Crazy!<br /><br />You can actually check on a website whether there is another site with the same content.

Was your teacher a woman? Mine was. So was my husbands. Envision your past English teacher with breasts that resemble a marble in a tube sock. Justin and I almost died laughing!!!!

Maybe because I subscribe to exactly one blog... yours. <br />The main reason I love your blog... because I already thought you were more American than apple pie. I wanted a little more insight... maybe a few tips on how to be so sweet with the perfect flaky crust. <br /><br />So glad you are the anti-plagiarism fanatic I imagined you to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-59876698559832896262009-04-29T11:52:00.000-07:002009-04-29T11:52:00.000-07:00I'm so glad that if you ever blog about "For the L...I'm so glad that if you ever blog about "For the Love of Benji", we will know it is original since you still have the ticket stub. :)Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334988857189121209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-11414948873592797792009-04-29T11:41:00.000-07:002009-04-29T11:41:00.000-07:00I don't understand "bloggy plagerism" either.
You...I don't understand "bloggy plagerism" either.<br /><br />Your blog is perfect just the way it is! I think we all feel reminded/inspired by someone else's words, and like you pointed out, they are usually common experiences. I also think we all feel (at least I do) intimidated by the "big" bloggers. Like you, some days I blog, some days I don't, some days I should, some days I shouldn't.<br /><br />You're doing great!Chrisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180105790160574066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-66889958732193176352009-04-29T10:16:00.000-07:002009-04-29T10:16:00.000-07:00Blogging is such an intensely personal thing for m...Blogging is such an intensely personal thing for me that I can't even fathom taking someone else's words.<br /><br />But writing about the same thing? I think that's totally fine as long as it's your own words and thoughts on that topic.<br /><br />I don't read that many blogs but I tend to gravitate towards certain blogs just because of blog chemistry, some are somewhat popular some are not popular at all. It doesn't make any difference to me as long as their words make me feel something.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596416561362483550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-68857536475692720552009-04-29T09:08:00.000-07:002009-04-29T09:08:00.000-07:00I worry about this too.

I read so many blogs, I always wonder what's going on in my head, am I coming up with original thoughts or do I just think I do, when actually, I've read the idea elsewhere. But then again, so many of our experiences are so similar.<br /><br />Overall, I think (I hope) if we are all writing from our hearts and heads, without the use of cut and paste, we are doing just fine!anymommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870033179328734404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-39618549103392864972009-04-29T08:59:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:59:00.000-07:00I think that some of those uber popular blogs are ...I think that some of those uber popular blogs are BORING. With a capital B. Yours - hysterical. Kate's - hysterical. Mine - I love it. That's what matters, right? <br /><br />I so can't imagine plagiarizing a blog post. I'm the girl who returns to the store if I notice a can of beans rolled under my daughters car seat in the grocery cart just in case the security cameras caught me and tried to get me the next time I visit the store. I'm way too scared of 'them' to do anything remotely illegal.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615149112130152767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-7080391399580286222009-04-29T08:13:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:13:00.000-07:00i don't get the blog plagiarism at all. it's my ...i don't get the blog plagiarism at all. it's my outlet, why would i want to vent or commiserate using someone elses words?Madgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905740781186585499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-30947851978672136582009-04-29T07:59:00.000-07:002009-04-29T07:59:00.000-07:00ah. blog angst.

Sometimes I feel like the most "popular" bloggers find a formula that really works for them (i.e. everyone loves it and emulates it), and then that's all they have to offer. Hilarious the first 25 times, but then it gets a little tired... And no one else seems to notice this (too busy sucking up in comments I think).<br /><br />Anyway - I love your writing style and look forward to seeing what you come up with each time you post. Can of beans, saving movie ticket stubs for an alibi, husband/kid stories... It's all great!Kate Coveny Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006589284938683965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-34512843433753901032009-04-29T07:19:00.000-07:002009-04-29T07:19:00.000-07:00It always blows me away when I read a story about ...It always blows me away when I read a story about this (yes, I've come across multiple infractions) - it's the Internet people!! Not a random term paper. <br /><br />(not that I've ever plagiarized a term paper. they can't take back your diploma, right?)<br /><br />And I've been meaning to do a post about how soccer trophies are stupid.
