Is talking about our dead members of this blog land a deface in their memory?

I resurrected some of the blogs that I read below our current ones. I came across two of respectable members of this blog land, whom made me wonder what happened to them. I paid a good tribute of my opinion and thank Ms. Witch for informing what happened to them. Now guess what, a very judgmental member on here came to my face and tell me that I defaced their memories.

Question: when we resurrect these blogs coming up to us, what for? Isn't to read and be aware of their existence?

Now I don't need to apologize for a custom and or values and tradition of us, Catholic on talking and praying for our dead. That is an honor and that is to me a very respectable gesture. I talk to my mother, father, brother, and those that passed on whenever I pass on to my altar for them. I still write about them and my children and grand children who has not seen them, know them through our thoughtfulness of remembering.

Thanks all.

Lindsey, beautiful lady,

I did not know what had happened to them either, until that update.

I agree with you that holding someone in remembrance is an honor, not a defacement.

Maybe its because I am not sure what is meant by that?

The only thing that bothers me is that their profiles look that they are current members (though it does show the last logged on date, which could mean lots of things.)

Pedal, thank you. It would be nice if she comes in and apologize. I did not mean at all to deface them. I was so thankful and wrote good stuff about them and got accused of defacing them.

Thanks again Pedal,

CC my dear beautiful lady. I am so honored for you to come and make me feel forgiven, too with all the squabbles we had on some issues.

I know though, that you have forgiven me because I remember you wrote one time that you don't hold grudges just like me. I never hold grudges against anyone who argued with me and or have misunderstanding. I accept that I am not perfect and that I make a lot of mistakes, but I don't live and dwell with them. I do learn from them and try my best not to do them again.

I remember you also share your good memories of your late husband and how much you loved each other and let me make that present tense, how much you still love him. I just know based on your stories how great he was and I am sure he is alive in your mind and heart just as my loved ones, mother, father, great grand mothers and fathers and all of them. We catholics even have a special day just dedicated for them to honor them. For me, I think of them and talk about them specially to my children so they know how I was raised and how we were so loved and that is how they are now with their children.

Thank you Ms. CC. You just made me taste a paradise of heaven for this write.

I love you dear lady.

Thank you again Pedal. Thank you so much for your reassurance that I can keep resurrecting any blog I so desire whether they are still here with us or passed on and I hope that it will be an honor for them.

"what a shame you continue to deface a dead persons blog Lindsyblues pass your messages privately not on blog. You would not write on a headstone would you OR WOULD YOU "

This is the infamous remark of Red, who is a senior member of this blog land about my talking of the respectable members that passed on that I wasn't aware of.

Following is my response.

Thank you all for making me share how hurt I am for being misunderstood.

Thanks Johnny, I am pleased to see you and sharing my your very real observation. Those that hold grudges against me Johnny, I hope they would understand me and don't cultivate any ill will against me.

Thank you.

Elle, as a matter of fact I didn't know he passed on. Only when I read his blog as though he must just have stopped blogging for whatever reason other than passing away.

Another one was Virgo who was always commenting on my writes and talking about his boat and his Jeep. All of sudden he disappeared but on the same blog when I read his comment, he mentioned he might not even be able to pay it off because that following morning of his last comment on the same blog of Daytona's he mentioned he was going to the hospital. I didn't know about that.

Now when I was sentenced to die in 2012 right after the reappearance of my old cancer, I knew I was going to be gone soon. I wrote so many poems about my situation as I wasn't in the blog land yet, and it was very good discussion among all my old friends from the corner, and I remember Red even joined in one of them. The comments are still in the old poems but I deleted most of them, my mistake.

So now I learned that perhaps Virgo is still with us, but on different site according to Ms. Witch, that is nice to know.

Simmo was one member that I miss so much and the whole blog land who was active that year that he passed on, we all miss him. I know that because one member even wrote a blog for the year of his passing on in here. I will resurrect when that comes out, if I read it.

This to me is a gesture of respect and loving memory of them.

Thanks Ms. Elle.

I agree with you dear CC. It is not absolute that they are always in our minds, but like I said, when I am going to be remembered when I am gone. I will be honored even if only once.

I understand Ms. Witch. For what its worth, I am truly thankful that I was forced by my best friend of 34 years to become a member of this site because I deeply feel the joys of interacting to everyone around the world. Imagine those that we are in connections with. International, and what a great experience that is.

My past time used to read a lot. Mostly magazines such as Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Wall Street, New York Times, etc. etc,. Very costly and after reading, no means and or ways to interact just for the sake of making clarifications on some that I don't agree with. This site gave me this as a means of sharing my stale mind and not too brilliant opinions and I am very thankful of all you.

I may not always leave comments to all the varieties because I still work and very busy with my family and friends, but believe me Ms. Witch, there are bloggers and issues here that I can't get past just glancing at them. I have to participate and most rewarding is my experience.

Of course, there are so many that I feel don't like me, disagrees with me, and that is alright. We can't be all like let alone be agreed upon but that is the beauty of this place because we can be very civil as we can in making our opinions heard and or argued about.

Thank you again Ms. Witch.

Giving you much the same accolade as I have earned from you Ms. Witch. My respects is most open to all specially to selective few. You are one of them. Special I mean. When I retire, I will probably spend most of my time on here, not because I don't have better things to do, but the value of what I learn in life is far more effective and gives me deep understanding of those that I have often took for granted.

I do openly display my most affection and respect to your straightforward attitude and strength in making yourself understood. You are most appreciated on here, too and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Ms. Witch for all these positive responses I have gotten from many of you and the private mails I receive in response to my sorrow.

I stand corrected on my mistakes. I own them outright. I don't pass blame on my shortcomings as that is just the way life is. But to judge me, plain and direct without at least soliciting the reasons why I do things as they are is just plain narrow and immature. She could have private mail me and that is what hurt the most. She came in to my blog and addressed the issue which has no relation to my post.

I have never been involved in slighting personal things to posters that I can remember, I do however express very strongly and vehemently at times my disagreement on issues and topics. This I know, is the only way for us to create an avenue of understanding. It is not my intention to just oppose anyone's idea for the sake of opposing, I state my reasons. I hope that my contributions on some discussion do encourage others to give me credit of trying to understand. There are so many thinks even at my age, that I simply can't see it the way it should be, and that is the beauty of life, because we do learn, endless is our ability to learn. In the end, it is truly a fact, the more we think we know, the less we do come to an understanding of things, why? That is the mystery of life. I am student forever for only one purpose and that is to improve myself so I can change for the better.

Thanks again Ms. Witch.

Lindsay I believe that it is the shed blood on the cross that Jesus did for us sinners that absolved us from sin.
Of course His free gift to us is only good if we accept His sacrifice.............

Lol Ms. Witch, how on earth can you just come up with such a fitting tribute to the need of the moment? Love it Ms. Witch. Love it so much, I wish I can just book my flight right now and be with you if you do feel like drinking a cup of coffee. Of course, I won't probably deserve to be in your company but just the same, I would still ask to have a cup of coffee, Irish mind you, or for that matter a shot of tequila or White Russian. No I don't drink Ms. Witch, just when it merits the occasion for me to lose myself in the moment.

This is one of them. "YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME SO YOU CAN POINT YOUR FINGER THAT I AM THE BAD GUY."

What an interesting if not very flattering moment you gave me Ms. Witch.

I feel so much better...

Itchy, watching the video, I kept getting distracted by the man with the white shoes.



I do enjoy movies that have messages like that...and blogs like this one that have a real sharing of feelings, of selves.

Calm, what a soothing experience that is, isn't it? Pity and concise words or act, yet they go far away to the subliminal etch of our minds. I love it. I almost forgot about this movie. Love Al Pacino, one of the most revered thespian in the world.

Thanks Calm for your indulgence.

Meant to say "pithy" as in succinct and clear. Lesson that sticks with you forever.

Calm, yes, the man with the white shoes...But I was looking at the people in the restaurant and they just seemed so at awe themselves with the slice of life expressed herein. You need me. I am needed, what a powerful function if only to be blamed on everything wrong going around...

Thanks much Ms. Witch, my invitation, maybe not now but who knows at least before we get erased on this planet?

Itchy , no, I don't have a thing for men with white shoes.

It's just that they distracted me in the video as it looked like he was wearing a burgundy suit and he was close to the focal point of the main character. Maybe it was my monitor.

I guess I just don't know men's fashion.

I was looking at the people standing around and at the tables too, Lindsey. The white shoes were just an accent. Looking back, I think the man's suit is brown, not burgundy.

Have not seen the movie, but Mr. Pacino's comments surprised me with a laugh...although drunk and belligerent, his address to them was sadly a little bit true.

It is a very intense show of life and all the ingredients of everything wrong Calm. I can't remember everything anymore as it was like 36 years ago but I can assure you it will make you glued until the very end.

Thanks Incubus for your participation. My first time to see you and welcome.

Tent, check this out. Almost everything that we talk about when it comes to life lesson's are written by persons who are already gone. Now we don't only talk about their writes and imprints of time. We talk about their lives, who were they and what they did.

I don't find anything wrong for me to know what happened to him and now that I know I can still talk about him as the rest of the rest of those that are gone passed on or simply moved out of this site.

Daytona have always been a very gentle member of this site just our beloved Simmo. I will bring them whenever I want and I will talk about their writes if I want to.

I will resurrect their writes if I have to. Me? You guys don't dishonor me, if you will talk about me and or my writes even when I am gone.

My only request is that say a little prayer for me. Even now that I am alive.

Thanks Tent.

Yes, it is an international community and we are connected with all the topics that we choose to participate on.

Enjoy, and I thank you for your contribution.

Well noted Proficiency. Thank you.

Exactly, she did not respect my motivation of an honorable mention and questions I had regarding what happened to a member here. It was not my intention to disrespect anyone but for her to come and scold me like she is my mother and have done something wrong is not done in good taste.

She should have private mail me and I would have explained as I have on here.

This is not to further what is already presented. Plain and simple.
