Guess what people. My website is not your toilet!

I received a message over a week ago through the Contacting Moi page here at my website. And like the others, they just aren’t nice. In fact, it’s rather sad and pathetic that people feel they have the right to contact you personally about how bad, sad and pathetic you are. That they have the right to tell you how you should and shouldn’t behave on YOUR OWN BLOG, like they have every right to control you and tell you what to do.
So sad and pathetic on their part. They are too scared to leave a message on your post, (although for those that do many remain anonymous for the sake of not outing themselves), so they contact you in private, believing you will never out them.
Outing them is the best revenge!
So here is my private conversation with Mila, feel free to email her, I don’t care what you do.
_-+-+-_
_From Mila @ Milamite@gmail.com_
_Your blog is absolute rubbish. You highlight the reason why free speech should be a privilege and not a right. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but seriously you need to shut the hell up. You should be granted an opinion if you are educated. And you k_
-+-+- 
ME 
If that’s the way you feel why the fuck are you contacting me, bitch!
-+-+-
_MILA_
_Because someone ought to tell you how stupid and uneducated you sound. Be grateful that someone actually bothered to read the drivel you write online._
-+-+-
ME
If that’s the way you feel why the fuck are you contacting me, bitch!
-+-+-
_MILA_
_The fact you continue to curse and swear simply highlights how uneducated and clueless you are. _
-+-+-
ME
Swearing isn’t a crime, bitch, so I’ll do it all I like, it also doesn’t mean I’m uneducated, many educated people swear, just because you don’t like it doesn’t give you the right to tell people not to do it.
And if you don’t like me or my blog why didn’t you have the guts to post on my blog, instead you felt the need to slag me off via the contact page. As for me shutting up, why the fuck should I? It’s my blog and my right to post any fucking thing I like on it, if you don’t like it, fuck off and keep your opinion to yourself. So troll, go hide back under your bridge.
Oh, and thanks for giving me something to blog about this week!
-+-+-
_MILA_
_I couldn’t post online Believe me I tried. You are totally entitled to your opinions, I just think you should be more considerate when articulating them do you don’t sound like a complete fool. Anyway all the best. I hope you have a good rant about my contacting you. If you state your opinion you should expect people will respond to it. Your remark about Kathleen worrall’s death being an act of karma is what incited my email to you. It’s distasteful._
-+-+-
_MILA (she sent me a second email)_
_And I have not said I do not like you. Merely you sound quite clueless and I didn’t not once tell you to shut up. Just be more thoughtful. So before you mouth off you should maybe read carefully. Actually read more in general!! It may help you._ _Anyway all the best_
-+-+-
ME (I sent this, she didn’t reply to it, probably because the truth hurts)
Let me remind you of your original message to me -
 ”Your blog is absolute rubbish. You highlight the reason why free speech should be a privilege and not a right. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but seriously you need to shut the hell up You should be granted an opinion if you are educated. And you k”
I’m not the one who needs to read carefully Mila, you clearly forgot what you first wrote, just as well I kept it!
-+-+-
MY SECOND
Why do I need to post on MY blog by YOUR standards? According to you I’m entitled to my opinion but should do what you say and be considerate with the way I articulate. Why? Just because you want me to? I did state my opinion, but it was YOU who felt the need to contact me personally to whinge and whine about my blog which, in reality, is actually NONE of your business.
Someone else’s blog is not there to please you, it’s there as a place to vent for the owner of the blog, and if you don’t like someone’s opinion, it’s not YOUR place to tell them how to better themselves. People like you are trolls, you think it’s your right to slag people off just because YOU don’t like what got talked about.
YOUR problem, NOT mine.
And that blog about Kathleen Worrall was two years ago, move on!
Go away you poor pathetic person and waste your time getting therapy!
-+-+-
_MILA_
_At least you learnt to construct a response rather than swear incessantly _
-+-+-
ME
Because that’s so fucking important to you, fuck that bitch, you don’t run my life! And I feel sorry for the people that ARE in your life if you go around dictating how they should speak and act. The people in your life must be miserable.
-+-+-
_MILA_
_Oh gosh seriously just shut up!!!!!!!! Just shut the hell up!!!!!! Now you are just annoying!!!! __Say whatever you want to say in your stupid blog. I doubt anyone reads it! I shouldn’t have even read it or emailed you because you are a moron!!!_
-+-+-
_HER SECOND EMAIL_
_By the way your blog is states bitch to me or love me!! So I am telling you You are stupid and pathetic!! Think you will be a celebrity or some stupid superstar!!! Lame!!! you are thirty ugly and over the hill get a clue Crawl back under your rock!!!!!_
_-+-+-_
And _I’M_ a moron!
Yeahhhhh, right!
Clearly the truth hit a VERY BIG nerve and hurt ALOT!
Seriously!!!!!!!
If you want to have a go at me be prepared for the backlash, if you do it anonymously you are pathetic, sad, gutless and cowardly.
If you put your name on it, at least you have that much guts, but again, be prepared. If you want to troll the web for people’s blogs just to dump your own shit all over other people, it ain’t welcome here. 
All comments are now moderated, spam does not get to stay, and vile hate filled comments don’t either. Your comments are NO LONGER instantly public SO BE WARNED, if you expect it to be on my blog posts, it may not necessarily be so.
If you want to shit all over someone take a damn good look in the mirror and dump it where it deserves. Your shit is not welcome here. This is my place and if you don’t like you know what you can do.
My website IS NOT your toilet.

Kill or be killed?

If you went on an overseas holiday to some country that had rebel issues and were captured and threatened with rape and death while a machete was thrust at your throat and slashed at your breasts after cutting your shirt off, would you kill them before they killed you?

My Favourite Things : My Blue Verbatim Hard Drive!

So earlier this year I blogged about my quest for a Verbatim hard drive, and now…..tadahhhhh…..I finally found my baby!

As you can see, it not much bigger than my blue mouse and matches my blue verbatim flash drive. Now, I have the complete set! Jewels xxoo http://dlvr.it/1cdQfs

Why are Sony recovery discs so hard to buy?

So you all know I got my Blue Vaio about two years ago now, read about it here, and while I did manage to get a flash drive to backup everything, I have waited this long to get recovery discs.

Mainly because I couldn’t actually make them on the pc itself, and I’m not sure why, but I never got past disc one. Now it turns out, once I had the form from Sony, that I had no serial number on the bottom. So after a phone call to Sony I found out because it was refurbished by them and then sold through Grey’s Online, an auction website, that I cannot buy recovery discs from them I have to go to a service centre.

What a load of rubbish. 

To think I wasted two years trying to get that sorted out only to find I can’t get any anyway.

Bloody hell!

So for future reference, be careful people!

When do you start calling people by their first name?

As children we are taught to use Mr, Mrs, Miss. Or if the person is a close friend of our parents then it’s Aunt and Uncle.
But at what age do we get rid of the complex of using respect for our elders to call them by their first name?
Even now, I’m not entirely sure I should. As a person in my third decade here on earth, I show respect to everyone as long as they show it too. If they’re rude, screw you, otherwise I’m always polite, nice and respectful.
But is it disrespect to call an elder by their first name? Do you need their permission first? If they say, call me Cyn/Al/Mel then that’s fine. That’s what I’ll call you.
If it’s your boss, respect is in order, especially in the workplace. But what about after work, or on Facebook, where we’ve all read stories about bosses friending their workers?
Sounds so icky and wrong really.
Do we just start calling them by their name, wait till they tell us to, or use the addage I thought of, if they call YOU by your first name then call them by theirs? If they don’t like it and tell you to call them Mr/Mrs then tell them ”then it’s Ms Diva!”  (insert your own name of course unless you go around being called Ms Diva).
Or do we keep the Mr/Ms for work and use their name afterwards?
I’m still not sure. It’s different with people your own age, first names are fine but when it comes to my ”elders” who aren’t always so nice and respectful, (but that’s a whole other bitch for a whole other day!!! The amount of rude old farts I’ve come across *mumble, mumble*) what the hell do we call them besides aggravating old fart?

Jewels Diva® Agony Aunt Advice Columnist!
Family, is not all it’s cracked up to be!

Ah family, sometimes I really wish I didn’t have any!

Bitches for sisters, bastards for brothers. The pain, the fury, the anger, the hatred. The name calling and pain inflicting. The mental and verbal torture. The being used as a scapegoat for them and their whinges and whines and tantrums.

“Well So-So got this, and So-So got that, why can’t I have it?????” Much foot stomping and hand throwing ensued.
Never mind the fact they were much older and had jobs and money of their own and So-So was still a child and could not fend for herself and legally still needed to be taken care of by a parent.
No! That never occurred to them at all!!!!!
“I need money, I need this, I need that, why won’t you give me any money? I deserve it I’m your son/daughter!”
Throwing a tantrum in your twenties will not get you any money, and so it shouldn’t.
As for So-So, she grew up hating her family. All five of them! Years of torment, anger and hatred left lifelong wounds in her heart and soul. So-So will never be the happy young child she was many a decade ago. Much has changed, and while she doesn’t see her family, except for the odd one now and then, nothing has changed for them either. Anger, hatred and rage still swirl around in their cold, black, dying hearts and they never get a clue that they have been that way for a lifetime. That there is nothing wrong with them and they don’t need to change. Everyone is against them and they don’t understand why people get angry at them.
Because of years and torment you inflicted imbicile!
So-So has had enough, and all of the anger and hatred from them that has seeped into her heart and soul she is dying to be rid of. She just doesn’t know when, and doesn’t know how, except to pack and leave and never look back.
For as long as she may live.

WHY DO MUMMY BLOGGERS GET MORE ATTENTION THAN SINGLE, CHILDLESS BLOGGERS?

Let’s question the rolling sea of inner turmoil that makes mummy bloggers more successful than single gals trying to chip out that little niche for themselves.
Why do mummy bloggers seem to get the most followers?
I get there are squillions of mothers out there who all need each other.
But why is it, when one is so truthful and straight talking, and tell it like it is, it seems to be the exact same things some single women talk about but never get the followers for. Or cudos!
There are millions of us out there who speak our minds with not a care for other opinions. Some call us opinionated. Some call us a bitch.
But either way we are the same.
Whether we are singe, married, divorced, widowed, if we all speak the same why are we not treated the same?
We all have life experiences, we all go through ups and downs, we all go through absolute shit with someone or something in our lives and so we all blog about it.
But for some reason, some of us are treated like shit on the bottom of a shoe; others are revered and put on pedestals. I find this shit hypocritical.
You cannot slag off at a single woman for blogging something and then turn around and praise a mother for writing the exact same thing.
There are so many of us who speak the truth straight and to the point regardless of whether you like it or not. You have the choice to not read our blog, we have the choice to blog about anything we like.
It is our tiny space of the World Wide Web. Our tiny desert island where we think, feel and see straight for the first time in our lives. Our little world where we go to get away from the shit around us and the people making our lives hell, to breathe deeply and let it all drift away with the ebb and flow of the ocean around us.
A tiny little spot to call our very own. Where no one judges, no one has the need to insult instead of disagree, no one to make our lives that extra horrible because they cannot handle their own shit and have to dump it on everyone else like the trolls they are.
Not that I care, I like a good verbal brawl.
But back to my point.
We were given the brain and thought power to question EVERYTHING, to think differently and to come up with our own opinion whether right or wrong. And only YOU will think it wrong. Women think and feel like other women and there are many of us who speak our minds so freely we get lampooned for it, except for mothers it seems.
Mummy bloggers are fantastic *sarcastic eye roll* because they know what YOU’RE going through, like a SINGLE gal wouldn’t. They know what it’s like to change a poo-ing baby, like a SINGLE, CHILDLESS gal wouldn’t. They know what it’s like to stay up late with a vomiting child who’s down with the flu, or croup, because a SINGLE, CHILDLESS gal wouldn’t.
And yet, when you read the posts of a mummy blogger who speaks her mind of other things, there are so many who agree.
So, why are SINGLE, CHILDLESS BLOGGERS treated so differently? Why are we trolled and labelled all names under the sun because instead of you merely saying you disagree, you feel the need to slap every single insultive name upon us?
Do you do that to mummy bloggers?
Not so much anymore. Mummy bloggers are becoming more and more popular with businesses wooing them so they put ads for their companies on their blogs.
And apparently you need to have been through some traumatic experience, or divorce, death, sickness, disability, or some other such thing to qualify as someone of note.
Read some mummy blogs, you’ll see what I mean.
Why are SINGLE AND CHILDLESS blogs not treated the same?
Why are we kicked to the curb and left by the wayside for others to drive over and grind into the ground like we don’t matter. Like our feelings don’t matter. Like our thoughts and opinions don’t matter? Whether you agree or not.
I don’t know, but I’m fucking sick of it.

So some weirdo decided to email me and thought they could change my mind. FUCK THAT BULLSHIT!

So recently I did a post on Margie from Biggest Loser, read about it here, and that somehow provoked a poster? reader? not sure what she is, to send me an email. Our convo went like this, and quite frankly, I’m still a bit pissed that she thought she could persuade me to change my mind by emailing me.
————————
EMAIL #1
xxxx@hotmail.com
Hi I read your blog about angry lesbians. Would love you to give me a call…I think we need to have a friendly chat about a few things. XXXXX (she left her phone number for God’s sake) I understand your position, but would love to speak to you a bit more in depth about the issue. Kind regards XXX

 ————————-
MY REPLY -
YOU’RE KIDDING RIGHT? Anything you have to say, say it on my blog. I’m not going to ring you to have a chat, and clearly from the way you phrased your email you think I’m in the wrong and need to be chastised for it and have my opinions changed. No thanks. Say it on my blog or don’t say it at all.
—————————
EMAIL #2  -
I certainly don’t want to chastise you. The reason I wanted to talk to you is I feel like so much gets lost over email. I respect your right to your opinion, but I need you to know what it means to me. I can understand that you don’t like margie, I’m not sure anyone does but please channel that dislike into who she is not what she is.
Being gay or being different is hard. Acceptance is hard, from yourself and others. Have you ever dressed up beautifully for a night out and felt great? Then someone says something and all of a sudden you come back down to reality. That’s what being gay sometimes feels like, you fit it perfectly, your dressed great then you get blindsided with a comment and you realise that your an outsider that you will always be fighting just to fit in.
Were in a time where changes are starting to happen, positive things are happening, gay marriage and equality are starting to get a voice. But we need to come together. We need each other. I realise that your post was against one person not all lesbians, but so many people have really negative thoughts against homosexuals that they will use anything to fuel those ideas.
Margie, well hate her because she is a bitch, something she can control. Not who she falls in love with or how she looks, things she can’t change. Your voice and your message are powerful, you left me standing there in my dress, realising acceptance is still a long way away. XXX

————————————

MY REPLY
XXX,
I posted about Margie because she was being a bitch. If her being gay is a part of that, which I touched on, then that’s her issue. I don’t give a shit if she’s gay, you’re gay, half the world is gay. Your sexual choice is none of my business. I don’t need to discuss anything with you, and if you had read the replies you would see some of the posters are gay and think she’s a bitch. My post was about Margie’s shit attitude, NOT her being gay. I’m done with this conversation!
————————————
I mean SERIOUSLY! who did she think she was trying to change MY mind! FUCK THAT!
