Ahhhh...a (guilty) mind is a terrible thing to taste? So I guess my very first "rant" the other day made a few waves. I just got an e-mail from the author (of the e-mail in question a few months ago), who has apparently now visited my blog. Mind you, I gave no names in that rant. I gave no specific dates (or due dates for that matter). I linked no websites. If you knew the story (from either her point of view or mine)..you did...and if you didn't, well you saw what you read and no less/no more. Let's go over the quote from her original e-mail as sent. No sentences removed -- no sentences rearranged -- this is a direct quote exactly as typed:
"I am pregnant, yes thank you again for your concern. God blesses those who are ready and deserving. I'm sure your time will be soon."
You can make your own judgement call as to whether or not that might be upsetting and hurtful if you were facing over two years of infertility treatments, and she knew as such. Those of you that care...do... Those of you who don't will merely skip to the next entry I make which I promise will contain a joke to lighten the atmosphere around here. But the NERVE to e-mail me asking me to update and rewrite my blog because (and I quote), "The 'Rant' comes across like I purposely emailed you to tell you about that only and to hurt your feelings." Well cry me a river. And get your own blog if you think you need a platform or a public place to vent about ME -- because MY blog is for MY feelings and MY opinions. That's why it's called a web-journal. I don't need anyone's permission to write what I feel as long as I'm not slandering their name. Period.
*your IP is matched when you comment -- and I reserve the right to edit/delete any comments I do not feel are "appropriate" for my blog and/or would not want said in the presence of guests in my own home
