Starting with a quote.

"Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all."

~ Leila Sales, This Song Will Save Your Life

 

Secondly, once again, if you comment and Typepad eats it, would you pretty please let me know.  I found our Natalie in the spam filter and I'm sure she wan't having any fun there.  I do try to check regularly but I don't want anyone being stuck with those fake Louis bag people if we can help it.  Thank you!

3rd, I've had my fill of people taking shots at me.  If you don't like me, don't read me.  It really is that simple.  I am tired of having to email around comments to get a second opinion because I can't figure out intent.  See above quote please.

Nextly, the trying too hard is making me angry, tired and hate you.  Please just stop it.

Lastly, I am loving the hat I'm working on, greatly enjoying the dramaz, and stunned that anyone would start a group without an actual plan.  Just sayin'...

Oh, and ending with a quote.  Thanks.

I'd prefer doing shots with you.

[Cheryl S.]

Sigh.
Happy New Year.

[CindyCindy]

The sad thing is that I don't believe the people you are talking about will get it. Self awareness is a rare gift indeed! Love you and encourage to you start my new mantra "I refuse to accept this (or, you) as a problem."

[Trish]

Shotsssssssssssss. Yes, shots. Doing the shots, not taking the shots.

[Yarndude]

Someone said we're all doing shots? I'm in.

[Anne]

SHOTS! What kind?

[margene]

Yes! Let's do shots! I keep telling myself "you are not that person". Anything someone says about you is really about them. Pot shots are just that...going nowhere. You're fabulous, in my book. Remember it. :) xoxox

[Stacey]

I still get confused. Is she taking shots or trying to be funny, witty, whatever and failing badly? I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I understand the frustration of having to figure out what they really mean or where they're coming from. Of course, some people are just mean/ unhappy and need that shit in their lives.

[Marilyn]

I've learned from being on fb with my great-nieces that some people can't live without drama in their lives and if it isn't there they create it. Hope the drama and pot-shot-taking goes away.
Looking forward to seeing the hat!!

Did I miss the shots (the alcoholic ones, not the pot shots)? I'm in for the doing of shots....what time, where?! Oh, am I sounding too desperate? I am turning a big number tomorrow and becoming a grandmother in August and drinking seems like a plan at the moment.

I tend not to read previous comments when commenting myself, so I have no idea what you are talking about. How could anyone not like you? I find you hilarious and honest and entertaining, not to mention a fabulous knitter and spinner.

So there.

[Patty]

I love the hat I'm working on too. And taking shots...grow up people! Now the other kind of shots...;-)

[Sarah]

I'm sorry people are being unkind to you. I know how that can take its toll. I hope more niceness makes its way to you soon, and that always, you are making the niceness to yourself. xoxo

[gayle]

What kmkat said. You are one of my favorite humans.
And I'm in, too, with the doing shots. Here's to you, sweetheart!

[AnneMarie inVA]

Maybe you should be doing the shots before reading the comments!! And I must say, I have never understood the way people would rather complain, rant, and try to get negative attention instead of just shutting up and looking more intelligent than they really are. I used to only feel that way in relation to politics. But the internet changed all that. And not for the better. But that's why I usually don't bother reading the comments.

[Datagoddess]

*gets the tequila bottle* Did someone say shots??

[Kelly]

Haha, I like that everyone is suggesting doing shots, sounds like a good party. Why would anyone spend time reading and commenting on a blog they don't like? My feed reader is too long already, beween the knitting and food blogs, cute overload and the fail blog.

[Helen]

Ignore the bitches.

I come for the knitting and spinning and now
the shots.

P.S. I only do tequila shots. Are you with me? I see Datagoddess is on team T!!! Good time guaranteed. xo
