Reopened Comments, revised but not one of my two hundred best

July 26, 2006 By pia

I have closed comments to force them elsewhere, or because I didn’t want any for some reason, never in the middle before. But if people can’t respect others points of views, can try to be respectful

Have reopened them on the post below. I went through six oral surgeries and blogged. This pain is intense. Am now sitting on my balance stool–do feel better.

This is a pty party post. Shouldn’t be allowed near blogs today, but I wrote the post below in good faith and allowed it to be pinged and used for debate in the spirit of blogger solidarity. Don’t like to be used.

I am giving up issues because of how absurd comments can get. I can’t moderate them now. When I was asked to keep the comments for a debate, I thought it would be civil and make sense. My comment didn’t because I was having stomach spasms. Never live on tomatoes, yellow red and orange pepper salads with sides of pineapple, and other fruit. That’s my only life advice.

I have a knack for pissing people off. But I hate to fight

All I ever wanted to do on Courting was tell stories about my self-absorbed shallow life. Thought that this debate would be fun. Going back to my totally superficially life. Know people on all sides of the “fights” think that.

Yes the world is in bad shape. Doesn’t mean we have to give up doing what makes us personally happy. I haven’t been a happy blogger and I have a right to personal, life and blogging happiness.

There are many times that I feel like apologizing for Courting’s success. Why should I? I work every day of the year. I worked on other blogs. I write my book–I have admin things with that. I have to earn a living also. Do it on the Internet. And many other responsibilities. I’m not a slacker though many people would like to think of me as a slacker who somehow has a highly ranked blog. Easier to think that I’m shallow or vengeful or a bazillion other things.

I’m a woman with a blog and a life. One that I would like to begin living again.

My life is too computer centric. My real life friends were ready to give up on me. Love my friends. We’re family in the truest sensel

My oldest blogging friends have been angry that I spend too much time blogging. I can’t blame them. My real blogging friends, and there are many, are wonderful. You all know who you are.

Seem to invite comments that tell me how to live or denigrate my morals. The comments on the post below aren’t an example of that.

I have a right to have a “fun” blog that I can enjoy. I’m just so tired of self-important hypocrites who think that their cause is the only important thing. I’m neither shallow nor self-absorbed and invite people who tell me that to look in a mirror. I also think that people should understand that politics or causes aren’t the only important thing in the world. Far far from itl

When I talk about bloggers burn out, I’m not joking. I will have Courting on vacation–if I go. Have to get my dentists approval to fly. Hope that this is only trapped gas. Feels like death.

Sorry if this is an explicit or depressing post. Yes I’m complaining. My blog, Sar and I were used, and that pisses me off.

Vote for Sar.

    yikes, trapped gas. I live on those foods but I think I amused to them because we grew up eating only that stuff.

    I think you should not worry about all that other stuff. It is what it is and that is the way it is and is going to be.

    I don’t really know what you are talking about but whatever it is if somenoe is using you it is because you are worth using…..doesn’t make it any better of course but it’s better than not being worth using.

    Well I’m sure I’ve made you feel a whole lot better…

    sorry.

    Feel better and if it is trapped gas just roll rock back and forth on your knees. Fast and hard.

    Don’t ask me how I know that.

    I love reading your blog every time I come by. I’m sorry to hear you’re having troubles and I hope they clear up for you soon and that you’re able to go on vacation. Everyone needs one sometimes!

    I do it for the frustration… But I turned it around today on my blog. I figure, when I get those unusual hits off of Google or comments that I find hilarious from spammers, I just write about them. A good example on my blog right now. Some people keep coming and reading but are only there because they went to IKEA and bought a faucet that is near impossible to install at home here in America because, a) it’s metric and b) it’s got these strangle little pipes coming out of it that you cannot remove to make the faucet work. I conquered it and wrote about it. And that pia, is what blogging is about. (Don’t dare go to BIO and see the 100 plus comment chain!!! It’ll drive you bananas!!!)

    Does trapped gas have anything to do with the kegel? Which was my previous fave post of yours, as you know.

    Whenever I used to have a problem, not with trapped gas, other problems, my Dad would always say, “Can we talk about this after Sanford & Son goes off?”

    And most of the time I had forgotten my problem by the time it went off.

    Hi Pia,

    What can I say? Blog don’t blog, it’s yours to speak your mind. I just don’t get why people would be upset with anything you blog about. I have yet to read a single post, even words in a post that I didn’t enjoy, understand, have empathy for, chuckle over. Folks, if you read this, just back off and stop harassing Pia. She is a wonderful person and has a wonderful blog, if you don’t get it, go away.

    I’m just a vague shadow in cyberspace but keep blogging whatever you do and I hope you feel better.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
