(and has a mom that loves run on sentences) Just saying you should share you writing with the rest of your family if you trust us like you should. <BR/>Love you<BR/> Aunt CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322841.post-1137772740222426982006-01-20T09:59:00.000-06:002006-01-20T09:59:00.000-06:00Yeah, I forgot it's Friday.

I'm so grateful for the wonderful things my m...Wow. I'm so grateful for the wonderful things my mom, my sister, and my wife have to say about my writing. Beata is always very supportive, and that means a lot to me. Reading Jill's and Mom's comments here is touching. It also makes me feel bad because their fear and apprehension is palpable.<BR/><BR/>Beata's blog is perfect for keeping up with our lives. She'll keep you informed and entertained with her sweet stories and photos. I love it and so will you.<BR/><BR/>Mom's right about my web log. I write it more like a column (in the most slanted, unedited, uncensored newspaper you could ever hope [or not hope] to read). It's not for everybody, and it's definitely not for kids.<BR/><BR/>I was going to include my URL in order to take the pressure off mom. I don't want her to feel responsible for whatever fallout she fears might ensue. But after writing "it's definitely not for kids," I've decided against posting the link here since everyone--young and old--gets invited to check out mom/Jer's boring life.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how best to do this, but maybe people should somehow "subscribe" in the beginning.<BR/><BR/>First, I need you to imagine being personally attacked on the basis of your religious and/or political views. By me. <BR/><BR/>Attacking family and friends is by no means what I do on my blog, and it's definitely not my aim. Just the same, some people invariably interpret writing of this nature as a personal affront no matter how clear or abundant the disclaimers and warnings may be.<BR/><BR/>So it's critical that you first consider the scenario and then take honest inventory of how that makes you feel and whether you think your relationship with me will suffer irreparably. Again, remember: I'm not writing to you. I'm just writing. This is simply an open invitation for you to observe as a 'third party' if you want. I've been far from home for so long now... If you want to know me better, I guess this is one opportunity. Without a doubt, though, it's an opportunity that you can pass up without hurting my feelings. It certainly might spare yours.<BR/><BR/>Here's a handful of words that some might use to describe parts of my blog: insightful, stupid, biased, refreshing, vile, sage, immature, intelligent, crap. I openly admit that they're all accurate.<BR/><BR/>This is much less of an issue than it might seem. Who am I? Nobody, really. Although I don't take myself nearly as seriously as my blog might indicate, I urge you to be judicious in subscribing (for both your sake and mine).<BR/><BR/>Email me at lopaka6@hotmail.com if you want the URL.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE YOU ALL. Remember that. :-)<BR/>-RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322841.post-1137699884653863932006-01-19T13:44:00.000-06:002006-01-19T13:44:00.000-06:00I think people can read and disagree (I sure do). ...I think people can read and disagree (I sure do).

No one has to agree with anything he says...and if you don't, then you just stop reading and go to another site.<BR/><BR/>By the way Rob, your style of writing makes it YOU. Don't change for anyone as it is your BLOG. - Love you. Sis.Jill and Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668795482348124030noreply@blogger.com
