I am going to shamelessly steal that line, it's great! Wendi, I am glad that your daughter changed her friends. Sometimes young people are not able to see that truth. Your daughter sounds like one smart cookie (like her Mom!). Friar, ROFL! I am going to pass on those "tasty" flavors! Sadly, I think there are some who are mixing their drinks! I don't know if it's smart to mix drinks, does it make you sick, do you get drunk faster? I dunno but it just doesn't sound like any good can come from it! Rebecca, exactly! Give me a problem and gosh darnit I will search for that rainbow if it kills me! LOL! Janice, what a good point. It is a bit like yoga, you breathe in energy and breathe out toxins. Out with the toxins! I love the image of a toddler throwing a fit! LOL! The next time I encounter a meanie I am going to imagine them in diapers and raucous laughter will ensue. Evelyn, I am glad you missed it! I don't like seeing good people get attacked. Thankfully there are so many other great things that fill our days and minds. :-) Roland, LOL! I could use those Ukranian consultants for a few other things. LOL! You have been missed, welcome back! Hey Dancing Queen Melissa! :-) I usually steer clear too but mess with my friends and I am going to speak up (with a smile of course)! Now, let's fly above this shall we, we have some roofs to dance upon. ;-) Robert, LOL! I am going to shamelessly steal that line, it’s great!

I thought it would be the other way, everyone popping the champaign annd dancing happily that I'm gone. I hate these things, because there are people who does not know the "criticized' ones personally, and are prone to believe it. And the phone call is especially painful, I don't mind an e-mail - ok, I do, but that's just some reading time -, but calling at home crosses the line. I know some ukranian consultants if you need them Karen ;) Jeez, I pull out my feet to live some offlife and people go crazy.

It sure sounds awful and I'm shocked! My sympathies also go to you on the horrible phone call that you received. Please don't believe what this person say!! I read your blog posts and I think you write well! You are right to say that there is no point expending your time and energy on negative feedback. For one, I just delete any complaints made to me, zap it out of my memory and move on. I'd rather focus my brain bytes on more important stuff.

Usually that kind of thing is so much more about them than you. I tend to look at them as a toddler throwing an annoying fit. Clearly, constructive criticism is helpful . If something is broken , we want to fix it, but complaints and biased or unfounded attacks by that brave soul Anonymous...should go right where they belong.... out, with the next breath.

When someone starts to climb out of their *station* whatever it may be, it causes change and discomfort. Some people just can't handle that.. If you get more successful then they are, that is enough for them to feel the need to critisize. Also if you fall to far below the mark, you will hear about that too.. Any moving target gets the arrow. I remember when my oldest daughter was in school and had a rather large group of friends. They all got basically the same kind of grades. One year she decided to apply herself and her grades started to drasically pull ahead. Suddenly they were critical of every little thing she did. Pick, pick, pick. She had to go find new friends. Unfortunetly, its one of the sad reasons we start to learn to fear change, the uncomfortable consequence of social critique that comes along with it. Karen,
