Comment Challenged

It has come to my attention that I am Comment Challenged!  Sometimes I have a really hard time coming up with appropriate comments when visiting my Blogland friend’s.  About half the time I choose not to leave a comment on your blog which probably makes me appear to be a Blog Stalker and I apologize.  There are times when I want to leave a comment very badly but just can’t find the right words so I just don’t.  Then there are other times when I am pressed for time but feel the need to let you know that I have been by so I leave a half assed  lame comment.  Sometimes I have much to say on the topic or I’m just in a particularly talkative mood so I find that my comments come very easy.  Last but not least there are times when I have had an adult beverage or two and I can’t shut myself up.  Commenting while under the influence can be a dangerous thing and I don’t do this very often because well, you never know what might pop out of my mouth or off the ends of my fingers…Let’s face it, everyone likes to receive comments and the best way to receive is to first give.  It’s what keeps this thing going and makes it fun.
Blog etiquette is a very tricky thing.  Because I am like to think of myself as a proper Southern Lady I want to do this comment thing correctly.  To do this correctly I need to know what is proper procedure.  Once I leave a comment I usually don’t go back to see if anyone has replied to my comment, I just don’t have the time.  How many of you reply to comment’s on the comment’s section of your blog post?  Maybe I’m missing out on a great conversation…Perhaps, you reply to the email that is sent when a reader leaves a comment.  I do this  but not every time someone comments.  Does it annoy you when someone emails you?  I personally like when someone emails me back.   Any thoughts or suggestions on this will be appreciated.
