I hate it when people just disappear to.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524541468790905722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-76657040589623893062009-05-09T06:02:00.000-07:002009-05-09T06:02:00.000-07:00I know, some blogs are still up but have not had a...I know, some blogs are still up but have not had a post in months.

I started out with a financial journal before I started blogging, and that might be an idea for you. You don't get comments, but it sorta does help keep oneself in line.Grace.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03557395027685855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-88004089520387671402009-05-08T11:12:00.000-07:002009-05-08T11:12:00.000-07:00Hi Grace,

I deleted my blog because I became concerned that I was not as anonymous as I would have liked.Petunia 100https://www.blogger.com/profile/11419094642410711334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-74197820810393551992009-05-07T21:34:00.000-07:002009-05-07T21:34:00.000-07:00Cases like JW's are sad but the ones I really worr...Cases like JW's are sad but the ones I really worry about are ones where the blog is still there but it suddenly ceases to be updated and there is no clue as to what happened.<br /><br />For example, MP (Morphine Princess from Future Unknown) last blogged on Aug 3 to say she was adjusting to a new form of morphine and was going to a condo meeting but would be back soon to post a longer update. Then she apparently dropped off the face of the blogosphere but the blog is still up.<br /><br />Or Ann from Vintage Mommy and One Bag Nation. She disappeared at the beginning of February after leaving a post at the end of January saying she was planning to post pictures of her home office in a week or so.<br /><br />It makes me worry that something bad happened and, of course, in MP's case it wouldn't be too surprising because of her health but I'd just like to *know*.Shevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360963999613712921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-12197914837525177422009-05-07T14:27:00.000-07:002009-05-07T14:27:00.000-07:00Grace,

I don't want to post on my bad days because I'd rather my blog be upbeat.<br />But it's tough.<br />Plus when you really, really write how you feel, you've got to be prepared for some vicious backlash. Those days I try to avoid. Shame I can't be totally honest anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-30540145599579280752009-05-07T13:11:00.000-07:002009-05-07T13:11:00.000-07:00Ah, I so understand.

And when I do post, commenting has stopped too. I think we all get a bit busy.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-35211731860494094672009-05-07T12:36:00.000-07:002009-05-07T12:36:00.000-07:00I think it's tough when you don't have a concrete ...I think it's tough when you don't have a concrete goal (like getting out of debt or retiring), and when things are going badly. It's pretty humbling to blog about how badly everything is going.<br /><br />Just speculating here, obviously.<br /><br />I still feel for JW. There are some evil people out there on the internet.DogAteMyFinanceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571124283388079010noreply@blogger.com
