Membership Has Its Advantages II

Has it really been over three months since I gave out a patch?

Criteria for this round was comment saturation. If you've commented more than 40 times you get the award. 40? Totally pulled out of my ass (and fairly easy to figure out with Typepad tools).

I have redesigned the award to make it more sidebar friendly. If you need a different size, ask and maybe I'll get back to you soon. ;)

MRTLand distinguished visitors are as follows.

	A SECOND STAR awarded to: Kalki Note: The first star was for reading through my first hideously long post, as awarded here. Smaller version
	A FIRST STAR awarded to: Amy, Andrea, Bill, Cat, ieatcrayonz, Kelli, Kranki, Kristine, LadyBug, Sharkey, Susie, and Torrie Note: All of these lovely people (and Kalki above) received the first award here. Smaller version
	New Awardees: Bente, Ern, lawbrat, RazDreams, Sheryl, Suburban Misfit, and The Anti-Stalker Smaller version

Thanks to all of you who visit my little spot in cyberspace, and especially for letting me know you stopped in.

p.s. If you think you've been overlooked, please shoot me an email. Some of you use different IPs, pseudonyms and such. I did my best to catch all winners.

And I certainly can't forget to mention...

...my gratitude to she of the final chemo, who just sent me two ginormous packages of Smarties.

THANK YOU KRANKI!!!

**sniffle** I'm so happy for everyone who got awards today. Don't worry about me, I'm fine.... ;)

[LadyBug]

Okay, see, here's the thing...

First of all, THAT IS SO COOL, and thankyouverymuch for the star.

Secondly, I never added my badge to my blog because I DIDN'T KNOW HOW. I'm so lame.

Lastly, I'm pretty sure I still don't know how. But I'm gonna work on it. I don't know if I'll be able to get it into the sidebar, but surely I can at least get it into a post.

I'm glad you're feeling a little better today. You've been on my mind. HUGS.

[mrtl]

eclectic - You're still a bit new here. No worries. :)

LadyBug - Let's see if this coding will work here. Remove the asterisks when you paste it in.

[Bente]

Hooray! I'm so excited to finally receive a badge! Thanks, mrtl. It's an honor.

[Sharkey]

Thanks for posting this again. I've already added it to my sidebar. It wasn't that I didn't want to feature it before--it was just that I didn't do it right away. And when things don't get done right away, they pretty much don't ever get done.

[mrtl]

Bente - It's been a long time overdue.

Sharkey - I know how that is.

[RazDreams]

hrmmm... i'm so bad and dangerous and scandalous, that i'm tempted to add the one with the TWO stars to my blog...but, alas, mrtl has admin rights to my blog and can just shoot that right down!!! look, i'm just all excited to be RECEIVING a badge. i best be good. i better behave. i'm going to be a good little girl and put the correct badge on my site. i'm just relieved to finally be getting a badge (because i definitely don't think i've commented 40 times!!!). yea me!

[mrtl]

Raz - Really, you know that password and can change it if you desired. Either way, I know you're an honest person.

This is comment #47 for you, by the way.

[Daphne]

dang, i have some catching up to do! also, thing-to-be-mailed has made progress and was supposed to be mailed today. is still on my desk.

oog, so tired.

[Susie]

What LadyBug said. You can't give a patch to a techno-dunce without telling her how to sew it on her vest. You know what I mean. I'll try to do what you told LadyBug. If it doesn't work, you'll have to come over and sew it on for me.

[mrtl]

Daphne - At least you have the stuff you need to mail.

Susie - Sho thang! I thought of you yesterday. Our local paper ran a story on your Neville fetish and his work with N.O.

[Torrie]

I am so honored.
*wiping tears from cheek*

I'd like to thank my shoulder and my back from preventing me from working, thus giving me ample opportunity to sit at the computer all day and blog.

Thank you.

[Susie]

Damitol! I tried, but I couldn't sew it on. And I really thought I'd be able to, because I did manage to paste in that little blinky thingy that I have now. So you'll have to help me when you can. I'll email you how to get into my drawers. Bucky and greenie already get in there. One more won't hurt.

[cat]

WINNAH!

You KNOW how much I love an award, doncha mrtl?! Oh ho ho! Yes I DOOOOOO!!!

It's an honor and a privilege. Now if only I could figure out how to post the damn thing...

[LadyBug]

Thanks mrtl! Not only did I manage to get my badge into my sidebar, I also figured out how to change the coding (well, that one number, anyway) to show the one-star badge, since it was showing up as the two-star one, and I'm only legally entitled to one star. (I didn't wanna be a cheater-cheater-pumpkin-eater.)

Go. Me. (Well, technically, Go. Mrtl. But I did manage to copy and paste. That counts for something, right?)

P.S. How are you feeling, hon?

[sheryl]

Thank you, mrtl! You like me... you really really like me!

[mrtl]

Torrie - I'd say you're taking one for the team, but it's more like fifty.

Susie - In your drawers with Bucky and Greenie? How titillating!

Cat - Code is above. Let me know if you need help beyond that.

Go LadyBug! Glad you figured it out!

My throat is still sore as hell, but otherwise I'm feeling much better. Also nice that I have only changed one poopy diaper today. (By this time yesterday I had seen at least three. Her butt is so raw.)

Sheryl - You doubted that?

[Susie]

If I accidentally get two stars, I am SOOOOO keeping them.

[Von Krankipantzen]

Thank you Ms Mrtl! I appreciate that. Glad you got the candy. And I hope you are feeling better now.

[sheryl]

It was a corny reference to Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech...

Sorry! Don't throw your used tissues at me! ;)

[mrtl]

Susie - sorry

Kranki - Virtual smooches to you! Glad you're feeling better so quickly to be out and about.

Sheryl - i knew that. shut up.

[kalki]

Awww, how nice to come home to a patch! With TWO STARS!!! Thanks!! I'm still catching up on posts...I've missed you, girl.

[mrtl]

kalki - Welcome home, girlfriend!

[ieatcrayonz]

Sweetness. I can't wait to get it up.

[mrtl]

tee hee yonz - you said "get it up."
