For those of you wondering why I haven't updated this blog in almost 2 years, the answer is I wound up "closing it" such as it were. This will be the last post on this blog.
Why?
I have a stalker!
A relative of mine is a health professional. One of their patients decided to look up any any everything they could about my relative's family (including extended family) on the web. As I had given enough clues to my identity, the stalker brought my blog to the relatives attention. Said relative asked that I refrain from mentioning them in the blog.
I went one step further and stopped blogging, not out of courtesy to my relative, but, because I felt violated. My blog was my dialysis. I could spew out my bile here and leave refreshed. If I couldn't rant about my family if I needed to, then I began to feel the need to censor myself in all aspects of the blog which left me little choice but to close this blog (and no, I haven't opened a new one. I've just found new outlets for my angst such as beating the kids, kicking the cats and..... er scratch that. Seriously though, I have found new outlets that are not destructive.)
So, to that stalker. I hope you're happy.
