Oh NO!!!! Cringe can't leave!!

Justi, I appreciate you letting me know but I just can't read his blog. First of all, everyone here knows he's a moron. Secondly, it will just stress me out and make me want to punch him in the face.

I'm sorry, but I've always tried to be tolerant of other people's beliefs. I've tried to treat people with respect....People like him and Gomer and a few others have NO IDEA what it means to respect the rights and views of others.

I wanna say something else about that too....nevermind...I'll just go write a blog about it.

You and I made another bullying blog. X-eno has put us in a blog along with almost everyone in the Religious Blogs. It is the one before his last one of a few minutes ago it is so ugly and like him. Maggie they are out there. Cringe is leaving because of bullies.

Passion, have you scared everybody?  I haven't seen anybody misbehaving in a week or so.  I hope, for all our sakes, they have decided to act right or they have just gone away.

Stay well and God bless.

Lately we seem to have more trouble makers than usual and I seem to have less patience with them.

BlondeAmb...I know what you mean...

We do truly miss the fun we used to have with you and me and Offbeats and Shelly---all of us traveling thru time and space to find the next party...

Gee! Those were the good ole days. Hope you are well and safe and not working too hard. I know you don't check in as often as you used to so you may not see this comment but I'll email you later.

I think a man and love is about to come into your life. Please take time for it and him....embrace it.

You write about it very effectively, Cringe....

I loved your statement about the relationship richocheting and throwing flaming wreckage everywhere.

Guess we've all been there and done that. We're human. Love is a strong emotion. Thank God you had people in your life that would point out the truth to you and try to help you make some changes.

posted by Passionflower on September 17, 2006 at 5:15 PM | link to this | reply

I know Passion, but I did eventually, the whole thing didn't just crash &

burn, it ricocheted throwing pieces of flaming wreck everywhere.  It still went on & off for 3, nearly 4 years. 

Don't get me wrong, there were good times, but it was all very erratic, and over the course of it, I wasn't as attentive a Mom as I should've been as this relationship sucked all the life out of me, again, my fault for not being objective.

It came to a point where it was pointed out to me, would I tolerate my daughter being in this kind of relationship when she got older?  Wake up time!

Six months later, I met my husband.

I'm still friends with my ex, and that's only recent, we've both realised that we totally rubbed each other up the wrong way, though there is a major chemistry there.

And, he's still reasonably reassured about his 4 inches.

I hate it when it's like that Cringe...

You really hate yourself for letting yourself get involved in relationships like this but you just can't get out of them.

Correction 'doormat' sorry, I was trying to paraphrase myself & Paddy's

relationship, and it took me a long time to respond, didn't realise I'd been dispatched to bed in my absence.

Well PF, lets just say he had other talents, and y'know it wasn't past my

minimum cut-off point (yes, pun intended), but he & I were like one of those Latin soap opera couples, all banging doors, screaming matches, long silences, and longer make ups.

It wasn't a balanced relationship, with me losing myself more and more as time went on,  and him losing more and more respect for me for becoming such a doormant, to the outside it would appear emotionally abusive, looking back, I was just as much of a participant as he was.

But the sex, cripes, that was great.

Tony, that's certainly my philosophy.

And I do try to practice that. But most men I know CAN NOT just drive away from the rude drivers on the road. They have some unexplainable compulsion to continue to iritate the offender until it escalates into World War 3.

That's the way it is around here a little too often.

Passionflower, the English enginner who answered my personal ad was like

that. He could'nt see me when he had friends fly over from England, suddenly he disappeared. It was so painful. I finally got a clue, after 4 months that he was married, mainly because  he finally told me.  To me, the idea that I am not good enough to be seen with him, not good enough to share his life, while some other women gets all the goodies, plus the fact that I don't want to hurt some other woman, makes me furious with all cheating husbands.

posted by Passionflower on September 17, 2006 at 2:09 PM | link to this | reply

I see!

Well thanks for enlightening me to some extent! Some of you have escaped this skulduggery, though, so it can't be too bad all the time. I hope you all carry on and perhaps if we stop referring to the troublemakers at all in blogs, then we stop giving them 'the oxygen of publicity'. Certainly never visit their sites if they are known problem-causers. It's like when you meet problem drivers on the highway / motorway. Best to just let them pass and zoom off into the distance to annoy someone else, rather than trying to change their behaviour. That, I think, is up to Blogit site managers to do. Like I say, if there is an official complaints mechanism, we should use that, but I don't know if there is.

Okay, Cringe, but sadly, since I'm strapped for cash, you'll have to pay

airfare, which would be fine with me, because I've always wanted to see Cork, and Ireland, but I'm afraid I'd make an expensive babysitter.

Why Cringe! How mature of you to put

such a positive spin on something that was probably so ugly!  See? There's always a silver lining....we just have to search for it...LOL!

Blanche...that's one of my pet peeves...

This guy I'm seeing is like that...he doesn't want people to know bec he doesn't want them to think he's a cheater.

Hellooooooooo? YOU ARE A CHEATER!  One thing that I have that I truly value:

• I know who I am and what I'm really like down deep. I don't try to bullshit myself or anyone else.

I'm similar, it takes a lot to get me going, but when I do, well

it's not pretty.

I learnt how to argue effectively from a rather cold ex I had, at least I got something out of the relationship.

LMAO at the stiletto heels, eggshells and adjusting the dress image, PF

Did you see the picture of Kate Moss who took a spill on the runway?  Now that's got to be embarrassing. 

Normal?  You're asking the wrong person about that one.  What is normal?  I was kidding when I wrote "Coloring Between the Lines", but not really. I mean, if you knew what went on in the most upstanding people's heads, it would probably shock you.  I'm guessing.  People pass for normal, and then we find out about church leaders and televangelists ripping people off and fornicating, so just because someone wears a suit, drives a nice car, lives in a fancy house, and smiles and shakes hands, does that make them a good person?  No.

On the other hand, getting too far off the grid isn't' good either.  But I was raised in a household with people who could never tell the truth about anything, and we all just preteneded everything was fine, while the sky was falling down.

Well as a newbie

you and I didnt initially hit it off but have become good on-line friends and fairly close neighbors.  I think new bloggers have to realize that this site has a variety of writers each with their own opinions and views.  The key is to be open minded.  I haven't been blocked yet lol or blocked anyone else I just don't read their post or comments if they are a problem child.

Write some theme music for us...

We've got hatred, lying, manipulating, adultery and fornication....We've got religious zealots telling us all that we're going to hell. We've got witches putting spells on us. We've got people on drugs and alcohol.

I second that Blanche, I withdrew a blog today as I realised that

given recent trouble, it could've been misconstrued as a pointed remark or jibe, when in fact it was me having a laugh at my own expense.

I don't want anyone to feel bad, which is why I feel a certain amount of responsibility lately in constructing any point I make, goddamn this thinking business is wearing me out!

That said, it takes all kinds to make a world.  I don't agree with personal attacks on people, that's just a step up from the playground.  Valid points in a logical manner, however given recent events I will be spending less time here.
