after bleeding my clutch, when I press my clutch in it "pops" almost when it's pushed all the way in...what's with that?

Sounds like you may have shoved a bit of air into the system. How did you do the bleed? With two people? With vacuum system? With pressure system? And when you finished and everything was topped up and bleeder screw locked down, did you give the pedal several good short pumps (like only the first couple of inches)?

the tech at our local Mod Day blead it for me with a vacuum suction .....when he finished he never said to give it short pumps but instead to just pump it......also, it doesn' t do it all the time....just sometime when i'm at a stand still.....is there any harm? ....I have never felt it while the car in motion

My personal experience has shown me that vacuum bleeding is not the best way to go with this clutch system. I first used this method and I abandoned it immediately. A lot of air comes out the bleed screw. The air is coming from the outside, finding its way between the bleed screw housing and the screw itself. It is entirely possible that some of the air gets into the system and stays there.
Although it is entirely possible that your condition is due to some other coincidental issue, until you do a proper bleeding, you cannot home in on what that other issue may be.

I do not seem to have any issues with my clutch.....until i bleed it again would you see any reason to be alerted? (in your opinion)

"If" your clutch appears to working well under the conditions that you drive and "if" you actually do have a bit of air in the system, then I don't see any reason to panic over getting another bleed done. However, if you find yourself beginning to grind gears or starting to see a dragging clutch, then these are your initial signs that a bleed is in order.
