I have missed your meditations Kathryn. I love this one.

artykat April 18 2010, 22:37:24 UTC

You know, I have felt really bad about it as I know there are several of you that really love these meditations. I thought, since they do tend to repeat over time, that maybe I'd run the river dry for you all... but lately, I've been feeling that *nudge* to post them again. I'm so sorry that I've not been doing it!

*hugs*

Sounds like you are giving yourself an excuse to not work, to be the lazy fools you are. God helps those who help themselves, ring any bells?

teacher_bear April 20 2010, 23:25:48 UTC

I just wonder who you are, so courageous that you post as Anonymous. You obviously have no idea who 'we' really are or how hard 'we' work. And with the remote possibility that you might know us, why so cowardly as to not make yourself known? That is mental laziness, not being willing to enter into profitable discourse. But then, why should you? It is so much easier to just hurl hateful and negative comments without giving the other party any way to respond.

God helps those who help themselves

Often quoted but I wonder just where in the Bible you found it? Give a reference and then we might be willing to consider it and discuss it with you.
If you say who you are.

If you want anyone to take any notice of your opinions, then you should seriously consider what I have written and reveal yourself. Otherwise your comment just belongs in the trash can, which right now is the best and only place for it.

I post as anonymous because I do not have an account, nor any desire for one. I know enough about you to know that you are hardly "hard working" and I know that multiple times you and your wife have cried poor mouth in a pathetic attempt to get money from people. I know that there is an entire group of people who are disgusted with your inability to do anything to help yourselves. I know that your wife whined and cried about paying taxes on money the government gave you, even though you live off the government. Disability, medicaid (or medicare) and food stamps keep you alive, yet you complain about paying ANYTHING back. You and your wife are ridiculous human beings.

teacher_bear April 23 2010, 23:30:09 UTC

wow! I wonder where those food stamps are that you think we receive. And I am sure the IRS and State government appreciate the several thousands of dollars I pay in taxes each year.

You need to get a life and stop lurking on other peoples journals (which you obviously do not understand the purpose of) where you are mean and vindictive without cause. You think you know SO MUCH but what you write just displays your ignorance.

And you don't have to be spineless and anonymous. Even if you don't want your own account (strange you are interested in other people's though) you could just sign your name and give an email address.

To "Anonymous" - if you find the journal contents or the author so offensive, here's a suggestion. Just don't visit the journal. Go somewhere else. Surely you've got better things to do with your time (picking wings off insects, pushing past little old ladies...). This journal meets a need for many. If it doesn't do it for you, you don't have to read it and shouldn't read it.

anonymous April 24 2010, 16:45:48 UTC

Wow Quilterbear, how very christian of you to allow posts by people that wish death upon someone. That's not hypocritical at all. Maybe my comments irk you because you know deep down that they are true. I do know you IRL, you know darn well who I am, so please assure your piggy friend "Booster" that this has nothing to do with her.

To the rest of you, if you had any idea how NOT ill his wife is, you would be SUPER angry that you donated anything to these people. They are frauds, plain and simple.

I realize you will never unscreen this comment, and that's ok, you and I both know the truth about you, eventually everyone else will too.

artykat April 24 2010, 20:50:24 UTC

You are such a liar. You do NOT know me IRL, obviously. You might see me from a distance and THINK you know me, but you do not. I am even more seriously ill than I thought, having just been to a specialist's office.
Still begs the question why you won't put your name. Chicken?

You, anonymous, are mentally ill. Get help NOW!

mrs_ralph April 24 2010, 22:37:01 UTC

Do you even know anything about the system you are claiming these people are abusing? I doubt you do. Everyone thinks that claiming disability or getting welfare is a great deal, people claim and the money is just rolling into their bank accounts. The reality is a lot different ( ... )

frodo_esque April 25 2010, 05:07:08 UTC

Unfortunately, your credibility is shot to hell simply because you've chosen to cowardly post as anonymous. And please, refrain from telling us that you're "too busy" to sign up for an account-- clearly, you have plenty of time on your hands to follow and post on QT's journal. You choose to post anonymously because you don't speak the truth.

I have known Kathryn as my friend since 1983. We worked side by side in a very challenging job for several years and even then, she had serious health issues and concerns that would have put most people down, but she kept going. I don't comment much here, because we e-mail instead but since most, if not all of you are on-line friends of my friend, and don't know her "in person," I want you to hear this from someone who does & has for a long time....from someone who's laughed and cried and shared a cup of tea with her...from someone who flew to Texas to be with her for the thirty days of Noah. We don't live close by anymore, but I know. Things like this don't go away. They get worse, I'm so sorry to say. I wish she WAS lying about it! For anyone to question the legitimacy of her health concerns, however is extremely mean-spirited and beyond ludicrous. I cannot imagine why anyone would feel compelled to do such a thing. It's not a matter of opinion. It's a very unfortunate fact.
