Just Stop....Please


First and foremost...STOP, STOP, STOP!!!!!

Second.....this is not directed at anyone....but at everyone out in Cyber Land.....(like anyone really reads my blog)

STOP having hissy fits and throwing tantrums, like well seasoned three year olds, on the net.

STOP using your facebook/msn/twitter (and/or whatever other kind of social networking thingy you may have and use) to broad cast your disdain, disgust, disappointment, and disconnect about your friends/family's actions/reactions. (most of us are guilty of this....some way more than others....right now I know there is one one FB update that is aimed right smack dab at me...over a miscommunication....)
STOP thinking that the way things happen are a personal injustice against you and that it has been planned and plotted for weeks.

STOP and think! Pick up the phone and maybe talk about the "injustice" you may be feeling. It is so much healthier for both sides of the relationship. It doesn't have to be a fight or an argument. Friends and family are aloud to disagree but they are also suppose to be able to turn to one another and talk about what is bothering you.

This doesn't mean I don't like any of you who may be an offender or for that matter a repeat offender. This just means that I would hope you have more respect for me to call me and tell me you're pissed or that you have a beef or even to just clarify the incident in question. FYI...I took my own advice and called someone in regards to the mentioned miscommunication message.....

I am very guilty of some of the things mentioned in this blog....but I really try to keep my "updates" ambiguous, so as not to point the finger but poke fun...my favorite "Wendy is washing her hands" the next day it was "Wendy is looking for a towel to dry her clean hands on" I was referring to my own personal war with my in-laws and that I was very done with them....but you couldn't tell from what I had written.


So from now on.....STOP on by and we will chat....or call.

  1. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I applaud you! I've learned a long time ago that current 'comments' posted to things like FB always get misinterpreted - you might be mad at the dog, but if you're not lazer point specific, it'll be taken personally by someone who hasn't even crossed your mind in days. It's very easy to hide behind your computer monitor, very easy....
