Well...despite the fact that you exalted me for dragging you in, I'm getting in trouble for this conversation.
Obviously.
But hey, I tried, right? Its a shame, too. Cause I would have liked to have at least tried to get a decent conversation going.
It gets personal even faster than at euro!
I mean, HOW could I have gone in there anything BUT wistfully? There is nothing but fighting going on. All the time.
Yes, I saw your post at euro. You didn't do anything wrong. If you did you know I would tell you but you have been an absolute lady in all of it this time!
I'll get back to it, just kinda wiped. I cleaned all weekend long. There was so much dusting to be done and so much wood in the house to dust. I showered twice and I probably still smell like Enddust.

Hey, you tried. It's not your fault that the people there are looking for a fight.... I did some housework today, too ... some vacuuming and straightening up. I seem to have a knack for jumping right into "too much" right when I start feeling just a little better, and now all I want to do is vege. Keri is coming over to do another episode of "Odd Balls," though, so I need to keep myself upright for just a little longer....  |

Sorry, Itsy; I quoted you at Lymenet Europe ... I'm in rare form this morning. Haku was up all night finishing up a paper and I got no sleep, whatsoever. I decided just to "get up" now, considering the fact that the alarm clock is going to go off in just a couple of hours. Of course, Mini left the loveliest present for me over at LNE. That woman has some serious pent up anger....

If I were you I would lay back and chill for a while. Its becoming tit for tat and for real, what does that get anyone.
I said what I said. I have nothing to hide. One time in another thread, cause I took up for you, I got my every line picked apart too. I ignored it because the argument wasn't worth it. Besides, I don't know that it was worth arguing over. Its hard to tell when she's making fun to be hurtful or making fun to joke. I've been known to make a sarcastic comment now and then, all in fun, and offended when i didn't intend to. I TRY to not judge that too harshly. Which is exactly why I minimized it and told you to ignore it.
I HAVE told mini I have no gripe with her personally, and that I don't take her personally, or something to the effect. I meant it when I said so. And she told me that she wasn't trying to offend me in any way or take a pot shot at me and I said I wasn't upset with her on a personal basis. But I also told her that in my opinion I wish she would stop picking on you. I don't have much of an opinion about Haku because other than a few posts, I know nothing about your husband. I am sure he is a nice guy. But I did mention to her that with him not even being there, I don't think he should have anything to do with the conversation. Here's the thing. Quit giving it back. LE, the only thing YOU can do is disengage. You two rub eachother wrong, and that's that. Nothing more, nothing less. Be the bigger person here and step back. If she isn't going to stop, then maybe you should consider being the one to step back.
I may be a goofball at times, and sarcasm run rampant, I get cranky or cantankerous or grumpy like anyone. But there is ONE thing I always remember for myself, and I suggest you do it too. This is the internet. You cannot allow anyone on the internet to change how you feel about yourself or take it TOO seriously. There are people like you, me, or cobby who can all do well together and play nice. There are going to be persons, espcially in an environment where we are dealing with neuro problems and aggitation from pain and illness that you will never get along with. LE...when someone insults you, you don't play nice. You go right back at it. While I don't blame you for sticking up for yourself (and I don't), I think you could handle it better. Not by taking the path of least resistence...but by remaining calm, not letting it ruffle you, and moving on with dignity rather than allowing it to get so far under your skin.
Sometimes I might sound 'quippish'...same thing Cavey gets in trouble for...when I say something like 'I just ignore it...' and that could be taken as a slam instead of how its intended. Of course, anyone could pick apart anyone's intentions if they try hard enough...in fact, that's what's been going on at sci.med all week with me. I made a joke to you here, I was quoted, and all hell broke lose. But its the internet. I'll TALK about it, but I'm not going to get upset about it. Don't we have enough on all our plates (when I say OUR, I mean us here AND the folks at Lyme Euro) that this isn't really worth it??
((I missy Cobby. She needs to quit her job...lol. When she's here I have someone to goof with and stay out of trouble! Ha ha))
Martian is now getting involved, and you know what? Its getting so ugly that I don't blame him. I know your comments to me were not about Sarah. In fact, if they were, I would have totally got on you for that...and you know that.
Its time, LE, to say "F**k it" and let it go. Seriously. You are not looking better by fighting back. You obviously both think you are right and no one is going to win. And it shouldn't be about winning anyway. Let's win against feeling crappy all the time from whatever it is that ails us. Take a break from it. You are only hurting yourself because your feelings are getting hurt and its not accomplishing much else.
What do you think?

Well, I think you are correct in that I need to stop responding to the woman. Luckily, I hold enough distance between my virtual life and my physical life not to be hurt so easily by an online crack, especially when the comments don't hold a candle to the crap I've experienced most of the rest of my life. Mini wouldn't last five minutes in the same room as my youngest sister, a true sociopath ... I swear that girl could make a titan crumple like a paper bag. I'm not just blowing hot air when I talk about how thick my skin is. Endurance training. It's just annoying as all hell when I can't post a damned thing without some hysteric attacking me at every turn ... and I do have a lot tolerance for people who annoy me.
BTW, what specifically did I write at Lymenet Europe that was overtly offensive (other than the "inconsiderate pricks" shot)? Sorry, but she asked for that one....
