So what do we think about tickers? Love 'em? Hate 'em? Should I keep it or not?

I'm glad you stopped by! This blog chronicles my experiences living in and adopting from Russia. It was a six-year journey that doubled the size of my family. I adopted my daughter, then age 6, from Moskovskaya Oblast. Now we're back in the USA and no longer posting from Russia.

Hmmm...a little too cute for my taste.
I think I'll leave the ticker on the post and then maybe occasionally bump it up...or not...but won't leave it up permanently.
Since I mess up your bloglines all the time with my post-publishing editing, I'll just leave this for now.
I love tickers! :-) And as soon as I have a court date, you'll see a new one on my blog!
Personally I hate them...if you are that close to counting down to something (ie 1 week to court) - you don't need a ticker because you know every heartbeat is a step closer...
If you are counting up...well I think it's just depressing...and I get depressed when I see yours and am reminded of how long you have been trying to get your freaking dossier submitted...
but then it is YOUR blog!!!!
not a fan of the ticker.
you asked.
:o)
I like the ticker. We measure things by how many sleeps around here, so it hits home.
BTW, I love the toy bin. How practical, cute, and organized. I love organization!
I don't have an opinion on them...this one is cute though...if it depresses you, take it down. If it encourages you and reminds you the end is near, keep it up!
I think it's cute.
BTW - Alright, already. Sigh. I send out photos WITH an email! ;) I'll put you on the list! :)
I have a love/hate relationship with them. Most are way too cutesy for me, but I have a plain-vanilla one on my site (but kind of buried).
I have one because it gives me the (completely false) feeling that I have some idea when I'll get my referral. Seriously, though, it just helps me keep track of my own wait... and saves me from having to answer the question "how long have you been waiting??"
Not a big fan of the ticker... just a personal thing. The comments seem split. Interesting survey.
I am a love hater of them as well...
Tickers are great!!! I love how you worded that one!
I like the count up ones better than this kind of ticker. The ones that are just the numbers ticking by. They're not as cutsie. But they can be depressing as well.
I do like the one you have up now though. It's not too cutsie.
I like it! I've never had one but I do like them.
I like it!
PS- my blog name changed to www.wayhometoana.blogspot.com . I did not dissapear :)
DUH it's www.wayhomeFORana.blogspot.com.
Having one of those days...
Never had one because didn't take the time to figure out how to do it:) But I think they are pretty neat and like reading others tickers!
