I so desperately need a creative outlet and that is what blogging provides. The fact that people seem to want to read it is just a bonus. <BR/><BR/>The other COMPLETELY unexpected bonus. The community of fellow bloggers I have made who lift me up when I am down, laugh with me (at me) and just frankly "get me."<BR/><BR/>To your friend: You can kiss my little narcissistic booty!!thediaperdiarieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07031990766224099099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-50899946202785535272008-08-03T08:41:00.000-05:002008-08-03T08:41:00.000-05:00I'd say you made your point!MoziEsméhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16078786257885681829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-36103564132138913452008-08-03T06:32:00.000-05:002008-08-03T06:32:00.000-05:00Well said!

What about Sandra Day O'Conner's friends? I'm sure Mother Theresa, Gandi, Martin Luther King, Lindbergh, Scott Adams, all received remarks about doing something that challenged them. Who cares. Imagine where we would be had any of them given in to conventional wisdom. If Mr. Dummy were in charge we would still be sitting in caves around the camp fire.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you have heard the same thing about running long distances?<BR/><BR/>Stick and stones.....<BR/><BR/>You are the Warden!Busy Dad Mumbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08562330441320763801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-86359735157601958232008-08-02T13:23:00.000-05:002008-08-02T13:23:00.000-05:00well, I have TWO blogs, so what does that make me?<BR/><BR/>Hey there, NW!

Great post. I know so few real life bloggers, and my "real" friends just don't get it. I love the sense of community, that there are others out there also going through life with a brain, even if they don't have a salary to show for it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks :)JanMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06833388514253606318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-32135181572693400162008-08-02T11:22:00.000-05:002008-08-02T11:22:00.000-05:00I just started blogging and was so excited about it I started telling everyone. I definitely get cut on for it, especially by my co-workers. So I feel more reserved now about who I tell. But there have also been other people who have just been so supportive and make an effort to come to my blog on a regular basis and comment.<BR/>You can't please everyone and those that have something derogatory like that to say aren't worth the time! Plus you have the blogging community behind you which is pretty darn cool!Shannon (muzbeecrazy.com)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11033107736520660912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-84103753437876950942008-08-01T18:01:00.000-05:002008-08-01T18:01:00.000-05:00WOW! hard when someone says something so awful to you....when they just don't even try to get it. ugh....<BR/>blogging has very much been a blessing in my life. <BR/>I get the looks, and the shakes of the head in my group of friends and family, but I just ignore it.Corey~living and lovinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05719661119360487023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-36861133009517515902008-08-01T14:43:00.000-05:002008-08-01T14:43:00.000-05:00Um I would have to say this person would not be very high on my friends list in the future,I have a girl friend that has 2 kids under the age of 2 and we are both very busy she reads my blog all the time to keep up with my life, she loves it because when she is up at 2am feeding the little one she gets to pop in on my life. I guess I am a huge Narcissist since I not only have a blog but also a myspace page and a facebook page all of which have different readers yet some are the same.Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14095593176398409401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-7644609549691380962008-08-01T11:28:00.000-05:002008-08-01T11:28:00.000-05:00I never understood blogging until recently.

I started it shortly after giving birth to my third and final wee one as a way to stay sane as well as communicate that part of me with the world. And, the best part is that I'm making some awesome friends along the way.<BR/><BR/>BTW, you need to kick that "friend" to the curb with your most fabulous pair of running shoes!crunchiemummyhttp://crunchiemummy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-28596958935504102642008-07-31T22:38:00.000-05:002008-07-31T22:38:00.000-05:00Hugs!

(reasons for blogging). Seriously it is so nice to find people talking about stuff that's important to you or funny or just plain blowing steam, and they totally get it and are right in the thick of things too. It's really helps make a bad day a little better when you get a bunch of cheery comments and you feel like "Ok I'm not alone here."<BR/><BR/>What kind of friend does that btw? If he's so blunt then tell him to keep his piehole shut if he doesn't like it.

It&#39;s not like you are the only one blogging, it is a creative process. Much like writinga book or writing a magazine article. What about radio dj&#39;s that spend the entire morning show talking about themselves. Are they that way too?

They think b/c if you are working mom or SAHM your life is boring b/c your a MOM. You know this is not a friend it someone who might be a tad envy of your success. I gave you my blog blast for peace award b/c you are inspiring moms everywhere to get out and run. Really here in Mississippi it nice to see a women so happy with running 12miles on Saturday in the rain up-hill to join a marathon. This friend should be a shamed of making you feel this way about yourself, but don't let it get to ya, b/c look at all the moms who are supporting you , and think you are awesome....Confessions of A Mississippi Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17848088462204658059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-40124117562818313892008-07-31T09:55:00.000-05:002008-07-31T09:55:00.000-05:00I don't get why people have to rag on others' hobbies. I hate golf. I don't get it, don't enjoy it, ick. And yet? I know that some people adore it and that is OK with me. I have no gripes with golfers. I will not go to the golf course and mock them and their outfits and desires to get just the right shots.<BR/><BR/>So why would a "friend" say somethign about your blog?Traceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-11111938141121540152008-07-31T09:20:00.000-05:002008-07-31T09:20:00.000-05:00I'm glad you got that off your chest...and it's nice to know that I'm not alone. I have 3 little, little girls and a husband that travels alot. I can literally go days at a time without talking to anyone older than 4. How isolating is that! It's nice to have a place to chronical my life and a place to meet other people. I am sorry sometimes that my family reads my blog, otherwise it would be a great place for me to let off some steam too. I'm not brave enough for that....yet.leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00016902294200659689noreply@blogger.com
