I guess needs are needs and the fact that others are worse off is not much consolation when we are in bad straits... Things can always be worse but hey... when they are bad for us we should be entitled to verbalize it... xoxoxo

You say it well. We still have our problems while others have them too. I am glad to see your return after a break.
BTW, I did do a sequel post to my one about why bloggers leaving. The topic was as you suggested about why bloggers stay. It's in Anything in Everything.
