Sometimes 30 seconds feels like a long time.

You "blogexploders" know what I'm talking about.

Sometimes I am at a blog, that I am, let's just say, not really enjoying, and I think to myself, "Damn it, Suburby, just click away, forfeit the half a point!"

But then shaking my fist in the air, I think, "I cannot-- for I have already invested 14 seconds in it!"

Time, thou art a cruel master.

Oh, it's nice to have someone understand the boring points of BE. Fortunately though there is nothing boring in your blog. Nice place.

Know what you mean for sure -- but that's NOT a problem with your site. Nicely done!

yes yes yes...i've been there, and those 30 seconds are painful indeed. Then others seem to go fast because the content is actually worth reading.

Of course it feels like a long time when the content is boring or not what I'm interested in. But I'm here, and commenting!

What about the sites that nothing appears on? Yeah, 30 seconds flew by here - in fact I'm still on and once I've posted this I'll be checking your blog out more.

I'm glad my site wasn't painful for you. Thanks so much for the nice comment.

LOL. I do the same thing. If I've already spent 1/2 the amount of required time, why would I want to waste it?! You caught my attention though, and I stayed way longer than 30 seconds. Nice writing!

The 30 seconds can seem like an eternity on those business marketing pyramid scheme blogs or the stay at home mommy talking about poop blogs (not that there is anything wrong with s.a.h.ms but still, not my cup-o-tea). Oh and the blogger commenting system, ACK! Although, your site was worth the anonymous post after blogger begging me to sign up again.

Was skimming through when I hit this post at 30s. Funny (ha-ha, not funny peculiar) blog you've got here!

I've noticed it's a lot more than I'd like it to be too. It's sad to be neglecting work duties and not enjoying the crack that has become blog explosion.
LOL LiKe OMG!!!!! Too bad I can't roll my eyes in this.
