terp--haha, at least you didn't say "crabs"--
that would have an entirely different connotation, lol.

In my wildest dreams, I never would have guessed I'd be fretting over a crab. I'm determined, I tell you!

Factor--lol. I was actually very careful in my wording of that!!
Terp, I don't know what to tell you. The crab works for me. Can you paste him into MS Word?

Hey, wait...did Julia say I gave her crabs?
I still think it's a cute crab anyway...

hmmm
I'm not so sure I decided anything. And I don't think the ex to be would admit to anything being his fault. But that is a whole other story.
Now for those who are paying attention. Notice when I'm Mike and when I'm Michael. I think I'm in more trouble but I don't know for what yet.

Well it finally comes out...
No Mike is not the ex to be. The ex to be wouldn't admit he was wrong about everything. Michael decided early on that the greatest balance of what we would do would end with him saying the phrase, "It's all my fault." Ah, the beauty of a lifelong friendship.
That being said, I'm glad he came clean because it would have cost me yet a few more hours having to explain to everyone how it was, indeed, Michael's fault.
Well, now that that's cleared up we can get to the bottom of this wild Elmo frenzy.

No Problem
It's been a joke between us for all 30+ years. I figured I would just be preemptive in taking the blame.

I was wondering if I'd crossed that boundary of anonymity, Mikea, but
I thought I should ask, as in maybe this is something I should avoid like the plague. Good to know.

what you all need to understand
Is by rule this is all my fault. Just ask Terpgirl, everything is my fault.

Okay, I'm a spaz. I cut and pasted the crab into a pictures folder on my hard drive. When I tried to copy it and put it in the copy, I couldn't get it. Is there a more direct way. I'm sorry. I'm crab challenged.

WTF!!!
I did not insult any of these people, and if you ask them, I'm sure they'll agree. I made a point to say it wasn't you because you seem like your nerves are standing on end. I figured you would think it was you. I hadn't even read the last post about you leaving until after I did mine. I had seen a few from others and thought it strange.
Then I checked back with you, and saw that you were ready to bolt again. I think your back is up against the wall in many ways, and this place is getting to you. And that's a shame. I didn't do anything mean, rude, etc.

Terpgirl...I DID read what you wrote...
But by singling me out and saying the post WASN'T for me, suddenly made it about me.

I also want to say that this post insults all of my friends
Who loved me enough to ask me to stay - Shelly, Offbeat, Nanaroo, Blanche, Bel....I have alot of wonderful friends around Blogit who love me and comparing them to Jerry Springer guests is quite insulting.

I wrote you a long, long, meaningful answer the first time. When I wrote this post, I said specifically it wasn't meant for you as I understood what you were going through. I have no idea where this is coming from. After you wrote that you were leaving, I started seeing a wave of it. It seemed silly. You DIDN'T read what I wrote.

Terpgirl, I'm sorry if I'm not leaving as quickly as you think I should-
The thing is that I have three (that's 3) years worth of blogs to cull through. I'm working in an insurance office in Dallas right now and only have a very limited amount of time for blogging.

This is going to sound funny, I guess, but I was just being a journalist on this one. Calling it like it is...and this is what it is, no doubt about it. I honestly wasn't feeling crabby at all on this one. But I'm from Maryland, so I love the crab thing...even though I'm allergic to them, and I would pretty much die if I touched one. Okay, now THAT would get me crabby. At least in the afterlife. I hate when that happens.

factorfiction gave him to me after another blogger
called me a whiney ass crab. <gasp!>. We had fun with him, he's not winking he's dancing! lol. I wrote a post the other day how we should just leave him for others when they are crabby. I thought you fit the bill with this post. Feel free to copy and paste him around...lol.

I thought you had gone on hiatus. You've been pretty quiet for you.
After all your pope stuff before, I thought I'd see something. This pope steps in it way more often. Maybe it's too easy.

I want to know where you got that crabby thing. I've seen you use all sorts of cool thingies in your posts. I can't tell if he's wanting to pinch me or just winking.

An aside
As I talked about in my "journal" ---nut job posts, I'm afraid, since I'm in the midst of a nasty divorce---I was just deposed and had to face the ex. I think all the "gotta leave blogit" comments sent me into personal flashbacks from the ex. Every other Friday, he would pack a hobo sack and scream, "I'm out of here, Missy!" Over and over and over. When he DID leave, he planned it very covertly and made no sounds. That's when it's real.

I started my Mark2556 final Farewell Tour 05® last year in response to all the I'm Leaving Blogit posts. My thoughts are, how much freaking attention do you need before you really, like, leave, as opposed to talking about it day after day after day?
It's a trick question, though; nobody who jabbers on and on about quiting ever does, so we don't know the answer.
