>Gracie,
Site registrations with search engines, Yahoo, "of the day" sites, award sites, review sites, magazine sites, shopping directories, mental health directories, link exchanges, banner exchanges and anywhere else folks will give us a link just so we will go away.
There are sometimes ways to use high-traffic sites like that to get web traffic to your own site. For example, perhaps sell some stuff on eBay and provide links to the Sigh Co. site through the eBay auctions we run.
A mailing list where people could subscribe/unsubscribe to would also come in handy for traffic building. They are a piece of cake to set up. No spam mail though. We wouldn't wanna do that. The list can be used to announce products, specials, news, services, happenings, etc.
There are lots of other things we could do as well to get visitors and then keep them coming back to hang out. Lumping games, Lumping polls and voting, Interactive Lumping Stories updated news from the world of Lumping, a Lumping FAQ, Lumping quizes, and on and on.
We could publish a Lumping calender for 2001 featuring select citizens of Lumptonia doin' what they do best: Lumping in their native habitats. Fill it full of lore about the wonders of Lumping, Lumping tips, Lumping recipes, Lumping history.
Work a deal with one of the online/TV shopping networks to push some of our stuff. In time we might even get on cable with our own Lumping Channel!
We could start with a web cam site provide someone around here would like to be an internet star. They could be seen by millions selling lump baskets online from the couch in their blanky.
Imagine sort of a Lumping version of Martha, sharing Lumping tips with visitors, whippin' up fine Lumping dishes. Shoot, people might even pay to see that.
In other words, do basically anything short of the obscene (and perhaps a little of it too) to get noticed, build traffic and make the shit out of money.
Of course there is one small snag...doing all of this would require ACTUAL rather than imagined effort by the participants in Sigh Co.
BTW, I think your list would be great to market with!

Dear Mashing Crass,
Getting to the actual might not be so hard. Given the costs of lumping, such as insurance restrictions, HMO's, cost of meds, cost of supplies (chocolate ain't cheap), I suspect that Lumptonians would ACTUALLY do something to gain continued support for the lifestyle for which they've become accustomed. And, what about those formatted nubile slaves? Can't they be utilized?
Perhaps SO's and WH's could also be enlisted? I will volunteer my WH!

My Precious Sterling Couch Person Extraordinaire,
You are SOOOOOOOOOOOO right your Whipness! We Lumptonians have a high standard of living to maintain. We should follow our Lumptonian code of honor and "Think not what we can do for ourselves, but what we can get our SOs and others to do". After all there is nothing we wouldn't do for them, ...and we're gonna keep on doin' it!
BTW, methinks me would like this nasty Crassy Mashy stuff to disappear hence and forthwith lest it become a permanent attachment to his Ambassadorship truly! Intercourseth that execrement! For on that fateful day, ourselfeth would be up that legendary tributary withouteth any visible means of navigation.
Your adoring Ambassador,
B

I will volunteer for a lump cam. It could zoom on my living room which has--sofa with three blankies at this time, tv at far end, hassock near one end of the sofa with a box of papers (bills to pay, insurance forms, etc.) on top to keep the Collie off the sofa, next to the hassock a tv-tray kind of thing with 4 empty Dannon water bottles on it and one coffee cup, and some paper on it also, and cigs. Round coffee table made of nice wood which you can't see because it is totally covered with papers in stacks, tv remote.
Other end of sofa, entryway for lumping, and trash can (med. size) that can block the entryway when I'm gone so Collie doesn't get on sofa.
Two book cases, with paper stacks, no books, dog toys, dog brushes/combs/grooming stuff, two Elizabethan collars under coffee table (if one dog has to wear one, the other dog wants one also), bitter apple spray, one pair of slippers (fuzzy fleecy kind). Two huge dog pillows on the rest of the living room floor. One leather chair that matches the hassock, with a handmade blue afghan on it. Table by chair has decorative box, dried flowers, unused mail sorter.
Cam would just show me wrapped up in blankie or two, nose and eyes showing, one hand out holding remote. Dogs might drop in and visit (sit by sofa to get petted).
I think it would be a very realistic view of Lumps.
Former HC, now Citizen Shar (but you can call me Rosebud)
P.S. Is CPE really liking this whip thing a whole lot??

Well I for one would be happy to work during manic cycles. Since I started spending time at this website, my husband refers to the computer as the MMM...manic meeting machine. Sometimes, in a fit of glee, he refers to it as MMMM...maladjusted manic meeting machine. Wouldn't I be proud to say, "This is now the manic MONEY-MAKING machine, you hoosier."

> GracieGracie baby,
Fret not so much. Although we will all have to donate what we are able, we have a possible solution for dilemmas which might arise for those times when we are simply "not up to it" due to our Lumptonian frailties.
In the internet biz it is called "Raid-5 Redundant Backup". All we need is a commitment from the ones of us involved with such as Sigh Co.'s hopeful endeavors, to be willing to "back up" or fill in for any ones who may not be up to doing an assigned duty.
This will be no easy commitment given that we would be lending ourselves to a form of mutual support which, in light of our experiential perspective, is so far from our mainstream.
Yet, in spite of the ups and downs, insides and outs of our existences, does not the same endow us with a few special gifts and thus opportunities? And are not these gifts we possess but ones which we have paid and do pay for, ones which come at great cost to ourselves and ones worth advocating?
What and when will we get for what we've paid? Is it not worth contributing a small amount more in order to secure our previous investment? Is it not worth making the shit out of money?
Long live Lumptonia!!!
Your doting Ambassador,
B

Dear Kath,
Check the archives for the October period, under the thread of Our Significant Others - Lump is mentioned in for the first time in my post of 11/2. The genesis is that concerning the first major depressive episode I experienced, my wonderful husband( WH) refers to my "Lump person days." His phrase struck a resonant chord and Lumptonia was born.
As Constable of Lumptonia (also CPE - Couch Person Extraordinaire), there are very strict rules and regs for Lumptonia that everyone routinely ignores. I have no idea how I got to be Constable, other than I merely mentioned that I have a whip.
Your phrase "Puzzled. What fun; would like to understand" is pure Lumptonian, and on behalf of the Ambassador (although he goes by a variety of titles and I'm sure he must be in his cable-wired doghouse at the moment or he'd be greeting you himself), I would like to welcome you as a card-carrying member of Lumptonia.
You'll also find mentions of Lumptonia in other threads, such as the "Brick walls" thread, and it seems that Lumptonia is now part of the nomenclature.
As with the birth of any nation, we've experienced our birthing pains, and have had lively discussions on such crucial topics as our National Animal, National Anthem, proper intake of Nestle's Quik, dealing with Irritating Relative Syndrome (IRS), Sigh Co., which is all rather amazing since Lumptonians reside on the couch (commonly referred to as lumping) with our bankies and sacred pillows, and ignoring the world at-large.
Welcome!
Constable Sterling CPE

Thx for the very exciting info. I am honoured to be a card-carrying member.
Does sitting at the computer in my nightgown with chilly bare feet at 1:50 on a Sunday afternoon & not having even eaten breakfast or done my hair or washed off yesterday's mascara fit in with Lumptonian behaviour?
I'd love a personal greeting from the Ambassador
when he's available.In the meantime, sounds like I have a bit of searching & reading to do to update myself on the History of Lumptonia.
Thanks for the welcome!! Take care, Kath (I'll have to think up a suitable title for myself, but that might take a bit of time).
Hugs, Kath

Dear Kath,
Welcome!
"Does sitting at the computer in my nightgown with chilly bare feet at 1:50 on a Sunday afternoon & not having even eaten breakfast or done my hair or washed off yesterday's mascara fit in with Lumptonian behaviour?" Five out of the six behaviors are CLEARLY Lumptonian! The chilly feet, in my humble :::cough, choke, sputter::: opinion as Constable, is a violation of Lumptonian dress code. Fuzzy slippers or moccasins with holes in them are the preferred footwear. However, Lumptonians are a fractious group and anything is open to interpretation.
I wouldn't worry too much about the title. You're free to select your own title and change it as frequently as you desire, and other Lumptonians will also dub you with titles - just ask the Ambassador.
Undoubtedly, the A-man will greet you personally. He takes his Ambassadorial duties very seriously and even speaks in very Ambassadorial tones, especially when he wants out of the dog house.
Again, welcome to the couch!
Constable CPE

Of course, there's a perfectly rational explanation (or should that be rationalization???) for my horrific oversight (under sight, non-sight..)

I beg for your forgiveness. (Sheesh....siiiiiiiiiigh)... I'm not nearly as good about getting out of the doghouse as the A-man. I suppose I could suggest that I flog myself with my own whip... ahhh.... nah.
Now, about this "so little credit due" stuff... I heartily take exception to that characterization. You are an inspiration to me.

Along with my beloved Whipness, Sterling CPE, and on behalf of our partially upright citizens let me say...Welcome to Lumptonia!
Indeed (((((Sweet Kath))))), Welcome Home!!
Rest assured, the behavior you've so eloquently described is truly Lumptonian. It is obvious (((((Sweet Kath))))), you are one of our little lost sheep now returned to the flock. This always thrills the Ambassador, especially when it is a little girl sheep!
The Ambassador would like to mention he particularly enjoyed the delicious description of your nightgown and bare feet (((((Sweet Kath))))). If you wish, he would be MOST pleased if you were to continue!
As you peruse The Lumptonian Chronicles you will learn about your people, your nation and your heritage. You will learn about our institutions, our ways, our language and our customs. Best of all, (((((Sweet Kath))))) you will learn about the special service available for Lumptonian females.
(((((Sweet Kath))))), we hope you come to love Lumptonia and her people as much as we do.
At your service,
Ambassador B of Lumptonia

Dearest Sterling Whipness,
There you go...using the "C" word. Is it no wonder the poor Ambassador feels soooooo confused and misunderstood.
Nevertheless, he would prefer not to taste the hot sting of your leather in this particular instance SO... (small paws)
ONCE AGAIN, the Ambassador apologizes if he possibly failed to express his MOST noble intentions to our new sheepess as well as perhaps he might have.
The Ambassador will try to make it up to her with some hugging!
Sincerely Your Little Puppy Paws,

Whereas, The Rosebud, being overly sensitive and always ready to interpret remarks as cruel or insensitive (as any good depressive will),
and
whereas, The Rosebud was shouted at to LIGHTEN UP in a previous thread,
and
whereas, The Rosebud has been told she has thorns,
it is necessary for The Rosebud to insert her head in the sand (actually, under her favorite blankie) so as not to hear anymore vituperative and vicious attacks on her person, and practice some snappy comebacks, while sniffling about why nobody likes her.Very hurtly and sssiiiggghhhingly yours,

Poor Rosebud,
I like you (or whatever THAT'S worth)! I think you are adorable and have a giant brain as well. I agree with The Whip that I could never have thought of a company name as clever as yours. Shoot, anyone would agree with that.
I'll say some more nice stuff to you if it'll make you feel better. It's awful when perfectly good lumping gets spoiled by the sniffles.
Your doting Ambassador,
B

Dearest darling Rosebud,
:::::furiously digging under the bankie to find you::::: I think you're terrific!
I sincerely apologize for not being clearer that I truly believe thorns are healthy!!!!!!!
Not only did I make a mistake in miscrediting the name of the company to our miscreating Ambassador, but I did so with a new Lumptonian person!!!! Ughhh.
Now, I will flog myself with my whip, deservedly so...
