Every day Hermione's Heart gets several hundred visitors, but I know only a small number of you. So today's the day I'm inviting each silent lurker to step out from behind the tree and leave a comment.
Everyone starts out as a lurker. It can take days, weeks or even months to feel comfortable enough to leave a comment on a blog. Sometimes it seems like the other people who leave comments are all friends who know each other and outsiders' comments aren't welcome. That's not the case here or on most blogs. I love to hear from newcomers, and you'll soon feel right at home.
What should you say? Tell me what country you're in, what your favourite colour is, or something about your interest in spanking. (That is why you're here, isn't it?). Or just say hello.
I'd love to get to know each and every one of you a little better.
A big thank you goes out to Bonnie for organizing Love Our Lurkers Day again this year.

Hi, I'm married. I'm 34; my wife is 39. She's a corporate officer and travels a lot. I'm a free lance writer. I work at home nd keep the house up. Last week, on the night before she left for a two week trip to Europe and the Far East, she told me to lose 10 pounds by the time she comes home -- "or else.". I was standing naked in the bedroom when she issued the command. "Or what?" I said. "Or I will spank your bottom into next year." I was stunned into silence. As I slipped by jammies on, she said "Understood?" I still didn't know what o say, but I was secretly thrilled at he prospect. "Do you understand what I have said to you?" she said as I slipped into bed next to her. She turned out the light, and gathered me in her arms. I lay on my side, my face away from hers and finally managed to answer. "Uh-huh." Then I felt her cup my bottom, tap it a few times. "Good boy."
Now, here's the thing. I have always wanted her to take charge and to spank me soundly when I needed it. But I have never asked her to do so.
No question, she is a strong person, so strong in fact that she could easily subdue me physically subdue me. Now I'm ata crossroads: do I let her spank me? If I do, I am quite sure that I will be under her control forever.
Hermione, not a lurker but mighty happy to be here anyway! And to your first commenter - I think it sounds like you would be very happy under her control!
Hugs,
PK
Hi!
Still around, just not very commenty lately. (is commenty a word?)
Anyway, I still read your blog and enjoy you very much and hopefully soon I may even come out of hiding!
HUGS!

I'm a lurker mostly to your blog but always here reading. You are one of my regular reads. I'll try to comment more often. :)
Hugs,
padme
Hermione,
I know I don't comment as much as I should, but I am reading! Your posts never fail to make me smile!
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!

hi
good blog i read it every so often
I read, and don't comment half as much as I should. Bad Eliane ;-)
well, i have been reading this blog for more than a year now. it's not that i lurk, it's rather - i seldom have anything to say, being brought up in the silent culture of latvia (which is on the other side of the world for you, canadians).but i do enjoy reading your thoughts, and admire you for both having them and having the time and the courage to blog them.
Hermione, I do enjoy your blog, waves and smiles.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
Hermione - I am not new and you know who I am but I don't know that I have ever left a comment here. Just letting you know I read here! :)
Hey, Hermione! I'm not sure if I've commented here or not, before, but I read. :-)

Love.

Hi Hermione,
You sure know a lot more about working a blog site than I do. I'm impressed.
I'm still reading. Keep writing and blessings to you, my friend.
Maryann
Hermione, I'm a regular reader here. In fact I've got your RSS feed on my Google reader.
I know I've commented here before but I just thought I'd check in with this LOL-day greeting -- from one Canuck to another!
keep up the good work!
Hermione ... Greetings to Canada ... Great blog ... great sense of humor ... Love it! ... Bottoms Up! ... RH
Hi Hermione!
Greetings from the U.S.! I stop in often and enjoy your blog.
Hey Hermione,
regularly visit your blog, often find something good for my SoW, but rarely comment..!
So here we go :)
Cheers
Chross
Hi, Hello, Howdy, Bonjour Hermione,
Been whizzing around the spanking blogosphere for the past hour or so posting comments regarding this special day for bloggers.
As with the others I'm a regular visitor to your excellent whimsical personal blog which is definitely one of the best spank themed blogs around. As long as you keep it up - er the writing that is BIG WINK - I shall forever be a devotee.
All the best for the future.
Hermione: Thanks for posting on my blog on lurkers day. I was glad to hear you're a regular visitor. And I hope you'll keep commenting more on mine and I'll do the same on yours although you already have a lot of readers who comment on your very good blog.
And to your very first poster if he's back and reading, if you want her to take control, tell her you want her to do it and start submitting. I think doing that will change your life for the better And start a blog and let us know about your jounrey.

Ok, I must confess that I have been reading your blog for quite a while with much interest but as far as I can remember, I have never commented. So I am de-lurking myself here for your amusement. LOL. Only seems fair since it is that day of the year to do so and I wish more of my own readers would do likewise. Thanks for the great read and I will be back to follow and maybe even comment more.

Hi, Hermione! Even though I'm not a complete lurker here, I wanted to drop by to let you know how much I love your blog. I'm here quite often even if I'm not very chatty.
Hugs!

Happy LOL day, Hermione!

Hi Hermione,
I've been here much more often lurking before I got the blogging bug. I will make a point to return and comment - I promise! First reader: You will be the winner - Hands Down!! All puns intended ; )
KayLynn
I love visiting your site often. You always have such great topics on here.
Katia
Hi Hermione.
Not a lurker but have been kinda quiet lately.
I do read your blog alot, and I enjoy it emensly.
Keep it up girl.
Hugsssss to you and Ron.
Jay
Hey Hermione. I too have lurked on your site from time to time. I guess I'm not technically a lurker, since I've also commented anonymously, but since I have an actual name and personality now I might as well post.
Hi.
I guess I am mostly a lurker on here, but your posts often bring a smile to my face in the mornings.
Hugs,
Indy
Ooooo, Your lurker picture is soooo creepy, lol.
Happy Love Our Lurkers Day!!!
Lookit at these comments! :-) I'm sorta lurk-ish, I guess -- I should comment more often. Happy LOL day! -- Erica
Hello back,
I don't get a chance to comment often, but I do read every one of your posts.
I think I owe you a special thank you, Hermione. If I hadn't stumbled across your question about birches some time ago I never would have found Recidavist again, or found many delightful new blogs.
I'm very glad you're here.
Ms. Betty
Wow! 31 comments ... 32 now! Thats great !! I think you should have to gget as many spanks as you get comments Hermione !! Fair!! Thanks for your LOL comment

I read your blog, and I'm pretty sure I've commented before, but all the same, I wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading your posts. ^_^
wow Hermione, quite a following you have. i do try to stop by your blog whenever i can. i do always enjoy your take on things. thanks!!! i think you know all that other stuff about me. happy spankings and pizza for you! haha!
Great turn out today!
Hi Hermione,
Belated Happy Thanksgiving from a fellow Canadian. I have been popping in now for about a year and a half. My husband and I have been married for almost 30 years and decided to add some spanking play to spice up a Valentine’s celebration. Of course that involved serious ;-) research which led to Bonnie and an assortment of her friends.
I enjoy your whimsical approach to the subject and the way you find spanking related themes in everyday life. In fact I thought of your blog at the grocery store the other day when I picked up a package of Dom smoked salmon!
Happy LOL Day!
R.
Hemione, thanks for stopping by at my blog today. I check your blog out pretty often. It's often quite entertaining--you can be a real hoot!
I'm not a lurker, but I am a new visitor thanks to LOL day! Looking forward to reading your blog!
Hi Hermione! I decided to link to your blog for LOL, because I read it often enough and for some reason it never made its way onto my list.
I'm 23. My favorite color used to be shiny, but now it is green. Some days, red. Most of the time, I don't really think about favorites. I am in the great country of Oklahoma. It's like a different one than the rest of the United States I've lived in.
Also, I had a law professor who used to call me Hermione, so I love your blogger-name... :-D
Hello!

Hello Hermione,
I read your blog every day, and love the sense of humor and fun your writings impart!
My husband and I thought of you this summer as we shopped together at a kitchen store for a wooden spoon! It has not yet seen the kitchen!
I love your blog - thanks for putting a smile on my face as often as you do !
kind regards
gail
Happy LOL Day! I have to agree with you that LOL day is a lot of fun!
Love the blog! Thanks for stopping by mine, and taking the time to post!
Cydni (Her Secret Corner)
Thank you for your LOL day comment. I read you, but I'm afraid I'm not that good at commenting - must improve feedback, must improve feedback, must improve feedback, ....
(And the captchka for this post is "subte", how does it know??
Hi Hermione, not a lurker but just wanted to add my thoughts to the others on what a great blog you have. I enjoy it immensely. :)
Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment here in celebration of LOL day.
Anonymous - Yours was the first comment. I don't know if you read the advice a few other commenters left for you, but I agree with them. I think you should let your wife spank you. But you should also talk about it, either before or after, and decide where to go from there.

Erica - Of course. And it will be our little secret.
Hermione
Hello Hermione!
Not a lurker, and it's not even LOL day any more, but I've not been around much lately, and since I'm here again I thought I'd say hello again. :-)
I'm in the UK and my favourite colour is purple. And right now I have a stinking cold, but still seem to be in a thoroughly good switch-space at the moment, which is marvellous.
*hugs*
Ophelia
Ophelia - Hello! I'm so glad you could make it.
