        <p>[Last time for intruding upon your Group.&#160; Sorry for all this]</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>When you talk to mum again, tell her how much I appreciated being invited to that little ceremony at the cemetary after Uncle Bob passed away.&#160; I had actually been debating whether to go or not, but was leaning more towards &quot;Yes&quot; because I didn&#39;t know when I would see all my relatives together again&#160;(on my mum&#39;s side, of course).&#160; I thought it would be rather nice to see you all, and I wouldn&#39;t be trapped inside someone&#39;s house...I could walk around the cemetary, talk with people, see how much everyone has changed since I left and then came back from California.&#160; So, I was waiting for mum to tell me when it was to be held.&#160; Next thing I knew, it was OVER....and so was the celebration of his life at Carole&#39;s house.&#160; I wasn&#39;t invited.&#160; </p>
<p>Go ahead, tell them.&#160; You&#39;ve read all my other personal postings.&#160; NOT MEANT FOR YOUR EYES, OF COURSE.&#160; And you may not think so, but by not telling me who you are and that you&#39;re reading my Blog, you are for all purposes LYING to me.&#160; What a great bunch of relatives and friends of the family that are out there.&#160; I&#39;m just LOVING how you have all snuck into my personal, private world and SPY.&#160; Guess what?&#160; Believe this or not....and it may come as quite a shock to you....BUT MY LIFE IS NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW!!!!&#160; And then to talk about it?!?&#160; And I just know that not one single person is going to &#39;fess up, are you?&#160; Ooohhh....I hear that little gossip network again.&#160; Hard at work....did you just read what she just wrote?</p>
<p>If you don&#39;t even invite me to the cemetary,&#160; why the HECK would I want you reading about my personal life?????&#160; And so far, not even ONE person has agreed with what you all have done.&#160; This is not a newsletter that I send out to my relatives and friends.......this is my Blog that I (meaning of *I* = ME), and only *I* get to choose who gets to read.&#160; I had no problems with strangers reading it, but I most certainly do when it&#39;s people I know and they are all &quot;whisper, whisper&quot;....we won&#39;t talk to her, we won&#39;t let her know we are here.&#160; We&#39;ll just violate her privacy, and spread the news.&#160; Who knew the internet could be so much fun.&#160; Hey, you are all a spy network now!&#160; Good for you!</p>
<p>Again, thanks for the invite to the cemetary.&#160; Thumbs up.&#160; Great idea!</p>
<p>I&#39;m getting off the computer now.&#160; You&#39;ve completely ruined something that was special to me.&#160; Thank you kindly.</p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p><strong>[Sorry for intruding again, but I don&#39;t know where these people are located...so I have to send the message out to them through all of my Groups.&#160; Thanks, guys]</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Okay, I don&#39;t know who these people are that know my parents as well as know that I have a Blog and Username.&#160; How, or more especially, WHY would they hunt me down on the internet&#160;like a rabid dog?&#160; And then not even letting me know that they are reading my posts?&#160; They HID from me while checking everything out about me.&#160; How did they know my Username???&#160; How did they even know I had a Blog??&#160; I certainly didn&#39;t tell anyone other than my kids, a couple of friends in the US, and my mum (who still doesn&#39;t understand it...she thinks blogging is the same as Messenger.&#160; I&#39;m not even going to bother to explain to her).</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anyways, I just checked my regular email, and there was a message from her.&#160; A new message from mum, part of which says: &quot;&#160;I thought BLOGGING would be the same as when I used to have MESSENGER.&#160; &#160;&#160;&#160;I only had 3 or 4 people who could get on it and I thought you&#39;d be able to do the same with BLOGGING.&#160; &#160; &#160; I guess anyone can get on because I&#39;ve heard from more than one person.&#160; &#160; They thought I should know.&#160; &#160;&#160;&#160;It seems terrible that you went through that on Saturday morning and your family didn&#39;t know.&quot;</strong></p>
<p><strong>For starters, it didn&#39;t happen on Saturday.&#160; And what REALLY bothers me is that &quot;more than one person&quot; has been in touch with her about this.&#160; What the HECK?!?&#160; Why would they possibly think that she should know?&#160; I can understand if I had ended up in the hospital, but this is ridiculous.</strong></p>
<p><strong>So.....it&#39;s not just one person reading my Blog and &quot;ratting me out&quot;, so to speak.&#160; And my dad thinks it&#39;s unethical to tell me their names.&#160; Gosh darn it!!!&#160; Both the gossipers and my parents are wrecking my little world here on the internet.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#39;m going to have to go Private.&#160; I hate that.&#160; If I delete you and you are totally innocent, I really have to apologize.&#160; I don&#39;t know what I&#39;m looking for.&#160; And when you go Private, does anyone know if your postings will still end up on the internet...outside of the Blogging company?&#160; I&#39;ve found a ton of things that I&#39;ve written posted on the internet when I googled my Username.&#160; What&#39;s the point of going private if it&#39;s still going to get on the internet?&#160; I guess if that happens, I&#39;ll have to change my Username and go someplace else.&#160; But I enjoy this little Blogging site simply because it&#39;s not one of the BIG ones.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#39;ll try going Private later on.....and then check to see if it gets onto the internet.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>Unethical to tell me their names??&#160; That&#39;s not right.&#160; That&#39;s simply protecting them.&#160; THEY violated my space.&#160; I do NOT want to share my life with these people who know my parents....and who probably are my relatives!!&#160; I don&#39;t have a problem with them reading everything else, but not the PERSONAL postings.&#160; Gosh.....I&#39;m just really irritated now.&#160; YOU HEAR ME??&#160; I&#39;M REALLY ANNOYED WITH YOUR BEHAVIOR!!!!&#160; SINCE YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE HERE, THAN I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT YOU WERE PRACTICALLY SPYING ON ME!&#160; I THINK YOUR WAY OF FOLLOWING SOMEONE&#39;S LIFE IS EXTREMELY UNETHICAL.......HIDING FROM ME!!&#160; WHAT TYPE OF RELATIVE OR FRIEND DOES THAT??&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#39;ve had enough of this.&#160; I&#39;ll go private eventually, and if I find some postings on the internet while in the Privacy Mode, then a lot will be changing.&#160; Sorry, guys.&#160; Some people don&#39;t know when to keep their mouths zipped.&#160; This was MY affair, and it was MY decision to make as to who I would tell.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>I don&#39;t know when I&#39;ll change over, but you&#39;ll know when you go to my homepage.&#160; If you&#39;ve been made an innocent victim because of these &quot;well-meaning&quot; people, then I will look into it further.&#160; I can&#39;t stand that my parents don&#39;t see MY side of it.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>Or maybe I&#39;ll just stay the way I am....knowing I&#39;m being WATCHED (which really gets my blood boiling!!!!!!!)...but just posting the way I used to.&#160; Nothing personal anymore.&#160; I don&#39;t know.&#160; Does anyone know if going Private keeps the posts off the internet??</strong></p>
<p><strong>I can just see their little gossiping circle.&#160; One phones another with my Username, then another phones around and comments on the half-nude woman I posted (for shame!), and another calls the others to listen to one of my songs, and then they ALL phone mum and dad about my little adventure.&#160; Oh, I&#39;m sure they&#39;ve called different times.&#160; But hey....photos do wonders to liven up a story!</strong></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

<p>TO THE TORMENTING, UGLY&#160;GOSSIPER:&#160;</p>
<p><strong>I don&#39;t know who you are, but you had absolutely no right whatsoever to send those photos and postings to my PARENTS (who are in their 70&#39;s, and my mum JUST lost her brother!!!!).&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>This is a safe site.&#160; We have Usernames.&#160; We don&#39;t tell who we really are unless we become friendly in private.&#160; This was the most unethical way to respond to someone&#39;s postings!&#160; Why didn&#39;t you just private message me in the Blog mailbox?&#160; You don&#39;t sneak around behind my back and tell something like that incident (photos and all!!!!!!!!!!) to MY aging parents!&#160; Who do you think you are?&#160; My guardian angel??&#160; My dad has high blood pressure, my mum is having tests done.&#160; Years ago, mum had a very slight heart attack when my sister was in a car accident and they were told that she probably wouldn&#39;t make it through the night.&#160; Now these people are in their SEVENTIES!!!!!&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>These are MY parents.&#160; This is MY safe place to come to and usually just post stupid stuff, but sometimes I open up and write about personal events.&#160; YOU HAD NO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&#160; This was NOT your place to jump in and get in touch with MY parents.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>WHO ARE YOU??????????</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you like my Blog, I can change the settings so that you can read everything EXCEPT personal postings.&#160; If you don&#39;t send me a message through the Blog mail, I will have to make this a PRIVATE Blog.....meaning that the only ones who see it are the ones I invite.&#160; I don&#39;t like doing that.&#160; And I absolutely HATE that my privacy was invaded in such a *stab-in-the-back* manner!!!!!!!!!!!!!&#160; What I write is NOT for people to tattle to my parents.&#160; If I had wanted them to know....I WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO TELL THEM!!!!!!!&#160; Were you looking for a thrill by&#160;showing them?&#160; Are you one of those gossipy jerks who just HAS to get involved......in something that has NOTHING to do with you??&#160;&#160;Like I said, if I wanted to tell my elderly parents what had happened.....maybe I would have&#160;once that event was long past and a part of ancient history.....because by THAT time, they wouldn&#39;t be so upset.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>YOU ARE A COMPLETE AND UTTER JERK AND I WANT YOU OFF MY BLOG!!!!!&#160; WHY would ANYONE show&#160;an elderly couple who love me those photos??????&#160; YOU have NO ethics!&#160; Guess I should have taken photos when I lived with my husband....boy....look at these, mum.&#160; Look how pretty my husband made me look today.&#160; But I&#39;ve barely told them anything, and you darn well had better NOT be relating anything I&#39;ve said about HIM to my parents!!!!!!!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#39;ll give you a day to respond to this.&#160; I won&#39;t answer you back.&#160; I will just change the settings so that you can see the funny, the amusing, the&#160;nice photos,&#160;watch the videos.&#160; I mean.....that&#39;s why you joined my Blog, RIGHT??&#160; Not to get a thrill out of the few postings I&#39;ve made that were completely OFF LIMITS to a busy-body like yourself!&#160; Take your little spying eyes and tattling mouth and GET OUT OF HERE.&#160; And if I don&#39;t hear from you in a day, my Blog goes Private.&#160; I don&#39;t want to do that because it means that new people who cross through my Blog, decide to check it out, and find&#160;that they like it (except for the past few months, where I haven&#39;t been doing much of anything funny&#160;because of DEATH and now this incident)....well, they can&#39;t see anything and join my neighborhood OR just check out my Blog from time to time....because it will be in Private setting.&#160; That takes away the whole purpose of my posting at all.....to entertain people.&#160; And I&#39;m mad as [bleep] at YOU for interfering where you had NO right.....regardless of what happened to me.&#160; You are NOT my parents&#39; own little personal spy!!!!&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>So send me a message or I go Private, which defeats the whole purpose of my Blog in the first place!!!!!!!&#160; Can you tell that I&#39;m MAD at you???&#160; You have NO common&#160;sense to have done what you did...nada, nil, none.&#160; It was an extremely selfish and unethical motive to&#160;send ANYTHING to my parents.....my gosh, especially those photos!!!!!!&#160; THEY ARE ELDERLY!!!!&#160; And if my dad strokes out or&#160;something happens to my mum, it rests on YOUR head!!!!&#160; I am 43-years old.&#160; I don&#39;t need a babysitter&#160;who wants to live vicariously through MY life.&#160; GET AWAY FROM ME.&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>1.&#160; Send me a private Blog message with name and Username</strong></p>
<p><strong>2.&#160; I will change the settings so you can still see everything that is non-personal (because that is the reason you look at my Blog, correct?&#160; It couldn&#39;t possibly be that you&#39;re NOSEY!!!!!!!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. If I don&#39;t hear from you in one day, then I HAVE to go Private.&#160; It also means I have to dump a lot of people from my neighborhood, who are perfectly innocent, but I don&#39;t know who the &quot;spy&quot; is.&#160; In fact, you may not even be in&#160;my neighborhood....you might just watch my Blog.&#160; That means I&#39;d be deleting people who are so undeserving of that.&#160; But, at least by being Private, I can entertain my own neighborhood and even talk about personal issues.&#160; Jeepers....did you send those photos to my parents where I was wearing the slinky red outfit with the&#160;high black boots??&#160; You are NOT my internet moniter!!!!!!!&#160; </strong></p>
<p><strong>4.&#160; ONE DAY.&#160; Then things will have to change because of YOU.&#160; Thanks for violating my private space and showing parts of my Blog to my parents!!!&#160; I can&#39;t believe anyone would do such a thing!!!!&#160; What, exactly, were you hoping to achieve??&#160; WHAT??????&#160; Do you think those photos really, truly made my parents feel good?&#160; Are you out of your mind??&#160; I wouldn&#39;t even show them to my parents.....and who the heck are YOU to do it????????&#160; Stop hiding, and tell me who you are.</strong></p>

 <div>Does this look like&#160;the&#160;face of a cold blooded killer to you? &#160;Well- don&#39;t let those innocent eyes fool you. &#160;This dog is responsible for 17 dead bunnies in our back yard in the last 5 months alone. &#160;She is a maniac and has bad breath to boot.</div><div><br /></div><div>Poor Breezy- she is my overweight whippet (yes, I have an overweight AND and underweight whippet) that is 9 years old but she still has that spring in her step. &#160;When she was younger her favorite sport was either chasing squirrels in the park (and yes she caught one) or chasing the racing lure around (and no we didn&#39;t race her- it was just us running with a lure). &#160;We moved about 6 years ago into a neighborhood with no mature trees- hence, no squirrels....so she lost the flavor...well- we may not have squirrels, but we sure do have rabbits. &#160;And rabbits aren&#39;t the smartest, or fastest animals. &#160;It started on Easter weekend when Breeze took care of a family of 6 rabbits....and since then, its been one or two here and there. &#160;Yesterday, I went outside to feed the dogs, and a baby bunny was laying there- mauled.</div><div><br /></div><div>I guess its just the nature of the beast, but I still always feel terrible when I see one dead. &#160;But&#160;apparently, if it weren&#39;t for Breeze, we&#39;d be over run with rabbits in our backyard.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love you Breezy!</div>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p>This is the bane of the lives of many parents I know as it means coming up with a costume for the child to participate in the dreaded school Book Week Parade!&#160; Unfortunately our neighbours with the fantastic dress up collection have moved away so my daughter can&#39;t borrow their dragon tail like she did last year (and on a number of other occasions).&#160; I am thinking Puss in Boots for my son and Pippi Longstocking for my daughter.&#160; Now to convince them!</p>
<p>Here are some photos from&#160;past dress up occasions:</p>
<p>This fairy outfit actually used to be my daughter&#39;s regular day wear.&#160; Now she loathes the colour pink and anything too &quot;girly&quot;.</p>
