Stunned Right now I am totally stunned! I came to read the blogs and to check the comments on my last post. Everyone who has read my blogs have always been very encouraging and understanding. Many read it, but don't comment and that is okay too. But today, someone who I have never talked to, never commented on his writing, at least to my knowledge, posted a really hateful comment to my most recent post. He implied that I whined to my doctor. Where does that come from? I talk about my feelings, my thoughts here, openly and honestly, and perhaps it comes across whining at times. I think all of us have moments of doubt, insecurity, a sense of "Why me?". I think that it helps others to know that they are not the only ones feeling these things. So I am honest with them and write about them. If you are a regular reader of my blogs, you know that I always work through the negative thinking and rebound with hope, renewed faith in God and joy. Sharing that process is also important, mostly to me, but to others also, I think. Guess I am asking those of you who are regular readers, do I whine? Are my blogs too personal? Should I change the focus of my blog? As for the one who posted the hate, I will try to forgive. It truly blows me away that someone could attack so viciously for no reason. As for my whine to my doctor. She listened to my concerns and changed my medication. My cough has vanished and I have not used my inhaler for 4 days. Stating what I know about my own body is not whining. Sheesh.. I am really trying to be part of this community, but it gets harder everyday. Rosi |

You are not a winner. You are open about your experiences with issues most of us here have or will face. I am sorry you have had to experience this but over all you will find there are more here who will be supportive than hurtful. Just ask those who have had life changing events recently. The individual you mention does make strange comments to me often. Most of the time I am not sure how to take it so let it go. Sometimes I see humor sometimes insults. Who knows. Unfortunately there are a few here who do intentionally insult. If they really make you upset once you have identified them block them. I have only had to do this once and that was becasue this individual kept sending me filthy e-mails that were so descriptive they disgusted me which is pretty hard to do. The rest? I won't acknowledge their insults with a response let alone buy into the arguments. Keep sharing and I'll keep reading and commenting when I have something worth saying. By the way your doctor issues are shared by more than not. Finding a doctor you can work with is harder than most think. Spiritwoman ^i^

Hi Rosi: I can't say for certain, but I think Rent may have just been flirting with you.  Just kidding Rosi, but I admire people like you who are open and honest about their life and their feelings, so hope you don't allow one comment influence or change the way you blog.

Silver, Being new it's hard to get a grip on us people here, What people say here about rentiers true. Never assume continuity in what he says, other than the monkey wrench he's usually throwing in there to try and fix what your thinking. It's is not personal with rentier, he doesn't really care what people think of him. I like him, every time he posts something, he challenges me to figure what the heck he's saying.

My comment was quite serious. I suppose I could have let it slide, but it seemed to me it might be useful to you to get a different opinion. Everyone was patting you on the back and saying "There, there, you poor dear". If you believe my comment unwarranted feel free to ignore it. But there was no ill will on my part. I just calls 'em as I sees them.

It was not sarcasm.

No joshing at all in this case. And this post simply reinforces my original thought on the matter.

I dont take too much notice of Rentier either but when it comes to someones health issues I think its quite serious. We have lost a lot of members here recently, and they did get a chance to say how they felt, and how they worried.

Your last sentence, to put it mildly, is an understatement.

I think your blog is YOUR blog, and you may write about whatever you want (within the respect others deserve), including sharing things of your own life, if you wish. Some people have changed the true meaning of this site, which is to find friendship. Don't be upset, Rosi.  Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)
