Tell Me How You Really Feel About Me

Dear Anonymous,
It is pretty clear to me that we do not know each other, because you do not understand my intentions at all. Maybe we HAVE met...but you do not know me. I invite you to quit reading my blog at any time. I write for me, my friends, and my family. People who do not know me are welcome to blurk, as long as they realize that they, as you said yourself, "never know where these ladies are coming from in their life". Unfortunately, NOT knowing me puts A LOT of things I write out of context, from your perspective. I feel sad that you are offended by my posts, but I really don't feel a need to apologize for what I write. If you REALLY knew me, you would more than likely have a different reaction to my blog. I totally respect your decision to post anonymously. I like to 'dish' ...and as I am (obvious to anyone who knows me) totally aware of my many imperfections, I am also willing to 'take'.

And I don't "seek out" opportunities to make fun of others. They just happen to me. It's a sequined flapper dress with FLEAS....how does one NOT find humor in that?

Sincerely, Meg

Ok. I did not post this to mock the person who left this comment. (It feels strange that I should even have to SAY that. Does anyone know me at all?!) I had 2 reasons for doing this.
1) hope that anonymous would see the post and read my reply
2) remind everyone that most blogs are written with intended readers. On our blog, all readers are welcome, but understand that not knowing me automatically puts you at a disadvantage and you just might not "get it".

My blog had 121 hits yesterday. I don't think I even know 121 people.
I am certain that everyone who reads this blog has an opinion, whether you know me or not. With as many people that stop me in the street, grocery store, gas station, park, library, bank, hardware store, and Sam's Club, I am starting to think that it must feel REALLY REALLY good to tell me exactly what you think of me. Since many of us are so far away from each other, the likeliness of "running into me" at the store just isn't there. I'd like to provide all of my readers with this same opportunity to feel REALLY REALLY good. Soooooo...
Today is an official free for all! Tell me how you really feel about me. HolleeAnn, you KNOW I can't wait to be "validated".


I promise to "exercise my patience" as I read all 121 comments.
