Hi

Got to agree - If you don't like what someone is saying, don't read it again and DON'T whine about it.

Thanks Rumored - I totally agree with your post.

Hopefully it will do some good.

What new job?

Did I miss a post on that one?  I thought you traveled around figuring out the damage for homeowners in bad weather.  Have you switched fields or just employers?

Hi BlondeAmb...it's boring the hell out of me-

But at least I can pay my car payment.

I'll check out your new blog tonight. Thanks for letting me know about it.

Passionflower

How is the new job going? The last time I read about it, you had me laughing so hard! I can totally remember being in the same situations as you.

I finally posted a new blog today, if you get a chance, check it out....miss ya.....Blonde.

LOL Blanche....I have to stay out of that place too.

One of these days, we'll meet and go and spends lots of CASH.

Tanga, unfortunately, it's alot more about the clicks

Than you think. WE earn so little money here that it constantly amazes me too that people can get so upset.

posted by Passionflower on September 25, 2006 at 5:22 AM | link to this | reply

Warrrior...Well good for you!

Do we have a mature blogger on the premises??? LOL!

Thanks for not going off to whine about my heading. Thanks for realizing that you can choose NOT to click - But constant griping , pissing and moaning ain't pretty.

posted by Passionflower on September 25, 2006 at 5:20 AM | link to this | reply

I do not think many bloggers

are concerned about the clicks. I am here to find people with a common ground, share and be shared. I also like to read and learn from others who are in countries never visited or experiences never dealt with. I may not agree all the time and have my own opinions, but judging when you truly do not know the blogger or their situation is wrong. Rather try and help or advise than judge

I'm afraid to go to Sephora, Passionflower, cause I already know I would

spend way too much money, too.  Someday...

posted by Blanche. on September 24, 2006 at 9:53 PM | link to this | reply

I'm one of those that figured this was a click trick but

I didn't find it offensive in any way.  This is blogit.  I enjoy this blog so I keep coming back, trick or not.  If a person uses too many tricks for my taste, then I just quit reading their blog.  It's easy enough.  I don't complain about it.  It's all part of the game.

So right Whacky...I believe I will start ignoring the ignorant

And giving all my attention to the more enlightened folks around here.

Blanche...I LOVE Sephora!

Last time I went there, I spent like $300 dollars. And I didn't get everythng I wanted either. I really enjoy day spas too. I love pedicures, manicures, massages.  I was made for the Rich, Wealthy lifestyle....LOL!

What a very sweet thing to say, Charice!

Thanks for your wonderful comment. I'm having a few people give me alot of crap lately. It's a bit discouraging.

I don't know what type of negative feedback that you received.  But please don't stop writing.  I absolutely love reading your articles.  It actually brings joy to my days.  My current article was not a reflection of anyone specific.  I just felt like writing.  Don't stop writing.  Keep going! 

posted by charice on September 24, 2006 at 6:36 PM | link to this | reply

Oh, and I don't know where Offbeats ran off to, Passionflower, but

I decided to skip school and go to Sephora and a day spa, instead   I'm too poor, but I can dream, right?). I put that on her Christmas list, too. Want to go for a facial, massage, and a makeover?  I could use one.

You are right there are a lot of inspiring and interesting posts

and you don't even have to look very hard!

Uh oh, that doesn't sound good, Passionflower

But it's like the old joke says, "But doctor, it hurts when I do this..." and the doctor says, "Well, don't do that, then".

Amen to that, Blanche...I'm trying to have fun..

But it feels like I'm having a root canal.

I'm doing my part, Passionflower, this girl just wants to have fun.

Ariel...I'm glad we were around to care and pray...

Sometimes that makes all the difference.

 Regardless of my past history with God, I DO know that He can and will heal you.  I also know that He loves mankind, though I don't understand WHY. We're not a very lovable bunch sometimes.

Well see, Blanche...if we would each do that....

There would be no more blog wars.

posted by Passionflower on September 24, 2006 at 4:57 PM | link to this | reply

Passionflower, I think a lot of people, myself included, have been.

Right now, I'm a lover, not a fighter. If I don't like someone, I don't read them, don't comment, and don't write about them. Period. End of story.

The ones I like, like me, and we're cool. The ones who don't like me avoid me as much as I avoid them. It works.

Passion

 

Although i often criticise them, I think I must be the most passionate defender of Christianity and Christians in here. Why? you might ask.

To me, it's simple ; we are what we are, whether we're believers or non-belivers because of our Judaeo-Christian heritage, which, if we don't get up and defend it, we're going to lose the war against the new Church Militant : Islam.

Many prayed for me last Christmas, and I greatly appreciated their - and your - concern. Far from being insulted by Christians praying for me, I am proud yet humbled.

I'm still far from being well, even now, which is partly why I haven't been around so much lately, but if ever anything did happen to me/us, then our daughter, Francie would let everyone know.

The friendship, support, and dare one say it? love, that I have received in here is infinitely precious to me.

Ariel...I had forgotten all about those problems and illnesses you

Had last year.

I know that you've probably had some bad experiences with Christians. The bible instructs us to go and tell people about Jesus. But many are not taught how to affectively do this.

So they go out and offend everyone they come in contact with. Another thing they do is, once they get "saved" they start thinking that their shit doesn't stink. They get a feeling of superiority.

It's very easy to see why and how people get some turned off by Christianity. Wish I had an answer - I'm a Christian but I honestly hate associating with some of them - what an obnoxiious bunch they can be!

At the same time, there are many sweet, loving Christians out there who would pray for you and help you and be supportive no matter what you're going thru.

We see many bad doctors and lawyers these days but we don't stop going to doctors and lawyers bec of those bad ones. We just keep looking till we find a good one.

Ariel...we were just discussing you yesterday.

And wondering where you'd gone to. I know we all need a break sometimes but I think that if anything ever happened to you ( or Wiley or Sally or me or anyone), would there be anyone who could log onto their account and let us know.

Passion again

 

I forgot to mention that when I was fed up, depressed, and wondering whether to give Blogit the boot last year, I was bowled over by receiving comments begging me to stay from people that I never imagined even read my posts!

Not, only that, but I was actually moved to tears by all the loving comments I received when I was in hospital. I guess that that's what buoys us up when we're down a black hole, isn't it?

Passion

 

I missed your post saying that you might quit, otherwise I would have returned the compliment, when our positions were reversed, and you were so supportive of me. Also when I was in hospital last Christmas.

I echo your sentiments exactly, and one has to say, sadly, that Blogit has changed ; and not for the better.

I've been a bit sensitive lately, lots of depression etc.

Offbeat...I got several personal emails from some of you last week.

It meant so much to me that you guys cared enough to take the time to contact me and say, "Please stay!"

There's still so much criticism and negativity though. It's pretty stressful, you have to admit!

Evidently, reading (or not reading), writing and minding your own business is pretty tough

posted by Passionflower on September 24, 2006 at 1:39 PM | link to this | reply

PF

I believe you hit the nail on the head, or someone did in the comment section. A persons blog belongs to them so if they are staying or going or using the word blogger or blogging or sex or more sex can be whatever you want..so long as the blogs intent is not to hurt others. I would never say I am a lesser blogger because I ask my friends to stay...my friends are important to me and that's what makes us so unique here. We have many friends each offering a different view and sometimes....it takes just one to convince us that maybe we are indeed being hasty in a decision that would jeopardize a friend.

btw, Shelly, she wrote in her response to my comment

That she didn't think that anyone would be offended by what she wrote. So that can't be true.

You got offended. I got offended and Sally got offended.

I still think about your "Vision" and wonder if it could be true. I was talking to Sally this morning and she reminded me of a dream she'd had recently along those same lines.

the wonderful things about this comment system is that people can say whatever they want.  It kind of mirrors the mind.  you can think whatever you want.  Another fun thing about this site is the more you click, the less you actually pay out per click.  So I click on all the crap i can...just for the hell of it.
