hey chica. i'm ok. tired. i miss the days of being unemployed.

ok here's the short version: like an idiot i was reading a comment on my blog at work. a coworker came by my desk. now my screen is blown up big as day because i'm dang near blind.

he must have noticed it because later i checked my stats and there was someone from my work ISP (it doesn't id individual machines) who did a google search for the blog and looked around for a bit--a weeee bit.

i think that even if he knew it was my blog, which he might not have, he probably wouldn't tell anyone just because of the nature of it. but one can never tell with him anyway.

there were no more hits on the stat counter from my area. but he and theothers in my officce are such computer geniuses, i owuldn't put it past him to know a way to read it without my knowing.

the whole thing did challenge me a bit as to speaking out loud and just being me EVERYWHERE.

i'll drop u a note when i set up shop again.

Marie no one has to take sides. Please keep out of it! No one knows what happened except the people involved. Also many people left the blog and were very upset by this situation. I was VERY upset by it. You don’t know about it so you should stay out of it!

Hello Marie -

I came across your blog through Seth Frye's. Love the poems - very sad, but through-provoking. Those words could only come from inside someone who has been through difficult times.

May I ask a personal question? Are you Jewish? No particular reason, I just get the impression that you are.

Anyway, thanks for providing some philosophical thoughts for the day!

Sans-Glad to hear from you again. Please keep in touch. I want to know how you are doing.

MA-I have no intentions of getting into this mess. I am just offering support to SS like she did for me. I understand what it is like to undergo character assination in blogland. You of all people should understand that. She and you have been constantly under attack and she finally fought back just as I did.

Aaron-Welcome glad to have you. Yes I have been through a lot of hard times. "I never have been a blue calm sea; I have always been a storm". I am not Jewish but Italian. If you read my comments you can see my Italian attitude shining through. I grew up in a very dysfunctional family and that reflects itself in my poetry. Check out poetry.com and type in coppla,marie to read more of my poems.

Hi Marie -

I just read more from your blog. How has life been since you've been diagnosed as Bi-Polar? The first step is the diagnosis - now you can concentrate on living with it. Best of luck to you.

Aaron

PS: I don't want to sound like a nag, but you really should quit smoking. Nothing good comes of it!

Marie said...

Aaron-thanks for reading other parts of the blog. I am relieved that after 37 years I have a firm diagnosis. I do not like taking the meds because I have lost a part of myself in them. If you read the "Missing" post you will see what I mean. I do not think you are nagging. Quitting smoking is on my to do list.

Living with Bi-Polar is taking one day at a time. Thank you for dropping by again. You are welcome to visit any time.

Sage-Thanks for stopping by. I am not ashamed of my illness. I am on the Depakote and Zoloft. I was in a little denial at first. I am tired of being called a physco and out of mind. I do not believe I am any of these things. I am just someone with a mental affliction struggling to make a normal life for myself. Please feel free to drop by anytime.
