Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 18 June 2014

I started this morning wanting to journal about finally remembering to log my weight. Since I conveniently forgot what the scale said before I logged it three days in a row I thought this was big news. Then I realized I've been unbuddied by a few people. Did I become that boring? Did I offend someone? Am I annoying? Did I talk about being pregnant so much that people just didn't want to be around me anymore? Maybe it's because I'm so brain dead these days that half the time I can't come up with a response to other people's journals. If I tried it would have been "Hi" or a smiley face. Or maybe a drooling half dead smiley face if they had it but they don't. In case its the last one I do still read your journals! I just can't put together coherant thought to comment most of the time.

So I'm not sure what I did or didn't do but it's kind of sad. I realized a few of them are recent moms so I don't know. I'm at a loss. Maybe it was my rants or whining or maybe they just didn't agree with my views on things. For those of you who can still put up with me I'm grateful and I'm glad I still have all of you as friends because I really do enjoy seeing your progress and groaning along with you through your struggles and appreciate those who care to share my ups and downs.

I can't come up with a good reason why anyone would unbuddy you. Like you, when I can't come up with a worthy response I often say nothing at all, but I read and enjoy your journals. Don't take it personally, I think you're amazing so it's their loss.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. People have all sorts of reasons for doing things and I have yet to be able to explain the actions of others. I love reading your journals. I'm due the end of July and you are my inspiration...although I have yet to actually exercise. :( I think you're great and was just telling my husband about you last night. I told him that I have no idea who you are but I wish we lived closer, because I'm pretty sure we would be great friends.

Now I feel bad.. I will unbuddy people who haven't been here in a couple of months ... I don't know why but it just seems like too many people to keep up with when they aren't really around. But I'd never unbuddy you - you are too inspiring and motivational. It could be sheer stupid software... mine is often closing my journals off to pure private and people wonder where I've gone... if it's someone you miss.. send them a PM and ask. Better than wondering.

I keep all of my buddies. I don't have time to figure out if they are active or not and I have no idea what is going on in their lives. Don't focus on who left, you are a wonderful person who is working the program, their loss.

No worries! I always say, "it is what it is..."! I have un-buddied a few people over the years - but for me the reason was mostly their inactivity on FS. We all drop off the face of the planet once in a while but when there's been NO activity for a long time, they're gone! LOL. Anyhow, that's what our journal is for - to log how we're feeling everyday. You go ahead and keep writing whatever you feel like - whine or no whine - what ever. That's why we put our thoughts down in writing. I'm sure I complain here and there about stuff too.

I got unbuddied by a few people once and when I contacted them...it was a mistake. They did not do it. Just that pesky ghost in the machine...If you like them, send an email to find out if they actually did it.

I love your journals and would never unfriend you!!! You are a great friend to have here on FS!

I love your journals too! I wouldn't take it too personally though, like Jessa said it could have been a mistake, and these are your journals and you can write whatever you want. If someone unbuddied you because they were offended, that's their right, but I honestly don't know what you ever would have said to offend anyone. Unless... Were the people that unbuddied you Amish? Oh yeah, they don't use computers. Well, it was a thought. ;) Just kidding, I haven't seen anything on here about you cussing in front of the Amish in a long time.

Nope no Amish cussing. If anything the Amish should love me right now. I'm a regular at the bake stand every friday. I figure this is the one time in my life when donuts the size of my face are acceptable.. they're all natural. Naturally crafted with sugar and flour and fried in all natural lard. so yeah.. all natural. :) Therefore I can pretend they are healthy.

Thanks everyone! I suppose it is what it is. I can't please everyone. Maybe I should stop talking about donuts though. That can't be helping anyone.

I wouldn't worry about it.. you have to stay true to you and if people don't like it.. then you don't need it either. Keep moving forward :)

I can completely understand what you mean by not knowing what to say. It seems for me, as the day goes on I have much less to say, but in the early morning i have lots to say. I can't explain it, maybe the brain gets overloaded and freezes up some. I don't know. How in the world would you know if someone drops you anyway ?? You keep doing what you are doing, and try not to give it a second thought about what others think or do, this is your journey anyway. :)

Well I just added you,. Does that count?? :) I have never unbuddied anyone but sometimes I get overwhelmed with the number of journals I 'need' to read, I love them but it is time consuming for sure. There are plenty of times when I don't respond too. Generally I am reading from my phone and can't easily respond via the mobile site. I would not worry about it. If I don't like your views, I don't have to keep reading. And if I keep reading, I don't have to keep my mouth (uhh fingers) shut/still. LOL Just a warning :)

You probably weren't the only one they unbuddied if that makes you feel better.

I don't often comment, but I do read your journals! ::Insert drooling half dead smiley face::

Hi Hun. It's their loss. I don't comment much, hardly ever. Why? I'm old, it's been so long since I was pregnant, and you do SO MUCH I am exhausted and want to reach in and shake you and tell you to take it easy :). That said I do love your sense of humour and admire how you never give up. You are doing wonderful with weight and exercise. No debut dying from me :).

From personal experience the hardest thing to deal with is lack of communication. How do you gauge where you stand when the indications to go by are voids? I know my own paranoia is quick to jump to potential worst case scenarios and this is often just a waste of time and energy, but if it helps to reassure you that you are still sane, you aren't the only one who gets a little panicky in that kind of situation. PS I love your idea about the zombie emoticon. :P (I'd try to copy-paste one here if I knew enough about html or so to do it, but you'll have to use your imagination to see what I'd make for now because I am the less computer savvy tech person in my family. :) )
