…writing posts full of research and facts and critical thinking and well-reasoned discourse. At least, I try to.
So where have a ton of hits come from today, according to my sitemeter? A search on Bing for images of “muffin top.”
In case you missed it first time round, here’s the post.

Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely

What is that said about the lowest common denominator?
Perhaps you should take advantage of this and try to fit some some surreptitious political message into your more frivolous postings. I don’t know how. I am reminded of the old Mad Magazine cartoon of flashing messages of milliseconds duration during a movie that said , “Fallout is good for you.”

Heh, my biggest hits are for a link to the sunshine dodge-isuzu story, the Coast to Coast AM guy’s wife being screwed by INS, and various phrasings of “noises in my head.”

Same here. My biggest hits generator is an old post about a Russian painter and illustrator of fairy tales, Ivan Bilibin. I wrote it as a side not to my comment at someone else’s thread, so I could include illustrations of his works. Not a piece of art criticism; just a post with bare biography outline and few pictures.

Hey this is but an excuse to let you know that macys carries a brand of jeans called “Not Your Daughter’s Jeans” which are a looser fit, and not skippy hip huggers.
My main complaint nowadays is that the clothes are so cheap and flimsy looking, with godawful fabrics, the kind that children’s Halloween costumes are made of, yuck. And this is at my old fave, Macys, that used to carry the old classic stuff, button down blouses and mock turtleneck shirts and slacks and skirts. Now the stuff looks like what only Kmart and the five and dime would offer on their special sales. Cheap looking but not cheap!
I guess this proves that I now am just a crotchety old lady.
BTW nothing is too trivial to blog about. I like these posts better than the political ones, they are about sharing subjects that unite us, rather than divide us.
Let’s all join hands and sing Kumbayah!

It was an important topic. Very few are more important. Don’t apologize.

This will never, ever, be a place where I go to find out about muffin tops. It will always and forever be an island of intellectual lucidity and high purpose in a sea of sham!
But “There’s always room for Jello.”

I remember the post. Stuff like that is memorable.

Well, I guess muffin tops are important to those who have one (I am beginning to resemble that remark as of late) and to those who don’t really appreciate the time, effort , and money put into one.
Eight years ago, I switched to a desk position as opposed to a field position. Alas, the muffin top began to rear its ugly head shortly thereafter. What’s this “exercise” stuff I keep hearing about?

An iron law of media? “Less logic, more girlie pictures”. Any girlie pictures, apparently.
Or try cat photos. Just round up a bunch of cats and start snapping…

For half a year, about a quarter of my traffic was people looking for ABBA photos, based on one particularly 70’s-fashion nightmare I posted.
So I went with it, and put up more ABBA photos over the next year.

My blog is intended to be a pleasant mix of family news, religion and politics, with a good measure of homeschooling info mixed in. Most of my visitors are searching for “chinese dragons” and the “loch ness monster”. Who would have ever guessed?
And I too remember the muffin top article.

- yours remains one of the better blogs around and you are humble enough to accept your talent and let it grow

Just consider it a nice blast-from-the-past.
Also, it reminds me - I wonder how Foxflier is doing.

When can we start arguing about whether the muffin-top lady was fat or not??
On my family blog we get repeated hits on a seriously boring grammar rant I posted one day about may versus might and many, many Google image searches that land on a photograph my husband took of a cow who got her head caught in the crotch of a tree. From what we can tell the search terms that find the picture seem to be words like “crotch” and “head.” I bet people are surprised to find themselves looking at a cow!
