A Confession and a Request

delurk.jpgSo I check the webstats on this site more times each day than I brush my teeth or tell my husband I love him. In fact, my stat checks number about the same as my espresso drinks, which is to say, three, or four on a bad day.

Sad, isn't it?

One thing I know: There are WAY more people reading these pages than commenting. That's why I was thrilled to learn it's Delurking Week, brought to you by the Paper Napkin blog.

Do me a favor and comment this week. You don't have to say much. Just type "hi," if that's all you can say. If you can type a little longer, tell me where you're writing from, or how you ran across Quick Serve Kids. I'll read every comment, I promise, and be grateful for each one, too.

Hi from Texas - I read you on RSS, so you may not see me on your stats :)


Lea, you'll be glad to know that I've picked up the torch on the Nat'l Delurker Week thing.

Consider me delurked! And hey, Jen, I'm from Texas too!


Hey, Lea,

We read you everyday!

Love, the Terrell Tribe

Of course I read you too - from our happy hectic home in Alexandria, VA. I don't typically comment cause I'm finding it hard lately to take the time to brush my teeth, tell my husband I love him, etc. Such is the life of an industrial feeding machine...

But while I'm here, totally agree with you on the mandatory service industry experience. I worked in a university bagel shop and suffered the humiliation of vicious, nasty, entitled customers. I'm always friendly with hung-over, sour cashiers and waiters as a result.

And I don't ever eat food that came in contact with the tray. Never eat the food that touches the tray! You can't imagine how filthy the washcloths were that we used.
