Strange coincidences. Also strange how you didn't post how they WEREN'T alike. It wouldn't seem that strange if you also put how they were different.
Wow that is soo weird!!! I read that to my mom that is soo cool! I love this post! Umm okay counter. Well sign up click on layout. Then click on add page element click on add script. Copy paste the script from the counter into the little box. Than click save changes. If that doesn't help don't know what else would. Feel free to ask questions though. Can I add you to my blogger list? You write awesome posts by the way! I also want other people to read this post. I don't want to copy you. So could I make a post and tell people to look at this post on your blog?
Hey, Hannah! Thanks so much for commenting! I appreciate it. I still didn't find how to put it on. I didn't see add script on page elements. And what code to I copy? I don't see it anywhere. Sure, you can add me to your list. I don't mind if you copy me, but you can just tell people too if you want.
I run out of ideas fast, so I have to write every few days. I love your blog, too. Do you have any other ideas for writing?
Hmm ask ZuZu. Thats all I have to tell you. I know how but I can't explain it.
I find that very interesting. Thanks for posting! Your comparisons appear to be incredibly accurate. One correction, however: the whole secretary similarity appears to be an urban legend. See this source:
