mdehnersYesterday, I had a "missive" ready to be uploaded here, when I got a "Voiceover" asking "Why?". I deleted the entry...
When I 1st discovered LJ, I really didn't Understand the concept. Was it like a list? A DIary? A Bathroom wall? I Truth, it can be any, all or none of them;>. I'd sort of thought of it as my journal, without the stainst from spills or chomp-marks from toothed and beaked pets;>. Since I never have had problems with folks reading mine, LJ seemed a "Good Thing".
So, what does this have to do with the "WHy?". Because I(or someone else;>) realized that I'd Wandered off Topic and was being "Helpful". Now, this doesn't sound so bad...Right? Well, when you're "Helping" the Helpless, "Clueing" the Clueless AND it has nothing to do with you and yours...is it OK? I realized that recently I'd been being "Helpful", quite often to those who either didn't Wish to be or didn't consider their Problem to BE one....certainly not the Cause of their Problem(s)....
Now, I DOubt I can CHange habits of a Lifetime Overnight but I'll try. If your Problems aren't Impinging on Family or Folk, I'll at least try to stay out of Other's "bidness". If asked however:>
Troth,
Pat
