Things People Say

VBA

Francois Bergh has nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award (VBA).   Thank you Mr. Bergh.  I really appreciate your writing and flattered that you would think of me.  Cheers.

In Fairness I must say that Mr. Bergh was not the first to nominate. I believe the first was iamjoe (iamjoe.wordpress.com/) and the second was jahasmoments (http://jhasmoments.wordpress.com/). A hearty thank you to the two of you. I pray that you would receive success in your endeavors. This would actually make Francois Bergh the third. I have heard that the third time’s the charm. Apparently sometimes that is the case.

In order to comply with the terms of acceptance I must nominate some other bloggers.  I recommend you check out their blogs if you haven’t already. Now these are not blogs I “recommend” simply to uphold my end of the bargain. These are blogs I actually read myself on a regular basis and benefit from. I have made no attempt to avoid nominating people who have already been nominated and would be a little surprised if anyone accepted the award twice. I make no assurances about any of them being “safe for children” (or for you, for that matter). I do not pretend to share the same philosophies, religion, or temperament as any of these bloggers (though I may in some cases). I won’t even tell you what it is I like about any of them. I’ll let you guess. Happy reading.
