As I tweetled about last night, Manoj is home from India, bleary-eyed, but his underwear is intact. It will take awhile to get back to our routine, but I am glad he is back and will probably grant him a week's reprieve in grousing about Inappropriate Sock Placement. 'Tis the least I could do.
In a conversation with someone today, it came to light that I subscribe to a particular hate blog. The person expressed disappointment that I would subscribe to such a site. And I see her point.
I subscribe to the hate blog because awhile back, they directed nastiness towards a friend of mine and I did jump in the fray to defend her. I mainly peruse the feeds to see if my friends are bagged on again. But I do periodically question the waste of my time seeing such vitriolic tripe, particularly, since I do not even read most of the sites referenced. I have not cleaned out my feed reader for awhile, perhaps I need to get to some early spring cleaning.
While I ponder this, I am going to redirect you to my guest post over at Brit's crib, With a Little Help From My Friends. She is on an extended bedrest and I am asking folks who have been on bedrest for advice.
I am glad he is home safely. I am sure you are relieved to have him back as well.
ReplyDeleteI have recently begun a little cleaning of my reader as well. I set the criteria for myself that if it wasn't a blog that I could comment on with some regularity, then it meant that it was a blog that didn't move me, and I didn't need to keep my list cluttered with those. Needless to say, since I am writing this epic novel of a comment, I connect with your writing :)
Now I'm dying to know which hate blog it is.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I don't actually know how to use a feed reader, yet. I should get on that.
ReplyDeleteGlad he's back safely!
ReplyDeleteI try to stay away from negative blogs just for my own happiness. I'd rather be out of the loop than brought down by other people's ugliness. This is also why I seldom read any of the political blogs to whose feeds I subscribe (and especially not their comments).
