In light of the recent Sir Peter Maxwell bashing, his Lordship has asked me to organize a 'Friend of Sir Peter' society (FoSP for short) Those wishing to become a FoSP should submit a response to this article explaining why they want to become a member, and what they most admire about Sir Peter. His Lordship will then decide who is worthy enough to be admitted. He has asked me to make you all aware of what an honor and a privelege it is to have a membership to this society bestowed upon...
Has anyone seen or heard Bulboushead today? The last I saw of him was yesterday when he called Brad a 'fascist a-hole' because Brad blacklisted him from his blog. Did he get banned altogether?
This is blog number 100. I had aspirations for it to be something spectacular, contraversial...stunning , perhaps? But, I can't think of anythng to say that's even slightly any of those things...hmm, that's the story of my blog, really. Boring. Normal, sensible, mundane. A running commentary on me and what I think and do, on the day to day crap that comes with the particular path I've chosen to tread. It's just about me. That's all. So, thanks for reading, thanks for listen...
I was thinking earlier that I reagrd some of you here at JoeU as almost family. It made me wonder who would fill what familial role...here's what I came up with: JillUser, Karmagirl,NickyG and Shadesofgrey: Sisters. I don't have any sisters, but the way you guys and I interact and talk...well, that's what I have always imagined sisterhood to be like. Imajinit, Dan, Muggaz and Greywar - my brothers. More specifically, MJ and Dan would ...
I have, I think, come across my first real griefer. I've read about them, heard about them, and suspected that certain bloggers might hold griefer tendencies, but didn't really think that I had come across a fully fledged one...until now. For the sake of propriety I shan't name names, but Dan knows who I'm talking about. You all are a sharp bunch, I'm sure it won't take you too long to catch on. Trolls...met one of them recently, a proper one....on both mine and Mack's blog. She's ...
...although it doesn't appear to be working and I'm not sure why. Anyone got any ideas? But it did feel good, though. I never thought I'd enjoy censorship quite this much. I'm really quite ashamed to say that - but I did what I felt I needed to do.
Shea wants a blog of her own here at JU. She's been keeping up with the 'Too close for comfort' thread, and wanted to respond under her own name..but couldn't. The system is set up so (and with good reason, I might add) that you can only create one free blog site per IP address. I wouldn't mind paying for another blog but I can't find the link for the premium services (help, anyone?) It got me thinking...who else has kids that would be interested in blogging? Would it be feasible to ...
Wow! I won something! Well, this is a surprise....I never thought, when I started blogging, that people would read what I was writing about. My blog was going to be just about me - still is about me and my life, really - but along the way I've been inspired by some of you. I have met a myraid of people here, and I can honestly say that I'm a better person for it. You all have made me think, have introduced me to new ideas and concepts (even though I still think some of you are full of ...
You know, I've been blogging for about a month now. At first I was totally intimidated by some bloggers - I had to read their stuff over a couple of times before I got the point of what they were talking about, and then I didn't dare respond for fear of getting shot down in flames. All in all, I felt pretty un-intelligent and slow-witted. There are people here who I think are truly brilliant, way smarter than I am or will ever be, and there are people here who I think probably have th...
..or 'time to say goodbye'. It is, it's time for me to bow out. No, this isn't an attention getting article, in which I say I'm going to leave and you all say please don't go. Contrary to some people's opinion (Manopeace and Pete, I'm talking to you) I'm not like that. It's just time for me to concentrate on other things...my home, my family, my husband when he returns...I have other priorities. I have made some really good friends here, and I will keep in touch with them, eith...
I dunno if you missed me or not, but I'm back (Much to the chagrin of those who had hoped I had left permanently, I hope. I told you it'd take more than that to get rid of me!) My PC guru, Dave-across-the-street, volunteered to put some new stuff on my 'puter. In doing so, he found many, many problems, and hence it took 48 hours and many headaches to get me up and ruinning again.....up, rinning, bigger, and better , much better than before. All for the tune of $80 because...
This isn't being dragged out of me, this is being done voluntarily. This isn't a manipulation, this isn't a plea, this is just a statement of fact. Frank, I give a shit about you, and about your situation. It bothers me that you're upset with me BECAUSE I give a shit. I'm glad that you've found someone you love, and I'm glad that you have found some way to help those less fortunate than yourself. I think that's an admirable thing to do, considering that you ar...
....that there are people here who kick ass. Who aren't afraid to be totally honest about themselves or their circumstances. Who have no pretentions, or who put on airs-and-graces. Who are able to see through the BS and cut to the truth. Those are the people who make me want to keep blogging. Then again..... There are people here who will claim to be anything that fits their particular argument at the time. Who refuse to provide any factual information to back up their claim...
In the past couple of articles it has been insinuated that I have no compassion for those who are mentally ill, despite my admission that I have been clinically depressed myself. It was said that I have compassion until it comes to spending my tax dollar on assistance for the mentally ill. No names have been mentioned, but both Teresa and I know that it is us who are being referred to. I really had tried to refrain from writing this, but I cannot let this go. I have c...
I would like to dedicate the following quote to my JoeU sisters (and Teresa, you got promoted to sister a while ago, I just don't think I ever told you that). Women are like tea bags - you don't know how strong they are until they are in hot water I don't know if it is possible to love people that you have never met, but I will tell you all this: I consider myself extremely fortunate to have met and interacted with you. Friendships have been forged here, friendships that I h...
