I’ve been lucky since starting this blog. I’ve never had one piece of hatemail. I’ve never had to delete a comment.(I realize that I’ve just jinxed myself.) Which surprises the hell out of me. Just because I’ve only been blogging a year and a half or so, I’m no noob. I’ve experienced all kinds of hateful mail, personal attacks, and even a woman who took pictures of my baby and me and posted them on an infertility message board as her own.
But you kids. There is nothing I can say here that you won’t back me up on. In the wee small hours, I sit and ponder how evil I would have to be to start getting judgmental hatemail and assvice-y comments.
I kid, I kid. I like it this way, and I love that my readers are not assholes. It warms the cockles of my heart, really. 
Moving on, is anyone else watching Weeds? Doesn’t Nancy know that U-Turn will never let her pay off her “debt”? The only way out is for her to kill him. Doesn’t she know that? And no moralizing talky-speak. She is a drug dealer. She must do what has to be done. I don’t kill people, but I am not a drug dealer, either. You’ve got to commit to your career choice you know?
Also Big Love. OMG how can it be over already? Also, things only seem calm. And Bill is arrogant and stupid enough to think this is not all going to come crashing down around his head. What a yutz!
Finally, Britney Spears. Do we really think that she’s giving her children alcohol? Now I know that she doesn’t have the most stellar track record, but really. It’s like we’ll believe anything about her because we think she’s some stupid hillbilly. Now I’m not a hillbilly, so I don’t speak from experience, but I’d bet my coach bag that even hillbillies know that the moonshine is not for babies. And I think Britney does too.
But I have been wrong before.

Weeds, no. Big Love, no. Brittany? Hard to avoid; I listened to a gossip segment on the radio this morning, and totally cringed. Also: I think she would totally do the alcohol nap-time thing.
Also, that thing about the woman who stole your baby’s pictures and posted them as her own is very creepy, and makes me want to take all my pictures down from my site.

One of the VERY FIRST comments I ever got was from some douche who went off about how I clearly was defensive about having AD in daycare (WTF?) He got to my site through a Google search for “don’t mess with Texas”. Sigh. I guess that is what I get for a having a blog that has anything to do with TEXAS. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: FUCKING TEXAS.

Well, Penny, that’s up to you. I don’t watermark anymore, but if you notice, I’m extremely cagey about where I live and work, and everybody’s name except mine. Hell, I won’t even say what kind of car I drive. There’s a lot of uncertainty out there. It’s possible that someone is using my daughter’s pictures, but for now ignorance is bliss.
The woman who stole the pics even used my belly pics. I met her in hbo.com’s message forums. She told me she was a mother to toddler twins and that her husband was deployed to iraq. She showed me fake pics that turned out to be her SIL. I later googled her screen name, and found all these posts with similar details and a tell tale writing voice on a PCOS message board. I confronted her, she apologized, I thought it was all over.
Six months later, she’s signed in as a new user posting pictures of me 8 months pregnant. She had made “friends” who sent her presents for her “baby” Madisyn Rose. Now I know that I’ve only called my daughter “Ducky” here, but I can guarantee you her real name ain’t Madisyn Rose. I gave her enough rope to hang herself, then I exposed her on the message board. I challenged her to post a picture of herself and her “daughter” holding up today’s paper.
I guess it was no real harm done to me or my daughter, and she was just a desperate, pathetic woman. What really bugged me was that she had my address (because I’m a sucker, and sent her a “cheer up” present once, and wrote my return address on the package).
Whew! Long story. I guess what I’m getting at is be careful, but don’t let psychos ruin your fun, you know?

That’s really creepy that someone used your pics. I wonder why? Having a blog of my own that kind of makes me think twice about what I say and the pics I post.
Anyway…
Big Love is a fantastic show and I’m totally addicted to it. That Alby is one son of a bitch.
And as far as Britney giving her kids alcohol….who knows. My mother was a “hillbilly” from Texas. As a baby, when I was teething, she would put whiskey on my gums. She also used to give me pink lemonade and whiskey to make me go to sleep when I was in grade school.
I think you just lost your Coach bag! Haha.

Well I am so very sorry to tell you that you would be coachless by now, yes I too was given whiskey on my gums and “hot toddys” when I was sick. So for some parents it is a handy fix to slip your kids a swig of whisky or some other type of “hillbilly punch” to calm them down or knock them out. Although I don’t practice those methods.

I’m a huge Weeds fan, but I haven’t been sucked into Big Love yet. And I’m a ridiculously deranged person, because I want to believe that Britney is going to have a nice little comeback and will get past this! And that her kids will too!
I am also holding out for a Brad and Jen reunion so, you know, don’t give my pop culture opinions too much weight.

Haven’t seen the shows, so can’t comment.
Britney.. I dunno. Trainwreck. Pretty sad when I actually think K-Fed might actually be a more stable parent.
What a total whacko that posted your pics and stuff. ewwww… I do worry about that stuff sometimes. Someone on my agency’s private board just said that someone took her kid’s pics off of her photo site(can’t remember which one now) and then posted them on their myspace page as their own kids and their friends. Makes me wonder… As I have used all of our real names…..

Dude — I had a high school friend who gave her 2 year old beer at a graduation party saying
“well she has to get used to the taste” and a taste of a strawberry daquiri at 9 months so “she slept better”, so do I think someone as stupid as Britney would do it too….
You bet my lily white ass I do!

My two favorite shows dished over in one place!
Weeds: Yes, I think that U-turn better be watching his back, but I’d really hate for anything to happen to Marvin (Martin? I can’t remember). I do think it’s hilarious, however, that she keeps trying to get him to feel some empathy for her. Also? What kind of crazy thing will Andy come up with to stay out of Iraq?
Big Love: Every time Barb makes the choice to return to the fold, I’m disappointed in her. Bill is an ass, plain and simple.
Now, do you watch Lost? Because if you do, I may just be your biggest fan. (And not the crazy kind of fan that posts pictures of you and says they are me.)

love me some big love…what about sarah??? you go girl! and how about that dance they were letting tansy do? tiny tramp training, that is what that is. and how about the whole “ben wants to be a polygamist” thing?!?! and lois told wanda to poison Frank!?!?
i will miss you, big love. come back soon.
anyone else notice that it has been a couple of episodes since we saw bill’s naked ass? what gives?

@hergrace: I tried to email this response, but it bounced:
I love Marvin! I love when he’s like (paraphrasing) you got a nice head. and he’s the deep dicking psychic! and how he told celia that she was nasty.
Bill is such an arrogant, selfish fool. It’s nearly pathological. Actually, I take that back. He’s a TOOL.
I don’t watch Lost. But I want to. Every summer I say I’m going to rent the DVDs and catch up. And I never do. And I feel like the whole point of the show is how complex it is, and I’d hate to just jump in.
Unless you want to come sit on my couch with me and answer every annoying question I have.
Thanks for stopping by! Nice to “meet” you
@rebecca
You know Teeney’s dance struck me as more dorky than sexy anyway. And I feel bad that the younger kids have such a limited circle of friends (pretty much creekers and don’s kids)
Ever since we saw his wang (in a johnson sock) through nicki’s window we’ve been ass-less.
If I remember right, Ben said he wanted to “live the principle” way back in the pilot, so I’m not that surprised. Also, almost all teenagers do something to rebel, only this time it’s with a twist.
Lois, Lois, Lois. I knew it was you ALL ALONG.
