Before I begin: I was thinking that this reader person is someone I know, so thanks for suggesting that and solidifying it in my mind Lisa. Thanks to the rest of you for pointing out reader's lack of intellect as well. :-)
Now, to make myself feel good - I have to tell a story that allows me to brag a little... Last week I was singing at a large Baptist church - you could've easily fit 800 people in there, though there weren't that many in attendance. I showed up early and went back to talk to the sound guy, who upon my walking up to him said, "Your mic is the one over by the piano." Although the space was rather loud, I do tend to have an aversion toward mics, so I asked him if the piano was miced, as I wanted to see how the sound was without amplification.
Well, this guy gives me a look as if to say, "Honey, there ain't no way you're loud enough for that," and he does actually say, "Uh, you're gonna want a mic." I just replied that I'd like to try it without, trying not to get irritated with the guy as I knew he was used to people who couldn't sing, rock n' roll church, and that sort of stuff.
So, we run through the first number, I yell back to ask how it sounded and sound guy asks the accompanist, "Are you playin' soft? If you're playin' soft and don't get any louder, then you're Ok." Well, the accompanist wasn't playing soft, and I had to try pretty hard not to gloat. :-)
That's all for now!

You rock! That's all I'm gonna say. :-D
The only setting where being a loud mouth is acceptable.
That's great! You can gloat all you want to your proud friends.
hahaha. and "a reader".
(yes, it's really me).
Agreed, Martha. (If that is your real name.) No one likes to hear about Vicki's accomplishments more than her anonymous heckler.
Viki! Congrats, I would gloat too :)
Reader is still spelling your name incorrectly.
You called me out. My name's not Martha. My real name is Tiffany and I put out a pseudo name to trick all the anonymous people heckling my friends. oops. now you know my secret. I'm not anonymous anymore.
If you don't want to read what's going on in VIKI's life on HER blog, then why do you put forth the effort to read and comment?
Yes!! Good Job!!! Oh, how I wish someone could record/film you when you sing in one of these churches. Then we could use youtube to share!
Someone has hacked my account I think and posted a comment in your last blog about Trey. What's scary is that the link for the name lisa went to MY profile. I changed my password, and I'm hoping that works, but I wanted to make sure I let you know that someone else is posting comments from my name in case they say something rude. I'm hoping I fixed the problem with my new superlong password.
Oh, and I forgot to say Yay Viki!
Ha ha - got "a reader" with the comment moderation. :-)
I'm sorry y'all are having problems with hackers...
That last comment from "Lisa" was NOT me.....grrrrr...whoever the frick that is- STOP IT!
Okay, this is a test post. I changed my "post" name to LisaMarie. I want to see if the person can mimic this. I changed the password BEFORE they posted the "yay Viki" comment. So that kinda freaks me out. And this is the REAL Lisa, because I know that you put your butt through the wall in our house in college and covered it with a poster. HA! :)
Of course you were wonderful! I could have told anyone that!
As to the rest of the comments, I am soooooo confused! I don't know who is who anymore! Can everyone please go back to posting with your real names?
This whole thing is bizzare - I hope all y'all get your stuff straightened out so you can actually post as yourself. Have y'all reported the incidents to blogger?
I'd totally forgotten about the butt in the wall thing :-)
Okay, I think I figured out how someone mimicked my comments. If you leave a comment as "other" instead of using your account, you can use any name and website you want. I guess including someone's profile. So, whatever. I guess my superlong password is safe.
Interesting. Thanks for the sleuthing, Lisa. I wouldn't have had the time to figure that out.
Now we ALL know about Viki's butt in the wall....
Viki, you need to turn off anonymous posters. You can't allow them if you want only the real people to be able to post. What the "fake" Lisa wrote about posting as an "other" is true. But if you don't allow anonymous posts, then they can't "hack" us. So I guess it's not a password thing. And to the jerk who posted as me leaving that snotty comment about my password....F*** YOU! Ps. 1320 Honeys....it's the REAL me!
Oh, and the last part of their fake comment is totally not me. I'd never use the words "So, whatever". At least learn how to really mimic ppl! (Go Flyers!)
Ok, so someone needs to tell me how to not allow anonymous people. I tried all day yesterday and couldn't figure out how to do it...I swear it wasn't in the setting section under posts like everything else was. That's why I went with comment moderation...
Click on Settings, then Comments, then under Who Can Comment? choose Only Registered Users. That should do it.
Wow, I can't believe all this craziness about comments.
Thanks Lisa :-) Yeah, this is crazy...
I feel like we are all having out of body experiences....
Justin
Dude this is really, really strange. I don't know who is real anymore. And furthermore, why would anyone screw around like this in the first place unless they are incredibly childish?
All I can say is wow.
