RE: You're Fighting for your life and neighbors are simply watching and listening...

Crazy, what a terrible experience for you. Not only the attack but the inertia of your neighbours. That's shocking. I hope you continue to have good support from family and friends.

RE: Never A Dull Moment In The Blogs.

Well, Cat, you have been given special mention in Dear Diary.

RE: Never A Dull Moment In The Blogs.

The greatest event shall probably occur within the week: the return of the Much Maligned from self-imposed exile.

RE: "WENEVER"...("WENNY")

That's very sad news. Whenever was a very gentle soul.

RE: In case you were wondering

Now that's interesting! Am very glad you posted it as I thought you were a very distant relative of Mr. Hoover.

RE: The Prodigal Son

Thanks, Cat. I didn't take anything personally - just voicing my final thoughts.

RE: The Prodigal Son

Hello Cat, when the mud slinging started, Molly was on her own. On the other side, several gleefully adopted the slur against Molly and continued to perpetuate it. Even an American blogger couldn’t resist the temptation to add to their fun.

These are all diversionary tactics to try and move attention away from the main issue (Donald Trump does this all the time). If your position is indefensible, then you may want to bring up past injustices (real or imagined) and also call in your loyal troops as character witnesses. It wasn’t surprising.

Where Jenny is concerned, I suspect she believed she was honouring her friend’s wishes only to later realize that she’d been caught between two master manipulators. I don’t think Jenny is devious unlike the other two.

My opinion on the whole episode hasn’t changed. While there have been some revelations, there were no surprises.

RE: The Prodigal Son

Would someone please pass the tissues?

RE: The Prodigal Son

"I don't care. I do what I want" replied the narcissist when confronted with evidence of her/his "negative" behaviour.

RE: The Prodigal Son

Understanding the game plan is easy when you understand the players involved.

RE: The Prodigal Son

No, Molly, you aren't the only person who can see that.

RE: The Prodigal Son

Nothing will happen because these people excel at playing The Victim.

Another question begs to be answered: why go to such lengths to find out?

RE: The Prodigal Son

The twitter feed is very entertaining!

RE: The Prodigal Son

Like you, I've distanced myself with no regrets. The revelations were interesting indeed, but not really a surprise. There always will be behind-the-scenes activity which often comes out in blogs as innuendo. While I don't agree with the method, I understand that it takes a thief to catch a thief.

RE: The Prodigal Son

It doesn't matter if we disagree. I was voicing my thoughts. Indeed this episode was very revealing, but there were no real surprises. There are always double standards. No reason why it should be any different here!

RE: The Prodigal Son

No, the means does not justify the end. To infer that Nam died and to include his son to lend credence to the inference was wrong and mean spirited. As is the continued back slapping and gloating. I'm not a friend nor a fan of Nam's. Pettiness and vindictiveness are not traits I admire or respect. However, I don't carry I'll feelings towards him or anyone else here. Anyone who read that blog was shocked including me. Zman posted on that blog and his post conveyed his shock that his friend had died. I wonder what he thinks now? We know how unforgiving he is.

RE: The Prodigal Son

And, when caught out, trying to lay blame on everyone else. No thanks.

RE: Things that need doing

Perhaps it's toilet paper and not a ladder. It's a very tall cow.

RE: Been Smoking Recently?

Hi Cat, it isn't easy to quit smoking. The urge/need to smoke vs the urge/need to quit is a constant tug of war. You can do it!

RE: Finally, the world is waking up

RE: Finally, the world is waking up

I'm sorry, ooby. Name calling is ignorant. People who can't post without name calling shouldn't be posting.

RE: Flies and Spiders

should be "Subjects of THIS blog". Sorry that the implication was ALL subjects of your blogs.

RE: Flies and Spiders

You are indeed a gifted writer. While I can't say that I have a fondness for the subjects of your blog, I certainly enjoyed reading it!

I can also substantiate Molly's claim about the September Spiders. You could put a saddle on them! They're massive and they have the gall to try and stare people down.

RE: Things that annoy me #42,065...

Maxwell Smart!

RE: Pot Lucks

What about making tiramisu? It's light and most everyone loves it.

RE: Foul Language

As children, we would have been throttled if our parents heard us curse. Today, we've become somewhat desensitized to it because so many people can't speak a sentence without using the "f" word several times. They don't realize how simplistic, boring and unintelligent they sound.

Having said that, I grew up in a bilingual environment (French Canadian and English). The French curse words were always in reference to the Roman Catholic church: tabernac (tabernacle); hostee (pronounced us-tee; Communion host) - a few examples. My father used to say "Sacre patates" (holy potatoes). If I feel the need to curse today, I always curse in French. Far more effective and less traumatizing for those around me.

RE: Unusual

As many husband's never learn or understand, it's not always about what they want.

RE: My neighbour

must be something in the air in blogland today, Molly!

RE: Unusual

For a moment, I thought you were talking about me, Fay! in early May, we went hiking and just started out on the trail when we saw a mama grizzly with three cubs in the distance. We slowly backed away and then ran full on back to our vehicle. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

RE: Doing one's bit.

Actually, your blogs are better.
