Fear not, dear lurkers, because we too are fascinated with the same kinky subjects that brought you here. Better still, today is your day! It's Love Our Lurkers Day. This is your opportunity to poke your head up just enough to say hello. Since you and good people like you constitute more than half of our readership, we bloggers are curious about you.
We're glad that you're here and don't mind you reading anything you like. But if you could write a short introductory comment, that would be simply fantastic. If you will, please tell us your name (it doesn't have to be your REAL name), the part of the world where you live, and maybe a little bit about your spanking interest.
This LOL Day 7 is a big deal. Just look at who all is participating!

Yay! I'm number one! Not a lurker by any means, but a firm friend and devoted spankophile. LOL 7 will be the biggest and best celebration ever!
Hugs,
Hermione
Former lurker checks in.
I send you an email too to be added. I have already written the post, just not published yet. So excited!
Hi bonnie,
I don't comment much but I've been lurking since you started your blog and left a few comments. Thought I'd peak my head out and say hi! :)
We participated in LOL day too! It's a really great idea.

Hi mane name is Annie. I have been married twenty five years and have four teens. I read a couple blogs about six months ago and brought the spanking discussion to my hubby. I wish I had sensed how much I needed it years ago, but its never to late. Although sex has always been amazing, somehtthing about getting spanked first and then sex brings it to a whole different level. Its beyond anything i could have ever dreamed of. Although still in the starter phase it has even helped with pre menapause which at 45 Im sure its on its way. The days when after working ten hours and coming home to all the teen drama 13 to 19 year olds have drama everyday its great to know I can put myself in his hands and within twenty minutes Im as calm as if the day just started. I want to thank you all for the wonderful blogs that you have gifted to the world and to me. It has brought such peace to my crazy life and I wil be forever grateful. I live in Ct by the ocean and we have had a rocky ride the last two weeks. First a hurricane and then a noreaster today, but we are all safe happy and healthy and so very grateful that we didn't lose everything like so many have. Again thank you to you all for your gifts. Annie
I was once a lurker. Now I'm occasionally a lurker in that I don't always leave comments but I read your blog every week! I'm getting ready to do my LOL post as well! Thanks for everything you do for this community Bonnie!
Former lurker, new blogger. I have been lurking yours and other blogs like yours for a while and just recently entered a DD/TTWD relationship with my husband of 13 yrs. and we decided that I should try to connect with others in this lifestyle. Thanks for all the info you have shared along the way
I was once a lurker...now a blogger. I didn't even know the Dd life I am now living existed last year and now I blog about and am encouraging lurkers out of the shadows! Life is so amazing at times isn't it?
Thanks again for everything Bonnie!
Thank you Bonnie. This is my first LOL as a blogger.
MarQe's Study once again thanks Bonnie for all her magnificent efforts xxx
So happy to see that you are doing this again Bonnie! We are following your great lead and adding our blog again! http://theroadofsensuality.blogspot.ca/2012/11/love-our-lurkers-7.html
Love you, Bonnie! Happy LOL 7.
Thanks Bonnie. I have a post set to go up to participate. Thank you and take care.
Happy LOL day, Bonnie!
Thank you again for starting the wonderful tradition!
Always here Bonnie! And thank you so much for getting everything organized each year.
Hugs,
PK
Hi
Thanks for organising this annual event. I am there as well.
Michael
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie! Lurker delurking, although I've commented here once, or maybe twice.
My about me: I'm from the midwest USA, recently retired, have a couple tween children still at home, and my adult daughters have given me several wonderful grandbabies. I'm divorced, but my high school best friend-turned-sweetheart came looking for me after his marriage ended, and I moved to his state about a year later. I've been with my darlin' D for two years now, and plan to live out rest of my life with the love of my life the way I was destined to do from the beginning.
My spanking interest is simple: I like it! ;-) The incorporation of that interest is complicated, but we'll get rid of our ugly baggage some day. Meanwhile, we're together, working on healing from almost 30 years apart, spent with people not good for our souls.
I lurk, and comment/participate iin ttwd land for the affinity, understanding, camaraderie, and sheer fun I have with the friends I've made. It does my heart good to be a part of this group of people who are accepting, open and honest (in an anonymous way! Lol!) about their kinks, and are so willing to share their most personal lives with each other, and the rest of us. It's inspiring and relaxing, thought-provoking and encouraging.
Thanks for all you do to sustain, encourage and inspire this community, Bonnie. We love you!
Irishey
Bonnie, I spend so much time reading here and never saying anything that I think I qualify as an MBS lurker!
Thank you so much for organizing this - I know it's crazy to keep up with - but how amazing to watch it grow over the years!
Bonnie, this is such a nice idea! I see you've gotten a couple introductions already from lurkers which is great! :)
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie. We congratulate you on once again bringing our community together in a show of friendship and fun. You are a queen in our community standing tall and drawing people near. And if part of the reason you are standing is Randy just paddled your bottom all the better.
Season & Michael
Waking up, with only one thought in my mind.
Send an email to Bonnie that my LOL day post is up since Midnight Dutch time.
To late.
She already has me in her list.
Should have known that!
Nobody is faster than Bonnie.
Congratulations on your very own Global Holiday.
First time commenting here and a little while as a lurker. It only seems right that today should be the day to comment as well as join in.
I am from the UK and am reasonably new with all of this and only just learning the joy of spanking.
Thank you for organising the day and everything you do for this community.
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie.
Love,
Ronnie

And you can add me too on your list, dear Bonnie...
This is the first time for Peach's Corner to participate in LOL Day. I have a special present for everyone! Thank you Bonnie.

Nothing like being late to the party!

I love your blog! I've been lurking for awhile now. What has happened to Poppy and Kitty?
Thank you for today Bonnie! I'm already enjoying wandering around the world seeing everybody's posts. Thanks for all you do for us!
Thanks for starting this.
:)
Hi Bonnie, I remember when I did lurk and I remember your friendly challenge to come out of hiding.Thank you and look at me now!
And look at you! Great job!
Mick
We are Bogey and Bacall. Our home is in the southern US. We travel about half the year. We are exclusively into erotic spanking and spank each other frequently.
Happy LOL to you. And please check your inbox when LOL dies down.
Thanks bonnie! You eez amazing!! And great job on getting a couple of people to de-lurk already!
Happy LOL day!
I do occasionally come by and lurk...Though I have become quite terrible at staying quiet around Blogland.
Really, I just wanted to say thank you. Because everyone loves the day we get to love our lurkers special!
Congratulations Bonnie its only a year since we jumped over the fence but its been the best year ever,I got spanked this morning for been slow out of bed,I was just having a duvet moment when whack whack whack teehee david.
Thank you Bonnie for setting this day up for our Lurkers. I know that I was one for a long time and you made me feel welcome to comment on this special day.
Happy LOL Day! Glad to be a part of it.
Bonnie, thanks for another great event!
As usual, I have also set up a little LoL post :)
Cheers
Chross
To my dear friend Bonnie, Happy Lurker's Day.
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie and thanks for starting it. I enjoy your blog but on comment on occasion.
Thank you, Bonnie. Happy LOL Day!
Happy LOL day!!!!!
Geeze, it's barely sun up and already I feel like a late riser. Anyway, great job with LOL 7, and LOL itself, Bonnie! The blogosphere owes you big time.
Hugs,
Dev
Thanks again Bonnie for starting LOL day. I've told you before you are the Godmother of our community. LOL day is the reason I stopped lurking and that changed my life. I've already posted on my blog about LOL day. And welcome to all the lurkers and I hope they will say hello.
FD
Happy LOL day and thank you for your blog! I found your site a few months ago and through it a number of others that I now read regularly. Have learned a lot, shocked my husband, and made some changes that have made us both happier.
Take care,
B.
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie. I remember my first invitation to participate, back in 2008. You are such a gracious hostess. Happy spankings to you!
maryann
Happy LOL day, and thanks for reminding the TTWD community about it. I had forgotten, and sim ply copied most of what you stated as a post (hope you don't mind)
bottoms up
Red
OK - so not a lurker as I have commented, but I read more than I comment. Thank you for including me, I do appreciate it.
Im not a lurker, but thaks for everything you do for the blogging community, and happy LOL day! I forgot to email you earlier to let you know i'd be participating, but I have an LOL post up as well. :)
I am in the process of posting a LOL7 on my bloggy thing too. I too have "borrowed" a lot of your post. thanks!
Just posted the LOL Day post on A Domestic Discipline Society!
Hello. I wish I had participated in your LOL day on my blog but my Master is away for a few days and He approves of all the posts so by the time He comes back, it would be too late. Anyway, this gives me an opportunity to tell you that I <3 bottomsmarts and, yes, this is the first time I comment here !!! Have a good LOL day.
S.
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie! :-) Thank you very much for organizing this special event again this year. I cross my fingers that many bloggers and readers are going to participate. We already have quite many comments on Ludwig's Rohrstock-Palast, but it isn't clear yet who will be on the receiving end of this year's LOL Day spanking. It definitely seems that we will collect rather many strokes, though! ;-)
It's a long, long time since I've lurked here but was a lurker here once. Happy LOL day and thanks for all the effort of organizing all this, it is appreciated.
Prefectdt
Me Too!
Emanuele
Happy LoL day!! It seems like it just gets bigger and bigger each year. I've been reading your blog a lot in the past year, and just struggle to comment, I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just shy about posting on other people's blogs!
Have just posted my own LoL post on my blog over at http://www.nimuesworld.com/blogs/?p=1294
I'm in there too, Bonnie AND I'm giving away 3 free books, so come take a look at www.disciplinarytales.blogspot.com.
Happy LOL Day!!! Thanks for all you do! This is my very first LOL :) Thank you again!
Belle:)
Thank you Bonnie for all that you do for the spanking community. Sponsoring events like this, maintaining the most complete blogroll out there, promoting new blogs and bloggers on a regular basis. We should call you "Saint Bonnie". Not that I'm saying you don't deserve to be spanked.
Karl Friedrich Gauss
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie, and count my blog in, too!

gustofur here in So Cal, a real delurker. Too old for physical participation. Re-living the memories through some fabulous blogs.
Ouch! Oh Bonnie! Yes, you've done it again! Yes, Love Our Lurkers day is in full swing again. Thanks for organising it for us.
And thank you for the "My Bottom Smarts" blog - still homely, warm and welcoming.
Ok, you got me. I never consider myself a lurker, but I guess I was. I visit Heart and Soul all the time and sometimes I would visit her blog roll, which would lead me here... Today I have become a follower, no more lurking. Ok, I will say hello now and then.. hehe ..
Hello,
1ManView
i enjoy that you post all the blogs. I admit i do not leave a comment on most sites, but i do want you to know that i do appreciate all your links and how you have them organized. Thank you
Jim
Thanks for doing this Bonnie! Happy LOL Day!!!
Thank you for LOL Day, Bonnie. I lurk a lot and comment on only a few blogs, but fully appreciate the openess of those who write here.
Happy happy happiest of LOL Days Bonnie!
I'm not the total unknown lurker : ) I pop out once in a while. Anyway, happy lurker day!!
I'm going to post about your good idea Bonnie
Cheers!!
My name is George and I live in the Southwest part of the USA. I have been married to the same great woman for over three decades. I have been a lurker for about four years and this is the first time I have ever written. I asked my wife to spank me a couple of years after we were married. Turns out she enjoyed it and since then she has been spanking me off and on for most of our marriage. The majority of the spankings I get are for fun or stress relief (hers and mine). However, occasionally she will get upset with me and I get a punishment spanking. Our kids are grown and out of the house, so I am spanked on average about every three or four weeks. I really appreciate the community of blogs and although I have no blog of my own, it is great to read about folks who share the same feelings. Thank you Bonnie for all you do.
Hi! I'm a lurker(with such lurkers guilt!) I read your blog every week and promised myself I would come out of hiding, at least for today. So hmmmm...I'm from the US, I've always been a spanko and when I find a new blog I like I always go all the way to the beginning in the archives and read every post. Thank you for your amazing blog.
-Caitlin
I was definitely a lurker in days gone by, many, many days!! am happy to be a part of this community now! Thanks Bonnie, and HAPPY LOL day.
Happy LOL Day Bonnie! I was definitely a lurker here for quite some time before I started commenting.
Thank you so much for organising this wonderful event, it has been a lot of fun :)
Thanks Bonnie! This is like a giant block party where I get to meet lots of new people and also spend time with friends I haven't visited lately.
Happy LOL day! As you ocan tell by the number of comments, you are a very much loved member of our blogging network!
hugs abby
I hope you appreciate what you have done here - it is pretty incredible. And there are not all that many corners of the internet where things are so nice and welcoming, and I know that you are a large part of that. Makes my little heart burst with joy.
:)
Hi, Bonnie! Thanks for coordinating this for everyone. I know I'm too late to officially participate this year, but unofficially I'm playing along as well. Maybe next year I'll get my act together and join in advance.
You do a great service for all of us by sponsoring this. Thanks again!
Thanks for adding me into the mix at the 11th hour, Bonnie, and the Happiest of LOL Days to you!
Looks like this tradition is getting bigger every year.
Thank you for having a day for us lurkers.
Moxi
Bonnie, today has been a fun day!! Thank you for ALL you do!!!!
Hi Bonnie,
I'm a male in my late 50's, living in the upper Midwest. I've been fascinated by spanking since I was a child and finally admitted my interest in ttwd to my fiancé before we were married (in the interest of being honest.) Although she doesn't enjoy spanking and doesn't understand my desires, she loves me enough to indulge me occasionally. I began as a switch, but after almost three decades of marriage my orientation is now primarily F/M. Now that we're empty-nesters I get paddled every one to two months, usually with a Jokari paddle.
I've been a lurker for about two years. It's only in the last couple of years that I've become comfortable with my spanking interests, and your blog has helped. Thank you for your welcoming comments and your wisdom.
Harperion
I make your blog a must read each week. I even comment some weeks. Be well and thaks for all you do to help us understand ttwd...
I've been lurking for about six months, and have never posted until now. I'm new to the lifestyle, but have managed to introduce it to my husband with good results so far. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you do!

I am a lurker that truly enjoys a good spanking. I have been happily married for 20 years to an incredible woman. Although she does not share my interest in spanking. I would really like to be spanked weekly but so far it is not part of our relationship. Maybe in the future.

Thanks for the welcome to my first LOL Day as a blogger Bonnie. And you're right, there was a fine group of commenters there on the blog! Everyone, like yourself, has been so very supportive the past few months! Plus I think I officially "de-lurked" on 20+ blogs listed at the top of this post! lol
Happy LOL Day! Friday is a tough day for us to find free time, so we're a little late here this time around... but for sure wanted to say hello.
:)
~Todd and Suzy
Sorry to be late to the party. We've been away for a few days and not been on-line! I was once a lurker but started posting a few comments and then started blogging and never looked back. Just wanted to join in the fun and say hi!
Joining in late myself as well, Bonnie. I saw I had new posts here and jumped in. I missed the big day, but count me in for being stripped and spanked! I already added one of the sites listed here!
