A message to my fellow bloggers.
I have posted some rather opinionated stuff at the other place. I KNOW some of you disagree with me. I was worried that some of you may not want to associate yourselves with me anymore and in the end, that's okay as it is definitely your call to make. However, if you would prefer that I not post in your blogs, please let me know. I certainly do not want to go where I am not welcome.

You are always welcome in my blog. Your badassness just makes you all that much hotter to me. *double swoon*
See the picture of Jan Brady over there?
<----that's how faint I felt last night from swooning over you. :)
Carey-forever my champion!!
*smooches*
Oh and double smooches for the pre-birthday smooches!!
More birthday smooches to come. ;-)
TK: I absolutely adore you. You said what was on your mind and you were you. No fault in my book.
*hugs and smooches*
Pssst. Carey. I think Jan is over there ------->
*psst Carey! You're pointing the wrong way!*
I don't read over there TK, but from my memories of that place I probably agreed with you. Even if I didn't, that's there and this is here and I am mature enough to know that lots of perfectly nice people don't agree with me on everything.
So is this a thread where people are getting banned and stuff? Maybe I'll go take a look at it since there's not much new in blogworld yet today.
Thanks Boo and Swami! *smooches*
Um, I very well might get my first warning or a ban altogether especially since I mouthed off to Mystic as well. LOL!! Swami, it's definitely worth a read. I NEVER spout off but I did last night. I had had my fill of hypocrisy.
I will admit, I did actually drop my jaw for about a minute. I don't think I've ever seen you so spunky.
Jan is over there <--- when I post from the comment box. Ya big meanies.
And I'm just gonna swoon a little more over Tkit. *swoon*
Boo my jaw dropped a little this morning when I re-read what I had written. It was almost surreal re-reading it. As in wow, I finally came out and said it. I so often keep mum and just rant to Carey, but yesterday? I had enough.
My jaw dropped too, and then I applauded.
*smooch*
The funny thing I got a pm over there this morning. I figured it was either my warning pm or my banning pm. Do they send banning pm's or just "off with your head"? Anyway, it was from Augie LOL! I admit, I was a little nervous like I had gotten in trouble in school or something.
I think you get no PM. I have never received a PM when I got my two warnings. they were just out on the board. I know that last summer when there was the mass exodus, the ones who got banned got no warning. They just all of a sudden couldn't post anymore.
Hmmm. Maybe I need to try to post. BRB.
Nope, not banned yet.
Yay!!!
You're welcome at my place.
I'm not going to rehash the whole situation because I've said what I need to say to those involved via PM, but I do understand how you feel.
Regardless of whether anybody agrees with you or not, I admire that you had the courage to say what was on your mind and then the courtesy to sign your name to what you wrote.
I already sent you a red wavy before I headed over here.
I may disagree with you, but I don't expect that will change our friendship. I think it would be naive to think we'd all agree on everything.
I respect you, I even love how you get so passionate. I always wonder if my quest for tolerance and less judgment has made me lacking in the "standing up for what's 'right'" category. I think there is a balance I need to seek.
So I hope my disagreement with you about JIMBO doesn't affect our friendship. It certainly doesn't on my end. As long as you and I can openly share our feelings about it without disrespecting and disliking eachother, then I consider it a good friendship to have.
I'm so glad you said that, Kim. *hugs*
*sigh of relief*
Kim, you were the one person I was *really* worried about. I told Carey that last night and again this morning. I am pleased and releived to see you here this morning and I was hoping that your sentiment would be what it is. I appreciate that and your friendship. I still want to fly you out here to make sauce and drink wine with me.
*phew* I, too, was fretting about how you'd take my disagreement with you.
Just like my friends I see often, we have differening opinons and beliefs. It still doesn't change our belief in eachother as good people. You know we'd have a great time drinking wine, eating cheese and making sauce. We'll just drink more wine when the conversation turns to areas of disagreement, right?
I guess the difference here is I already knew we disagreed on the issue. I had seen you post your views on the situation. I only posted mine in one place. So when I posted on OT, I knew you were going to disagree with me. I was just afraid you were going to be MAD at me. Big difference. You and I agree on a ton of stuff just not that issue. If you come for a visit, we'll just steer clear of that.
Deal. :-)
Awwwww. Ya'll are making me weepy.
And *whacks* Tkit. Because I told you so. :)
*rubs arm* Ouch. Brat! Oooo, now my arm is hurty.
Kidding! *smooches* for you and Kim.
Now that that's all cleared up, I would like to get back to my swooning.
Hm. While I do think that it was a little out of line to post it on that thread, I can't fault you for speaking your mind. And shit! It sure did make for some interesting reading! LOL. My jaw dropped as well.
I loved what you wrote to Mystic. I don't know where she got the idea that you were saying everyone who went to Niagara was there for JIMBO. *boggle*
Anyway, no need to stay away from me. :)
*smooch*
I've actually pm'd with Jimbo today and had a very enlightening discussion. He understands my point of view very well due to a situation with one of his friends. I told him why I felt the way I did and we were both very candid. I feel badly that I vented the way I did and apologized to him. I could have said without the tantrum. As for Mystic, meh. I don't read 95% of what she writes anyway.
Tkit, I don't think *anyone* reads 95% of what Mystic writes. Estee's summaries are shorter than most of Mystic's posts.
And you? I agree with Carey about your badassness.
*pushes Carey out of the way*
*snort* at Augie. Mystic isn't nearly as bad as EMTGRL, but she's right there in second. I usually don't read most of her posts either.
For the love of dog, I wish she could respond to something without using all the extended reply with quotes stuff that makes me have to scroll and scroll and scroll to get to anything new...
Oh I counted the amount of words HD. Go look. I even posted how many.
Please note: the word counting was someone else's idea. I just ran with it. Because as I told Carey, my older dog Bear? When he decides to misbave? It's "go big or go home". So I went big.

I was actually talking about the other one because I find it so obnoxious to try to read something that looks like this.
Okay, I did go look at the thread. You know, I don't miss OT at all. I miss a few people who seem to be only there, but not so much the endless arguments. Even after a year and a half I knew exactly what many of those people were going to say. And I couldn't care less to reread their opinions.
And your post did make me jump a bit. I'm glad you and Jimbo have emailed about it. Lol at the wordcounts! Word gives you a Flesch-Kincaid Reading Level score; too bad there is no Flesch-Kincaid Stupidity Level score.
Mystic is so funny! She accused me of not reading her whole post. Now that is something she can accuse me off.
Well, I already posted my thoughts on the whole mess (and had some pming with JIMBO as well) so I'm obviously still visting you.
Thought I'd better check in here to let you know where I stand Kitty. I had missed this completely until tonight and didn't want you to think you're "not welcome" with me. I hope you knew I'd still love you. :D
As most of you know, I avoid deep end discussions like the plague because of my aversion to confrontation. I'm a total wimp. *hangs head*
While I have to admit that I had a jaw-drop moment or two as I read the whole thread, I wouldn't say I was mad at you. I'm glad that you and Jimbo had the opportunity to talk.
Kim said exactly what I wanted to say so I'll just echo her words. Thanks for saying it so well Kim. *smooches*
I suppose I should have prefaced this whole thing post with WHY it bothers me so much. My dad had an affair when I was four and my mom was 7 months pregnant with my brother. He was going to leave us for the other woman. He decided to stay but it still affects our ENTIRE family dynamic to this day.
*tiptoes in*
Everyone is entitled to how they feel -- feelings are valid and warranted. Nobody understands that more than me.
And sometimes? A good ol'fashioned "you fucking suck and here's why!!" is a good way to get the convo going. Lord knows I've started a conversation or two that way! :P
*tiptoes out*
(and please let me know if my toes should stay out...I'll understand. Believe me.)
You are always entitled to your opinion and I would never shun you away from me for having one!
I can certainly see why you would feel the way you do, TKit. My parents were divorced and it was really tough at times. I don't think I could ever break my vows for any reason and I'm pretty sure my husband would always do the same.
That being said, I don't know the whole story and I don't need to. On the flipside, I am also very happy that MCatt is happy. Given what she's been through, she deserves happiness. Of course, there are times when someone's happiness causes another to hurt. This is an unfortunate side effect of life.
Oh hell! Am I babbling?
See? I'm no good at these deep things! That's why I stay out of it.
Bottom line: I *heart* you as you are, just as I *heart* others for who they are.
I'd just like to offer *hugs* to those involved.
*hugs*
Whoops...
Oh and Miamicatt@gmail.com if you need to tell me.
:-)

Happy Birthday, Tkit. I hope you're having a great day. *birthday smooches*
T-kit, I have always adored you and will continue to do so. Well, as much as Carey will allow me LOL.
Happy Birthday sweetie!!!
*SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH*
Oh yeah, you are ALWAYS welcome in my blog. ALWAYS!
Thanks you guys! I can imagine I know who deleted the comments as that person pm'd me over at the other place about the word count. *sigh* I soooo don't care.
Anyway, my birthday has been GREAT!!! And the weather! Gorgeous. I am sad it's almost over. :(
I usually don't frequent the long threads. I guess I'll have to go check it out. You're welcome to post on my blog anytime...come on over!
You are so balsy and that's super hot.
I have no idea what post 221 means.
Seriously, no clue.
This is what I get for starting a new job. I miss everything.
Happy Belated Birthday, tkit! Cheers!
Hey. I heard you had a birthday! Happy belated birthday! :)
Did you get banned? I had to re login today. *worried look*
I just came here for the 1st time in awhile. Then I had to do a search for the thread.
Obviously you have reasons for your feelings (we all do). I've been thinking awhile before posting and probably should just walk away, but then I can't.
I just get the feeling that when you were frustrated with the tone of the discussion you picked the cruelest thing you could say. I know people like that, if you don't shut up then the most private thing they may know about you will be "slung" out in public. We all have (at least I think) done things that we are deeply conflicted about! Having it used so publically makes me sad.
*sigh*
