…Beeeeeeeeeep!...... We interrupt this blog post for a Mamma Talk Newsflash!
Looks like it’s a writer’s strike over at the Mamma Talk Headquarters. Yesterday, Mamma Talk herself was seen storming out of Mamma Talk Studios during contract negotiations. Mamma Talk production immediately shut down.
“How much longer do you people expect me to blog without pay?” she hissed at reporters as she stormed to her minivan, kids in tow.
Now, the world waits with baited breath. Will sweeps week be effected? The ripple effect is far reaching. Readers everywhere are afraid other mommy bloggers may follow her lead. Could this halt production on other bloggy sets? The word on the street is the Mommy Bloggers may unionize. How will this hit readers in the pocket book?
Let’s cut to this news clip…
Reporter: Mamma! Are you throwing in the towel for good this time?
Mamma Talk: (head out minivan window): Long hours, NO pay, NO benefits! I am SICK of this Bloggy thing! I hear Ann over at Ann's Rants gets paid twice what I do!
Reporter: Twice? Well, doesn’t 2x0 still equal zero?
Mamma Talk: Exactly
Reporter: And, rumor has it, you feel Anna Lefler from Life Just Keeps Getting Weirder is getting more publicity?
Mamma Talk: Yeah! I was supposed to be the lead in this gig and that one keeps stealing my readers!.....Oh, and step aside, you’re in my light!
Reporter: Do you think your bad girl behavior has ruffled feathers over at Mamma talk Studios?
Mamma Talk: WHAT? That incident between Nikki Crumpet and myself was alleged, exaggerated and taken out of context. Besides, she was standing in my light!
Reporter: So, what’s next for the Mamma?
Mamma Talk: I’m going solo!
Reporter: Solo? Well, you heard it here first. Back to you in the studio, Bob.
That’s right, readers. We are the first to break the big news. Mamma is looking to go solo. If negotiations are not reached soon….
Lighting Guy off Camera: Isn’t she already solo?
…Um…If negotiations are not reached soon, the Mamma will begin a solo career…which means….Well, …ah….um….when we figure that one out we’ll let ya know. Remember, you heard it here on Mamma Talk News FIRST!
And, now back to your regularly scheduled blog post.
….and, then I made some more macaroni for my preschooler and…blah, blah, blah…Poopy diapers…blah, blah, blah…Froupy frit frat!

Ha! I totally relate. Thanks so much for the shoutout. Made my day, sadly ;) Funny how I earn twice as much and still somehow we end up the same...two times zero being ZERO And all!
Okay, Okay ... I'll click on the ads!! In fact, I've heard ad clicking has become our own little stimulus package. :-) Gosh, I sure do love bloggyland.
LOL you are too funny. I make half of what you do, it's just not fair!!
Soooo what exactly did you want my sign to say?
:)
Loved the post! Per usual!
be careful my bloggy entra-mom-new-hers... there are evil forces at work that want to steal away your RIGHTFULLY and hard earned $$$.... use caution (this message will selfdestruct in 30 seconds, for more info come visit me)
I get it...off to click.
=) You're too much, really, you crack me up!
LOL! You crack me up! I'm glad you didn't throw in the towel for good! We would miss you!
So sorry to hear about your situation, DiPaola Mommy. I do remember I was the one who posted you a warning earlier. Thanks for the reminder! I appreciate it!
You were and you are welcome! I'd encourge your entourage (us hopelessly devoted fan types) to take heed of the "note" at the end of this post... Good luck on your solo act, he he.. never put baby in a corner eh? ha!
you are too funny!
I gave you an award on my blog!
HAH! That will teach those show offs Anna and Ann.....as for me...Heck I would NEVER stand in your light...I've seen your leg muscles from yesterday. I know when somebody can kick my a@@!!! Thanks for the linky love...and for the laughs!
Love it. Great post, yet again!
You are too funny! I always enjoy your posts! Thanks for the laughs!
haha! that's funny. :) Winter is coming to an end to here I hope! I know the feeling about no pay. Nice post.
Ha,ha,he,he, Too funny!
Down here, if I threaten to go solo, it usually involves a fantasy of finding somebody putting in a pool, throwing the kids in the hole,just as the pool gets lowered - nobody would find them! Plus!, they are always whingeing that they want to live somewhere with a pool!Problem solved -win,win.xx
Maybe you can get stores to advertise on here. LIke consignment shops in your area or something. That's creepy that "Big Brother" still wants to punch us in the stomach and take our meager pennies still...after all this time! Shame on adsense... great post.
My best, Lynn
www.safebeauty.blogspot.com (glad you got the products)
Funny, you had me cracking up!
I thought suspicious clicking was clicking the ads on your own blog. Oh boy, I am out of the loop. There are more rules?
That's IT. In support of your rant, I'm stalking off to my trailer in a huff.
Please have my assistant send a couple cases of Evian over asap so I can wash my hair.
Fight the power!
:^) Anna
Oh my...this is hysterical. Brilliant. Good work, lady.
Thank you for your kind comments today. It's MUCH appreciated. :)
Hmmmmm, can I join your strike? Clickers beware!!! Grrrrr.
My rational for not running the "big boys" ads are evidently well founded on TAG! I could never operate without a conflict of interest!
Ooohhhh...this is exciting stuff here today! I love drama!!!!!
I love it too, hilarious. Let's get to the bottom line though, what was it you were trying to tell us?
(smile)
To clarify about the clicks, if you are somehow "encouraging" others to click, you could get your ads taken away along with $ accrued. If you have multiple clicks and don't have the traffic to support it or if you have the same person clicking too many times, you may get the boot!
I think this is one of my favorite posts of yours. FAvorite line: isn't 2x0 still zero?
Mamma, don't abandon us! I'd click on the ads, but the products don't exist here.
Keep writing, pleeeeze!
That was cute! Great script. I needed a good laugh to start my day.
Too funny! I hope winter is coming to an end soon I need to get these kids out to play! I agree we are two of a kind. I'm so glad we found eachother. Thanks for the laugh this morning.
Ha!
It is kind of funny how much "work" we al do for zero pay.
Hope the contract works out and you're back to writing soon.
Excellent! I'd picket with you, but someone has run off with all my crayons.
Em - will work for pedicure (Dear adsense, that should be in no way construed that I'm asking anyone to come and click. Only that I would like a local area nail care chain give me a call, I'll write them some ad copy in trade for a heel scrape. See, fair and square...)
Me thinks there is something rotten in the state of Denmark . . .
All I can do it laugh. lol.
Do you have a plague-induced writer's strike, or just meh-induced writer's strike?
You are just too hilarious! I'm thinking about joining you on strike....I'll let you know for sure a little later, lol. ;)
Your a hoot! Love your blog.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Note to self: Do NOT, repeat NOT stand in Mamma Talk's light.
I'm right behind you sister! Should you decide to go solo, will you take me with you? In fact, I'll round up the troops and we can all go solo together! Yeah!
I always figure trying to earn money by blogging is like trying to earn money for writing fiction. You hear about it happening, but no one actually knows someone firsthand who does it.
You'd think all that jogging around us small time folks the other day would've earned you some brownie points with the paparazzi. Go figure. :)
You are hilarious! I love reading your blog!
Going solo? What will the mean? Erm, I mean...yay, you're going solo.
LOL. I'll represent you in Blog Court. I'm as good as Elle Woods.
haha!! Don't strike! I like you too much! How will I LIVE?! How will I FUNCTION!??!
