I decided (finally) to move all my journal to blogspot, which i did.. then i also moved my UK journal "back home" to my normal aol journal. Because I was frustrated no matter which way i went "in aol".. if i remained at UK i had to move it all there (a second move) and who knows when the banners will show up there too? And then i would find myself right where i was again. So i was "tense" waiting for ads at UK and frustrated at my "home journal in aol".. <BR/><BR/>the animation of the ad is what bothers me most.. both the movement and the fact i am on dialup and it makes loading my journal that much longer.<BR/><BR/>So I am still "unsettled" in my feelings. I want to feel comfortable with BOTH the journals since they are mirror copies (so the disaster that happened to someone when aol lost 18 months of his journal doesn't happen to me!)<BR/><BR/>I'm no one important in "journal land" but i enjoyed it.. since it all happened I'm still not back to the enjoyment i had before it all began. I don't even write my posts with the feelings i had.. sure hope it gets better<BR/><BR/>http://journals.aol.com/deslily/HereThereandEverywhere/<BR/><BR/>http://herethereandeverywhere2ndedition.blogspot.com/DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-1133268560435555702005-11-29T07:49:00.000-05:002005-11-29T07:49:00.000-05:00I was raised under the rule that I was not allowed...I was raised under the rule that I was not allowed to be angry. After all, my job, as the eldest child, was to be the peacemaker, to keep my voice quiet and my eyes dry as everyone around me was falling apart.<BR/><BR/>So I rarely cry, and I even more rarely show my anger. <BR/><BR/>When the one place I had that was all mine, where the people I associated with were people I chose and I came to admire and love, was dirtied without any warning, I think a lot of pent up anger about a lot of things just came out. And they came out fast. And while I probably should have watched my words more carefully, those were honest words. Honest anger. <BR/><BR/>Some people took my anger at AOL personally. They were wrong to do that, because it was never intended as any reflection on anyone, simply my own reasons for being so hurt and my own reasons for leaving so abruptly. So I was mad right out of the blocks.<BR/><BR/>And, to be honest, it felt good to have a place to let it out, to scream foul and to defend my principles without (I thought) being told to be quiet. <BR/><BR/>And I'm glad I did rather than bottle it up yet again. Because now the anger is gone from me. I still grieve what we lost, and I will still fight for what I think is right, but I'm ready to move forward now.<BR/><BR/>But I certainly recognize those physical symptoms you list. I don't know how many times I would awake only to start grinding my teeth all over again.<BR/><BR/>Excellent idea, Carly.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495025947391158651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-1133252259409415852005-11-29T03:17:00.000-05:002005-11-29T03:17:00.000-05:00There's a lot of wisdom here, Carly, and that quot...There's a lot of wisdom here, Carly, and that quote from Aristotle is just perfect! I agree with all of this.<BR/><BR/>You know (keeping in mind that you are not a doctor), John has been complaining that I've been snoring recently, moaning in my sleep, even babbling. He thinks it's because I've been gaining weight, and having allergies. What if it's not that at all? Well, anyway, I told him to wear earplugs. :)<BR/><BR/>KarenKaren Funk Blocherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860091802901743222noreply@blogger.com
