I am not familiar with the bingo card type of challenge, but, if you say it's stressful, I believe you!<br /><br />The main reason I stopped participating in challenges, though, was because of the lack of comments and comments back.<br /><br />I greatly Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-14965028842954267722016-12-28T22:42:18.275-05:002016-12-28T22:42:18.275-05:00I cannot participate in stressful challenges.

That includes the BINGO card ones and the 24-hour challenge.<br /><br />I actually only participate in the Goodreads Challenge...no stress except doing what I love and reading what I like.<br /><br />Thanks for your wonderful answer.

VERY well put!<br /><br />I can understand a general comment decline at this time of year, but only up to a point. Of the six posts I linked up above, only one of them was posted during the holiday season -- on Christmas Day, to be exact. That was the "Comfort and Joy" post. But then, why did that Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-23306066903179543932016-12-23T14:19:38.236-05:002016-12-23T14:19:38.236-05:00Not getting comments is definitely hard as it'...Not getting comments is definitely hard as it's no fun to blog into a vacuum though this time of year I think everyone has a comment decline. I know I do and I know I don't comment nearly as much on other blogs as I'd like. I don't do reading challenges because I'm terrible at remembering to linkup I do love the idea of some of the bingo cards and list type challenges Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-43211463282731807242016-12-23T13:34:46.531-05:002016-12-23T13:34:46.531-05:00Hey, Brian!

Much appreciated! :)<br /><br />Indeed, I see that some bloggers -- as well as people in the real world -- do not engage in what I would like to think is common courtesy. Apparently, it's not that common....<br /><br />I guess the best thing is to get to know a certain group of bloggers who are willing to comment back, and stick with them.

You raise some very good points here. ...Hey Maria.<br /><br />You raise some very good points here. I like the way that you have connected the blogging world with real life, that is, some people seem to be completely oblivious to the basics social interaction. <br /><br /><br />I only participate in reading events if bloggers that I know are very involved. This is for the reason that you specified above. <br /><br />I agree, much of Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
