Can I Be "Snarky" for a Moment??? :)

No, she's not preggers, LOL!  And yes, you're right, I would feel bad if there was some underlying medical condition.    I promise, I won't joke about this any more.  I'm sorry.

Hey everyone - as a full-fledged Gemini, I think it's entirely possible to hold two ostensibly conflicting views on something at the same time. No one can tell me that each and every one of you haven't had negative thoughts about others that they weren't proud of. Corrie's mistake may have been more in the sharing than in having the internal feelings she was voicing.

It's my belief that no matter what a person looks like, or the life they might appear to have, that part of the human condition is to struggle and suffer tremendously. It may or may not show on the outside to others. It may be physical, or it may be emotional, or in other ways. So compassion for all is truly warranted.

At the same time, we all probably have moments of being slighted and feeling misunderstood. I also think it is natural for a person to really wish the person they're perceiving to be acting negatively towards them, to understand the hurt they are inflicting. Thus the wish that the hurtful person in question would experience what the hurt person has experienced.

I'd like to think that Corrie took the opportunity to vent here precisely because she felt this was a safe venue, and afforded her a chance to rid herself of the emotions she knew and acknowledged ("I know this isn't very nice") were not comfortable or constructive for her to hold on to.

Everyone knows this journey is a rollercoaster. The "down" part of the coaster can look different to a lot of people, and come at different times in the process.

I think Corrie deserves a break. She's not a mean person just because she experienced some unkind emotions. My 2 cents.

Thank you, K... that was really well said and means a lot to me.  I really appreciate your 2 cents... you seem like a really kind person.  And I will try to be kinder with my thoughts in the future as well.  

Oh, I am so glad I don't work in an office full of people like you any more. I can't stand people that take pleasure in tearing down others. Ugh.

BRAVO! !! Very eloquently stated! 

i like your post, we ALL are human, and for alot of us what other people think of us really DOES matter, weather we admit it or not. its cool that we have these forums to unleash our feelings because WE are ALL in this TOGETHER.

Thank you, alieskia!  I couldn't agree more!  

I'd like to thank all the posters here who have either accepted my apology or took my post in the humorous vein it was intended to be, and I'd like to especially thank all the wonderful people who PM'd me with kind words, understanding and encouragement.  

And I'd like to apologize one last time to those who were offended by my remarks and hope you know I will be much more careful in the future about any disparaging or inappropriate comments and restrict my posts to those of a more suitable and supportive nature.

And I want to say that the information, support and knowledge I have gained here over the last year FAR outweighs any of the negative reactions I received after posting my childish rant, and I hope I can continue to be a productive and constructive member here.  

Thanks for listening.  

Wow. You are not a good person. This is very sad. 

It really sounds like you are jealous of her.
