myspace "friends"

My kids all have a myspace nic/name, so I also created one a long time ago. I hardly ever go on the thing, and when I do, it's just to see what the kids are up to. Well, a friend I haven't spoken to in about five yrs "found" me. There was a reason I no longer speak to her, and really have no desire to recreate our "friendship" She is the type that always has to "one up" everyone. I decided long ago, I didn't need that type of friend when she critisized my parenting skills and decided my children's sperm donor who hadn't seen my kids in ten yrs at that point, was a better parent.
Anyhow, I signed on to myspace just a little bit ago because my daughter wanted me to read something she did. I saw I had an email/friend request from this woman. In the email she says "Holy chit is that REALLY the FAT Loretta I knew five yrs ago, you look great, how did you do it? You had to have cheated and had surgery!"
OK, so instead of replying what I really wanted to say to her, I just deleted the email and denied her request to be "friends" again. Three yrs ago, I would have been furious and those words would have been fighting words. Today, I just laugh at those who are uneducated and have no clue what life is really about!
Also, for those who want to see an updated picture of my granddaughter, I uploaded a few tonight. I thought I changed my avatar, but apparently I didn't do something right. :(

Good for you Loretta!!  You don't need friends like her! 

I am going to look at the new pics now....your new avitar is great!!!

Congrats on your up coming surgiversary too!!

good for you
she will spend hours trying to figure out why
you did not add her
much better revenge than fighting with her

I agree. You did the right and the mature thing. You don't need that kind of "friend" in your life to add aggravation. Some people definately don't get it, and no matter how much you might try to explain it just ain't gonna sink in. I am glad that you aren't letting it get you down. My doctor and I just had a conversation about how so many people think that surgery is the "easy" way out, if they only knew how hard this whole process is. Here's to you for being the more mature person. Congratulations on your little victory.

Good for you Loretta!  You definitely took the high road and I admire that very much!!  Your new avatar is great and your granddaughter is adorable!!!

Yes, you did it right.  Sometimes you need to delete cookies....and "easy" way to do this is to hold down I believe the shift button on your keyboard and then at the same time, while continuing to hold the shift....click on the refresh button up on your toolbar.  If that doesn't work, try it with the Ctrl button on your keyboard, same thing.  I forget which one it is...and I don't want to do it right now cause I'll lose this post.

anyway...you look great...your granddaughter is adorable....

Congratulations on how you handled the situation.  You had reasons not to speak to her in general....and after that comment....well frack her.

Hiya hun,

I am not one for fights but I do give respect to everyone I meet and expect the same respect in return.  Once someone crosses that line with me I'm done.  I've found that ignoring a person is the easiest and best way to do it.  Most people can not stand to be ignored.  Especially big ego's like your ex-friend.

That is one friend you dont need.  Besides.... you have us
