Talk...

Just putting up a new post.

I have had to remove some comments again due to vulgar language.  With the new commenting from blogger if the comment is removed and you replied within that comment it also removes your comments also.

Enjoy the weekend!

Open

I'm putting up a new post because I have the comments set to go into moderation once the blog post is over 14 days.  This prevents someone from coming along and adding a comment to an old post.

I've noticed..some things NEVER change and I'm bored with hearing all the nagging over silly stuff.  WASH RINSE REPEAT over and over. 

To all the people upset about Mckmama, have you thought of all the time you are wasting?  This is time in your life you can never get back.  Time you could be spending with your own family, children or a shut-in.  Your obsession has now become an addiction and based on the volume of time all of you spend on Mckmama..your own families need to do an intervention!!

Step away from the computer screen and enjoy the summer!  Give your own children 100% of yourself, not you glued to the computer screen obsessing over someone you don't even know IRL. 

Isn't it funny..Mckmama is the one spending time with her children while all of you sit in front of your computers or phones and pick apart her every move.  I'm sure she is getting a good laugh at the irony of this.  Don't forget your disqus accounts tell just how many hours you spend on MWOP.

OPEN POST

To the ladies who have sent emails..sorry I am on vacation and have not been online much.  I will not be home until the Tuesday after Memorial Weekend so I will be answering emails then.

Since I've not been online much I have no idea what is going on in the blog world, nor do I care!  LOL 

I'm currently spending a few days with my daughters and g-daughters and then it is off to the lake for some sun and sand!!  Hope you all have a safe holiday weekend !

Feel free to discuss whatever..

Now MWOP Bullies Babies?

UPDATE*  LilBit03187 is making fun of the looks of a sick child!  Are these women even human?  I'm really sick in my stomach reading this.  LilBit also supplied another comment  with hints of the mother's blog (I'm not posting it because you would find it) so others at MWOP can go see just what she is talking about.   Yelp..another one headed straight for hell!

What is wrong with these women?

No tongue lashing from me, either. Been there myself! There's a certain blog I follow, & while the child in question does have medical issues, they're not the kind that would necessarily affect facial appearance. The child just is not at all cute, IMO. I felt bad thinking that for a good while, too, but I think we've all been there.

Are they bored and lonely and have nothing better to do with their time?

When did it become acceptable to make fun of babies? 

Hopped The Fence started this conversation on MWOP making fun of another bloggers baby.  Hey Hopped The Fence, do you have any children?  How about you post a few pictures and let's see what people would have to say about your children.  I wonder how you would feel?  You even gave all the information for others to find this woman's blog.  What are you jealous of Erin too?  It's not enough for you to make fun of Mckmama and her children?  Yes, you are going to hell!  This is one of the lowest things I have ever seen on Mwop and I have seen some bad stuff.

I have a confession to make, and I have a feeling it's not going to be a very popular or well received one. But I just have to know...am I the only one who's ever felt this way?
I read a blog. It's a lovely blog. But the woman's baby (1 year old) is [how should I say this] just not very easy on the eyes and I cringe every time I see him. I know. Y'all probably have me going straight to Hell for feeling that way and sharing it, but I just have the strongest reaction when I see his pictures and I'm wondering why. He's a sweet baby. All babies are sweet. And precious. And cuddly. But this one is just...I don't know. I should probably stop there. I do know this: nothing is "wrong" with the child, so before anyone starts saying he may have this or that, no he does not.
I'm fully prepared for a lashing, especially from the holier-than-thous that show up just for that purpose. But to everyone else -- have you ever had such a strong reaction to a baby's appearance before? Normally, I'm just smitten by little ones.
::::prepared for my tongue lashing of "You're going to Hell you sick, cruel, piece of shit woman for saying such a thing about babies." ::::

I was really surprised by my initial reaction when he was born (year ago). But I noticed that every time I'd visit the blog, I'd rush to scroll past his pictures. And when that's all there are, I just close it down. It's the wierdest reaction. I wish I didn't feel that way, but I'm more baffled that I do.

Now SNORT had to add her thoughts on the topic.  Hey SNORT, or is it Mrs Jackson?  Since I know who you are,  how about I find out who your friend is with the red headed kid that looks like a monkey.  I think she may like to know what you think of her child.  Some friend you are.

Whether or not people will admit it, I believe alot alot of people feel that way about some children but won't own up to it because we are conditioned to believe that all kids are beautiful, precious, little miracles. That said, I have always thought that my dear friend's baby looks like a monkey with red hair. I get weirded out looking at the daughter of one of my old high school boyfriends. And I really like what GlassyGirl said below:  every person has visual likes/dislikes; we're human

Of course Still Have My Golden Ticket had to chime in also.  I wonder WHY you didn't tell your friend her babies head had finally caught up to her body?  I'll bet it's cause you know your friend would have told you to go straight to hell.  Probably would have told your other friends what you said and before you know it you would not be included in the circle anymore.

I caught myself the other day before saying to a friend, "your daughter has finally grown into her head". I mean, it was a ten pound baby and she was CUTE but her head was ridiculously large. I had the comment typed in under the picture and then thought... hmmm... she might not take this as a kind comment... so I didn't post it.

Now Hopped The Fence wasn't  done yet.  Making fun of a blogger wasn't enough, let's move on to personal friends.  Calling a friends child Frankenstein!  Wow..I'm so sad for you!

Thank God! One of my dearest friends has three children. Her oldest, a son, looks like Frankenstein. I shit you not. Every time I see him, I can't get the thought out of my head. Sweetest kid, polite, great student...just didn't get the good looks.

Now What Up White Dog didn't want everyone getting "One Up" on her so she had to add to this disgusting conversation.  A bizarro looking baby?  Who actually writes stuff like this and thinks it is OK?

Not all babies are cute. We had an acquaintance that had a bizarro looking baby. He started to get cute around 1 year old, but man for a whole there, he was a "now that's a baby!" for sure. So no, no wringing here. Just honesty. :) NSS All babies are sweet and all babies deserve for their parents to think they're beautiful.

This is the comment with Hopped The Fence giving all the haters the info to find the blogger.  I put an X over the info so no one can find this blogger from me.

It's about a XXXXX who has XXXX eyes. I think he might take after his father; I have a similar reaction when I see his pic posted.

I'm bringing this up for more than one reason.

First, it is WRONG to make fun of children and innocent babies.

Second, this is to show the hate these ladies at MWOP have.  No one is  speaking up and saying, hey guys this is wrong.  No one saying these are children..stop this now! 

Well I'm speaking up and it is wrong!

Hopped The Fence we are waiting for all the pictures of your children.

ALL children are beautiful!  Get the hate out of your eyes and you could see that.

Privacy and Blogging

I've decided to go ahead and post about this topic of Audrey.

I am supplying a link that prevents her from getting paid for the ads on her blog.  If you feel the need to read the entire story she has posted please at least do so with this link which makes you anon and also blocks her ads. 

***DISCLAIMER*** The link has been removed.  If you would like to read the entire story type in proxify and this will bring up a site that will allow you to type in the blog link and not allow her to make money and you will be anon.  Now I have removed the link so the valid reason for this post can be discussed without others deflecting away from the topic.  No link so now what do you have to say about the behavior of this mother?

It does concern me that so many feel the need to tell all their private moments on the web.  I see it all the time, not just on Mwop but at many other blogs.  I see it in the comments sometimes and yes many times these people link right back to their personal blogs.  With a little looking around you can figure out who they are IRL. 

What has happened to our society?  Is there nothing that is private anymore?  When did strangers on the internet become the norm for sharing your secrets and personal moments in life?  So many claim that a certain blogger is an attention whore, yet the same people are stepping over each other to see who can post the most tragic story?  Do these people not have friends (real friends) or family that they can confide in?  Do they spend all their time so plugged in to social networks that they really have no real friends?  I'm beginning to wonder if this may not be the case.

I believe (notice I said I) that Audrey should remove all this personal information about her minor child from the internet now.  This is not Audrey's story to share.  If this was being investigated by CPS or the court system the minor child's identity would be protected.  Why is this mother not protecting her daughter? 

I've come across Audrey more than once trying to get attention for her blog.  None of this surprises me about her.  Anyone who has come across Audrey on the web knows Audrey has no boundaries.  I'll not go in great detail about what I already know about her from her putting it all on the web, let's just say history tends to repeat itself.  Over and over, round and round and some things never change!

Now Audrey claims to be a child of a lawyer?   So why are you asking for the help of strangers on the internet?  Isn't your mother an attorney?  Call the grandmother of your child and have her give you direction.  

Now about Audrey and her own personal bankruptcy or is it 2?  I would think Anja would investigate since Audrey is now claiming to only make $15 from her blog ads.  I have ads on my personal blog and  when it first started out I made more than $15 the first month.  Since Mwop has allowed Audrey to market her blog on the website they claim is a "Watch Dog" website and not a bully or hater blog, they have a moral obligation to check this out.  I do recall their was plenty of interest in the bankruptcy of Alli Worthington?  Oh wait, Alli was associated with Mckmama so was this why there was interest in Alli and her bankruptcy?  Sure sounds like it!

I agree with the  comments about how  many have stood up and told Audrey they think she is wrong.  The problem I have is Anja has said nothing!!!!  Anja and her silence about this makes me think she has no problem with Audrey exploiting her daughter and the talk of Mwop being about exposing lies and protecting the children is all a big pile of S^%$T!!!!  At least own it, you don't like Mckmama and all the hate has nothing to do with right and wrong!

Dooce Wins Against The Bully GOMI

Good for Dooce for standing up to Get Off My Internets blog which is written by Alice Walker Wright.

I read the comments at GOMI and some are calling Dooce a bully?  Really, some think defending an untruth written about you is bullying?  Sorry but this is not a bully, she is a person with conviction who stands up for what she believes in. 

This is a perfect example of what I am always talking about in terms of the HATE getting in the way for many to think and speak in a logical way about things.  Just like MWOP is to Mckmama, GOMI is to Dooce.  They are blinded by HATE and jealousy and cannot see how wrong GOMI was to try and paint Dooce as a liar.  Who cares if Dooce takes a break from blogging?  I'm sure considering the drama in her personal life right now a break would be welcoming for her.  Even if she said she was taking a break and decided to go "SOMEPLACE" still doesn't make her a liar.  She took a break from blogging..she didn't say, I'm taking a break from doing anything and I am going to sit at home and do nothing.  It's because of the HATE they have for her they are always looking for a way to call her a liar or call her out on something.  Same with MWOP, always picking everything apart.  That is bullying!

Good job Dooce for stepping up and telling the bully GOMI that it is not OK to call people liars and write things that are untrue.  Alice Walker Wright has now removed the post from Get Off My Internets due to a request from Dooce and her attorney.  It's not OK to be a bully GOMI!

Bullying

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.^[2][3] The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target".
Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying can be defined in many different ways. The UK currently has no legal definition of bullying,^[4] while some U.S. states have laws against it.^[5]
Bullying ranges from simple one-on-one bullying to more complex bullying in which the bully may have one or more 'lieutenants' who may seem to be willing to assist the primary bully in his or her bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as peer abuse.^[6] Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of rankism.
Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. It is even a common push factor in migration. Bullying can exist between social groups, social classes, and even between countries (see jingoism). In fact, on an international scale, perceived or real imbalances of power between nations, in both economic systems and in treaty systems, are often cited as some of the primary causes of both World War I and World War II.^{[7][8] source wikipedia}
