A small off-topic rant. Feel free to bypass.
I hope I never get famous enough that hundreds of people a day whine on my blog that out of the thousands of messages I get an hour, I didn’t answer theirs. Then there are the people who whine that she won’t send them her money. Rosie must have the patience of a saint. I want to just block those people for life or smack them or something. I suppose this is why she has fans and I don’t but, damn, some of her fans are so darn emotionally needy. I think anyone who reads her blog even occasionally hears me on this, unless you are one of those people who are emotionally needy and then I cannot help you.
The woman gets thousands of messages a day. She has a life, a job and 4 kids for God’s sake! Most people with 1 kid don’t even have time to answer email! She is not going to read all the messages that she gets ever. She just picks a few random ones. If she answers you, yay, but if not, holy God, it’s nothing personal you nuts. Jeez!
I come to Rosie’s blog for the pictures of babies, small children, squirrels, dolphins, and crafts not your whining. You are killing the cute!
I know that just made me seem imbalanced but I enjoy reading almost all
of Rosie’s blog and I love the fact that she has that direct channel to
the fans and haters both on her site, but those people kill me. I
cannot tell if they bother me on her behalf or if they bother me
because I am afraid if I become famous it will happen to me. Either
way, argh!
