Among the colourful conversations during last Saturday’s DP Drinks, was the question posed to me:
“How do you get through everyone’s FYBF posts?”
The answer is simple.
Friday nights are declared a “Bow Chica Bow Wow Free Zone”
Yes, that’s right. No hanky panky allowed.
From around 8pm onwards it’s just the laptop and you lot keeping me company. You, dear floggers, are my upmost priority.
When Mr Surfer starts fluttering his “Come hitherto our master chamber” eyes, he flatly gets the “Sssh, not now. I’m flogging” palm.
He can beg and plead for some weekend bedroom lovin’. Instead, I’m spreadin’ the comment lovin’ on your week’s favourite or most popular post.
See the sacrifices I make???
You’re welcome.
Start flogging yo!
P.S Before you think I’m a heartless wife, Mr Surfer makes a payback come Friday Night Footy season. Guess who misses out on some jiggy jig then?
P.P.S Don’t forget the Power of Four. Not only will you get to know your floggy neighbours but I’m allowing you extra time for some bedroom action. Again. You’re welcome.
P.P.S Stories of copulation (or lack thereof) in this blog are posted with prior consensus from the other involving party. In fact, he insisted that I mention Friday Night Footy.
1. Follow With Some Grace.
2. Sign up to the awesome Digital Parents community ( if you haven’t already done so). DP was created by Brenda Gaddi who happens to be the creator of FYBF. She’s also created 4 gorgeous kidlets. In case you’d like to know. Or maybe not. But we’ll share that info just the same.
3. Add your post URL to the linky. Please only link up one post.
4. Grab the funky FYBF button and post it on your sidebar. Help spread the blogfloggin love.
5. Visit the blogs of your fellow FYBF’ers and share the comment love.
6. Share some more comment love. It’s proven to make your wrinkles disappear…overnight. #truth
That’s dedication! I still don’t know how you do it though, I go cross-eyed after a while. It is so massively appreciated through. Before I found FYBF and IBOT I faffed about with some other blog hops and didn’t get any comments at all – spreading the love is what makes it such a special community.

Still rather new to blogging myself and still trying to work out how to grab your button. My hubby vowed at our wedding to cook, clean and slave after me, I vowed to allow him to and to take more of an interest in football. Currently I’m the only one not holding up my end of the bargain. lol If I redid our vows now, I’m sure there would be an online element. xx

I’m with Catherine, not sure how you get through what you do. Love the Friday flog – cheers loads for hosting.
Kevin recently posted..Caught My Eye Friday – honest, awesome and anti-women
A thanks for hosting from me too. Good morning!! I’m whizzing off for the weekend with no laptop so won’t get to read as many as I usually do. But your rule of 4 made a big impression and I just don’t join a linky if I am not able to visit at least those four. That’s my absolute minimum. AND a wee personal rule is to visit two posts per blog, not just to whizz, comment and run.
Treating others….

You can’t get down with your husband because you’re too busy flogging… is that a euphemism? 😉
Kelly HTandT recently posted..Can a man and a woman be friends?
HA! I love your moto Grace. Mr D still looks at me like I’m some kinda wierdo when I”m stuck behind the laptop screen on a Friday night telling him “I’m blog flogging!! – and I need at least a couple of hours”! Look forward to catching up with you all this evening. HAPPY FRIDAY xx

I admire your dedication!
I always try to visit at least 4 blogs on a Friday (though not always necessarily on my row), and a lot of housework and study sits idle on these days!
Annie recently posted..Romantic Camping. Is that even possible?
The supreme sacrifice! Thanks Grace.
I’m about to become a football widow too. I guess that’ll be a bloggy benefit this year – I’ll have something to do while I sit on the couch not watching to footy! 🙂

Well, a lady’s got to do what a lady’s got a do! Lucky my husband doesn’t watch footy, just tennis on the iPad after I’m in bed 🙂

Aw, poor Mr Surfer! Maybe he should get in on the flogging and help you with your commenting, then he might get even luckier! Lol!

What tolerant husbands we bloggers have. Boatman knows that come Tuesday nights, he might as well just go fishing cause I will be other wise engaged!!
EssentiallyJess recently posted..Feb Fast Part Two: Responsibility
I do my commenting in bed while watching telly, before or after the jiggy part – I like sex more than I like the people in my computer (sorry guys) which is why it takes me all week to get through the floggers, flashers, IBOTs and other linkys. But that’s good I think, it means more regular visits rather than huge one day spikes – I give bloggy love all week, not just one day xx

Ah, dear Grace. I always knew you went above and beyond for us, but this?! WOW! Pending sainthood!

Hi Grace,
That gave me a good giggle. Ahh the things we do…
Thanks for adding about the power of four – as a newbie I hadn’t seen that before. It’s a great idea.
Cheers, Kate

There is no copulation in my post today, apologies for that but I am glad to know that we are what’s on your hot little mind come Friday nights! Flog on, Sista! xx
Oh Grace, too funny – the “flogging palm” reference is used in its singular meaning of course?
We floggers thank you very much for Mr Surfer’s sacrifice! xx

Haha you are too funny! Such dedication though – there are 102 posts there now. I’m not sure I could read them all! It is much appreciated. I know that I appreciate each and every comment I might get on my blog posts. I have linked up late this week! I was packing, cleaning, unpacking, washing etc on Friday! About to read and comment on at least four now 🙂 xo
