I would love to comment more - b/c I think it is all a load of crap about the posting here and there - and what was said and not said - but the fact is - SIP was supposed to be "ours" and it turned into "hers" when we didn't follow the rules - or when she *thought we weren't following the rules. It is obvious where that led.
Christy - I hope it ends soon too. So far so good :)
Yeah, I'm gonna try to make it up there this summer. With the way things are with my grandpa, I want to see him before he passes and let him meet little man.
My mom and stepdad bought a place up there - in a small town.
"Another fair question - do you think it was okay for Wendy to *use/hurt Rhys by posting comments made here (which in all actuality could have been been true about a couple of people besides Rhys), plus STATING FOR A FACT that she KNEW they were about Rhys?"
No, I don't think it was OK. Except for this: No one denied the comments were about rhys (they were, obviously), and rhys ASKED Wendy to post them.
I think it was wrong for Wendy to post them. Wendy knows I think it was wrong for her to post them. It made my stomach hurt when she posted them.
BUT--rhys asked her to. I didn't pull this out of my butt plug--if she cares to, rhys can verify it.
So to answer the direct question, no. I didn't think it was right. It made me ill. I thought it was wrong. But rhys did ask.
I don't see my last post, so I can only assume Blogger is being wiggy again.
If I missed any questions, please ask away. I think I answered what was asked directly?
I have a hard time understanding how I became such a villein. Seriously--I'd like to know what I did to any of you to make you dislike me so much? Because, while I may be solid in my opinions, I'm not disrespectful of others'. I'm asking honestly--what did I do to make so many people seemingly dislike me so intensely? Have I said ugly things about you behind your backs? Have I been directly and consistently ugly to you? Do I smell?
I have feelings, too. And I really would like to understand why it is that I am such a villain. Because I've remained friends with Wendy? So far from being her "butt plug," she and I disagree about stuff all the time, just like I did with some of you when we were all chatting together. But that never prevented us from chatting. And it didn't foster such animosity and such dislike. Sometimes we agreed. And it was all good; we could disagree, discuss, and move on. But since I've been away from here and haven't felt welcome in coming back, again and again I am brought up and ridiculed and disparaged and laughed at and made fun of. And seriously, I wonder why? Who here is going to step up and say I did something really nasty to them, said something really nasty about them, failed to give support when it was needed?
I don;t get it. I am one of the most often mentioned people on here mentioned negatively. And now there are people who don;t even know me who have decided they don't like me because of things said about me by a group of women I used to chat with and haven't talked with in months.
R2, I've tried to stay out of this whole thing. I don't really know what happened most recently, but I can say with confidence that I never said anything bad about either you or Wendy, except when I came over here to explain why I left SIP, and even then I tried to be polite (and did not mention you at all, as far as I remember).
I do not come here to say bad things about you and Wendy, because I don't think bad things about you. I may think that it's unfortunate that there's such animosity, but really, in the big scheme of things, I wish you both well.
yes, i asked to know what was being said. i don't recall asking it to be cut and pasted. except for the last time that happened recently.
i don't like finding out, or hearing innuendo that i've been disparaged, or otherwise lied about behind my back. i just don't. i've had enough of that. i've had enough of a rough year without adding that.
i know people have had harder times. i know i'm not unique. i'm thinking more and more that this might not be for me. i can't decide. i crave contact with people, i'm somewhat isolated out here. but i am getting tired of being pulled here and there.
but i can't change what people do or say about me. i can only try to be honest, learn from my mistakes, correct my presentation of myself when it comes across improperly or inaccurately, and hope for the best.
Awww, TWG. Stay and play with the daisies. Normally it is a lot of chatter about a lot of things, but there is hardly any drama, really. Especially considering some of the other forums and things I have been on. Obviously you are welcome here. I am not AP, but she has said it so I am going with it. Please stay and play and ignore the crap.
We should all remember we are just words on a screen and not take this stuff so seriously. A lot of you have been friends for a long time. We are women who are by nature emotionally charged.
If I don't like what someone says, I read and move on. Life is too short to get caught up in she said this or she posted that.
That said, blogger better get on the stick here. I hate reading through email.
I swear and I do b/c I'm white trash in a tube top, I'm gong to write a strongly worded letter to Mr. Blogger and give him a piece of my mind. ::stomping foot::
TRUDY!!! *jumps on Trudy and wraps my arms and legs around her*
Erin, I'm so glad your daughter's eye problem is fixable, but man, that much have scared the shit out of you.
Mulie, I'm sorry you're yeasty. And I have trouble with this in my freaking *ears. Drives me insane in hot, humid weather. So, add that to another location for yeast problems.
Hi, Karen, good to see you early and Kristin, how's the leg?
I'll own it all day as a Amazonian Irish girl rocking tattoos, and if anyone wants to see some Mick white trash up close, come down to Archer Avenue and meet me and my cousins behind my uncle's bar. ::breaks a bottle against the brick::
R2, are you aware that Wendy talked about you, as well? About how pissy and bratty you were when Tara got the invite to SIP? How we all conspired against you and said it was ok while you were on vacation? Seriously, girl, the sun doesn't rise and set on you. You have a home over at SIP, now give it a rest over here.
Christy, I'm here. I'll do a new one around midnight and then I'm going to add a new 3pm back in again, like we were doing for awhile. :-)
Kristin, I'm sorry you have the shits.
"Take your texting while driving ass out of here."
Oh, ouch...lol! Kaytie, I get how you feel, I agree completely but she doesn't have to leave. She can be here all day, every day. Of course, you can harangue her all day, every day, too. Checks and balances, circle of life...whatever. :-D
I am not a toy, either. I'm a mom and a wife and I'm someone who goes to work every day and I chat in the evenings, but I've never been a bitch from hell and I'm just sick of being talked about like *I* was a piece of white trash that clearly many of you feel so comfortable stomping on.
And if I could somehow connect your behavior with mine, I'd be OK with it. Did anyone step up yet and say it is THIS we don't like you for? Or THAT?
Kristin, when things blew up over at SIP, I repeatedly reached out to you. I was hurt that you were hurt, and I expressed that in what I said to you in our private conversations.
And so for you to be like you are about me--laughing when I'm called a butt plug and jumping on the bandwagon when someone says something negative about me--can you explain that to me? Did I do something to you? Seriously, I'd like to know your answer. Because I can't see where I've ever been anything but a friend to you.
R2, I am the way I am about you because you came over her to say that people shouldn't welcome me here, because I left SIP. Also, because I don't think you understand the words concede or compromise, as you don't do either. You are a difficult person to like, because it is your way or the highway, and you will defend it to the death. No one is right all the time.
"I'll own it all day as a Amazonian Irish girl rocking tattoos, and if anyone wants to see some Mick white trash up close, come down to Archer Avenue and meet me and my cousins behind my uncle's bar. ::breaks a bottle against the brick::"
Bella, I never said nor thought it was all about me. My home? It's here where I sit while I type this.
And so since you addressed me directly, I get to ask back directly to you--what's your beef with me? You've compared me to TinyCandy and GM--what's up with that? I'm nothing like either of them. "last word"? Yeah, I'm on a message board. I respond. You respond. I respond. You respond.
That's how this thing works.
Wendy talked about me? Yeah? So has everyone else, apparently, and I'm still here, right?
Shit, I can't imagine that Wendy has said anything about me half as bad as the things you've said about me over the last couple of months. So--nice try at diversion, but you know? I'm getting kind of used to being the outcast.
AP-I'm alive and well. You aged me about 9 years but that's okay! Kinda was erie to be reading and minding my business and then see that you thought I was dead. I appreciate the concern.
Just catching up - remember that people you share yourself with, who you are vulnerable with, who you trust, who you think are good friends, CAN AND POSSIBLY WILL push you out of a community you are a part of.
It can happen to anybody on a private blog.
So, it might be you one day, Robin. Just be careful with who you think your friends are.
I do it all the time, but I'm staunch about my opinions, as many of us are.
That doesn't mean I'm unable to acknowledge that yours are as important or as strongly held by you as mine are by me. So you'd like me better if I caved and agreed with everyone all the time?
I think that's why, ultimately, AP "doesn't like" me. We're both like that, and since we don't agree, it makes for an awkward match at times.
R2, I'm going to answer this honestly and with no snark, I promise. You asked an honest question and I'll give you an honest answer Then I'll get us that new post up because this is awful. Sorry, y'all.
I do not care for you because, imo, you are incredibly condescending and holier-than-thou. You poke at people, talk down to them and generally have a bully feel about you. The moment someone calls you on it, you hit the ground, rolling over and flailing, going into full pitiful-victim mode, as you're doing now. Now, perhaps it's nothing more than how my personality reads yours; in fact, it probably is, but that's how you come across to me.
As for Kaytie, I claim her. I brought her here,she's a dear friend of mine and has been for many, many years. And believe it or not, I've never, ever mentioned you to her. She's reacting based on her own feelings, probably influenced in huge part by the work she does.
Off to make us a new post now...give me 5 minutes.
"I'll own it all day as a Amazonian Irish girl rocking tattoos, and if anyone wants to see some Mick white trash up close, come down to Archer Avenue and meet me and my cousins behind my uncle's bar. ::breaks a bottle against the brick::"
I love this :-D Just for the sheer passion and description.
CK--my life isn't posting at SIP. I take the blog world at face value, and since people only have the face they let others see in blogland, pretty much it's not someplace I implicitly trust.
But thank you for the warning.
I've been hurt by things said here. I can be vulnerable enough to say that. And when I asked why, I wanted you all to answer. So, I appreciate those of you who have. Really.
And AP, FWIW, I'm not playing the victim and rolling on the ground. I asked an honest question, and I wanted honest answers. Thank you for yours, incorrect as I feel it was.
You don't like me because I *do* stand by what I believe, NOT because I back down.
just poking in here for bit, but hoping that bottle broke against the brick was empty lol cuz if not...that's alcohol abuse!!! on a lighter note....6 chemo caps done and a dozen infusion covers completed and delivered :) all while dealing with Dr's appts for Dad with cancer and diabetic pg daughter due in next few weeks YAY ME!!!
Robin, I've seen many of us answer your questions, on SIP and here, and you try to tell us how it's not true. Just what I see - please don't feel you need to defend yourself. It's an observation.
R2 - If you took the time to read the Daisy posts you would have read that I am not involved in SPI, only I have heard hurt here of Daisies that have been banned from there. They are adults and can speak for themselves.
My personal response to you was purely out of passion for my work as a trauma nurse. And I do mean passion. I have seen too often protagonists and victims of handheld and texting while driving traumas and it breaks my heart. My response had nothing to do with SPI.
If you had taken the time to read Daisy posts, you would have also have seen that I was sick at Rhys being tossed around as if she was not even there. If you had read her comments, you would see that she even said the same.
Everyone is welcome! The only real rules here are no spamming shit and no posting personal addresses, phone numbers or other similar info. I don't need that kind of stress. That's it, although it could change if someone gets creative or something. If you don't like what is said here, you can: 1) Say so; 2) Hold it in and stew on it; 3. Address it privately to the person who said it; 4) Snark about it to your friends; 5) Leave. Don't bother me with it, I don't care and I won't get involved. I might, however, talk about you behind your back or post your email/message to me on here. *grins*
Them's the rules...all of them.
Have fun!

2nd question, from CK:
"Another fair question - do you think it was okay for Wendy to *use/hurt Rhys by posting comments made here (which in all actuality could have been been true about a couple of people besides Rhys), plus STATING FOR A FACT that she KNEW they were about Rhys?"
No, I don't think it was OK. Except for this: No one denied the comments were about rhys (they were, obviously), and rhys ASKED Wendy to post them.

So to answer the direct question, no. I didn't think it was right. It made me ill. I thought it was wrong. But rhys did ask.
Is this thing on or is blogger being a horse's ass?
I don't see my last post, so I can only assume Blogger is being wiggy again.

"Just be prepared for some itchiness as the meds. work."
Taiya, I've had it since last Thursday, so itchiness it now an old annoying friend.
R2, I've tried to stay out of this whole thing. I don't really know what happened most recently, but I can say with confidence that I never said anything bad about either you or Wendy, except when I came over here to explain why I left SIP, and even then I tried to be polite (and did not mention you at all, as far as I remember).
I do not come here to say bad things about you and Wendy, because I don't think bad things about you. I may think that it's unfortunate that there's such animosity, but really, in the big scheme of things, I wish you both well.
testing...
Hi Taiya.
AP- Can we get a new post please!
Jane Lynch as Madonna - love it!
Christy - I spoke too soon :(
With that, I am going to go lay down, until I have to run to the bathroom :(
and christy, I got your e-mail but I had a busy day and now, well now I am just feeling up to par.
Hi BD! i can see your from e-mail. I was just testing to see if actual blogger was working.
yes, i asked to know what was being said. i don't recall asking it to be cut and pasted. except for the last time that happened recently.
i don't like finding out, or hearing innuendo that i've been disparaged, or otherwise lied about behind my back. i just don't. i've had enough of that. i've had enough of a rough year without adding that.
i know people have had harder times. i know i'm not unique. i'm thinking more and more that this might not be for me. i can't decide. i crave contact with people, i'm somewhat isolated out here. but i am getting tired of being pulled here and there.
i am me. i'm not a toy.
Piece of crap blogger...you are interferring with my reading and my Schlitz drinking.
Feel better Kristin!
right.
but i can't change what people do or say about me. i can only try to be honest, learn from my mistakes, correct my presentation of myself when it comes across improperly or inaccurately, and hope for the best.
Awww, TWG. Stay and play with the daisies. Normally it is a lot of chatter about a lot of things, but there is hardly any drama, really.

Goodnight Kristin! I hope you feel better!
I hate that people feel unwelcomed here :(
We should all remember we are just words on a screen and not take this stuff so seriously. A lot of you have been friends for a long time. We are women who are by nature emotionally charged.
If I don't like what someone says, I read and move on. Life is too short to get caught up in she said this or she posted that.
That said, blogger better get on the stick here. I hate reading through email.
Did blogger finally blow this post up?
Ditto that, Sandy. Blogger needs to get the bug out of it's butt and start working occasionally.
Mulie- in my experience that whole itchy thing? Gets worst as the meds. work. That's where the topical stuff comes into play. Definitely. Not. Fun.
I swear and I do b/c I'm white trash in a tube top, I'm gong to write a strongly worded letter to Mr. Blogger and give him a piece of my mind. ::stomping foot::
Sandy- address it as such and then let know how that works out...
"Dear Mr. Blogger...."
Look we changed the page and I think it's working.
Oh yeah. Blogger is back.
Every time we get close to change pages, this happens. I have a love hate relationship with reading through email.
TRUDY!!! *jumps on Trudy and wraps my arms and legs around her*
Erin, I'm so glad your daughter's eye problem is fixable, but man, that much have scared the shit out of you.
Mulie, I'm sorry you're yeasty. And I have trouble with this in my freaking *ears. Drives me insane in hot, humid weather. So, add that to another location for yeast problems.
Hi, Karen, good to see you early and Kristin, how's the leg?
I'm picturing AP with yogurt covered tampons in her ears.
LOL, Jill
I am staying up way too late.
Love the visual, Jill. :)
White trash? ::nods::
I'll own it all day as a Amazonian Irish girl rocking tattoos, and if anyone wants to see some Mick white trash up close, come down to Archer Avenue and meet me and my cousins behind my uncle's bar. ::breaks a bottle against the brick::

Christy, I'd love a copy of that cookbook!
Exactly what you said, rhys.
I am not a toy, either. I'm a mom and a wife and I'm someone who goes to work every day and I chat in the evenings, but I've never been a bitch from hell and I'm just sick of being talked about like *I* was a piece of white trash that clearly many of you feel so comfortable stomping on.

AP - what was it you suggested for the ears? Was it white vinegar? I about ready to try Jill's suggestion of yogurt pops in my ears!
"I'll own it all day as a Amazonian Irish girl rocking tattoos, and if anyone wants to see some Mick white trash up close, come down to Archer Avenue and meet me and my cousins behind my uncle's bar. ::breaks a bottle against the brick::"
Bella, you continue to win my heart.
I've never broken a bottle against a brick wall, BD, but I imagine it would be awesome...and that I would cut my hand.
Bella, Archer Avenue...Sweet!
Bella, I never said nor thought it was all about me. My home? It's here where I sit while I type this.
And so since you addressed me directly, I get to ask back directly to you--what's your beef with me? You've compared me to TinyCandy and GM--what's up with that? I'm nothing like either of them. "last word"? Yeah, I'm on a message board. I respond. You respond. I respond. You respond.

I'm just trying to understand why.
Is it sick day today? I see that Kristin and Jill are down with various ills...hope you both are feeling better.
AP-I'm alive and well. You aged me about 9 years but that's okay! Kinda was erie to be reading and minding my business and then see that you thought I was dead. I appreciate the concern.
Just catching up - remember that people you share yourself with, who you are vulnerable with, who you trust, who you think are good friends, CAN AND POSSIBLY WILL push you out of a community you are a part of.
It can happen to anybody on a private blog.
So, it might be you one day, Robin. Just be careful with who you think your friends are.
See my above post regarding my beef with you, and also the answer to your question why, R2.
Bella, I made sausage marinara for dinner. I am now drinking wine and feeling fine.
A. has strep throat, though...maybe she's my proxy.
I do concede, Bella.
I do it all the time, but I'm staunch about my opinions, as many of us are.
That doesn't mean I'm unable to acknowledge that yours are as important or as strongly held by you as mine are by me. So you'd like me better if I caved and agreed with everyone all the time?
I think that's why, ultimately, AP "doesn't like" me. We're both like that, and since we don't agree, it makes for an awkward match at times.

Melissa, I shouldn't have, but I laughed out loud at your post.
Glad you're not dead.
I wonder if Hallmark makes a card for that?
"I'll own it all day as a Amazonian Irish girl rocking tattoos, and if anyone wants to see some Mick white trash up close, come down to Archer Avenue and meet me and my cousins behind my uncle's bar. ::breaks a bottle against the brick::"
I love this :-D Just for the sheer passion and description.
Melissa, happy to see you alive! :D
CK--my life isn't posting at SIP. I take the blog world at face value, and since people only have the face they let others see in blogland, pretty much it's not someplace I implicitly trust.
But thank you for the warning.
I've been hurt by things said here. I can be vulnerable enough to say that. And when I asked why, I wanted you all to answer. So, I appreciate those of you who have. Really.
BD-I don't know if they do. I'm going to check the next time I go in there. If they don't I'm going to suggest that they start.
bd--THANK YOU.
I have missed you.
AP--I think you just described yourself!
I'm flattered!
:D
And AP, FWIW, I'm not playing the victim and rolling on the ground. I asked an honest question, and I wanted honest answers. Thank you for yours, incorrect as I feel it was.
You don't like me because I *do* stand by what I believe, NOT because I back down.
*** done ***
Melissa:
I think it was the "I appreciate your concern" that got me. Like "I'm sorry you've been inconvenienced by my continued living."
I'm still chuckling over it.
just poking in here for bit, but hoping that bottle broke against the brick was empty lol cuz if not...that's alcohol abuse!!!
on a lighter note....6 chemo caps done and a dozen infusion covers completed and delivered :) all while dealing with Dr's appts for Dad with cancer and diabetic pg daughter due in next few weeks YAY ME!!!
Robin,
I've seen many of us answer your questions, on SIP and here, and you try to tell us how it's not true.
Just what I see - please don't feel you need to defend yourself. It's an observation.
