TMI and other misconceptions of reasoning for mine and other bloggers...

Being of a certain age and disabled it is quite cathartic to express what being able to discuss what most people will cut you off from saying when talking to them in person.

I have found in all my years that people in general, are of the ilk of only wanting to hear good news…
While reality is a denial for most, I on the other hand do believe it is necessary to share my personal feelings with others who may not have the courage or ability to do so and so using this forum has been beneficial not only to me but to others as well... How do I know this? Well, I do hear back from people and that feedback is most helpful for me to continue on.

Sadly, my friendship base in the real world has diminished with the shock of my new appearance. I believe, since I am not only fatter, actually obese, more weight on me than I have ever been and that I am also usually, on my mobility scooter or using my walker… Once, not that long ago, I was doing pretty good at a mere one hundred and three pounds and going to the gym five days a week for an hour and a half each day…but sadly my life has changed dramatically in the last seven years.
No longer can I be the helper in many ways, I am the one now needing the help. I no longer drive or have the ability to carry things for others who cannot.
But alas my brain works, sort of… and I can write, sort of… and think well, sort of… but talk, thankfully, I write the same as I talk, DEFINITELY!
Seeing is iffy and walking is nearly nil, but those above assets are all I got and so why not utilize what you do have?
And the fact that some don’t like it; I say TOO BAD!
The local news program of NBC in Fort Myers just did a story on telling too much, or TMI, on the Internet, causing problems for you. I do hope they were referring to teens and children who do not realize that what they share can have negative ramifications, like certain pictures, personal phone numbers and addresses etc. and such… not from adults who want to help make others realize that they are not alone!

Yes, I do believe that employers may look at those pictures if they Google you, and so never ever put anything you wouldn’t want them to see; just common sense. Having it seems to be elusive for some these days…

Personal photos rated ‘G’ or ‘PG’ is always welcomed, others are not appreciated, and will come back to bite you where the sun don’t shine.

Euphemisms are okay too!
Be cautious and critique all that you choose.
Beating around the bush is sometimes as well as it should get in the specificity realm of discussing things.
Not being dishonest is a fine line, but I do believe we all can do it, by censoring ourselves…not too much… why the newsies never do!
They have to tell it as it is, even if they are blushing inside, hmm?
Hypocrites or just believing their venue is the only legitimate arena for telling it as it is?
While you chew on that for a while, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
