Check With Your Doctor Before Blogging

Posted on Sunday 9 July 2006

I have learned the hard way that there are times NOT to blog, (or comment,) as I usually regret it. Profoundly.

During THAT time of the month
:

I get very snippy, grumpy and oversensitive. Nuff said.

Before my morning coffee:

I tend to misspell and leave out words, thus sounding like a complete freaking moron.

When I have been drinking:

Those are the posts that get deleted first thing in the morning. WAY too much “truth” or snarkiness. NOT a good thing.

When I read a post and wonder “what in Sam Hill were they THINKING writing that?”

Better to walk away and keep my mouth shut, or think my comment over VERY carefully.

When I am thoroughly pissed off at someone:

Once again, step away from the computer. NOW.

If only I would learn to take my own damn advice…

    Except for that time of the month. I have been guilty of all of those blogging mistakes.

    Can you post a note on your blog when it’s that time of the month, so we can be very very quiet.

    We have all been there. Except the guys, since they can’t do “That time of the month” posting…

    I know plenty of guys who act like they have “That” time of the month ;-)

    We all know when that time of the month is. That’s the time we go see our mistresses, right?

    LB did you see my PMS post? I blogged to release my inner demon. I think that all of your posts have been eloquent and classy and I have enjoyed them all.

    Ditto to all, including the statement that you know men who have “that” time of the month!

    That adds up to a lot of bad on your part. However, I have never seen that; you are much too good.

    I have learned most of those lessons already, too! (’cept the one about “that time”) Good, good advice to all, Lisa. See, we can all learn from each other! I love the internet.

    Very good advise. Especially the one about commenting before the morning caffeine fix! Although I am such a lousy speller that I’ve taken to spell checking my comments in Word sometimes if I’m not sure of what I’m saying. How weird is that?

    You must be pretty good at hitting ‘delete’ because I’ve never seen that side of you. However, I completely know what you are talking about. I’ve posted when I was in a less than ideal mood and regretted it later – thank goodness for delete.

    I rarely drink, that time of the month doesn’t apply…and I still manage to post some very regrettable stuff more often than not.

    Ha. I don’ t think I’ve learned any of those lessons yet. Especially the That timeof month one.

    Fuzz – Glad it’s not just me!

    Marty – What can I say? Um NO ;-)

    Julie – That makes me feel better!

    Andy – You looking to get punched in the nose? ;-)

    Leave – I don’t remember, I THINK so. And thanks Hon, mwah!

    Oob – I KNEW you would get it!

    Hoss – Thanks Dear. And IF ONLY ;-)

    Nat – Group hug and a rousing rendition of “Kumbaya!”

    Last Girl – Thanks Hon. AndI think a lot of people do that, (and a lot more SHOULD!)

    Schnoodlepooh – Yup, I’m quick on the Delete button!

    Mike – ROFLMAO! You are so funny ;-)

    D-Man – Do I need a blackboard and a ruler? LOL.

    I have to admit… “that time of month” is so more pleasant without my 2 ex-wives. :)

    I like the edge my entries have during “that time of the month.” I tend to pick on the Canadians and work in anti-men comments.

    lol – I TOTALLY agree!

    also if it has to do with religion or politics? NO COMMENT!

    You mean THAT time each month, when there’s no way to avoid deep cleaning the kitchen floor? Ohhhh yeah. I get grouchy. And my husband hides out until it’s over.

    Very sound advice. I just never know when it’s that time of the month.

    Good advice, Lisa… I unfortunately don’t think it within my capability to follow it. MY road to hell is paved about three times over.

    July 10, 2006 | 1:16 pm
     

    I should NEVAH post during my time of the month! ;)
    Excellent advice, but do many of us follow it?

    Good advice!

    Just admit that you are pissed off at me… and really drunk. :P

    I usually like to blog while having PMS, in the mornings, when I’m drunk, before my coffee, and while pissed of at many people. Is that wrong? :)

    Being pissed off at someone often leads to a very entertaining blog entry, no?

    Damn, did I miss it? Those are the BEST posts!

    I used to have a man whose response to serious conversations about how horrible I felt our relationship was going with, “Your time of the month starts tomorrow or the next day, doesn’t it?”

    I hope he finds a new excuse. His next girlfriend just might hurt him.

    See, what’s great is that Alaska is four hours behind you… so your drunk posts that are deleted first thing in the morning are still being read in the late evening before they’re deleted… if that makes sense… I need to stop drinking wine…

    Denny – *rolls eyes* ;-)

    Leesa – LMAO!

    Dawn – I try and avoid politics and religion like the plague! Occasionally I get reeled in but not very often.

    Annie – Yup, that floor thing gets me too ;-)

    Bud – LOL! Maybe your wife does? ;-)

    Cootera – I think we must use the same paver!

    Lois Lane – I’ll never tell! :-)

    Mappy B. – Not so much hehe. Too funny!

    Thinking Fool – Yes but a dangerous one as well. I’m not big on burning bridges I’m still standing on ;-)

    Annie – Sorry Toots ;-)

    Serra – Here’s hoping she does!

    Philip – Welcome! And so noted, I will try and hop on the delete button faster ;-)
