Miss Manners didn't die, did she?!?

I have been watching what people blog about and it's become pretty clear that people blog for a number of different reasons.

I have friends that blog as a way of personal journaling (as a sort of therapy), for some it's a way to let people know what you've been up to, and for others, it's a way to keep track of what happened/where type of documentation. I use it for all three.

I have also noticed that people make comments that they shouldn't make. I have talked to a few of my friends that have had people make comments that are just plain rude, assumptive and have turned posts & comments into fodder for gossip.

Personally, I LOVE when people make comments and haven't had rude comments on my page. I have been fortunate that way... but other's haven't. So I have posted the Miss Manners Etiquitte Link (click on the purple). I'm not saying that I have perfect manners when it comes to SO many areas, but I try.

With regard to gossip, a friend recently wrote on her blog that she was fed up with her family and didnt' give a lot of details. All of a sudden, according to "friends" she is divorcing, quit going to church, and is now on a lot "happy pills", almost to the point of addiction. None of these are true. She is still happily married, her 5 kids have been her main source of stress, has a wonderful calling and is getting help, but there aren't pills involved, yet. ☺ Her close friends know the real story, but the "others" have assumed and made her life miserable. So, please be careful about your comments.

What I think people have forgotten about blogs is that you are visiting someone's thoughts about life and in a way, visiting their home. Don't make remarks in the comment area that you wouldn't make to them in person.

I stole...

this wonderful video. It made me wonder what Curt and I would do if we had made one like this. It'a nice reminder of "Pushing Daisies", a show that before I could really get into... had sadly been cancelled.

Enjoy.

Meet the Brockingtons

I love this.

I will admit... I love to dance.

Not in a "yo GabbaGabba" sense of the word, though sometimes it ends up looking that way. "My name is Shellee, I like to dance"

Anyway, I dance with Hayden all the time, I also do the actions for Dora the Explorer and Diego, too. This morning Hayden and I rescued Boots the Monkey from the sand trap. Yay us!

Anyway, I would love nothing more than to be involved with something like this:



I think this would be so much fun!
