Thanksgiving weekend, someone in my family searched my name, found these posts, and well, I got battered (emotionally) for some of the things I said, not because they were dishonest, but because I was "hanging dirty laundry out for the public to see". I say honest things here. You are my friends and this, I thought, was a safe place to vent. I was mistaken.

Both my son and DIL are on FB so I rarely mention them, don't visit their pages except to see new pictures of my grandsons, and rarely comment on their posts. (Maybe twice a year?) They pretend I don't exist. I have two sisters and a BIL on FB, but we have a great relationship and we visit each others posts and comment freely. Linda and her husband, Art, have such a wacky sense of humor that I cannot help but adore them!

I miss you guys. Because FB is so public, it lacks the friendliness and intimacy that we share here. For months, I posted nothing on MyBloggers because I did not want to encourage them to track (stalk?) me. I feared a re-occurrence of the holiday fiasco. I would hope that if they have been checking to see what new things I've said, that nearly five months of posting nothing would discourage them. I also changed my privacy settings.

What is it about MyBloggers that I am so darn open here? I would not in a million years post those paragraphs above on FB.

I will start coming back again, but if my posts are brief and superficial for a time, please understand. I need to be cautious for a time.
