I noticed you left me and my humble blog domain. It hurts wicked hard that you chose to UNfollow me.
I don't know what I did or what I said or wrote, but won't you reconsider?
Was it my breath? I brush religiously and floss (more than occasionally, but not quite religiously).
It couldn't be body odor. I am fastidious with my stick of Dove Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant. I carry it with me where'er I go. If I catch even the faintest whiff of a not so fresh feeling, off to the loo I go and I apply fast and furiously.
Yes, I've been known let out a deadly gasser or two (or three). Perhaps, it's time to take the Activia challenge. "Activiaaaaaah!" And I'll do it! For you and a reclick on the follow button.
Look at ALL I am willing to do for you.
Won't you please follow me once again?
Baby? Please come back.
Zombily Yours,
Quirkyloon
-------------------------------------------------
Alas, tis true. I'm one follower less these days.
I have no idea who left (but I plan on doing a blog follower inventory later).
My heart is breaking and my mind is confused. What did I do wrong?
Or could it be like my husband said?
*doodle lee doo, doodle lee doo, doodle lee doo*
"Oh noooooo! Hon! I lost a follower!" Quirky started sobbing and crying.
"You lost a follower?"
"Yeh-ees" Quirky hiccuped.
"Don't worry Hon. It's not you or your writing or your sense of humor."
"Of course it is! Why else would they UNfollow me?"
"I bet they died."
Quirky perking up. "You think?"
"Oh, I'm sure that's what it is. Why would ANYONE ever UNfollow your blog."
"Why...why... I think you maybe onto something. I bet he or she did die! That explains it! In that case RIP to my once follower now dead UNfollower, RIP! Thanks Hon, I feel better now. Much better."
That sounds like a pretty good reason to UNfollow somebody, don't you think?
Death.
But wait, their Will Executor could have at least started following me to make up for
Now I feel sad.
Again.
*sigh*
B.S. No followers or UNfollowers were harmed during the production of this post. But Quirky is starting to feel a little desperate. Will somebody just click her follow button, please? *hiccup* *sob* *hiccup*

Oh what a bad coincidence...I have been unfollowed twice yesterday. I was devastated...
Non blogging friends think I am sobbing unneccesarily...how to explain it to them.
I hear you quirky I hear you...Sob
It's those people at group. They feel like you've neglected them, never coming and getting the help they (and yes, you) need. Don't blame them or be harsh on them, for they know not what they do. Just come back to group, participate in the therapy, and they'll feel all warm and fuzzy about you again and return to the fold. Remember, it's not just for you, hun. As crazies are all in this together. ;)
The Old Silly
I shall now go out and sign up for twelve more google accounts in different names so that I can follow you more than once. (I always figured all those people who had un-followed me had gone over to follow you.)
Can you imagine the wars that would break out if everyone knew who was unfollowing them? Maybe that's why Google keeps it a secret!
Aw.....sorry to hear that Quirky! Im dont know why anyone would unfollow you. Unless they recently became a zombie and suddenly can't read or something.
I keep telling you that the aliens are experimenting on us. They periodically grab a follower here and there. They try to do it so we won't notice but we are smarter than they think.
Speaking of missing, where is that cat?
QUIRKY!!!
I feel your pain...I awoke to the same thing!! Is it the same follower/ or non follower now?
Or maybe blogger is messing with us?
I don't why people go that much trouble to unfollow...I just stop visiting. So much kinder, don't you think? :) I will follow you to the ends of the earth. SCARY.
@Lazy Pineapple It is devastating isn't it? You can't help but wonder...why? hee hee
@Following You to the Ends of the Earth Marv Ack. The "group" again. I'm not no groupie, Marv! Ha! hee hee
@Catlady Thank-you. Finally a solution to the problem. Go ahead. *smile*
@Blueviolet I tread lightly where Google is concerned. Did you Google in Inuit (Eskimo lang) means Big Brother? Uh-huh. You read it HERE first. *smile*
@Denise A zombie? But I am the number one fan of zombies! All zombies are welcome here! Don't they know that yet? *smile*
@Reffie "Where is that cat?" nomnomnomnomnomnomnom *burp*
@Mamaface He or she is dead. That's my 'splanation and I'm sticking to it, because no other reason will do in my Quirky brain! hee hee hee
Okay, give me their names, I'll have Guido pay them a visit.
Well, that guy won't be getting your Follower award, Quirks. All I can say is:
I WILL FOLLOW QUIRKS
I will follow her, follow her wherever she may go,
And near her, I always will be,
For nothing can keep me away, she is my destiny.
I will follow her, ever since she touched my heart I knew,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away, away from her love.
EVERYBODY, NOW...
I love HER, I love HER, I love HER,
And where SHE goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
Hubs is right - death is the only reason - for you at least. My followers never go up just down - I am ok with that. Or am I??? *sobs*
Hey how do you ever know if someone stops folloing..Im a dimwit technologically speaking..?any way Im following you twice..see both pics with eyes and bubbles..lost my other blog (in cyberspace)and heres my new one..so follow along..glad to be back again..I would never leave..!
(sniff)(sniff)
oh i will follow you...
...um, is that bacon in your pocket?
I lost a follower over at Networked Blogs on Facebook today. I don't know who it is...but I desperately want to find out who and why. So I sooooo can relate to your traumatic experience. It's like being shellshocked.
Oh no! I recently lost a follower too. But the same day I gained one. Fabulous! I would never stop following you. In my Last Will and Testament, it will list that I am to be zombified so I can follow you.
I'm following you now. Does that make you feel better?
I know I'm sad when people unfollow me or drop me from their reader.
I've been reading you in my reader, but felt compelled to assure you that I am now following you! :-)
@MeMe I have NO idea who it was, I just noticed the number had changed. *hiccup*
@Nomie WOW! If you weren't married and if I weren't married...but we are so squash that thought! HA! You're da best Nomie! That was a loverly poem. You should write a book: Odes to a Loon! It would be a best seller! *smile*
@Joanne Nah! Your numbers aren't going down! Nah! Don't believe it. And yes death would be the ONLY valid reason to unfollow a blogger! hee hee
@Robin Well I have my follower widget in my sidebar and it tells me the total number? Well I noticed it was down by one. *sob* Please, I can't dwell on it too long! *grin*
@Nooter Yes...bacon! Lots of it! Ha!
@Amy Ah, if only all my followers were as diligent as ye! Ye shall be blessed my child...as a ZOMBIE! hee hee
@UR Well 'twasn't me! It is traumatic! Stranger than strange!
@AmyLK
@Lisa *smooch* I lurve you forever and will have your firstborn child. Oh wait, I'm not fertile. But that's okay, isn't it? hee hee
@Lisa BTW THANK-YOU! And yes I do feel MUCH better. Plus I just had a Diet Dr Pepper that always helps a little bit! *grin*
I'm so sorry you lost a follower. Oddly, I recently gained one, and he's been commenting a lot, sending me personal e-mails and posting all my blogs to Reddit and Digg and such.
But I'm sure it's just a strange coincidence and has nothing to do with you or with me. I wouldn't worry about it.
I lose followers every other day. But then I gain a few. Eh...can't please 'em all. Plus, makes room for someone new and fabulous, and sexy and powerful and sexy and fabulous.
Ok..I'll stop now.
@MikeWJ Well thanks for not rubbing it in Mister. *ouch* And really, I'm happy for you that you gained such an avid stalker, erm, I mean follower. *smile*
@adrienzgirl Hee hee hee. Your numbers are WAY higher than mine, so I cherish mine. Mine. Mine. hee hee
Fortunately/unfortunately I keep track of who all follows my blog. Last year I made several posts about my followers and even have a blog roll especially for "What the followers have to say"
I do notice that there is an inconsistency in the actual numbers (especially if you have followers with friend connect and blogger be the same person).
Just to let you know…
I am keeping an eye on you in my reader. And, if I like what I read I will follow. (Don't want to join in just because you are ranting about losing one).
@CaJoh Was I ranting? Oh dear me. I hope that won't negatively influence ye. *insert pretty smile here* And I do hope you will ENJOY what I write and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll follow me! *smile*
