Personally, I prefer the old "if you have nothing nice to say . . ." adage to turning blogs into a bitchfest. I'm all for honesty and either objectivity or a clear declaration of a lack thereof - so I'd rather write about things I love, than spend energy dissing (yeah, I said dissing - not sure of the correct spelling though!) something that just didn't do it for me. (In fact, I think you just made me an MG Fan Girl!)

In fact, there's an expression to describe that: "suicide Tuesday". My guess is that that's a bigger issue in frequent and/or unsupervised usage (which most ecstasy use is) Ecstasy was actually initially developed to be used for therapy - the first uses were in couple's counseling. The nature of the drug made it possible for therapists to make breakthroughs in a single session that generally would take months to accomplish without it. Eventually the drug somehow made its way out of the laboratories and into the club scene and was reviewed by the DEA during the "Just Say No" Reagan years. Seems despite recommendations that the drug be classified as Schedule 2, it became Schedule 1 - meaning it has no medical value & is illegal to prescribe. Guess maybe that's been overturned, or the military has different rules? :-) Sun, 8 Mar 2009 08:56:23 +0000 http://sidenotes.fearlessblogger.com/post/84375418#IDComment16553467 http://sidenotes.fearlessblogger.com/post/74784660#IDComment15713976 My pleasure!

Thanks for returning the favor by visiting my corner of the blog-o-sphere! :-) I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts!

Figured since you had it on your website, you were cool with it being used - I love the amount of personality that shines through in it! (but will post a replacement if you prefer) Wed, 7 Jan 2009 03:23:32 +0000 http://fearlessblogger.com/2009/01/why-you-should-wish-tamar-a-happy-birthday/#IDComment13684218 http://fearlessblogger.com/2009/01/beaver-y-careful/#IDComment13655311 I think the bottom line is they are all intended to be lighthearted and humorous. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander - no? Thanks for weighing in!

Another great example! Thanks!

Let me know how it goes!!

I think the key is to remember it's about being heard, not being judged. I think that shifting the perception to "this shows I care about what the blogger said" from "does the blogger care about what I say" motivates me to comment more too.

I'm thinking of taking advantage of the "tweet" option when it's available on comments now. It becomes a way of sharing posts I feel are "comment worthy" with people on Twitter. What do you think?

Thanks for taking the time to comment too!

One thought - I see your website is on blogger. I'm not sure what blogger's various comment settings are, but I've found the process to feel a bit cumbersome at times. I've been working to streamline the commenting here (hopefully it's fairly easy) - might be something to check into on yours? Just a thought . . .

I tear up every time. My fella was shaking his head when I wrote this post - since I rewatched the video a few times in the process! Mon, 5 Jan 2009 09:08:29 +0000 http://fearlessblogger.com/2008/12/goodbye-2008/#IDComment13640360 http://fearlessblogger.com/2009/01/beaver-y-careful/#IDComment13640321 Thanks for weighing in on the motrin commercial. Sometimes I feel since I'm not a mother, I risk sounding naive or insensitive if I take a different point of view. I have a hard enough time taking care of myself, much less a child, so I completely respect everything mothers do. And I think the power "mommy-blogging" community is one of the benefits of the way the web has evolved. That said, I don't know that motherhood is so sacred as not to be able to have a sense of humor about it!

I love WordPress so much that if I weren't already in a relationship, I'd want to marry it! :-) Mon, 5 Jan 2009 08:49:24 +0000 http://parislemon.com/2009/01/on-wordpress-literally.html#IDComment13640169 http://fearlessblogger.com/2009/01/four-blog-ideas-worth-stealing/#IDComment13571887 Thanks, Devin! I noticed you changed your website to WordPress. Are you loving it? I love WordPress so much I want to marry it! Ok, maybe just live with it for a while first . . . don't want to rush into anything! (Don't tell your cousin!)
