Sunday Shout-Out #21: Ann's Rants, HBDC Virtual Road Trip continues & new in my reader
This week's Sunday Shout-Out goes to Ann @ Ann's Rants, another one of those bloggers that I discovered over at Humorbloggers dot com. Yep, one of those.
She began this blog back in October 2008. Why? Well, as she said it then in that first post, "My ovaries keep demanding I conceive something, so I thought my brain might distract them a bit if I got creative enough. Only time will tell."
She also said she hoped her blog would provide "parents a moment of shared commiseration, compassion and hopefully humor." It has done all of that, especially on the humor side, even as a non-parent.
One of her regular features is Free Association Friday. Other than that, pretty much anything goes and does.
This week, though, she is having a series of guest posts from man bloggers, including myself, for a week she is calling Man's Rants. I can't tell you when mine will be posted, but who cares? All of the posts ought to be a lot of fun to read.

Like last week, another place I'm going to tell you to go, and no, don't worry I'm not going to be mean and say something unkind either this week, is the the Humor Bloggers dot com Virtual Road Trip.
Last weekend began in Portland, Oregon with VE @ VE's Fantastical Nonsense for two parts: One and Two.
The trip continued in Manitoba, Canada with Venom @ Venom, Secret and Lies on Thursday and thus far, as of Saturday night, she has had two more parts: Two and Three.

Lest you think everything here is HBDC related, I do belong to two other online communities: Humor-Blogs.com and BlogStorm, where among those I have met are the authors of the following blogs that I've added to my reader this week:
Can o' Whup-Ass
Mad Science
The Misadeventures of Derek Bowles
The Trials of a MadMan
Dead Rooster
No Cleaning Here
Both Stephanie @ No Cleaning Here and William McCamment @ Dead Rooster had been in my reader and on my blogrolls previously, but for one reason or another, were...uh...misplaced. Yeah, let's call it that, but regardless now they're back and I'm glad to have them back as part of the family here. :-)

WOW! What an awesome shout-out! I love how you went back to my first post, and now reminded me of my original mission.
I've definitely pushed the blog more to the humor side, and I'm glad non-parents can enjoy it too. At least to some extent!
So excited for Man's Rants! Waiting to hear back from one Man and then I will send out the agenda.

No rush on when mine will be posted...I'll be checking it out every day anyway. :) This way, people that "follow" me can check in every day and find some bloggers that might be new to them.
You are awesome!
I enjoy Ann's blog also as a non-parent. That was a nice shout-out!

Dammit Rambler! Oh, wait, I seem to have picked that up somewhere... What I meant to say was thanks for the shout out!!
Thanks for putting a little publicity on this. I wish more were reading it. I'm enjoying them.

We only have a cat, but I still can relate. :)
You're welcome. Is this Mr. Mad Science? :)
I agree. I think summertime has derailed the road trip a few times, but hopefully it will get back on track by the end. This was the first time this was done. Hopefully, it can be done next year, maybe in the spring sort of a pre-summer event to give people ideas for vacations.
One and the same...
Just stopping by from Ann's Rants...cause I loved your name (mmm, wonder why?)...Great blog!

Want to leave a long, rambling diatribe on the state of world affairs? Have at it...somewhere else. I'm the unfinished rambler here. But feel free to leave your aphorisms, especially encomiums, panegyrics to the author. Feel free to consult a thesaurus like I did.
