Hi Lid

That was a very interesting article you wrote, and you are right this reverse Psyccology works. I might try that on my blog. By the way are you ever going to find time to edit my book?

Call me!

Lyndon: Thanks for the kind words – although I got worried seeing the “sucked in” part – hope it was useful too… :-/

Tad: I’m willing to bet it worked a treat! Also, you should explore that German saying more. Always, the more successful bloggers invite comments and reactions, it IS the SEO 2.0 way!

Also, love, love, love how you introduced it on Sphinn :-D

David: Thanks. Boy – you could do lots! And, it could be so much fun: “How to make sure you ruin the first date” Think of the movie – How to lose a guy in 30 days – everyone wanted to see it…

Skellie: Thank you! I LOVE that some of the most brilliant bloggers are out of Australia – Melb too – but then, I always guessed we had it all over the US ;) – now I know. I’m homesick though…

Sadly, I have to disagree with Tad in part. Absolutely you have a fantastic blog, but it never hurts to occasionally have a play ;) – also, you can top it – your ‘Ask Skellie’ series will be perfect!

BTW – If you ever need a guest poster – I know this really cute Slavic domestic goddess from the land Down Under who is pretty decent ;)

YC: Thank you. Yep, it always works, but I’ve seen some shockers that don’t deliver, and that is not fair. Do it right, don’t abuse it, and you’ve got a little wish fairy you can pick up and use when you need to.

Ankesh: Thanks! Occasionally smart, often wrong, but never in doubt ;)

I’ve seen it used in many places – I use it occasionally on my little people. “NO, No… don’t do your homework, go get your gameboy” – and guess what? Each and every time, they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind, but I get their attention, and they always end up doing homework :) (they are 7 and 8)

Tad: Thank you!

This is an extremely smart post. Thanks Lidija!

Reminds me of a business card I had received. It said: Don’t flip this over.

The flip side said: The bad news is that you don’t take directions well. The good news is that we like rebels. Get a FREE appetizer at [Restaurant].
