A Blog To Please Everybody
I have been thinking very hard to find a topic - and a view on it - to please everybody but to no avail. It will be such a welcome change to produce such a blog.
I don’t mind when people differ from me in opinion, it happens all the time but somehow there is a select little crowd who always differ from me. They do not always comment on my blog but when but when they do, it is negative. It is as if they just sit and wait for me to say the wrong thing so they can find something to disagree with.
Then I thought of doing a blog about the wrongness of chaining a dog to a stake. I mean who could possibly disagree with that? But I know that my blog will not be there long before another blog will go up to demonstrate why a dog should be on a chain.
You will always get those who decorate your blog with their bad manners. Don’t let it put you off. They don’t know of any better.
If you cannot please everybody then at least try to please yourself. A blog to please everybody does not even exist in fairyland and in blogland they are harder to find.
Enjoy this Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday.

Opinions/Blogs are like belly buttons...
Hey ya! Have a lovely day/night!
Not everyone here is a healthy, well rounded adult and I somehow doubt some people would get a round of applause in RL if they behave like they behave on here.
It is good to have some sort of emotional support network and I met some very nice people on here, but as in RL, not everyone is.
Mr. Cat, today I want to decorate your blog. Hope you are happy with my effort.
Yes, we have to respect other opinions; even if they are ill expressed.
Yep, and I see I made it into the Google+ Top-10 again.
Sometimes a blog may .. bring out a thought in me that may differ from the blog.. but I hope I never say it negatively or unkindly. I just add my feeling with respect for all that has preceded my comment.
I loved how you did this blog today.. `A blog to please everybody` Oh MY... that is NEVER going to happen is it?
but glad for your blogs and all the comments you get on them..makes for fun reading
Have a FAB day with your cat and family and I am sure your cat is part of your family... before you tell me that
The problem is that in real life we can invite people to our parties but here we have to accept gate crashers.
Well at least he is pleasing himself, as he pleases no one else.
It is so much nicer than the decorator I contracted last night.
It was supposed to say....some are innies and some are outties
I've also realized sometimes I get that way unfortunately!
And then there are those who really believe they are never wrong....
You are so welcome to differ from me. It would have been a very dull world if we all agreed. My problem is with the way some people express their disagreements. Why can't we just state our disagreements and perhaps a brief explanation and be off. Why come back if you disagree or don't like the blog.
Yesterdays blog was a bit out of the ordinary but generally I don't like to think of my blog as controversial. I used to like telling about myself, my family and my environment but then I was accused of being a narcissist and a liar. So I cut down on it, but I'm still being called that.
I can verbally "gatecrash" a blog, but after that, I usually make my departure.
Blessed are the weak in mind.
Maybe they don't have so much desire to be righ. Perhaps they just want others to be wrong. That is the way it seems to me.
A good blog sometimes creates disagreements...but to be respectful to others is good manners...
I jumped back from my laptop when i saw your title...
hope all is well with you.
I don't mind disagreement; it is the way in which they are expressed that annoys me some times.
I will try not to be annoying...haha
Yes, thank you. I hope that you are in the same condition. Have a great day. Are you peddling anything today? A have a few bitcoins on hand - if you would accept that as legal currency.
You only annoy me when you give Simmo the eye. Otherwise I find you delightful!
come on mate, what are you trying to do to me.
The best thing about getting the eye of loulou is that it is real, not like the last person to give me the eye.
Hi Loulou. Ignore dear OLD cat.
he means no harm.
Yep, another day and another dollar... but then maybe not.
This OLD cat is still enjoying his first life.
As you are writing good blogs there will always be people envying you. This is the other side of the coin. Some envy this in a good way, and some in a bad way. It's like in in real life!
Btw, how is you cat doing?
Thank you for the compliment.
I'm not really a picture man and seldom use pics in my blog. I prefer to write the thousand words.
Where is Butterflies?
But disagreement is not negative and even agreeing can be negative. It is they way you express yourself. It seems that some cannot express themselves elegantly. And the funny part is that many of these rude commenters do not blog and those who do, blog in the same style of their comments.
Not always. The secret lies in the timing of the blog. What is a good blog today may be a bad one tomorrow. Even the time of the day is important. Your blog must be freshly presented to your target audience.
Thank you for dropping in. You must be one of my most loyal friends.
Monsieur is sitting on my lap just making it awkward for me to type.
Tomorrow I'm going to take a chance to leave him here. I want to go to the flea market in Parow and I will be too long to leave him in the car. I'm going to leave my bedroom window open and close the bathroom window where he is used to getting out. Hopefully he will discover the open window only after I'm gone.
Give him a kiss from me!
Do I step on your toes?
You must tell me when I do. I won't bite your head off if you do it nicely. I try to accommodate my readers most of the time but I can only do so when I know where I go wrong.
I cannot promise to please everybody all the time but I can at least try not to step on the same toes all of the time.
He's handling the complaints. Compliments, hugs and kisses is MY department.
