So, first off, a big sorry to the masses that read this blog. Especially you 118,207 readers out there that have figured out a way to subscribe without it being tracked by feedburner and somehow bypass google analytics when you visit, but I still know you are out there. I have taken a great deal of time off from blogging so I can devote every free moment I have with my family and its new addition. Things are great at home and just catching up on everything at work after my leaves and such.
So, turns out, I’m a nice guy, after all, Polli of Polliwog’s Pond seems to think so. She even gave me a fancy shmancy “Nice Matters” award. You can read about it here: Crash … Aaa-ah!. So some link-love back to you in return – Thank You Polli for the award and the mention on your blog!
Back Story:
Polli contacted my via my contact page asking for some PHP help. Her needs were very minor that I would feel guilty charging her for any of the help I offered. However, I did agree to a price first, and just ended up not charging her in the end. That way, it gives her “fun money”. You know, that money that was budgeted for something else, so you don’t really expect to be able to use it, but then you get to use it on whatever you want. Polli is a mom of 6, so I told her to take that money and go have a fun day with her kids instead. I hope she took that chance after such a hard time recovering her wiped computer. I’m anxious to see if the edits I helped her with work out and see them in action on her site.

Bobby’s Amazing.
Bobby is God.
And sooo modest
That’s actually a quote from one of our friends from a long time ago!
I disappeared, he had no idea where I went. He was a little “out of it” so that is what he said.
I had actually gone home a couple hours before that.
Yeah, that’s why it was so funny!
He didn’t realize that Bobs was gone for a few hours. When he finally did figure it out, he thought Bobby was a magician or something!
You are a nice guy and I am pleased to tell you that everything you did for me worked like a charm. My comments section is working much better and I have the cool little avatars in it now. I did have a fun day with the kids. We were able to see the new Harry Potter movie. I have another award for you and you are one of the first people to ever recieve it. I’ve worked on it all week and I’m crappy at graphics but it was important to me that I actually make the award since it would be from me personally. So I hope you accept the very first ever "Polliwog Award" — it is an award for people who change their lives for the better or help others change their lives. Helping someone with their blog, on something that was frustrating the heck out of them for weeks and weeks, may seem small but to me it was huge. Thank you Bobby!
