If I've had something to do with your decision to pull the plug on your blog, I'm truly sorry.<BR/><BR/>I too feel inadequate and not good enough as a blogger. I'm constantly hovering on the edge of giving it away myself. Right now I feel like I've blogged myself to a standstill again. I'm sick of being a negative whinging cynic and doomsayer in my blog and I don't seem to have it in me to do a positive, "the world is just rosy" kind of blog. But I don't want to stop blogging. It's an addiction I guess. Perhaps it's not doing me any good either, although my parnter seems to think I've become more mellow in real life because I do all my ranting here.<BR/><BR/>It's just that I feel my rants have done damage to others. <BR/><BR/>Anyway I'm just waffling on about myself now, and the idea was to try to say something to you that might help you. I don't know what to say, Ron, but I send you my best wishes. That's about all I can do right now.<BR/><BR/>Anzac day has knocked me down as well, Ron, but possibly for different reasons. It's a difficult day for many. <BR/><BR/>Take care, old son...The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884172849865230486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732615.post-1114390256596967612005-04-25T10:50:00.000+10:002005-04-25T10:50:00.000+10:00Ron, I am really sad that you feel that way. When ...Ron, I am really sad that you feel that way. When I look at the blogs who link to yours I am struck by two things:<BR/><BR/>(1) The large number.<BR/><BR/>(2) The quality of those blogs.<BR/><BR/>Heck mate, you've got bloggers linking to your blog, who, if they linked to mine, would have me glowing with pride and cause my ego to explode (this would not be a good thing, so thank the God of Atheists that they are not linking here!)<BR/><BR/>I suspect you are going through a bad patch emotionally, and I hope that when you feel better, (and you will), you'll resurrect your blog, but only if you want to, mind. Don't do it out of a sense of compulsion or obligation. (You can tell me to stick my unsolicited advice where the sun don't shine. :-)<BR/><BR/>I love my blogging (when I'm not spitting the dummy that is. :-)<BR/><BR/>I think it's an important release for my crap. I think it's where I learn through my mistakes. It's where my attidudes and beliefs get challenged by others and this is a refining process for my soul.<BR/><BR/>I don't get out much (I'm a card-carrying recluse), and so this is my way of still interacting with a community. I'm not currently getting any "help" (counselling/psychobabble), but when I was, I was repeatedly told to write my shit down, to keep a journal. Well, in a sense, this is what I do on my blog, with the added dimension of allowing other people able to read it and interact with me about what I say. A bit like group therapy. (And you're all doing a wonderful job, by the way. :-)<BR/><BR/>What I'm saying is that blogging needn't be bad for the soul.<BR/><BR/>If you do decide to keep away permanently, I wish you all the best and I will miss you and your blog. Take care, Ron.<BR/><BR/>Brownie, good morning, and yes, I can now do everything with my blog again, but I have to do it by using IE for some functions, and Firefox for others, till I sort out what's causing the shit.<BR/><BR/>By jingo, have a Happy Anzac day, y'all !!!The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884172849865230486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732615.post-1114379186278700742005-04-25T07:46:00.000+10:002005-04-25T07:46:00.000+10:00Good morning Gerry - hope your tech clouds float a...Good morning Gerry - hope your tech clouds float away soon. Because you are in his area, I am wondering if our Ron of Mountain Murmurs is OK. yesterday I read a comment of his (somewhere) that agreed we are all a lot of sad old bastards with nothing better to do, and now his blog is DECEASED. Yes it is 7:30 and I am online. Eating breakfast and trying to ignore gutwrenching pain I have no other obligations to the world, and have read all the newspapers. am concerned about Ron though.BwcaBrowniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500142856655553009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732615.post-1114332758873300542005-04-24T18:52:00.000+10:002005-04-24T18:52:00.000+10:00Please ignore the previous comment.

All I can do is post comments which is why you're reading this here. I have no idea how to fix it so I don't know how long this will go on for.</B>The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884172849865230486noreply@blogger.com
