October 30, 2007 at 1:06 pmWoot, woof, woot! Is it spelled BARk cause they pay in liquor like you are a bar band?
qt says
October 30, 2007 at 1:12 pmMs. Bossy, how I have missed you!!!
I am just catching up on all your posts. I love the bunched up towels – I suffer a similar fate. Also, thanks so kindly for the prize from Bossy’s basement. I will let you know who I re-gift those to. : )
And I am ALL OVER the BARk book – I can’t believe you aren’t giving away autographed copies, considering your world famous status…

Have I mentioned that I don’t like dogs?
Jenn says

Biddy says

Evolving says
October 30, 2007 at 2:53 pmGee Dag Bossy! If you don’t slow yer cute little butt down on all this publishing and printing and making of famousness I will NEVER catch up.
I hope that story is about Stella. Since the dream I have begun secretly longing for a dog as big as a horse.
Shh…don’t tell the cats.
RuthWells says

No fan of yours says
October 30, 2007 at 3:39 pmWOW…what a shitty blog. What kind of cerebral impairments do you have that makes you refer to yourself in third person. Do you think it’s entertaining? You sound like an idiot. Go get an education.
OMSH says
October 30, 2007 at 3:51 pmBwahahahaha! I’m sorry. I’m laughing AT the previous poster. Why oh why do we have to be ugly “No fan”? Did your momma not teach you the cardinal rule we all learned from that lovely skunk in Bambi?
If you can’t say something nice…
Exactly.
Published! You’re published!!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!
Arr-arr-arr-arrrroooooooooo!!
Laurie Foolery says
October 30, 2007 at 4:22 pmRegarding “No fan of yours” . . .
I doubt he/she is a fan of ANYONE’S. And he/she is exactly right — this blog will never be popular. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Jennifer says
October 30, 2007 at 4:29 pmWow!!! That is fantatic, Bossy!
Mrs. Chicky says
October 30, 2007 at 4:29 pmHere I was licking my wounds for feeling out of the loop (go check your email) and then I read the nasty comment. Now I just feel like beating that person with a rawhide.
Brando says
October 30, 2007 at 4:38 pmLooks like No Fan forgot to take his One a Day Plus Irony vitamin. That’s okay, he can get his full day’s supply when he gets beaten with a bag of oranges.
Congrats on the book, that is terrific!
Jen M says
October 30, 2007 at 4:53 pmShut UP!!! That is so exciting!!!!! Published!
Jen M says
October 30, 2007 at 4:55 pmUh – just read that crappy comment. Here’s a question….WHY CAN’T YOU GO READ ANOTHER BLOG, THEN AND JUST KEEP YOUR MEAN COMMENTS TO YOURSELF?
Jen M doesn’t like it when people are mean. Especially to one of Jen M’s favorite bloggers.
Teryn says
October 30, 2007 at 4:59 pmThat’s pretty darn cool.
Noelle says
October 30, 2007 at 5:17 pmWe sell this book at work. I must remember to tout it on the next company newsletter. (Unknown Name) is one of my favorite writers!
Kristin says
October 30, 2007 at 5:24 pmOkay, this is regarding your post on bargain basement and the halloween costume ideas… that’s no fair, you stole one of mine!! I totally went as gum on the bottom of a shoe when I was 14. Only I hot glued an old sneaker to a headband. I recommend using a LIGHT WEIGHT sneaker, as it gave me a neck ache!!
Have The T-Shirt says

The Domestic Goddess says
October 30, 2007 at 7:49 pm*sniff, sniff*
DG can say DG knew Bossy (met Bossy once or twice) back when! Bossy is super cool.
Oh and Not a fan? Um. Haven’t you ever seen Silence of the Lambs? It puts the lotion on or else it gets the hose again? Dude. Referring to yourself in the third person is all the rage. In fact, it’s the new black. All the cool kids are doing it. OH YEAH! YOU AREN’T COOL! Oops. Go get an education. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
superblondgirl says
October 30, 2007 at 9:06 pmHurrah for Nora Ephron! I mean, Bossy.

And look at you now, girl!
As for a shitty blog – I think NoFan will find it’s chocolate.

Hoo-rah!
Congratulations.
I am flushed with excitement over this for you — whoo-hoo! (Hey, just because it’s 4 a.m. doesn’t mean I’m not throwing you a party over here!)
Wendy says
January 25, 2008 at 11:12 pmI was already planning to buy the book; then I read here that you had contributed to it. That made me fly out the door and actually purchase it IN PERSON with NO DISCOUNT…I read it; I loved it and, already, I’m reading it again. You, Merril and Kinky wrote my favourite essays.
Hope your sweet daughter is doing well…Stella, too!
