Occasionally, I'll do something just because it's fun, but most of the time I'm selective. If the topic is something suitable for my blog, I'll do it. Otherwise, I pass.<BR/><BR/>The ones like this, though, are good for letting readers learn a little more about the blogger, so every once in a while, they're worth doing.Lillie Ammannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851121176224654240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-85217153094772117832009-01-17T21:20:00.000-06:002009-01-17T21:20:00.000-06:00I've only done 1 meme, and then just as a blogpost...I've only done 1 meme, and then just as a blogpost. I linked back to my tagger, but neglected to tag anyone else. Combination of shyness and unclear on the concept, I guess. And I guess I'm not sure how I feel about them. Not into lists and surveys, tho'.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386756765715795405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-12251079669692845872009-01-17T19:04:00.001-06:002009-01-17T19:04:00.001-06:00I'll do interesting memes, but I don't like to do ...I'll do interesting memes, but I don't like to do too many or the same one more than once.

With a well established blog now, though, not a big fan of them. I did this one a couple days ago just for old times sake and an good friend (Zhadi) but I also posted the announcement to DO NOT TAG ME ANY more! - LOL - cuz I won't do them anymore. But they CAN be fun for starters. I did enjoy reading your 6 things, as always, an enjoyable stop here at your blog, Morgan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-23497056364160048032009-01-17T15:06:00.000-06:002009-01-17T15:06:00.000-06:00I love doing memes, but I hate having to tag peopl...I love doing memes, but I hate having to tag people.<BR/>cmrChris Reddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00429148293004912993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-10190123124744651862009-01-17T13:26:00.000-06:002009-01-17T13:26:00.000-06:00I'm half and half on memes - if they're short and ...I'm half and half on memes - if they're short and fun, I like 'em and sometimes they give me needed inspiration for a blog post.
