Friday Flash 55.....

.

.
G-Man.....?
I understand your dilemma!
You've worked hard these past four years
to bring useless information and a smile to DOZENS
of people from all over the World.
But remember... You have a full-time job, AND a real
3-D life! Cut back on your 'obsession', and concentrate
on Your Baby...Friday Flash 55!!!
Five Cents Please.....

.

So there it is in a nutshell... I'll still visit my friends,
And I'll occassionally play in some prompts from around
Blogdom. But I'm NOT letting my Sales and private life
suffer because I have self imposed "obligations".
I'm still irrevrently around, and It will ALWAYS be business
as usual on Fridays...
So if you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man!
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!

I'm glad that you were only charged 5 cents for that advice.

Take care of business at home, G-Man!

Mine will be up in the morning.

secret agent woman said...

Enjoy the increased home& work time.

I know how you feel. I've had to cut back a bit myself just so I can actually write the books I try to get published. But I'll always visit anyone who comes to visit me.

Mine is here

clean and crazy said...

aaa you got busted on the computer!!!! hey i got one up too!!

g-man said...

Susie....Not at all!!
I just didn't want to feel obligated EVERY DAY!

KB said...

Been there, done that. I understand where you are coming from. Balance is the key :)

KB said...

Oh and I've done a 55 this week !

Serena said...

Everybody deserves a little R&R time -- well worth the 5 cents, I'd say.

Yvonne Osborne said...

Whew, you scared me there for a minute. I thought you weren't doing Fridays anymore and I was going to be annoyed. Even though I haven't been a very faithful flasher I expect you to always be here on Friday! Totally understandable that you step back a bit. Blogging is fun but it isn't life. I'm up.

This is my first and hopefully not my last! It was much harder than I thought. Thank you for hosting this!

I see many others have done a direct link HELP ME! :) Can someone explain it to me, please?

TALON said...

Lucy is very very wise as is the G-man :)

My 55: Cautionary

Janna said...

You scared me for a moment there...
So you ARE still doing Friday 55, right? I love it so much, and it wouldn't be quite the same without you to lead everything.

Thanks for the time you put into every week of this!
Mine's here. :)

Ugh! I totally get this and have had to cut back on a lot of networking to stay sane...which is why I haven't been around here in awhile...but I was inspired to join tonight. Hope you don't mind...thx :)

I Gotta See That Eye

joanna said...

g-man

there is a lot of that going around... I myself go to one of those gypsy fortune telling machines but they charge 25 cents, and last time I followed the advice printed on the ticket, well I will save that for another time.... but will say that I did get myself in a peck of trouble,,sigh!

mine hopefully will be up sometime tomorrow on Friday...work & stuff in the way...

Here is my "55 words":

Belinda Munoz said...

I myself prefer the smiles over too much useful information. Glad you're not abandoning us on Fridays. And glad to be linking up again.

One Stop - The Place For Poets, Writers and Artists said...

back with a seccond 55 for the week that i wrote to a music prompt...making the rounds now...happy friday everyone.

Nessa said...

Yeah, those self imposed obligations are enough to make you totally wack-o. Blogging becomes a full-time job too easily.

Flash 55 - New Beginnings

Eaton Bennett aka Berenice Albrecht said...

I understand completely, G-daddy!!!
I'm so glad you're not disappearing altogether...that would make me sad.

Soooo, another real life 55 from me.
:))

itchy scratchy

hugs, Eaton

Bubba said...

I don't blame you for cutting back, G-Man. As long as you're here for Fridays, I'm sure we'll be alright.

THIS is my 55.

You mean a Dozen thousand people, and fifty five million cents -of course!
:)

Yes Some 3-D life I need too!
I've posted something 4 u today...

Peaceful weekend GMAN and all of you readers!

hope said...

You had me worried for a minute there...just when I get BACK in the swing of 55s I thought they were leaving the station. :)

Understand totally! Have a great weekend!

Linda Bob Grifins Korbetis Hall said...

Be yourself, enjoy life..

agree with your standpoint on your 55.

here is My 55, Thanks!

Jadey said...

G-man I have missed you and everyone else. I am back and hopefully this time I can keep doing it. But you summed it up with your 55 work calls. Have a great 55 hugs to you

Myrna R. said...

I'm not submitting this week for some of the same reasons you give in your 55. I sure understand.

Glad you'll continue Friday 55. Take care.

MorningAJ said...

Glad to know you're still going to be around on Fridays.

I've done a very tired 55

Jannie Funster said...

I think it's AWESOME you are seeking balance between Real Life and blogging. I can totally relate. I have cut back to posting 2 days a week so I can get around to you guys' blogs better.

Fridays (and you ) will continue to RULE!!


I posted a 55whooo-hoooo!!

xoxo

Stranger said...

Looks like everything I wanted to say has already been expressed. I can relate and I'm relived that you'll continue hosting the Flash Fridays. You are, after all, the most gracious host from coast to coast.

Mine's up.

drybottomgirl said...

Now I really like you! Peanuts are just about the best, and Lucy is a rare breed. Stick with your convictions and I will see you on Fridays! Mine is up and have a sweet weekend....

Enchanted Oak said...

I understand, G-man. Priorities...

My 55 is here

hedgewitch said...

The internet can suck every minute of your day away. And garlic doesn't work--I've tried. Glad you're keeping the 55 going!

Here's mine--(and I'll be making the rounds a bit later--Much as I hate it, I also have to pry my rear up and do a few things today):

Goodbye Already

Jerry said...

Understood G. There is a fine line between mind and 3D matter. I have been very hit and miss lately and on vacation and forgot it was friday! I'll put a quik one up now.

Susan at Stony River said...

I *love* this post (thanks Lucy, definitely a nickel's worth LOL)

Real life is out there claling, isn't it? Which I guess is why I keep doing 55s... !! and I did one. And I should also cut way way back on the online thing.

Have a great weekend Mr. G!

Susan at Stony River said...

IT'S CALLING, I meant. Jeeeeeze, typing impaired today.

Jerry said...

Ok Galen...I got one done. Now go sell some stuff and I'll see you around the cyber cafe' soon.

GAB said...

I understand..as you know I have cut back blogging. But I dont have a job like you just a family who pretty much do their own thing. Including Mr Gab which you can read all about. I will look forwards to your friday 55 posts.

Lulda Casadaga said...

Totally understand..that is why I only do the 55's. And even sometimes i get sidetracked and can't make it. Mines up! :)

Millie said...

Very wise human. My human should get a clue about that. Hers is posted here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/beginnings/

MorningAJ said...

G- Man

My 55 became a 105 === a villanelle, so I left it that way... oops,

lime said...

balance in all things

Tina said...

I think there are many of us who have had to make that hard decision. And because of those real life obligations, I have no 55 this week. I so appreciate this meme, though. You're indeed a gracious host and you definitely Kick-Ass!
