Okay, so as a new blogger, nothing strikes at the heart of my insecurities like seeing the phrase, "This comment has been removed by the author." What is that supposed to mean? (See Comments for Snot Spot entry). What, was the comment too harsh? Too rude? Too long? Too short? Too funny? Too boring? Why didn't they preview it before they published it and decide at that point to just cancel out? Why put me through the agony of imagining the author's intent? Did the author simply decide that I wasn't worthy of his/her comment? What does it mean? I know what you're thinking - "Geez, if it bothers you that much, sign in and delete the entry that says the comment has been removed ya big baby!" But that's not the point! Yes, I can delete the nasty reminder that someout who is reading my blog is Stinkin' Cyber-Space indian-giver, but I can't erase the fact that it happened! I tried to figure out the politically correct way to say indian giver - but I gave up. So, for those of you who are offended, I do apologize. Leave a comment and delete it - we'll call it even. Hey, at least it won't say "0 Comments" at the end of my blog.

Ahhh...Heidi. I love it when you obsess! When I have to delete a comment it's usually due to my inability proofread with children screaming in my ear.
Billy says I should delete this post just to make you nervous. I won't because I consider you to be my friend and want to keep it that way. :)
OK, OK, IT WAS MEEEE! I'm so sorry. I noticed a typo after I posted, then deleted and reposted. I didn't mean to keep you up at night, I just need to proof read better. 1000 apologies. Why can't there be an edit option, not just a delete one. I should have realized after following your Starbucks ordeal that you are too sensitive for deletions. From now on I'll proof better or add a new comment below, with the corections. Please forgive me! =)
Blessings on you Jon for coming forward. :) Now I can go on living my life without this nagging feeling that I've failed someone. Hold on a second - I have to check my voicemail; oh GREAT! Someone hung up on my voicemail! What's THAT supposed to mean? (nagging feeling quickly returning) I'm off to go obsess about my phantom voicemailer...
