Being the curious and inquisitive sort, I have a little widget on my blog that keeps track of how many visitors I get each day. In addition, it tells me how some people get here. If you see a comment that I have made on another blog, you might click on my link in the comment and end up here and then I can see where you came from. Friends and family I can often identify because of their location. Some people scroll through blogs on Blogger from the bar at the top of the page. But the most interesting way people get here is by looking for certain subjects on search engines.
A lot of people get here by looking for recipes. Turkey Meatloaf seems to be a biggie. As well as Squash Sausage Soup. Spicy Chicken Vegetable Soup is the absolute favorite recipe, followed closely by Cottage Cheese Dill Bread. A search on spare rooms brought someone here. My New Years Resolutions seemed interesting to some people.
But far and away,outstripping [you should pardon the expression] by leaps and bounds any other search are those who are looking for variations on “Old Lady Underwear”. Among the searches in this vein have been “women’s underwear with legs”, “older ladies in underwear”, “old women in thong underwear”. Holy Sha-moly!
Seriously now, wouldn’t knowing this make you want to take your blog and scrub it down with Comet and a wire brush? Spray around some of that anti-bacterial spray maybe? But, then again, a lot of these …… unusual visitors seem to stick around and read pages and pages of my blog sometimes, so perhaps I am performing a public service. People come here for nefarious reasons but instead stay around to look at pretty pictures of the sky and life-affirming stories about life out in the country. One can only hope…
Thanks for the comment over at my blog. Now I’ve got another blog and recipes to check out, and sky photos. I look at the sky all the time, just check a few Wordless Wednesday back to see the sky outside my home.
Thanks for commenting on my blog. At least I know I didn’t get here by searching for ” Old Lady Underwear” :)
I’d take ‘old lady underwear’ over some of the pornographic word searches I’ve landed. Really now. I wrote ONE post about an online suitor who had a Burt Reynolds mustache circa Smokey and the Bandits and how every time I looked at his picture I heard cheesey 70’s porn music. That is all it took. Lovely.
Thanks for stopping by. This is very interesting to me about some of the things people google out there in computer world. The old ladies in thongs is a very scary thought.
Nefarious …. Mmmm… had to look that one up on Dictionary.com to get the full nuance of meaning. I had a vague sense of the meaning ….. if something is nefarious? …. not good!
Once more you’re been entertaining and educational …. that’s why I visit every day. If you see some new hits from KC, those are all my vanpool riders that I invited to check out your recipes and photos.
I’ve been wondering. We hear from Dlyn every day, see many photos of her family members (and a great looking family they are … espcially those named Mark) but photos of Dlyn are conspicuously missing …… does Larr know how to use a camera? ; ) I’m sure you could trust him with the old point and shoot.

PS – I am on your blog …. it’s my blue plaid arm in Grandma’s picture. : )
I just come here ’cause I like you and I like what you blog. I must be weird because I would never think to Google for kinds of blogs out there.
Have a great day!
Egads – I’ve almost posted about the search topics that have led some weirdos to my blog, but some of them are downright embarrassing!
I might just bite the bullet and do it one day, anyway, though.
Thanks for visiting my blog earlier;). (I thought the cat was uber gross too, but still – I couldn’t help but laugh at the – uhm – ingenuity some people get up too).
Mmm…Spicy Chicken Vegetable Soup. I’ll have to check it out.
Thanks for stopping by; it’s always nice to find a blog with great food ideas.
Wow, D…I typed in Old Lady Underwear and you were right there at the top of the list. That is quite an accomplishment! I hope you don’t start charging admission to get in here now. LOL

CM – dlyn does not care for having her picture taken, but we may oblige you in the near future.
paige jennifer – there were a few worse results actually, but they gave me a bad enough mental picture – I could not bear to inflict it on others.
Thanks ness – love you blog too!
Janis, charging people to look at your underwear is called – well you know what it is called and this is NOT that kind of blog! :P
thanks for stopping by everyone!
I can’t find your About page or an email link to ask you this . . . but where in upstate NY are you? I came from Dee’s blog where you said in a comment you were from upstate NY. I’m in Binghamton.
I am not far from you Kathy – about a half hour is all. Small world! Thanks for stopping by. :)
