It’s that time of week to talk about what’s in my craw. Let’s get started.
I save some of the noteworthy comments I receive on my various posts/reviews.
I get AWESOME comments.
And I get NOT-AWESOME comments.
Let’s do some of the NOT-AWESOME comments first:
1. “Take better pictures and know your audience as you strike out quite often”…. “You’re just an a-hole and everyone knows. Best of luck with that. Do better.”
2. “I know this isn’t an airline so I don’t need to announce my departure, but this review is why I’m not following you anymore. You gave them free advertising for sh**** [edited] food, sh**** [edited] wait, and not being a Kansas thing. This makes you a hack. Enjoy the free fuc**** [edited] food you get you hack.”
3. “Sounds like your ultimate favorite meal is dopamine.
How do you ” promote ” small businesses if you are criticizing their food?”
4. “I was thinking you were Roger Cornish, but he’s dead. Roger Cornish is the creepiest person I’ve met on in person.”
5. “2 tacos? Come on that’s a lot of food fat ass.”
6. “Can’t wait to hear his thoughts on the bbq sauce at McDonald’s.”
7. “I quit following hom [sic] for a reason…lol.”
8. “The food “slaps”. What are you 14 years old?”
9. “Your reviews are ass, you have a baby pallet and a dead body personality.”
10. “Everyone knows it’s yours. Just like your reviews, that “sculpture” can go straight up your….”
AND MY AWESOME COMMENTS OR SHARES (not all):
1. “I wanted to send a heartfelt Thank You to TKG for his mention of my business. Since that happened I’ve had organizers reach out to me and extend invites to their events. My heart is full.”
2. “You have no idea what you stopping by and sharing your experience means to the lives you touched without even knowing it!!!!”
3. “today we have clients from you…thanks you.”
4. “We got some serious love from The Kansas Gastronomist! I’m smiling REAL big! I had no idea my table of hungry fellas were foodies!”
5. “Did you see this shout out Sunday? We are just giddy! small business owners, great press can really make a difference in our success. If we had an official fan club, we would vote TKG for president!”
6. “We’ve had about 10 people today from your review the most ever. My son has been glowing all day. It’s truly amazing to see his smile again it’s been a long time. That alone is worth every thing.”
So…what’s in my craw? Nothing. I guess this is all part of the game.
Sometimes I just want to say “I’m over it.” You have to remember I do this for fun — not for income. But one of the many things that keeps me going are those peeps that think this blog did something worthwhile. And sometimes what also keeps me going is matching wits with the Negative Nancy’s.
And maybe that is all that matters.
