Have you been reading my mind again?

NO.

I'm either glad or sorry that it resonates....lol..

That was a too-emphatic typo. it should have been, "No."

kdfrawg well, good for you. wish I could say the same...lol.

ckfrawg Oh good. Glad you weren't protesting too much, then.

and they have a more expensive handbag too!

annhandley LOL! Yeah, the handbag things occasionally get me.

pssst...cheap knockoffs...

handbags: not so much. iPhones: yes.

yeah, they got them from the handbag guy on the mall!

Nut my mom says I'm smart and pretty.

But you can't spell...

who said handbags? It's the shoes that get me. (Thanks for sharing that great post, btw, annhandley)

shoes: yes. those, too. Plus I have a thing for jackets/coats.

emsgeiss: thanks. am I neurotic or does that resonate with you, too?

timjackson wait, my mom said that too. uh...

I'm pretty much handbag impaired.

nah, just the bags for me.

funny thing is, the more you understand about the rankings, the more you realize how silly they all are

well yeah.. ASSUMING you have healthy self-esteem!

I'm kidding mackcollier... you're right. But it is human nature to compare ourselves to others... and internet metrics do make it easy.

annhandley not sure what you mean. I'm still only #19 in Chicago on plurk so I'm staying up all night.

annhandley the more I learn about most 'A-Listers' I realize that being one is NOT the brass ring I once thought it was

<-- would settle for being unlisted and still having a life

ambercadabra Drink some Bawls. Stay awake. I'm here for you....

mackcollier Well, you have more A than most A-listers....I'll tell you that.

annhandley...you're not neurotic. It resonates with me too. Unless we're *both* neurotic.

ugh. i'll settle for being "listed" with the folks I like, thank you very much.

I'm still not on the Kansas list, where I would be number on. Well, it's a tiny pond, anyway.

MackCollier, I was just wondering where you were, and *poof* you appear.

emsgeiss... quite possible!

janechin Yes, me too. But it happens across many platforms for me.

kdfrawg I don't think I have a prayer in Boston.

annhandley i suffer from a major case of impostor syndrome. sounds like i'm not alone!

ambercadabra Nope... afraid not!!

Oooh, I'll bet Boston os tough. Living in Lawrence, I'm probably up against both of them (KS and MA)

kdfrawg Lawrence, KS is a cool place, I hear?

annhandley, I think the fact that you're *in* Boston makes you close. (I'm so missing the Boston scene right now. LOL.)

I was on the michigan list, but don't see myself anymore...but we're such a tiny pond of Plurkers

emsgeiss didn't realize you were from here.

I don't think Plurk's caught on in the same way as in Bos, which seems to be the epicenter of SM these days

It really is, annhandley. One of the best remaining downtowns in the Midwest.

Boston is a fun place.. lots going on, for sure.

Allen Weiss, the founder of MarketingProfs (and my boss), went to school there and talks about it fondly.

Good quality of life, good cost of living (well, maybe a little high), great college town

spiritual adventurer & author Eliz Lesser- why do we try to pretend we're all perfect-waste of time-amazing interview

Lawrence, not Boston.

annhandley we know who the REAL A-Listers are

50 comments! Dang girl. Good thing you know people like me to drive traffic here for you.

timjackson I don't thnk I can ever repay you.. truly...

thanks for the conversation guys.. appreciate it.

Hey, anything for you sis. Did they ever find that body in the back yard you asked me to get rid of?

annhandley yeah...I'm only a recent michigan transplant. okay..5 years so it's not too recent, but the fam's still there most of friends

emsgeiss well def let me know if you are ever in town!

timjackson I thought that the other half of your thumb?

annhandley yw for the convo...you started a great thread (would use bowing smiley, but don't have yet.)

wish there was a way to capture all this on the blog post itself... all this great conversation, and not a single blog comment.

Not that I'm counting, I mean. Heh, heh.

annhandley i bookmarked for tomorrow. love your writing style. i promised myself that i'd get my personal blog back in operation

have you considered using the Plurk widget? It can be found under the edit menu in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

thanks for that - hadn't noticed it. will take a look at it.

Jeez, it's all about Ann...

It always is, Tim. Always is.
