I'm glad you're funny too! My husband and I still make eachother crack up after 23 years of being together...not bad!<BR/><BR/>S.T.: it is hard to know how far to go with your writing...how much to reveal, how "expressive" to get with your words. I have tried not to be too foul mouthed here (which, believe me, I could easily do!) because I don't want to turn people away. As far as "revealing" topics...it's hard to know, it's a very personal decision...but, I like the idea of a women's jblogger revolution!!!cruisin-momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640061323519954002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13873440.post-1138509442903232142006-01-28T20:37:00.000-08:002006-01-28T20:37:00.000-08:00"How many times have you written a letter, sent an..."How many times have you written a letter, sent an email, written a blog post knowing what you meant to say...but the receiver or receivers on the other end, totally misconstrue what you have written?" <BR/><BR/>Ummm, YES. In fact that just happen. The person I was addressing I happen to know very well, but they didn't know it was me and did not pick up on the hints that it was me. They totally took it into a different direction than I anticipated. I thought I was being clever and it went right over his head. Oh well. <BR/><BR/>RJC - I know the feeling about writing with the audience in mind rather than what you want to write about. I admit that I do that. I sometimes hold back, but surprisingly, I have found that even on the most religiously conservative blogs, some topics are not as taboo as I would think. I don't think I am quite as freespirited with my postings as I sometimes wish I could be, or with my comments (CM...I think you know what I mean...SF ring a bell?) I tried it once or twice and it seemed that everyone stayed far away from it. In fact, I was reading Z's blog Matza and Marinara and she had a link to another person's blog that was quite freespirited and wrote openly about some funny topics. I commented that perhaps I should get an alias so I too could write about my boobs, the joys of sex and other fun adventures. Maybe then I will get some comments, unlike my previous posts. Hey, maybe I will just repost them. It may just open the floodgates of a new jblogger's women's revolution. : )...

I went back to posting what I was interested in- and I am much happier. Oh, yes, sometimes I do feel almost jealous of those blogs that get a ginormous amount of comments, but then I think how much time those people must spend blogging- and I just don't have that kind of time. As for people understanding or misunderstanding, I get that more in e-mail. I just can't seem to get emotion across in e-mail. Blogging, yes, e-mail, no.<BR/>Keep up the good work, I say! I'm kind of like you... I like to keep my blog interesting and I think I'm funny, too! Must be all the Jerry Lewis I watch!Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287107184977896696noreply@blogger.com
