I don't want to get in the middle here but oh well here I go!
Doc I read the "join my blacklist" reply by Whip as a threat. Not a feat accompli. I'm just wondering if you tried to reply and saw you were black listed? I ask because in my experience with Whip she is honest, brutally so, and why would she lie about something so small when she is so honest about all the big stuff?
It doesn't make sense to me, so that is why I'm askin.
Trudy,
No wonder she hasn't had her past posts reinstated! |
I can't remember which article it was in or I'd link it. Anyway, Brad asked LW if she wanted her articles back and she said "nah." So she can have them anytime she wants.
The very fact that he's out of work John is good reason to stay off the dope and use the money to pay bills, including the vet. Instead her own selfish "wants" came first. |
Trudy I don't know much about you but I do know you suffer from R/A. Do you take pain meds for it, ever? LW has several very painful physical health issues, she could be prescribed more legal narcotics than any one addict could ever use. With each of these prescriptions she would have a co-pay. Even if it is only five dollars a prescription, you can see how that'd add up pretty quick. She has found an alternative to the "wonderful" chemicals with all their wonderful side effects and it is much cheaper.
I don't personally smoke pot. But if I was in pain (or needed it for psychological reasons..ie, mood stabilizing)and found it relieved that pain better than any other chemical you can rest assured I'd do it. Legal or not. And I don't think I am an exception.
I think it is a CRIME in this country that pot can't be used more for medicinal purposes. But that's another story.
So to say LW should spend the money on bills...well that is deceitful because part of her "bills" without pot is co-pay. And co-pay is more costly than a bag of pot when you start adding prescription on top of prescription.
In most groups of people there is usually a smaller group that doesn't get along. I am in that smaller group my fair share. While I can't speak to you Doc because your thing with LW goes long before I got here...and frankly I don't see it ever being resolved. Though I wish it was...shesh, I'm not holding my breath.
Trudy on the other hand. I started reading your blog when I first came to JU. I thought you were sweet and I liked reading about your life. I was right there when you flipped out on LW for saying "chin up." I was just as shocked as she when you lost it...and then later when you said it was a "trigger" for you...I thought, ok..that makes sense, now all is well. Back to the old Trudy.
But the truth is you never got back to that old Trudy. You'd write a couple good articles, a bunch of filler, and then you'd freak out a little bit again on someone for something minor. And each time I wondered, "What just happened? Why did she respond like that?"
I stopped reading you almost completely when you bowed up in attitude against me on one of your articles. I can't even remember what it was about but you got really defensive. I remember thinking, "As many times as I've responded on her articles and she acts like this? She didn't even ask if I meant offense, just assumed I did." You never even asked for clarification, just dove right off the deep end.
It was then I realized, what you did to LW, you will do to anyone eventually. It seems like all it takes is for you to disagree with someone and when they defend their position you go a little postal and the more its discussed the more postal you become.
I don't come to JU for that kind of drama. So except for maybe three articles, I haven't read you since. And honestly those were accidents because I wasn't paying attention to the author. I even responded on one or two before I realized they were yours. I'm not saying that to hurt your feelings because I believe you post your articles to the forums for people to enjoy, learn, chat, and READ.
You lost a pretty faithful reader with all the hysterics. I can't imagine I am the only one who dropped you from their "must read" list.
All that to say this. You've experienced some pretty incredible things. Write about those Trudy. That is what you do best.
