Hello Wild Riders! It’s time for another virtual blog party where you can Use Me and Abuse Me. Bring a link from ONE of your blog posts and paste it in my comment section. Then the party begins! Click on a few links and mingle. Say hello to the guests. There are always new faces in the crowd.
Feel free to leave a hook with your link, so the guests know what your post is about. Click on a few and tell them, “Susie sent me.” They should click back to your place. You could “pick up” a few new subscribers.
Don’t leave a link and run home. Make sure to stay a while and meet my friends.
The bar is open and the buffet is loaded down. Everything is virtual, so go ahead and INDULGE!
DJ Chuck Shadow AKA Kelly Lindau is IN THE HOUSE! Stand up and DANCE!
Susie Lindau's Wild Ride 
I debated leaving something racy and playful or maybe just a bit silly, but decided to go with something that’s a bit deeper. I decided to bring the importance of winning and losing along with some thoughts on technology and social media. Can’t wait to enjoy the other party goers. 🙂 https://theinnerwildkat.wordpress.com/2014/07/14/winners-losers-technology-and-life/

Yay. I let my son pick one randomly. I like this one as it’s not my usual snark. The story is drawn from different events that I’ve been a part of, but isn’t necessarily non-fiction since I’ve added some filler where my memory failed me, if that makes sense. http://donofalltrades.com/2014/01/25/grease/

My dearest Susie, you look fabulous in your beach white and of course the hat. Although I have to stay away from the sun AND most devastating, alcohol, while I am on my antibiotics – I wanted to come party with you and your friends. There are no instructions limiting my dancing so I’m game.
I may have already brought this post to a previous party, I don’t remember – now that I’m 50. I’m sharing the one about what souvenir to bring back for your husband after traveling without him. Of course, it’s always about the sexy cha-chis. 🙂
