Comment on This is the end by Jessi

I, too, will miss it. I’m not sure if I’ve ever even commented here, but I stop by when I get the chance. I completely understand why you’d want to stop blogging, though, and certainly respect that decision. Maybe you’ll get the urges and cravings to blog again someday, but it’s so much more fun to do it without pressure and concern, so if it never returns, then so be it….at least you’re happier without the extra stress from something that was intended to be stress-free. Good luck with the real world….I hear that it’s really fun.

I’ll miss your blog, but I understand. I’ve tried several times to start my own and it just never works out. Oh well. Best of luck and I’ll check back occasionally just in case…

I let out a groan of dispair when I realized where you were going in this post. But I do understand about it feeling like chore, though. That’s why I decided to post a B.W.O. (Blogging Without Obligatioin) icon on mine, I guess just giving myself permission to only post when I feel like it. When I started and named my blog *Ms Judy’s House of Fun* my life was so different. So much more fun. But I know what you mean about baring your soul … for me, I have not put my grief out there in my blog like I could have .. it is really upsets people. They worry about me and suggest ways I could fix myself … therapy, drugs, etc. All I was wanting was to just talk about it, feel it, and get through it … that’s what grieving is like. So .. I make a point of keeping things light. Posting fun things that I’d share with readers who are friends and family …. like the photo with Andrew and Monica when they visited so you and others of that era can see it. I do have a secret blog to spill my guts but still don’t really do that … what if someone found it and wanted to argue with me about my beliefs … see? I get you! LOL I’ll miss your blog. It’s the first one I check each day. I hope you’ll post sometimes to give me a glimpse since I’m not one that gets to visit with you in person or send me a newsy email if you get a chance! I’ll be counting on seeing your comments. See you at the wedding!

Comment on Meme by ihearttheastros

Locke - I understand when something bothers you SO much that you feel the need to tell random strangers about it. But honestly, I could care less what you think of me and what I post on my website, and I think it’s a little funny that you took the time out of your day to tell me what an idiot I am.

Comment on Meme by Locke

I feel the need to disseminate this horrible abuse of the word meme, and what I posted at Hallqs page sufficiently gets across my point, so I’ll paste:
Sorry, but you are entirely misdirected about what a ‘meme’ is. A survey or chain letter or pass-me-on or whatever this is has no relation to the word. In order to not look silly or foolish, you should research terms before using them. You can’t make something a meme just by declaring it so, and if this was one, it would be instantly recognized and occur regularly in the social consciousness in various forms. All your base are belong to us and LOLcats are memes, ‘list 7 weird things about yourself’ is a survey at best, and a piece of unsolicited spam chainmail at worst. Also, a meme can’t be ‘invented,’ a meme just happens.

re: the Slate piece. I’m curious about the statistics. Fifty percent of all gay couples in Texas are currently raising children, and they aren’t married. Are gay women raising children together lumped together into the pool of other unmarried women?

I think the European model supports the choice of having children without marrying more than the U.S. system does. IE, there are more benefits for people with children who are married than those who aren’t — taxes, finances, etc.
