Regular followers and visitors to this site will know I'm using BLOGGERS WERE CHILDREN TOO! for my theme this year. I hope you're enjoying reading about bloggers, some you know and some you may not yet know, as they respond to some prompts I sent out. I've been so grateful for their responses as it helped me to get to know them better, admire their stunning cuteness as babes, and delighted me with random facts.
Thank you Adult Bloggers for your heartfelt responses. Thank you readers for visiting my posts. I hope you'll leave a comment and if you'd like to follow the link to my respondents' blogs they'd be delighted to meet you.

It's sad how many people were bullied in childhood.
Hello Ms Queenly,
I have always enjoyed your posts for the Romantic Friday challenges. You are a beautiful, multi-talented and creative person. Wishing you the best with your future endeavors. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Denise.
Another great profile! I love how you're featuring bloggers from different parts of the world, too.
I love the South, one of my fave places to travel.
Bullying is such a horrible thing - in adulthood as well as in children. (A classic example was the Rush Limbaugh flap) - but it looks as though Ms Queenly has turned it around and has dedicated herself to social justice and fighting such harmful behavior. Bravo!
Wow, what a story. There was a time you lived on the streets? Nice to meet a new blogger.
Queenly,
You and I grew up as neighbors...well sort of. I was born and raised in Carrollton only about 45 miles west of Atlanta.
Go, Queenly, GO!
Like Andy, I have enjoyed your posts on Fridays for the Romantic challenge. Like you, I was bullied a great deal. Childhood for many is too much like LORD OF THE FLIES. I spent 6 terrible weeks on the streets when six. My heart goes out to you for your time there. Roland
Bulllying can destory lives, it's good t see she's rising above the bullies and making a success of her ife.
Bullying is such a problem. Always with us. And now we have cyber bullying. It's wonderful to see how Ms Queenly turned it round. And living on the streets and surviving. What a story.
Roland it is unbelievable what happened to you. Your poor six year old heart must have been shattered.

Bullying is horrible - and I believe it's now rife on Facebook. Some kids can be so cruel .
Bullying is awful! I'm glad to really meet Ms. Queenly. Thanks, Sis, for reaching out to her. Lots of Q words, just not for old movies! I'm now going over to her blog.
