OK not a more meaty post tonight, I am too tired, have a headache and it is making me unable to think.
I will say this much, I have thought often about what I write on here, the things I put on here for fun and smiles, those I put here for informational reasons, ad those that are strictly just updates on the lap band. When i think about them I wonder if what I want to get across is getting there at all. I mean this blog was originally started as a way to keep those I care about informed as to what all was going on in my life post surgery. In recent weeks however I have found that most of those people don't even read this. They think it is impersonal, don't like the pictures I put on here and that the code names I give people are just childish. And yet I have meet at least a couple people who I consider to be friends now because of this blog so it can't that horrid of a thing.
Why do I give code names? to protect them and me. I know of blogs where the people seem perfectly willing to put real names out there I am not even willing to put changed names out there so I do cutesy names like pinkie, names I will remember who they are and names that can not be confused as someones real name. I mean who would name their kid vetguy? or Pumkin? I guess the people who don't read this who I was hoping would read it originally just don't get the whole concept. That, yes! This is very much like a journal and as such I am going to write what I feel and what is happening if that comes across as being the diary of a 12 year old well I am sorry but sometimes this 38 year old has the feelings of a 12 year old.
Sometimes I have fears or problems and I want input or feedback so I actually ask for it on here, that way those who wish can respond and those who don't want to don't have to and I will never know if they even read it.
For example I have been thinking about getting AdSense on here but with looking at the counter I put on here a few days ago probably won't. Wouldn't be worth it. but if I were to decide to do it anyway would it be something that bother y'all? would you be willing to click an ad every once in a while? would it anger you or stop you from visiting even though it wouldn't change anything really except there would be ads on the blog but no pop ups or the like?
I should learn how to do a poll question cuz it would be AdSense yes or no?

I would click on it. ;)
I'm sorry your friends aren't supporting you on this - but it's your blog - do what you want with it and don't worry about them.
I had hoped my inlaws and family would read mine - hardly any of them do that either. NONE of the inlaws bother. sigh. But, I still keep blogging because I want to.
Sometimes we just change our purpose, and that's okay too. When I had haven, my purpose was to inform family and friends back home of what was happening to us. That's really changed hasn't it!?
hugz - and tag, you're it! :D
I read your blog still and texasblu. I appreciate texasblu's and your blog b/c otherwise I wouldn't know what is going on in your lives as neither one of you is very good about emailing anymore. and texasblu never calls :S But that's life, things change. but please keep blogging!
Pinkie :) p.s. I like my name :D
