I am interupting your regularly scheduled postings to ask you this...
Is it just me or is J land in some kind of funk?? Come on people..let's open the windows and let some fresh air in here..let's lighten up..put on some good music ..open a bottle of bubbly and let our hair down....who cares what other people are doing? that someone smokes? that someone doesn't have the same religious views as you?? the world would be a very boring place if we all agreed with each other now wouldn't it???
I try so hard to keep a positive attitude and keep things light and bubbly but just lately almost every journal I read has had someone attack them..or their feelings are hurt or rumours spread about them..if someone bothers you...simply block them....I have..it works... ;-) Don't make comments in public journals if you don't want others to hear about them...public means exactly that....
I don't know about all of you but I think there is enough crap in the real world without coming here and getting throughly depressed...and before everyone starts slamming me I do not mean that you should not write about what is bothering you..it's your journal you can write about whatever you want all I am trying to say is it feels like J Land is in a funk and I was just wondering if I am the only one who feels that way???
and now...back to your regularly scheduled postings already in progress..... ;-)

:-) I must not be reading the right journals! I hope that I haven't contributed to this mood with my post this morning. I usually try to be very upbeat, but my daughter was just laying heavy on my heart this morning. I'll do better tommorrow, I promise! :-)
love,

Here! Here! :)
aaaahhh yes I agree... and I am guilty of a recent post with a tad bit of drama...
yet the constant attacks sometime get me a little annoyed and I have to let it out someplace..... GRRRRRRRR sorry
hugs

I agree everyone should repost this entry!!
Big Hugs!!!

I agree. Luckily I have steered clear of all the drama!
Have a good one!

I agree with you...I also want to add that if you HAVE a public journal and you ask for advice, you are going to get it....and some of the advice you may not agree with...or like. But if you don't want it.....don't ask!! I've been accused of being "not supportive" because I didn't agree with someone. She asked....I told her. Maybe people should say "please only leave comments if you agree with me."
I know that I am in a funk...but I have been running a Marching Band Camp all week and I am wiped out. I plan to spend all weekend in my pj's and I should be back to my normal, peppy self by Monday! (lol)
((hugs))

There, put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!! Couldn't agree with you more. My windows are open (ok not really - that fresh air is coming from my air conditioner), My hair is down (and not brushed) and I am ready to enjoy my day! Hope your "Today" is a happy one! Take care and have fun!

Amen sister friend. O.K. light and bubbly. This morning after hubby got dressed I walked up to him and lifed his shirt up. Then I walked around him looking at his body. He finally said " what are you doing?" I answered " look at the meat that I shall eat later on tonight" Hubby called me a pig and went to work! LOL

As you know I chose to take a hiatus for a while from J-Land due to the very things you reference. I decided though NOT to let it get me down. I merely turned off new entry alerts for those that annoyed me and now most of the ones I do read usually bring a smile to my face and those that don't, oh well, I simply ignore them and go on my merry way. A happy Friday to you Lyn and have a wonderful weekend.

I'm not having any problems over my way...'Good Morning Sunshine 'has no gripes or complaints. Just thankful for another day and all is right with my part of the world. 'On Ya' - ma
Yeah, that is great advice! Unfortunately for me, it wasn't that easy. These people kept making up temp. screen names to comment with or would follow me to other journals that I would comment in then atack my comments in that journal! The level of abuse I was taking wasn't right, and I just didn't see a need to put up with it anymore. I was starting to get nervous to post just thinking about what new ways they would find to corrupt my journal... and the slander and lies and insults to me and my faith were more then I was willing to let happen anymore.
So now I have the best of both worlds! I get to come and visit you and still have a public journal and be free of my stalkers!!! I'm sorry if it brought you down... I was trying to avoid involving other people in my drama...
I love you dearly and thank you for being you!
God Bless You!!!!

Hey Girl....I have been lucky I guess...with the jlanders I read...most are so positive, upbeat, enjoyable....including yours LOL...and I agree wholeheartedly....let's build up...not knock down...uphold each other with encouragement....there is enough mess on the front pages of all newspapers to keep us all in a funk....lets do better here in jland....and if you cannot take the heat...stay on the porch...in otherwords....be kind...we are all different....in so many ways....if I don't agree with you I might tell ya...but most times I just go on...knowing in my heart and mind...I am what I am...and you are what you are...let's enjoy each other and be glad for the differences...makes the world a much happer and funner (is that a word?) place....just imagine if we were ALL the same...yukky.....double yukky!!!!! Hugs from KY....Ora
I agree!!! So far I haven had any trolls......thank goodness!!
Have a great day.
Hugs

I don't think we are in a funk as a whole. I think AOL Journals is like a great big medical practice I ran: There's the whining, the inclination to nervous laughter, the having angst over her Dad's care girl(hmm. that would be me!),the acquisitive lust, the self aggrandizing, the LOOK AT ME I'M CRYING FOR THE 18TH TIME TODAY~ but in this forum we can just take them off alerts ;-). ~ Mary
I used to get aggravated by my trolls. In the end what it comes down to is, they are just that trolls. They lack the conviction to back their own words up by sending emails versus leaving a comment. Leaving a comment would allow the rest of us to see who was really being pointless. In this world, let alone j-land we can't please everyone. Nor can we expect everyone to agree with our points of view. I rather like having people tell me what they truly think, instead of just being agree-able all the time. Life is diverse you are so right about that. I would like to think we are all adults here. But as in the real world you will have your naysayers. (Hugs) Indigo
Just this once I do agree with you I like your entry today. Liz madison72572007
Hi !!!!! I did have some sad news to report in my journal due to the fact that as a juror today I had to let two guilty individuals go due to the fact that I didn't have the evidence I needed to prove the fact that they were guilty. I felt bad about the whole situation and how I had to make my verdict in court. I'm still upset about what happened but it was out of my hands because the evidence wasn't there. Its hard being a juror. I will get back to my regularly scheduled programming later. I do agree with you. Today was a hard day for me.
Yay! So true! We all 'tell it like it is' in our journals BUT then we move on! There are a few journals I no longer read because they were just sooooo damn depressing ALL THE TIME! In J-land we have a choice - THE BIG RED X IN THE CORNER!
So.... what I am really trying to say is.... Don't Worry...Be Happy!...hmmm I seem to have seen that somewhere before????
Love n Hugs

I here ya doll! There are a couple of J's I just think WTF? And ain't commented on.
On the whole, everyone os cool............ Miss Lyn is the best of course. lolololol Miss Lyn sounds like some corporate punishment!
Gaz xx
thank GOD i am not involved in any latest flare up...we have some in J Land who have nothing better to do than cause havoc....there are some real crazies out there who can pretty themselves up with big words and nice graphics...well, they are still insane. I have wonderful news today, as you read, so i am in no funk......i love you always and forever,lj
Lyn, good entry, Hugs Lisa
see, now, if you are like me, no one reads your journal, so no nasty comments. I'm just happy go lucky! It's good to be carefree!! La-la-la-la....
Stephanie (who just went around the bend)
wow I guess I have missed those journal entries and I hope to keep it that way.
Im with you.
Don't tell me i'm out of the loop ? DAMN IT ! I hate when the drama doesnt include me!!
I'm clueless, so if you feel like emailing me and filling me in, please do!
Love ya

I totally agree about being positive. It is easy to fall into a funk and want to turn negative. Some people just love to be negative. I do my best to be positive because I think if I am others will be as well and it is a lot more enjoyable when everyone is happy opposed to being unhappy.
Allison
I guess my rant vent entry came at a bad time along with a lot of others....
and yes, I totally agree, it sure has seemed particularly moody lately in J Land. I guess that's the down side to journaling at times. We writers can be so melodramatic at times and all at once together, seems like an overdose.... time for you to throw a cyber party for us!!!
Hugs,
Lisa
PS with my journal being private I'm laughing because everyone is saying they don't know what it's about.... yay!! : )
I don't give any trolls the time of day.... I just block 'em!! I try to stay positive... today I posted a negative entry.... but I don't do that often. And I needed opinions... so it's ok... justified, even... right?? LOL!!!

Great entry! I've managed to be drama free in J-Land in almost 3 yrs. I've been here. Don't know and don't wanna know about any cyber drama going on. I know alot of people are going thru hard times right now with illnesses, etc. I try to keep my entries upbeat.
Hugs,

Good Morning Lyn,
Thanks for your visit. I'm sorry to learn about your husband's health crisis. I pray he will stay in remission. Smoking...what an addiction. I know, I was one...but was BLESSED in having NO problems in quitting [when I did].
BTW, my husband's "bad" and "good" chlorestrol level were GOOD! I nearly fell over, with the way he's been eating? The things he's been eating! Has to be the Crestor and Zetia. The cardiologist did tell him to lose 25 lbs., and to get his butt on the treadmill...regardless. HA - we shall see.
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Cindy
LOL at this entry. . .so true though.
Our journals should be a fun place for us to be and for others to visit, or they should serve as a good, healthy outlet for our thoughts and feelings. I think this funk will pass, and things will get back to normal; I hope.
Lori
Yeah, it's in a funk. Some people have had some awful stuff done to them. But, that is why I have my journal private. When mine was public it happened to me too. Blocking didn't work, they just changed screennames.
I'm sure this funk will pass. After all...Fall is on the way! Cooler weather! Fall colors...pretty pumpkins! I'm ready!!
Pam
Im in a funk! LOL ehh just kidding... just trials and tribulations i suppose... the drama never ceases to amaze me.
WHERE R U? missing you & hope you are well....
amanda
(((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU))))))))))))))))))))Sorry,I know,lately seems like my journal has been in a funk.But I am good.I aggree with you. :) Have a nice evening.
Funnily enough Lyn i have just finished commenting on the same problem with someone elses journal......... obviously these 'trolls' have no life of their own..... they must be so small minded that they troll the journals and find people to attack......... well lets rise above their childish, boring comments and get on with what people read journals for............ the fun .... the entertainment ..... the insights into other peoples lives...... the trauma's they are going through.
Hell.......... get out and get a life and leave other peoples alone!!!
hugs Jayne
