it's so amusing to me
i know i've ranted on this topic in the past but this particular thread isn't a rant so much as an "observation" of sorts.
first lets start off with the obvious, alright? (and please forgive any ramblings because i'm extremely delirious right now from the flu and my meds and probably shouldn't be allowed near the internet just yet. but anyway...) so yeah, you guys "know" me, right? i mean, i know i mostly haunt the main board but i do hang around here enough that most of y'all know my face by now, right? and a little bit about my personality as well?
and y'all also know that i haven't been posting much in the last several months because i haven't had internet access, right? well, i HAVE been here off and on, reading here and there, trying to stay at least a little bit caught up with what all's going on with my bama board family but i haven't had time to post much of anything.
it's interesting to me that today i've been going through some of the threads and there are gaps in there. gaps??? yeah, gaps. there weren't gaps there before but today there are. someone has blocked me
so i went through a different browser to find out who it is and to try and figure out what on earth would've caused someone to block me (simply because i find it extremely amusing...) and GUESS WHAT??? it's one of the most holiest of rollers among y'all!!! and what did i do to deserve being blocked? absolutely nothing. i have had NO contact with this person except when his WIFE contacted me through my PRIVATE EMAIL back in november offering to help me and my daughter out or at least be someone to talk to because of our situation! (i did not accept this help nor did i ask for this help. i merely expressed appreciation for the gesture and promised to keep in touch should the future bring any significant changes.)
so again i ask you, what did i do? nothing. not one single solitary thing. i do not start drama. i do not seek out to offend anyone. all i do is offer and seek support and fellowship. so, whatever this person's deal is... i just have this to say:

MATTHEW 7:1-5:
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Why does it bother you who blocks you? We all have the prerogative to block whomever we want, it's freedom of choice, plain & simple. If someone blocks me, I figure it's their loss, not mine.

it isn't really that it "bothers" me (well, yeah, it DOES bother me... for about half a second...) it's really more about how amazingly (and AMUSINGLY!) hypocritical some folks are 
What is truely sad is that the person that you addressed this to will not be reading it, as they have blocked you. However, many others share your amusement that often the people who are most critical of others are themselves equally at fault.
A number of years ago, I read an article where they were saying that those things that we are most critical of in others are what we are most critical of in ourselves. While I don't like that when I reflect on it, I find that it has most often been true of myself.
I do admire that you can see the humor in the situation rather than being self blaming or even other blaming. It speaks well of your character and maturity.
i thought for a brief moment about contacting his wife and asking what's up or asking someone else to contact him directly and ask what's up but then i realised that i really just don't even care, lol! it's just an eye-opener to be careful who you trust and who you believe is 'on your side". for all the good deeds they try to do and be KNOWN for, it's funny to have them turn their backs on someone, and without good cause 
How's that flu doing?
It's not a sign of weakness to seek help when you need it.
The only sign of weakness is NOT to seek the help you need.

uggs, my temp's still hanging around 102.2 and my skin hurts so bad... it's like someone scratched the first twelve layers of skin off of my body and then wrapped my clothes around it 
it's crazy man, last night i had my heater set on 77 and had on sweatpants, a sweatshirt and three very thick blankets but i was still freezing cold... but sweating! weird... i went to the pharmacy earlier today and i had to get out of there with a quickness because it was so doggone cold in there! (it wasn't really THAT cold, it's just me and my sickness...) blech... and i have a sneaking suspician that i might've cracked a rib from all the extreme coughing i've been doing. it hurts like a mofo!!!

OUCH!!! That is a pain-full image ... one that may stay in my brain for a while. If I have nightmares about ripping off my skin... I'm blaming you! 
Just try to keep those liquids in, and keep taking that fever reducer! You'll get better ... soon I hope!!!
Hopefully you just have really sore muscles and didn't hurt your bones!

Hey my friend. I hope you are feeling better and that the flue is healing. Whoever this is that has you blocked, just know that it could have been for the reason that I did. I apologize that I had you blocked at one time. Now, I know you and I think the world of you. Your former name, which you thought of me when you changed HAHA, did offend me and some others. We aren't holier than thou, we just chose not to have to read the "f" and the "stars***" and have to think of the 4 letter word. I guess what my rambling is saying is that it could have been that, NOT YOU! You are the sweetest person and I have grown to love you just in the short time that I got to spend with you and your little one. We too often pass judgment w/o getting to know that person. So, I had to repent. I love ya my friend and I can't wait to see you again!! God bless and get well SOON!! TAKE CARE OF YOU and your little one!!!
