Re: BK - Who Knew?
As some of you have concluded a friend of mine did come on here and post something. Now how this came about it interesting and I will get to that but I have to admit when she first did it, I rolled my eyes a bit and said 'you shouldn't have done that'.. to which she replied 'how could I not, no body trashes my friend and gets nothing from me' … Now I am paraphrasing a bit as it has been a bit of time.
Still apprehensive, it struck me later on as I watched a movie that she was my friend. She did not care about what anyone around here thought, she saw some characterizations that were completely off and she felt that I was wronged. So she did something. Nothing that would change the course of history but something that is right. No one had to agree with me, but I think it would have been nice if someone told others that I am not an a-type stereotypical New Yorker who is a hermaphrodite. Of course I am taking that out of context to get a point across. It made me realize that I cared more than I should about things on this board. It also made me realize how blessed I am, that in my real life I have such good people around and how dear they are.
So, this brings us to the point of why I was even discussing what had transpired with a friend who has nothing to do with anything that has ever happened on this board. It is simple, it is because I am an intelligent human being and I use everything as a moment to learn something new, to grow through a process and continue to strive to be a better person. I take what I write and say to others very seriously. My words are mine and that entails my thoughts, character and moral fiber. The conclusion is that this board does not make me a better person. While I might enjoy the banter and candor of a few, there is nothing this board has done to make my world a better place. Really if anything I think it has been the exact opposite. And judging by how many of you behave, say and what you do, you too are in this same spot.
See, I will walk away with this knowing a few things- I never wrote anything on here that was not truly me- so sorry I am not playing the role of someone or a person from long ago. I am truly a female from NYC who loves NASCAR, and hates drama that is not in a race. So I know I have been honest the whole time, while I have heard many accounts of people come on here playing the female who is a male or stories like that. I am just sad that I became so skeptical of something on a computer screen that I too was sucked into a bit of drama. I will call the pathetic card on myself, but it ends here. I choose better, to be a better person, to keep questioning myself, to be introspective to make myself a better woman, mother, friend and citizen of this world.
Am I being judgmental about some of you, yes, but just as I am about myself. See, unlike many I talk the talk and walk the walk. I expect nothing less of myself then I do of others. And some I will imagine will rush to say that I am just a self-righteous blow hard. But I can truly say and believe that I am not, I am just choosing to grow and move on the path to something more positive and dignified.
For some, and I hope you know who you are, I wish you nothing but the best. May your journey be fruitful and pleasurable. For others, I hope you come to the place where you realize that life, a real one is around you, not on a screen in front of you.
And please do not waste your time typing a rebuttal, or another condescending rant- I will never see it, so I imagine that will not being any pleasure.
Ah, I did want to clear up one thing, the reason why I left SC. I did enjoy my 1+ year living down there and would have continued as it was a lovely pace of life and a beautiful state. It was because I became pregnant and was concerned about the education in the state. At that time it was ranked 48th and was far below minimum standards. Even the privates I looked at with the intention of staying down there were not up to par. It was not going to offer my unborn child the academic education that I wanted. At this point it is ranking either 44 or 42 depending upon the list you look up and still considered far below minimum standards for elementary education. So, I made the right choice, gave up a bit of a slower pace for a higher quality of education and hopefully a gift that will last my child a lifetime. Again, a personal choice that worked for me and my family.

Blaming a friend?, 
is that like telling the teacher that,"the dog ate my homework" ?...BTW,..I ONLY typed this because you said not to. I may have been born in the daytime BUT, it wasn't yesterday. If you expect ME,.....OR.....,for that matter any other intelligent member here to even CONSIDER believing this, you should consider a new career in Stock Futures because, BABY, with skills like that, you could sell Whole hogs in Tel Aviv during Lent. You come here rippin' into people with the venom of a #### off rattle snake, and then, do a 180* when an Inland Taipan shows up. It'll be okay, I promise. Just continue to take your medication as prescribed.
