I am always touched when someone expresses a concern about me. Means ~ in my mind anyway ~ I'm loved. And that doesn't suck. Whoever you are, you have a concern about me, express it. It's all good.
Don't lecture me. You know who's allowed to lecture me? The Lovely Cats, the Divine M, the Muppet, Nemeria and Appsrus. They've earned it.
You know who's allowed to give me a brick to the head when I need it (and I often do)? Along with the people listed above, Graziella, Coffee Girl, the FAE and Lithus. They've earned it.
There is however a difference between expressing your concern for me and lecturing me. So, to the person whose name is not listed above ...
(say it with me, people...)
Just Shut the Fuck Up.
And thank you.
Those are Pobble Thoughts. That and a buck fifty will get you coffee.

This is a very logical post. Everything is categorized. And, you laid down the law like John Wayne in... every movie he's ever been in. Yet, the hierarchical structure of your relationships and your defense of the system is very emotional. And I recognized the logic AND the emtion in the post. Don't want to flog the proverbial dead horse but... I still don't know how to categorize behaviour according to gender. Wait... is this a lecture? Oh no. Um... all I meant to say was... um...
right on sister!
Crap. My name isn't listed above.
Anyway, YEAH, say it, sistah! I need to work up the nerve to let that one out, now and again.
Ok, so I didn't say anything to begin with, but I'll STFU just the same. I am SO not gonna mess with an irked Pobble.
xoxo
GOML! ~ Not a lecture at all. Just an exchange of thoughts and ideas. And those ROCK!
GNG ~ Your name isn't listed above, true, but since you have never tried to lecture me, you're safe. :) And please note, I say it hear ~ that probably means I don't *actually* say it (at least not that way) when I'm thinking it.
Jaded ~ SUCH a smart woman! rofl
Pobble! You know I'd never lecture you. I'd be much more inclined to say something along the lines of "hmm...are you sure you want to do that?" I just give you the opening and then you lecture yourself! :-)
Must talk soon - so much going on. Miss you!!!
Nemeria ~ I know you wouldn't...but you could. ;) There's the difference.
hehe It's so helpful to vent.
...
Graziella ~ Even when life conspires against you in getting it all out at one sitting!
Dagoth ~ Playing it safe, my friend? rolf
oh, i can't wait to hear what brought this one on.
and of course, you are on my list too
Well now, since I didn't make "the list", I'm not certain where I fit in on this equation....
I can't imagine offending you, and you know my concern for you is genuine.... the comments, the emails and telephone calls can attest to that; and you know that I love you dearly!
Sooooooooo, who would you like me to beat up for you dear?
DON~
I'm not listed there either but that's a good thing because, well, because I haven't chatted with you in a very long time...so I know I'm safe! hehe...I can stfu just fine though if it's ever a problem! :)
btw...my 17 year old daughter wants to write for a living...would you be willing to email and chat with her at some point? she is so nervous however writing is her first love and she's been doing it since before she even knew what the letters she was putting together meant.
I have my moments of sheer brilliance, my dear. They may be few and far between, but I do have them, lol.
okay...names not on the list...but I don't remember EVER lecturing you in the last...um...well, you know how many years as well as I do that we've known each other. My brain has been a bit fried recently with work, so if I did lecture you recently I am really sorry. It's not really my style to try to lecture. Counsel medically, yes, lecture no.
I just love unsolicited and uncomprimisingly (sp?) insistent advice, and it seems like you do to. Ha.
The list of people that works with is very, very small.
Lovely Cats ~ As soon as you're home from OBX, I'll dish.
Don ~ I have never felt lectured by you, only loved. ;)
Traci ~ LOL. And yes, I would be happy to chat with your daughter. You know how to reach me.
Pharmyard ~ OVERSIGHT! OVERSIGHT! You are Most Definitely on the Could Lecture Me list. Again, you've earned it!
$$ ~ Amazing what people think they are allowed to say sometimes, isn't it?????
there is a difference between showing concern and lecturing. People nned to get a grip and shut up for real. We are grown, we don't need lecturing...
Rose ~ Amen sistah!
