This is probably the most difficult post I have ever written.
This happens to be my 788th post. The Couch began on March 16th, 2006. I even missed my three year anniversary this situation has caused me so much grief.
I always wondered how it would feel to get to my 1,000th post, but I guess that day will never see the light of dawn.
You see kiddies...I am shutting it down. It is over, kaput, finished... 788 posts here and 3 over at Mangia Y'all...
Why? Why you ask? Well, it appears that I am no longer wanted in the blogger community.
I have received notice from the powers that be that they have received 'far too many complaints' about The Couch and my visits to other sites around the bloggosphere.
There is a coordinated campaign which has obviously succeeded. A group of folks have protested my presence here and as my blogs are both under the same 'domain holder', I have been banished.
I have been fighting them, but yesterday the fight ended....I was able to negotiate one last post.
My account is being shut down as of midnight tonight. If I can come up with a way to sign up a different way I will visit y'all, but they have both my isp's and said they would be blocking them.
I guess you will have to find your music somewhere else...
It has been fun...

Thank goodness! I was beginning to wonder if all of my grass roots work was falling on deaf ears!
Eh, that's too bad. Good Luck with all of that. Cheers!!
Finally, the "The Powers That Be" have listened to reason and my constant complaining about this electronic dribble that you spew on a daily basis. May the 1000th post never see the light of day! Hmmm....I wonder.
this must be your april fools joke
Oh, my dear Bond...
When I first read this, after being out of blogging for months, my heart fell. I thought it must be fate that I stumbled across this post on the day you posted it. How fortunate that I caught this now, and not weeks from now...
Then I realized--it's April 1st. *whew* Because though I have been absent, I still enjoy your writing, your tutelage, your humour!
Good on ya! You had me going for a minute there!
Hope all is well!
:D
And your point is...............?
We think it's a badddddd April Fools Joke.
It had your mother and I wondering what you were going to do with all your spare time:):):)
A hell-u-va GOTTCHA

DANA: No it worked...
MATT-MAN: Thanks...see ya
DRILLERAA: The campaign was larger than even I suspected
SARGE: April Fools Joke?
MARGARET: Nice to see you...glad you made it before the end...
MICKEY-T: You won't have Vinny Bond to kick around any longer

ANON: If it really is...
STAR: Kind of you to say...

PHFRANKIE: The Tuneage will never die
BEE: Well, my dot.com is through Blogger...so...
SOUTHERN: it is?
SONGBIRD: What do you mean a Matt-Man?
TOPCHAMP: IF as!
If you hadn't just done a revamp a little bit ago I may have fallen for it-especially b/c I read via reader first thing in the morning when I'm still a bit fuzzy...
That wasn't funny.
:) OK...maybe a little funny...
You deserve to be sent to the dungeon for that!!! I nearly had a fool's fit here in Bloggingham.
Don't make me come over there!!
Bah!
Don't you ever do that again, Buster!!
You tell him, Queen Mimi!
MAGS: Just a little funny?
MIMI: I have a key for the dungeon...LOL...ah now Mimi...do what to you?
SONGBIRD: Don't encourage her...
LOL @ Dana
My first thought was riiiiiggghhht.
Smooch
Happy April Fools Day Bond!
Knitting...ROFLMAO. ;-)
So ... wanna write posts for my blog now? I am willing to sacrifice my good name and take all the blame for the schlock you have been churning out. LMAO - you TURD! You had me going for a fraction of a minute.
You still here Vinny?
I basically believe nothing I read today...
including this.
(side chairs to the couch...PERFECT!)
TURNBABY: Good first thought....maybe...SMOOCH
TUG: Ya like the knitting idea? I do a cap to keep you warm next winter in NY Yankee colors!
COCO: Sure I guess I can ghost write for your site...a fraction?
JAY: Nope
KATHERINE: Nothing at all? Not a word?
Oh man, I fell for it! I'm glad I read everybody else's comment before I reacted, sobbing and screaming! I was about to write to Blogger and give them a piece of my mind (not that I have much to give...)Whew! See ya tomorrow, Vinny! :)
MARY: I am not sure why you think it is fake.....
Great music. I'm not sure what all these people are writing about, do you mean we're supposed to read the posts too, I just thought it was to listen to the music.
Ppppppppppfffffffftttttttttttt!
I believe everything i read...and I started writing just to be like you....Now you're gone forever?
I'll check in with you tomorrow..
nahhh - I think I can manage to churn out my own schlock - yours is too hi-tech for my lowly site. Thanks anyway ...
You had me for not one second! Bahahahhahaha! Like they would ever get rid of you! :D
