I am bruised
just did a google search on the Katrina relief group I have been working with and found lots of nasty stuff about me. I guess I need to count my worth by my enemies as well as my friends, eh friends?

still.

fuck em

Onward.

1. Need more facts.
What did you do, and why are people saying nasty stuff about you?

2. Worked with VFP in Covington
freepers and their ilk are saying bad things about me. No, I didn't steal. Yes, the situation was/is chaotic and disorganized. Yes, we helped a shitload of people. That is too hard for them to understand. I just am getting back online, still working on raising money and stuff to send south. Did a search about what we were doing down there to find "them" badmouthing me. I think they are jerks. I am being polite.

4. It is always hard to read nasty stuff about yourself, even when
it's coming from people you don't respect.....

But, having said that, you DO NOT need to count your worth by your enemies as well as by your friends!

Just say to yourself...consider the source.......over and over, till it takes root....

They are contemptible ...beneath contempt...beneath your worthy vision...

Fuck them and the horses they rode in on......

Just my two cents worth....

5. Exactly
Wow, profanity from CP. I find I have gotten more profane and less tolerant this last month. Was already pretty cynical, worse now also. Thank you California Peggy. Shrug and go on. Thank you.

9. Hi there, my dear KW!
I do NOT recall your saying anything about how I should not use this word!

But I gather you disapprove? Hmmmmm.......:shrug:

14. I am so sorry,my dear wildhorses......
I will, in future, amend my statement to the one that won't hurt you...

I love horses as well, and it gave me pause to write that phrase as well.....

Didn't know there was an alternative.....but now I do!

Thank you......:hug: :loveya: :pals:

12. You're right: f**k 'em
if they can't take a joke! (Not that you are a joke, uppityperson!) Some people just can't seem to stand the idea of people helping people other than themselves! Those folks are not worth a drop of energy!
