That's us...cheering each other onward...

LOL! Uh, huh, and we all look like that in short skirts.

Rogi, you really are a lesson to all of us not to judge a book by its cover. Its such a shame that we jump to conclusions about what type of person someone is by the way they look. I love reading your blog - you are a very intelligent woman. Hopefully you find support here on this forum.

PS: Many of us are grey haired and could/should (me included) lose a few pounds.

Ditto!!!

Rogi....I appreciate the creativity with which you problem solve the daily survival issues given the limited resources that you have. McGyver (sp) should be so talented. And hopefully the "helpful" good person that is trying to send stuff to you backs off and respects your requests for privacy and autonomy.....

Yeah, when she asked for a picture of my feces, and said she'd been in a car wreck because someone's stalking her, I got totally weirded out. What if she's the stalker? She already sent me a private message through Facebook, "Isn't that what blogs are for, etc." TEN TIMES A DAY???? An HOUR or more at a time???? YEARS of old posts???? She did say she's afraid to visit my blog or write to me anymore. We'll see how long THAT lasts!

She read a comment I made to a musician's post on FaceBook, visited my FB page, found a link to my blog. Then she private messaged me, saying it sounded like I could use some help. She had this and that lying around the house she could send, and what else did I need. I said, cat food, cheap pants, cheap shoes and some sea shells. Next thing I know, she has shipped a TWENTY NINE POUND box from Florida, via UPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no such thing as a free lunch, I'm tellin' ya!

If she doesn't back off, I'm going to publish her name in my blog. I need to worry about MY life, MY safety and MY needs! I appreciate her thoughtfulness, but not if I'm going to be scared out of my freakin' MIND! Y'know????

So, it's toasty warm in here and, if I had any damn thawed out water, I'd take a freakin' bath. Might go get that immersion coil out of that bathroom and use what's left in this soup kettle. It's got bits of gawd knows what in it, so I used some of it to wash dishes yesterday. It's good enough for a bath. And man, I'm so fragrant!

THANK you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for your support, understanding and compassion.

Anybody down near Clearwater, Fla., who can check up on this freak, if she causes me any trouble????

I'm not being ungrateful, honest. She's WEIRDING ME OUT! A picture of my POOP???????????? WHO ASKS THAT of a total stranger?????????????????????

Guess I'm not a stranger, though; she knows more about me than I can remember, myself!!!!!!!!!!!!

That had better be DAMN good cat food she's sending!

[avalen]

maybe it was a typo and she meant face and not fece. If she really meant fece, I'd be
weirded out too.

Rogi, I just read your latest blog entry. Do you think you might be better served by ignoring this person that is, as you say, "harassing" you on your Blog and/or Facebook? Maybe take a moment to laugh at the insanity of whatever reason this person might have in bugging you, or maybe warm at the thought that someone wants to help you?

From my perspective, and mine alone, you appear to be wasting a great deal of energy on something over which you have no control - the opinions of others. Yet you put your Blog out there for people to read (and it's an unusual blog, to be sure), post your opinions on all sorts of matters all over the internet, including your Blog address, and then become angry when people read your blog and may or may not agree with you and the circumstances in which you live...

I'm confused about your goal - what you hope to achieve, and would really like for you to enlighten me...

Thanks.

Well, I guess you told me, didn't you.
Okay, then - I guess you will continue on here with your "monologue" and your blog links.
I like this forum as a place of discourse and "dialogue", not a one-sided diatribe.
You and I appear to have vastly differing opinions on what constitutes a "forum".

For your sake, and the sake of your animals, I hope your weather warms.
Good luck to you.

I agree with Mitch's definition of the forum and comments. It's hard to provide positive support when it is so one-sided.

Look, I have kept my posts and links about my work on my trailer. SOMEBODY ELSE MENTIONED THAT OTHER PERSON, NOT I! If you have a problem with that, tell it to that other person. I simply replied to her.

If you DON'T want to discuss another subject, brought up by a person other than myself, WHY are you bringing it up?

I came here to post about the work I'm doing on my TRAILER!

Someone made a comment in one line supporting you - and YOU then took that to talk about FECES and how this person is crazy, etc - which sent more to read about THAT. You need to lighten up here. If you post it in your blog, have a link to your blog, it becomes part of conversations with you.
