05:01 PMGood luck, Buzz. Sorry to see you fading out, but you're right, if the hassle outweighs the joy.
Posted by: Greg at January 4, 2005 05:31 PMYou're leaving a big hole in the blogosphere Buzzy boy... I will miss you. Be good (or whatever) and make sure you take care, OK?
Posted by: zeno at January 4, 2005 05:43 PMI wish you the best of luck in every thing you do!

Posted by: Philip at January 4, 2005 10:32 PMThat'll teach me to take a brief blogging hiatus. I'm gone, what, three days?...and quickly check in, just to discover this. Buzz. You will be missed. Best wishes in all things Real Life. And I keep the same hope in my heart for you that I do for Dave Barry: that you will one day return to us. Cheers, Buzz.
Posted by: Mellie Helen at January 5, 2005 01:35 AMHope life brings you good things! I shall now read your archives..because I've been too lazy to read em before now. See Ya around.

Hello, my name is Lou. I am 6 years old. I am blind from birth, and
profoundly different in my head...
One year ago, my daddy decided to create a webblog to share with people the slightly crazy experience of my discovery of life. Now, after a great success in french (I'm french speaking), this blog start to be translated in english progressively, but it's very difficult to let it discover to the english web community.
So, if you are curious, let come visit my blog and if you like it, refer it.
Thank you.
Regards.
Lou (through daddy's words)

*sniffs* fine then.
Just kiddin', good luck with the future, but we'll miss you!!!

Posted by: Jenny at January 5, 2005 10:11 AMHi, my name is Liz and I’m a recovering lurkaholic and dork.
I am sorry that I haven't said this before, but, "I love your blog."
Come visit my January 5th post and be a part of De-Lurking Day!
Oh Buzz, I'm going to miss you dreadfully. I'm sure I'll get over it pretty quickly, but there's going to be a few hours at least where I'm totally despondent over your loss.
Stop in and say hi sometime -- you'll always be welcome over at my site!
Posted by: Jen at January 5, 2005 11:29 AMSorry to here that Buzz. You are/were a damn fine blogger. I understand completely but I will miss my daily read. Thanks
Posted by: Charmless at January 5, 2005 11:31 AMWow, that's a lot of posts. You've done a good job with content. Do you ever wonder where we go from here, i.e., will we still be blogging like this two years from now? Five years from now? Will this die out as a fad or will new sophistication be introduced to include more audio, video, animations, etc.?
Hey, you aren't the guy in the truck that had a fit because he didn't get his french fries at Burger King are you? I didn't think so.
Posted by: ken at January 5, 2005 12:59 PMHi, I'm Melissa and I'm a LURKERholic on your site, but today I'm coming out of the closet to spread some honey your way! Come share in this special De-Lurking Day and do some of your own.
Posted by: Swt GA HunnyB at January 5, 2005 01:03 PMYour light-hearted commentary will be missed, Buzz. I don't think I've ever seen a blogger gain popularity so quickly before. At least none that weren't running porn blogs. ;-)
Good luck and don't be a stranger over at SEB.
Posted by: Les at January 5, 2005 01:24 PMnoooooooooooooooooooooooo....
Posted by: erin at January 5, 2005 02:47 PMEnjoy....
You'll be missed.
I am very, very angry at you Buzz. You won't like me when I'm angry.
Posted by: Beth at January 5, 2005 04:49 PMCome back and visit sometime!
Posted by: :: jozjozjoz :: at January 5, 2005 05:07 PMAh, man. This sucks. [Sigh] Well, like George Custer said, you gotta meet people where they are. But your blog is one of my favorites, Buzz. It makes me happy. So I hope your muse comes back. Go in peace.
Posted by: Kyle at January 6, 2005 01:56 AMHEEEEYYYY, YOU HAVE PARAGRAPHS..
Posted by: coffeenogrumpy at January 6, 2005 02:28 AMWow. And I was wondering why you hadn't been bolded on my blogroll in a few days!
What a kick in the ass to start my morning!
You'll be missed on my end. Always perked up my mornings!
Hi ya, Buzz Saw. We'll miss you, Brudda.
Posted by: Colin at January 6, 2005 09:31 AMYou will be missed :) But I'll bet you figured that out from the other 137 comments, no?
Posted by: Jules at January 6, 2005 10:32 AMWow. Bummer. :( I'll miss reading...
Posted by: sphinx at January 6, 2005 04:16 PMBuzz....I totally understand why you are doing it, but I am so sad. Take care and be sure to visit from time to time!

Posted by: P at January 8, 2005 02:08 AMOh no! Well, have a good life, and I'll be checking back to see if/when you change your mind ;D
Posted by: Onyx at January 8, 2005 11:18 AMWait... what...?
I just hopped on to wish you a Happy New Year and I see this! Say it ain't so. *pout*
Posted by: Erica at January 8, 2005 05:15 PM"run out of things to say and rather than bore you all to tears," What?
You were one of my very favorite reads!!! I'll miss you greatly.
I'm not having any of that!!!
You simply can't!!!!
I am so hoping that you will just take a break and come back. I know how you feel ... truly I do. But, I hope you don't give it up altogether.
Posted by: Rogue at January 9, 2005 05:46 PMok jokes over - you can come back now. That was really funny.
No really.
Posted by: Lee at January 20, 2005 05:35 PMAnd I just surfed over here for the first time!!!!
Just my luck.
Buzz, why do you say we warm your cockles? Do you sit on your computers monitor alot? I think it's really cool that you can read your blog and ours upside down, so you must type with your feet, I think.
I hope you are having a nice weekend, and that you come back one day just to say hi, it's just one word, but I hope you type more, like two words!
Posted by: Rockchild at January 21, 2005 10:29 AMDoes this mean you won't be guest blogging an occassional site or two?

Posted by: KathyHowe at February 14, 2005 05:10 PMHi Buzz. How have you been? I really thought you would come back soon..but you haven't published for almost 2months!
I guess you've been so busy. I hope you've been fine.
Posted by: Demi at February 24, 2005 09:44 PMHoly shit! I don't do my blogroll rounds for a month and I miss ALOT!! I'll miss you!!
Posted by: Kimmer at March 4, 2005 01:24 PMJust in case you are wondering, YES I am still pouting over this. Come back, man. I miss you!
Posted by: Jenn at March 21, 2005 08:09 AMI hope you are having fun doing what ever you are doing!
What are you doing anyways?
Posted by: Rockchild at March 23, 2005 10:43 AMHow cool! People are still leaving comments here!
Ahem. So am I.
Hope life is treating you right, Buzz...
Posted by: ben at March 24, 2005 04:37 PMHey... I know you are retired from Blogging and I'm SURE you are bored... so I have a deal for ya....
I know, I have your attention don't I.... you know I do....
I decided (don't ask me why...) to do a rag off glaze in my main living space... you know; the area that has the MOST walls in the entire house.... yeah, that area...
so I'm thinking to myself, while I'm ragging off glaze; why in the world didn't I hire someone to do this... then I start thinking... why in the world don't I get BUZZ to do this... being that he's the EXPERT painter and I just loved the leather look in your study....
So there you have it... my suggest for your free time now that you aren't blogging... come to no-where Indiana and help out...
what do you think? Tempted aren't ya!
;^)
just wanted you to know you aren't forgotten!
- Dana
