Go on over and give him some love.

Okay, back to the subject…

She sat before her computer. With no clear idea of the time of day, she looked down at her coffee, jelly and goodness knows what stained pajama bottoms, she sighed. A shower was in order, but she was determined to find a book. THE book from her childhood.

Certainly, she had other projects waiting for her…lying fallow because of her mania. Why was she avoiding the completion of her projects? Because she had a dream about this book. It isn’t a book that is so obscure that she must scour the very ends of the information superhighway…it’s Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking -glass and What Alice Found There”. Simple enough, but she wanted a particular binding and was encountering trouble locating it.

Could she remember the publisher? Nope. The year of publication? Ah…a vague idea.

What was so important about this book? What was the urgency? It seems that our heroine felt a need to connect with her childhood. She wanted to remember a time when she was safe and happy and well adjusted. Did she feel maladjusted now? No…she just wanted a piece of her childhood, since much of it had been lost in all of the moves she’s made in her life.

She’s on her quest even now…pray for her. This could perk up her spirits. It could also drive her slowly, deeper into her insanity.

Or she could give up and go get a milkshake. Life’s uncertain. Have dessert first.

She done it again…that brat!

Supporting your pals…supporting blogs

Hi guys:

You’re all probably very familiar with my good pal Angie and her life as a blogger, right?
Well, some wacky crap went down last week and I have to tell ya, I’m plenty upset about it.

If you look over at my blogroll, you’ll see that PLUS 1 is no longer there.
Why, oh wise Pfunk, why? Well, because the person hosting that particular blog decided that she didn’t agree with a post Angie made regarding treating her OWN child with Benadryl. You probably know that there is a pediatric grade Benadryl and that there are no long term side effects associated with this product. You’re also probably aware that it isn’t tantamount to ‘drugging’ your child especially if the pediatrician previously treated the child for allergies. My question is this: What would cause a reasonable person to prohibit ACCESS to a person’s blog rather than request that the post be altered or deleted due to objectionable (?!) content?

Angie is a paid blogger, a single mom (recently divorced) and at the time, had just lost her grandmother. Talk about kicking someone when they’re down!
It’s unthinkable that communication is so poor that the owner of the host had no way of articulating her displeasure regarding the post other than to deny the writer access to her own words. She’s losing money every day.

Every. Day.

I’m not charmed. If Ange had written something disgusting or perverse I could understand the swift retribution, but this is just plain mean spirited and narrow-minded. I abhor censorship, but I understand that when you are not hosting your own blog you are at the mercy of the host. I get it. Still, it rankles and I’m pissed off.

You don’t take the food out of a child’s mouth because you disagree –for whatever idiotic reasons, with the writer of a blog you’re hosting.

Like I always say, ” The karmic wheel turns in all ways–In all ways” so I don’t expect that this person’s life is going to take a turn for the best. You are rewarded for your behavior. Good or bad, wrong or right, you will receive your just rewards. Maybe it won’t be immediate, but it will happen.

Have you ever had to defend a friend when they’ve been unjustly slighted, accused, abused?
I hope you’ve stood your ground and fought with them. I hope you walk on a path that leads you always to the truth and to the light of integrity.

For now, take a look at my blogroll and give Angie some  love.

I’ve given you links to both new blogs in this post, but remember to bookmark them and keep on truckin’.

She’s been ‘banned’ for two weeks. When she gets her blogs back up, let’s see what happens.

Pfunk’s  foolosophy is live and let live–until you eff with folks who just don’t deserve it.

Sure G-d will take care of, but what with Darfur, our ‘War on Terror’ and the Britney/Paris/Lindsay/Nicole/insert any other talentless youngster…I think He’s got a full plate.

Oh, that was a good ‘un.

Peace.
