I have been taken to task in the comments section of some of my recent posts. Here are a few of the things that I have learned, so far, from authoring a blog:
- A large portion of the population have no concept of sarcasm, satire or hyperbole and will take any statement employing these literary devices as completely literal.
- Since I have a vagina, I am expected to act like a lady and ladies do NOT, under any circumstances, use words like “fuck”. That makes one “un-ladylike”. Being called “un-ladylike” is interchangeable with terms like “dyke”, “cunt”, “whore”, etc. (I need to remember to add those titles to my resume!)
- Making a wish of a violent end to someone or a direct death threat is a perfectly rational response to a blog post you dislike or disagree with.
- Despite the fact that this is MY blog, that I own and I pay for, I am expected to conform to the standards dictated by the polite police and the “Act Like a Lady or You’re Gunna Die” foundation members that found their way to my blog. Those guys are neat-o.
- I shouldn’t be blogging, since it take time away from me being in my kitchen and making sandwiches. From what I gathered from a lot of the responses, making sandwiches should be taking up the majority of my day. I’m not that big of a sandwich eater, nor are the kids—I mean, we like to eat *A* sandwich here and there but it seems like making sandwiches all day, every day would just be wasteful, really.
- Children should NEVER be picked up from school, for any reason. Not making children walk home in inclement weather is the end of civilization and the very reason that the entire world hate us. It has nothing to do with our foreign policy. Now I want to know which presidential candidate is going to address this glaring issue?
- If people don’t like a blog, you would think that the logical answer would be that said people just close the tab in their browser window and move on with their lives. Well, you would be mistaken. Evidently, the expected solution is that the blog be shut down by the author or the interwebz police. If you can’t make everyone happy, the shit must be stopped!
Moral of the story: There are some crazy mother fuckers in the world.
Indeed there are and I don’t know about you, but I am proud to be one of them! 🙂 Fuck em and feed em fish heads, because they sure aren’t worth walking backwards over – that’s what I always say anyway!

The real tragedy of the You Didn’t Thank Me blog response, is that the sheer volume of unnecessary posts – flaming, scolding, unsolicited criticism of writing style – has drowned out and suffocated any possibility of a lively debate or discussion. I made several thoughtful posts there, and I have seen several thoughtful posts, and responded to many, but rarely have I received a response – or if I did, I didn’t see it.
Stubborn and dedicated as I am, I have read or at least skimmed every single post thus far – what are there, like 1000? – looking for the the few scattered gems in the mountain of bullshit, but mostly what I got for my trouble was waking this morning with a blazing headache.

Huh, I wonder if there’s a way for you to report the crazies for harassment and threats? Personally, I’d love to watch their self-righteous, bigoted little heads spin when someone tells them that’s not acceptable behavior and you’re free to write whatever in the hell you’d like on YOUR blog.
Here’s what I want to know. What exactly do people expect now-a-days for their definition of “ladylike” behavior? Shall we still to the Elizabethan period and walk around suffering in silence, with our tiny little fans, curtsying and offering our hands to be kissed?
Dictionary.com defines it as:
1.a woman who is refined, polite, and well-spoken:
2.a woman of high social position or economic class:
3.any woman; female (sometimes used in combination):
4.(Used in direct address: often offensive in the singular): Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Lady, out of my way, please.
5.wife: The ambassador and his lady arrived late.
So technically, you follow at LEAST 3 out of 5 definitions which would actually make you VERY ladylike. Also, how does your language turn you into a lesbian or mean that you offer yourself for money?? I think people have completely forgotten the ACTUAL meaning of words they use, yet they think you’re the ignorant one incapable of stating what you have to say without the use of descriptive wording? At least you use them in the correct content. Igits.

The thing about sandwiches reminds me of an anecdote I hope you’ll like 🙂
When I was a student, I was working summers at a steel mill. One day, I notice one of my co-workers – a loving father of four – has had tomato sandwiches all week. When I asked him why, he laughed and told me this.
Every year, Mommy-at-home goes away on vacation with her sister for 2 weeks. Since Dad is a tad tired that the kids take everything mom did for granted, and especially excelled in the art of whining about the food she cooked, he had an idea. He bought tomatoes by the crate and ultra-white super-sandwich bread (his favourite). When the kids asked what was for lunch/dinner, the answer inevitably came day after day, for 2 weeks: tomato sandwiches. He personaly didn’t mind, cause he liked it a lot. But the kids!!! NOW, they were whining for something! He told them, you mom is the cook in the house. I don’t know how and I don’t have time and I don’t care. You can have all the tomato sandwiches you want. No limit.
Of course, mommy and dad were in on it together 😉
This had 2 very happy side effects: feeding the kids for real cheap AND, when mommy came back, he said, you wouldn’t believe how much she was showered with gratitude and relief! “We’re so GLAD you’re home!!! Dad fed us tomato sandwiches ALL 2 WEEKS!!!!” and “OMG your food is SO good!!!” and thank yous and kisses and we love yous.
For a couple weeks. 🙂

What I see (a friend directed me to you a few days ago) is that you aren’t killing anyone, harming anyone or forcing anyone to join your cult or adhere to its teachings. Your posts inspire me and make me smile when you talk snarky to me. You’re ok in my book.
The apparent moron-commenter infestation you have, however, seems to think that killing people and forcing them to join their cults is cool. It makes me want to send them pretty pictures of things that will induce trauma when thinking of the things they once loved (like creepy old men with strange skin diseases making sandwiches in the nude).
Of course, they could always just stop reading. I don’t think anyone has a gun to their heads so they’re either phenomenally stupid or they are actually enjoying reading (for whatever reason). It’s not like you’re doing something they must be concerned about and watch closely out of actual concern – like juggling your children naked in a rock garden for the entire world to see. They just want to lash out at someone in some misguided attempt to assert their existence so they’ll feel better about their own wasted lives and lack of brain activity.
