on monday i sent out an email to all my friends asking that they keep my nana in their thoughts and prayers. the responses that i got was so tremendous i truly felt blessed and touched. this morning i received an email from someone who i considered a friend but giving what they wrote to me i am deeply hurt. this person wrote basically about how i am being selfish because i am begging people for prayers and that i should “call the 700 club”. this person also went on to say that “i also happen to know that what you are describing is not life threatning”. granted this person’s father died recently from a 20 year battle with congenital heart failure and other maladies and i tried to be there as a friend, as did kev. the email that was sent to me was so grossly accusatory and vicious that i just broke down. my family is going through a tough time. my mother is in a shambles as are my aunts and uncles. i’m not sure where this “friend” gets off making her problems bigger and better than anyone elses.
for right now, until i get some explanation from this person’s mouth, these will be my feelings.

Let tar and feather or keel haul.

I reify you and your quest for support and prayer. Like I said yesterday, you need anything, you just call me up.

Maybe this ordeal opened up old wonds for this person and her response was fueled by a personal hurt. It wasn’t the best response she could have given, but it is human nature. Her grief could have been renewed by your own personal trauma. I’m not making excuses for, but it would make sense.

oh, and what you’re describing is not a martyr.

i agree with you rush, however she could have not responded at all. that would have been the right thing to do.

That’s very nice of Rush to take the high road. I choose to take the low road. What a byotch. She obviously has issues that needs to be handled on her own time instead of finding pleasure in your pain. You need to be giving with the identity. Call or send me an email.

I agree with Tori on this one too, L. That shit is not cool. The person who did that was trying to be spiteful at your expense. Which means they need a keg 0′ whoopass busted out on their ass, STAT. Don’t make me get redneck. On a separate note, you gotta let that kinda of stuff roll off your back. You’re an internet celebrity now, you’re gonna get some hatemail.
Just post their comments out of context, publish their email and invite the wrath of your friends. I’m wrathful like a mofo. MWAH HA HA HA. Keep your chin up, kid.

You should never call the 700 club. That just seems like a bad idea waiting to happen.
Just remember that the universe unfolds as it should, and it will unfold as it should onto — er, for your’ “friend” as well.

i called the 700 club once and they redirected me to the 666 club.
bastards!

Good site… Nice design

It does sound like a snappy response… and a response from someone who craves the attention for her problems that she thinks she deserves. However, to receive that attention, you must be prepared to give it… apparently, she doesn’t do that.
Is she really bored enough to watch Pat Robertson??? How would she know exactly what the phone number is???? Creepy!

Hi L,
Sorry you had to go through all of that. No one deserves to have their pain mocked. Your family’s pain is real and valid. And asking for prayers is good, healthy, and quite natural. I’m a firm believer in the power of prayer.
Your friend is obviously wounded and acting out inappropriately. I’m sorry she hurt you. Let’s keep her in our prayers so she will heal and reconcile herself to you, as well. Blessings to you all.

So, I found out who the byotch is and frankly I’m not at all shocked. I know she is Kev’s friend and at times she pretends to be yours, but she is a crazy bitch. I knew that from the first time I saw her. I mean the girl just looks at people like she wants to shit on their face. Don’t pay any attention to her, she has some major problems that have nothing to do with you. I don’t think her mommy told her she loved her enough, or maybe her daddy didn’t get her that pony she wanted. Whatever the problem, I would try to keep my distance.

I told Liesel I would post this days ago and just never jot it done. Does that make me a shithead on another level, quite possibly. Liesel and I argued this out and came to the conclusion that she was dramatic about a subject that I am sensitive about. Both of us reacted badly, and if you don’t belive me ask her. She is a very good friend of mine and any one who believes differently is wrong, we may have are differences but isn’t that what makes friendships stronger, people learning to accept differences and grow closer together?
