Talk about a nasty person. It's ashame how some people are just so mean to other people...I find it odd that she says that you only feed us "candy." After all, you have blogged about difficult material (i.e. Bird, work situations, etc.).

But I'm curious, Sam! Why would she bother?

The thing is, Utah, she isn't even a friend - just a friend of a friend.
I still can't figure out why she's been reading me in the first place!

LOL - I think the Douglas still is operating, Wiley!
Maybe I should write out the address and leave it at the restaurant for her!

Thanks, TAPS, but I was too flabbergasted to even think, let alone laugh!

Nah, no sleep lost, JimmyA
I still can't help wondering why she cared enough to say anything though.

Nautikos, believe me - she is so lucky that I've matured some.
Once upon a time she'd have had my plate on her head...egg & all, LOL!

Ciel,
If I had been quicker in mond I'd have told her to read the newspapers. She caught me totally unaware. And I don't think it's from Blogit - more like my family Blog that she read the posts.

That could be it, CCT
Although...well, she's not even a friend, really. Just a person I met through another friend. That alone had me confused - why would she give a damn?

LOL - Kabu, I want you on my side if ever in war!!
I doubt she'll get to read comments - if she reads here in Blogit, it would be with a penname, and I doubt I would recognize her. Not even sure she writes at all.

Pat_B, I don't think she's in Blogit
I believe it was my Family blog - where I often put the same posts - that she has been reading. I was so surprised that I forgot to ask her.

Whatever she had to say I would simply dismiss it because she truly has no idea what you have been through this last year! And, when anyone says that a person has to prove something they are simple taking a slapshot as it were when the game is over! Do what pleases you and let her thoughts get carried away on the wind! sam

Here on Blogit our audience is so small that I truly doubt that any of us will ever win a Pulitzer with what we write here, but who knows...Right. It's more of a family thing between friends I think. A way to keep in touch and perhaps get a little help with what we do when we ask for it. My advise would be to brush her off, the friendship is more important. And if not...Then to Hell with her.

What a wonderful description of a sociopath.
- "Glibness and Superficial Charm
- Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
- Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
Good for you and your handling of that horrid creature, is the Douglas still operating sis?

What a shock. You did everything just right, except at some point you should have laughed in her face.

Wow, that's a tough position to be in, especially with someone who's barely an acquaintance. Don't lose any sleep over it!

What a bitch! But I must say you handled her admirably! I'm not sure that I would have reacted with the same kind of restraint - actually, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have...

I think of John Hurt as the dreadful Caligula in I CLAUDIUS, speaking to
the debauched and frightful Tiberius Caesar, in tones shocked and appalled:
"Aren't people awful?!"
Your sniper apparently doesn't read the rest of what's here on Blogit, to appreciate how much a little sweetness and light is needed.
If she wants to see more of the other stuff, give her your referral link, and tell her to start writing what she wants to read.

Adnohr my last comment tonight. I won't cast a potato spell, you are sweet enough to take us into your home, to share your sorrow and make punishment into a beautiful gift. I have inevitably had friends, who tried to demean me and at the same time want my company it happens in both sexes. I think basically they desire to be on the same level and have to try to force one down to that plane
.Please have a hug

If she reads your comments let me start....let me get going....let me tell
the Bitch a thing or two. First, she was talking to one of the most loving, giving, caring and bravest human beings it is my priveledge to know. What you have had to endure these last years would destroy many another, but no, you always come back with a smile, a cheerful note to finish your post with....loving encouragement to your friends.
Hey Bitch woman whoever you are, there is enough negative writing on the Internet to keep you satisfied forever. Our brave and beautiful woman who is so loved here don't need you.Oh and another thing, you aren't a reader you are just a picky pick who's readership don't count. Anf if you think this post is just fluff and nonsense...come visit my post. it will give you the vapours........

Not a critic. That one was a sniper.
And she certainly hasn't been reading the posts I've read about betrayals and fighting the good fight and working against the odds to keep family together. Like I said - a sniper.
