However, there are occasions (work) where anonymity might be good. <br /><br />Re: the weight loss topic - I will say that if you don't want comments on something, then it's better left unposted. The nature of blogs is to encourage dialogue. Can't or don't want opinions? best not to blog about it.<br /><br />As far as weight, I think comments (aside from cowardly types) are typically because we can commiserate and want to encourage. When I read your post - my heart went out to you and I wanted to say, "been there, done that, support your feelings & goals! do what you need to". <br /><br />So here we are now commenting on it. Basically, life's rough - let's support each other's attempts to do good things for ourselves and others.danettehttp://mooshkette.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-55199246354214305012009-05-15T23:27:00.000-04:002009-05-15T23:27:00.000-04:00Carolyn ,please forgive me for E-mailing you last ...Carolyn ,please forgive me for E-mailing you last week I just thought there was a glitch on your blog.

I do use the anomymous notation, but only because I've forgotten my password. LOL, it's heck to get old. Anyway, I think you realize that I always sign my name and would not resort to any such unkind behavior, anyway. You know how much I admire your work and you personally, and it dismays me that anyone would disregard your wishes and resort to mean language. <br /><br />KarendeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-54975088626317832552009-05-14T00:19:00.000-04:002009-05-14T00:19:00.000-04:00hi, i like your blog :) i think it is good that yo...hi, i like your blog :) i think it is good that you are standing up for yourself. i also love star trek but funds are low so i will see it when it hits the low price movies here. i am sewing a old school trek uniform to wear when i go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-69145776924650174812009-05-13T22:36:00.000-04:002009-05-13T22:36:00.000-04:00Sic 'em, Carolyn.

I'm also glad that you took action by blocking comments, instead of just letting them land. Sigh. Regarding the tactlessness of commenters, I can't add anything to what else has been already said. I'm glad that you took a stand and that you are continuing to blog. <br /><br />I hope you have a chance to see Star Trek--it's great! I'm going to grab a copy of Lucky Magazine--that shot of the skirts looks very inspirational. <br /><br />Rose in SVRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782386414185682598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-83277039580066558552009-05-12T21:55:00.000-04:002009-05-12T21:55:00.000-04:00My posts show up as anonymous but I always sign th...My posts show up as anonymous but I always sign the comments when I manage to post something online. I am not very good with the computer blog thing and this was the only way I could comment here. Your blog has been very helpful to me and several of your tnt patterns I have tracked down and have serious plans for. I think it is rotten for people to be rude online just as it is anyplace in the world so please know I am not an anonymous ugly commenter. I consider a blog a personal social invite into that part of someone's life they are willing to share and some of the sewing blogs like yours are such a happy place to drop into for those of us new to the sewing blog experience. I have been on a trip and missed any of the ugly stuff so am happy you were able to zap whatever you didn't care for. Life is stressful enough without letting the junk invade the sewing room. mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-65254580778312617992009-05-12T21:36:00.000-04:002009-05-12T21:36:00.000-04:00Carolyn,

I am always surprised to see a link to certain blogs all over the place. We can't go back to the tight and supportive group of blog readers that once were out there. I can't see a soulution except to ignore any rude comments. All comments are faceless, well most of them anyway. So accent on the positive and try to forget the others.<br />MargueriteMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395228631699632403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-84940711514748884292009-05-12T18:21:00.000-04:002009-05-12T18:21:00.000-04:00Wow, has everyone seen Star Trex already?

I've been thinking about bold printed skirts lately.<br /><br />Star Trek is on my must-see list. I never liked any of the shows, or the other movies for that matter - but I think watching the backstory will be interesting. Plus I'm in agreement with Cidell - Captain Kirk is pretty yummy.<br /><br />You are absolutely an inspiration to me in so many ways - most importantly is your strong sense of self and your level of confidence. I have always had issues with that myself, but when I discovered sewing blogs and seeing the multitude of diverse women "making it work" that I've finally begun to embrace my talents and making them work for me. Thank you for that.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763367059667397445noreply@blogger.com
