As of right now I have 12 reader mugshots to post. I’ve gotten a lot of response to the mugshot posts…. most of which is positive. There were 5 or 6 people who said that don’t care for it at all. They just want the funny stuff and don’t care about the personalities involved. And I understand that. Occasionally when I’m scouring my usual sites one might present a series of posts that I care nothing about… or don’t understand. But I understand that they have every right to post what they want on their site.
I also understand that the mugshot posts, although some are humorous… they drift away from the typical type of content usually found on B&P. For those who dislike them, I’d say that after today, the worst is probably over. I’ll still post them, but they’ll be shorter in length and probably appear less often. I might also create a page where they can be all posted together for those interested.
Occasionally I post about my visits to my aunt in Florida or our motorcycle trips. I know some could care less about stuff like that, but others enjoy reading it.
So, it’s up to the reader to decide whether it’s worth sticking around through some posts they don’t care for or decide not to come back again.
- When I go to a restaurant I don’t like everything on the menu
- I might buy a CD, but that doesn’t mean I love every song on it
- When I go to Six Flags I don’t ride every ride or see every show
I hope they find enough here to keep coming back, but if not no hard feelings here.
But I want to thank those that have participated in this little project. It makes it a little more interesting when you can put a face to the comments that are posted. I’m constantly amazed that people from all parts of the world read B&P. It makes the world seem just a little bit smaller. — Thanks again!
I like it all – the reader pics, your trips, the funny stuff, the serious stuff, the educational stuff, the sexy stuff, the political stuff, the Mary from Michigan stuff (Ooops – who stuck that in there)
Please don’t change a thing…if you do you won’t be B&P, you’ll just be another same old blog.
HEY!
It’s is your site and I don’t think anyone else here is putting time or cash into this little project.
You keep posting what you think you ought to post and most of us will keep coming back for more.
I happen to like your trips, and I like the mug shots, too. So far this whole thing has more or less been what you’ve wanted it to be, and look where it is now.
We even have our own internet codes and stuff.
Keep on keeping on, Jon!
I like the mugshots. But to be fair, whatever you post on a popular Internet site like this one, somebody, somewhere will feel the need to complain about it.

Hey, if somebody doesn’t care for a particular post, they can scroll right on past it. You’re doing fine.
I agree, it’s your blog, post what you want. People can skip over posts they don’t want to read.
I buy CD’s and of course I don’t like every song but the artists doesn’t ask me what song to put in it. Please don’t change anything. You must spend much time for this and I/we thank you.
I love everything you post ! Anyway,your site,your rules!!
Well, I suppose that’s why your site is called “Bits and Pieces”… You need all sorts of bits and pieces to create a world, don’t you? You may prefer some bits or some pieces, but that’s alright… Keep up the good work, Jonco!!
hey i liked the mug shots stuff. Thankx for posting mine my wife loved seeing it. Keep up the good work.
Its nice to keep a mental pic to go along with the people that make the comments,keep posting the pics
I’ve really enjoyed “meeting” some of the other Bits & Pieces readers out there. What a diverse group we are! This is a great blog and you’re doing a terrific job Jonco!
Mugshots are fun! AND it’s your blog Jonco. I feel bad I haven’t sent in a pic, but I don’t have any. Usually I’m on the other end of the camera. I don’t suppose anyone wants to see a pic of one of my fish, or my dogs, or my geriatric cat? Hey, I could take a pic of him right now, he’s purring on my desk while lampbathing?
I don’t post very often, but have been enjoying your site forever. Don’t change a thing. I scroll past what I don’t want to view, and stop on the items I like. IT’s like being in a “Free” country huh?
Keep up your stellar work!

Hear hear! I love your post and only rarely find stuff that doesn’t grab me. Mostly because it is a repost. Otherwise it is ALL awesome. I recognise the effort you put into all of it and like it for that as well.
We have been away for two days (MG car club rally) and have had no computer access.
You are the first place I went once the kids were in bed and I wouldn’t be interrupted!! I know it sounds stalker but we really missed you!!
xo
Post what you want. I love it all. I’ve been reading B & P and Little B & P forever and have commented occasionally but am kind of shy to put in a mugshot. Here’s a self portrait from the winter:

Come on Ana you can do it
Hey, you can’t please everyone. Your site is great. Keep it up.
Keep the mugshots coming! God forbid we should actually get to know people from all over the planet in this virtual setting!
To those who don’t like the mugshots… SCROLL past them.
’nuff said.
I couldn’t have said it better, Jonco! As Patty-Jo said, I loved ‘meeting’ all the people that visit this awesome site. I think it’s a wonderful project and overall, it creates an atmosphere of universal love. (I’m a total hippie.)
😀
Oh please keep it as it is! I love your travel shots and I loved being part of the mugshots. Its so nice to put faces to commenters and the blogmaster.
Jonco, as everyone before me has said in their own, wonderful way,
we appreciate what you are sharing with us. We all have a choice in
this life… you get to choose what you want to post, we get to choose if
we want to stop by and visit for awhile. I, for one, want to visit.
Thank you.
everything I wanted to say has already been said –
But I will repeat the thanks
Thanks for the coolest site Jonco!!
