Come out, Come out, Wherever you are. LOL Day 8!

Hey you! Yes, you! No, no.. there's no one behind you, I'm talking to.. YOU!

You lurkers out there, I know you're there. I love that you visit my page, and read my blog, and I totally understand the need to stay anonymous, or wanting to hide away where no one can find you.

BUT on the other hand, I'd love it if you were to come out and say hi! Today is the day to find that bravery, and say hello. It's LOL Day 8! Bonnie, over at Bottomsmarts, started this day, as a fun way to show our appreciation to our lurkers! After all, LOL stands for Love Our Lurkers. :)

LOL Day 8, is for all you lurkers out there who have been too shy to comment. Did you know you can even comment anonymously? Just choose anonymous under the comment section, and you don't even have to sign your name!

If you'd like to say hi, but don't want to do so publicly, you can also email me at ddcouple26@gmail.com

I really would love to hear from you guys!

I was a lurker for a while before deciding to make a blog myself. I read tons of blogs, and always wanted to comment, but never really knew what to say. I didn't think I could contribute much, because I was so new, but I was wrong to think that! I'm so happy I now have a blog, and if any of you lurkers out there are thinking about starting one up, I hope you decide to try it out. It's a great place, with great like-minded people. I've been lucky enough to meet a blog friend in real life, who became a great friend, and I'm also lucky enough to be meeting some more blog friends this weekend! Seriously, you really can find some pretty cool friendships here.

Colin and I also wanted to let you lurkers (and of course regular readers) know, that we'll answer any questions you have for us! Anything you want to know about us/TTWD from either the subs point of view, or the Doms point of view! Ask away. :)

Andddd, just because I think incentives are pretty cool, I'm going to give you even more of a reason to comment! I had some ideas for LOL Day incentives, so I told Colin about them. He liked my ideas, but actually came up with an idea of his own, which I think, makes it even better. :)

We have this jar, called the Naughty Jar, from CANE-IAC. It's a little jar with a bunch of rolled up papers in there. All the papers have some sort of spanking instructions. Most include the implement, the position, and some other non spanking things are mixed in there too.

Picture from CANE-IACs website.

We haven't used the jar that much, but that's about to change.

If I get 1-10 comments on this post, I'll have to pick one piece of paper from the jar.

If I get 11-20 comments on this post, I'll have to pick two pieces of paper from the jar.

21-30 comments, and I'll have to pick three pieces of paper from the jar.

I think you get the gist of it. ;) One more thing, if I get 20 or more comments, Colin says he'll take a picture after the spanking, and I'll add it to the blog when I post about it.

Since we have a little vacation time this weekend, we'll tally up the comments Friday or Saturday, and the spanking/whatever else the card says, will take place then.

As much as I'd love to hear from you lurkers out there, I also love hearing from you non lurkers too, so we'll count your comments just like we could count the comments from a lurker. I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to read my blog, comment, and leave advice now and then. I've gotten some great advice from you readers, and it's really helped me a bunch of times. :) So thanks for that!

Honestly though, all playfulness aside, I really do hope to hear from you guys, but if you're still too shy to comment here, I hope you email me, or at least think about coming out of your shell sometime soon. Whether it's to start commenting on some blogs you read, or to make your own blog. It's really helped with my adventure into DD/Ds, and it's an awesome way of meeting/talking with, some very friendly, like-minded people!

So come on, no more hiding today. Say hello! :)
