As long as you're not naming names and locations who really cares. I had the same issue arise when I talked about a family member about a year ago, the only people who knew who I was talking about was my family (in-laws) so I found no harm, and still don't, in what I did. <br /><br />I think that we, there seems to be many of us, who need to start a "keepin' real" blog. A place where we are who we are but there are no names and faces attached. It would open up so many new possibilities for posts dontcha think? I'm not saying this would grant us permission to be hurtful or mean and bash people but it would give us the forum to say "hey, my neighbors a real bitch" without being fearful that she will read it!<br /><br />Food for thought...<br /><br />Hang in there friend!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733703366959400497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-37057528785917205092010-11-14T17:34:58.966-07:002010-11-14T17:34:58.966-07:00I am sorry you are going through this Connie.

I try to limit myself to things that are about me when it comes to something painful, but I do not by any means censor myself or be fake because someone might think that a different me is a better me. I'm fine the way I am and anyone that doesn't like it can just F* off.<br /><br />I hate that someone is making you feel this way.

But I will also love the censored you too! I also have to not write about certain topic's because I don't want others to be upset, and then their are others in my life that read my blog that I don't want to know my business so I choose not to write about it, but it is a shame because then others miss out. But it is what it is. I hope you know how great I think you are and I hope it all gets better soon. xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667775924916317680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-21402191846700688762010-11-12T09:29:20.733-07:002010-11-12T09:29:20.733-07:00I don't like this news, but you must do what i...I don't like this news, but you must do what is best for yourself and your family.

I have to do that too. There are so many posts I'd love to write but never will because I know they will hurt feelings (often in ways that I find ridiculous - but what can you do?)<br /><br />You can also protect some posts and forward the password to a specific list. <br /><br />I don't know - I just think that there is so much on here that doesn't hurt anyone, but makes people laugh and inspires them to find joy in the little things. That's what I take away from your writing.<br /><br />Much love to you.Kate Coveny Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006589284938683965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-10209013646250943402010-11-12T08:27:59.680-07:002010-11-12T08:27:59.680-07:00Nooooo...Connie, your blog is one of my favorites....Nooooo...Connie, your blog is one of my favorites. It is evident that you are being yourself in the blog and it makes it a great read. You are also very funny! Your "boyfriend" at McD's vlogs are really hilarious. Anyway...I don't think you have ever revealed any personal family issues - other than the fact that you may be having a disagreement. Who doesn't with their family? If someone has a problem with it, they should just stop reading YOUR blog. It is yours - no one else really should have a say about it. I even came out of lurking mode to say - don't change - you are awesome!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085222585223103639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-55245725604128466412010-11-12T07:45:55.614-07:002010-11-12T07:45:55.614-07:00I'm sad...and flattered ~Amber xoI'm sad...and flattered ~Amber xoAmber Dupreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047766026155600688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-51663930050544859902010-11-12T07:45:01.910-07:002010-11-12T07:45:01.910-07:00I have to censor myself too because so many people...I have to censor myself too because so many people read my blog. I'm still honest but leave out the stuff that might hurt someone. So, I choose to write about the more positive things. I'm similar to that in real life too but there are times that I would like to unleash the other side of me. The side that tells it like it is. I wish my blog could be more therapeutic and I could write about the stuff I wish I could say. I toy with the idea of starting an anonymous blog without telling anyone! I can understand where this person is coming from but this blog is yours and you should write what you want. As long as you don't discuss this person, I see no problem being personal. <br /><br />By the way, I think the real you is more than good enough!Kaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820883410111345623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-49181449980261505382010-11-12T07:27:47.636-07:002010-11-12T07:27:47.636-07:00Really?

I am censored on my blog too, because so many members of my family read it, and other people in my 'real life' that there are certain topics that will always remain 'off-topic' on my blog, which sucks... but I still write about me, and with full honestly. I hope you continue to blog about you, too. xoLoukiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066879990007701379noreply@blogger.com
