I Thank God for My Family...and Feel Sorry for Those Who Lurk and Try to Create Trouble.
Events of late regarding the my friendship with Frieda Hudson have allowed me to take pause and I want to say just how much I love and respect my family and the love and "good raising" I was given. I know how much my family loves Frieda. Every Friday, when they were in Washington, they'd call to see if Frieda and I could have lunch. About half the way here, they'd call again asking, "IS FRIEDA COMING?" There were many hours spent together and Frieda was truly a part of our family as well. I know my parents miss seeing her, they miss her laugh, her insight, her respect for THEM.
I noticed a comment on Tony's blog where an individual asked Tony if he knew who one particular poster was. He also mentioned my name. This man was never involved in our fun, our events, etc. so he wouldn't know 'the family tree' so to speak. Odd. Is my family also banned from posting on Tony's blog? Is this person trying to be Tony Tharp's "post monitor" and make sure Tony knows WHO is posting? My relative thought this place was a nice, friendly place, but, watching many events of those who present themselves one way and "live" another has jaded that opinion. He probably won't remain here. He's too honest for all that. This whole thing is TOO weird. People that have yet to VISIT Frieda suddenly come out of the wood work with "counsel" legal and otherwise and then ask Tony if he knows who the folks who post are. That is just strange. Fact is, what does THAT have to do with Frieda Hudson's recovery? Sounds like a personal attack on others in a different matter to me. I love it when people think they are SO smart! Sadly, again, this poster didn't have ONE ENCOURAGING WORD to say about FRIEDA. He couldn't tell you ONE THING that Frieda enjoyed, but wants to say that the posts didn't look good based on Pamlico Ink telling "THE NEWS?" They looked VERY supportive to me. And he was only checking to see what 'the locals' were saying? Give me a break! People are not dumb. The only negative posts came from, sadly, Frieda's own family and a friend or two of Frieda's daughter. I know I've been good to each and every one of them in so many ways. It was MY choice to do so and my choice to keep my promise that I would never abandon Frieda Hudson in her time of need. I have not broken that promise, but have been forced to delay it for a while. So the "post monitor" kind of blew it there too. I guess if he had been around, he would have known that I spent a lot of time with Frieda's family...A LOT. I gave resources, items, money, and other things that they seem to have "forgotten"...this good family.
In my opinion, seems as though this person was inviting Tony Tharp of Pamlico Ink to inquire "who" posts on his blog.
That gentleman shouldn't hide in the ways he does and present himself one way while pointing the finger at others and isn't willing to come clean about his own life.Style is everything, you know? If you are trying to shed light on others, isn't shedding a little light in your own closet a good place to start?
Tell you what, Mr. Poster. Since you know who Tony's posters are...and you infer that Tony does too...Why don't you tell the community who YOU REALLY ARE? Now that would get some bloggers going, wouldn't it? Don't push your luck. I have learned that apparently just a few of us were the only ones in this county who didn't know who YOU really are. But I do now. Boy, do I. You say you "know" Tony's posters...you don't. For the record, he is a good man and raised the same way as me. As a family, we all turned out well. He now has a whole different opinion of Oriental and Pamlico County, however, since moving here last fall. He is repulsed at the enjoyment people get in nosing into the business of other people and how, hmmm...let's see how to put it....how self-serving folks can be and, in this case, a man will point the finger but will NOT come clean publicly on WHO he really is. There are some good people in this county, but there is more EVIL than I would have ever believed. Frieda told me that, sadly, too late. I was already up to my neck in evil. That is why we stayed together all the time...we could have NORMAL fun and ignore those who are miserable.
My family is such a blessing. I am so very thankful that they taught me to stand tall and the very ones trying to knock you down are the very ones who have, let's say "something to hide." Are you hiding anything Mr. "I know who the poster is?" Anne Haley and Tony Tharp have told the truth. Have YOU let us know who YOU really are, Mr. Post Monitor? I've invited you to tell us all several times in this post.
I know for a fact what you are and I remain quiet.
Washington is a nice place. We spent a lot of time together with Frieda in my parent's home. She is SO very missed in our family gatherings. We laugh, we talk and have a great time. No bickering, factions, fighting, etc. I know why she wanted to be with us. And that will happen again one day too. Frieda LOVED our times together.
Since the person who knows "so much about the people who post on Tony's blog," I'll let you know that I know you read MINE too, by the way. Just know I know that. One thing my mom did teach me was to "mind my own business." I suggest you do the same Mr. Post Monitor, unless that is, you are trying to live a better, more honest, joyful life. I know my daughter's clothes have never been on any curb. Families are to be enjoyed, not tossed out.
I hope you are enjoying both the Pamlico Ink blog, as well as mine. I have offered many suggestions that would help others lead a better life..and an OPEN, honest one. Hopefully you can release yourself and do that one day. It must be painful not feeling that you can live your own life without ramifications. Frieda Hudson is a true and honest person. Duplicitous behaviors must get tiresome after a while, do they not? As for me and my house, we are good people, we harm no one and we mind our own business. I am so thankful for how I was raised.
For all of you other faithful readers who do appreciate the time I take to share with you, THANK YOU for all your emails and for letting me know just how my posts have helped you in some small way. That means so much to me. You are reading to learn, not to get names and use my blog to try to harm others. That's a "No-No." Comments are always welcome, if they are pertinent to the topic and not meant as a means of attack on me, my family or friends. I will simply reject those and hope that you will find a more productive way to spend your time.
Like Tony Tharp said once in his Pamlico Ink blog, if you're going to get your knives out, make 'em nice and sharp now. I'm no dummy. Make no mistake in that.
As an aside, I noticed there were a lot of folks, the "post monitor" being one of them, at the "hearing"...that I have NEVER seen visiting Frieda, weren't a part of her day to day life and I expect came there for to giggle, to be nosey and be a part of what was a spectacle. How very, very immature and disrespectful toward Frieda Hudson. So, shame on you Mr. Post Monitor and shame on the hairdresser who spent her time cursing me with such a vile tongue. Was that "for Frieda?" I even tried to introduce myself to her and she cursed me again. No wonder I was told by Frieda to steer clear of her too. I know who she is now. Are THOSE the types of people Frieda's family wishes to gain support from? If so, that's really sad. You're both always welcome to read my blog, but contacting those who are a part of my life that I might elect to discuss here is also a "NO NO." Please refrain from doing that. I write what I want to write...not to give shameful people a place to find out names and call them to say what a terrible person I am. Those of you bad mouthing me have NO idea what I have given to THIS county and in fact ORIENTAL in terms of my time, resources and money. What have you done from the heart lately, with NO EXPECTATION?
Like Tony said and it makes me smile..."nice and sharp now." Get those knives nice and sharp if you think you're out thinking me.
