...and I guess that has got some of you so very angry.
The question is, why do I put up with the crap in the comments section? Because I like to alienate people? Piss ‘em off? Because I can hardly believe some of you people? You’re crazy, some of you. Looney. Which, I suppose, makes me looney, too It’s amazing what my written words bring out in people. I push your buttons. Some of you dislike me. Detest me. So much. Why do you keep coming back? If you detest me to such a degree, one would think you’d just say adios. But you keep coming back for more. To have me keep pushing your buttons. To see what I’m gonna say next. And to tell me how much you despise me and disagree with me. And to tell me that I’m insensitive and inconsiderate and hurtful. That I’m evil. In collusion with the devil. You seem to think I cause an almost unbelievable amount of hurt. Anguish. Harm. It baffles me that you can’t leave it alone. Just write me off. Write off Broede’s Broodings. Yes, push a button. Turn off this blog. Maybe it’s that I’m hitting what’s sacred with you. With your way of life. With our country. With your religion. I’m questioning it all. All the pat assumptions that we’ve lived all our lives. Whether we really love. Really care. About each other. About anything meaningful. I’m suggesting that many of us are living lies...and I guess that has got some of you so very angry. –Jim Broede

Jim, "angry" is really the wrong word. It is more that you "hurt" us with the way you write about us. "Hurting" others (who are still looking for something good to come out of this blog of yours) is not really something that makes you a likeable gentleman.
To be honest, I think you don't really want to be liked, which is why you continue to push our "buttons" as the responses you get are exactly what you are looking for.
It also baffles me that you would rather have people "against" you, rather than expand your circle of friends within your "blog"
Why not try for a while to be a little less insensitive, inconsiderate and hurtful, you may be surprised and even more exhilerated by getting ALL positive answers - but somehow I think not.
We do care about each other Jim, which is why we continue to stand up for ourselves and each other when one of us is "hurt".
Not "angry".....Jim......just "hurt" that someone who really has no knowledge of our lives can keeping on doing this.
You notice I called you a "gentleman" Jim, as I am a "Lady", not a woman, nor a guttersnip.
Have you ever taken writing classes? If you had, you would not be so amazed. Have you ever had your writing critiqued by a pro? I don't mean your local editor.

I don't see these posts. Have they been removed, or suppressed? If so, then why would you repeat them? Why would you not just go on your merry way, and ignore them, or write them off?
As to whether anyone really cares, it seems that, at at least one point, a lot of people showed they DID care, but you do not acknowledge that.

Oh, you're an angry lady, Patricia. About as angry as they come. You have a red-hot anger button. And it doesn't serve you well. You are so easy to provoke. Because of your innate anger. And you really just want to communicate on your terms. Well, that ain't gonna happen. And you aren't gonna patch up your differences with people close to you until you do that. Until you let the anger subside. And become a real lady. I'm confident that you can do that. But it's gonna take a whole lot of doing. And a changed attitude. A more positive one. A more forgiving one. --Jim Broede
Maebee:
You don't see things, Maebee, because you don't open up your total being. You're shutdown. You need not only to open your mind, but your heart and gut and soul. To the very core. With passion. I think you are going through motions. Like a robot. Living without really questioning your premises. You haven't bothered to analyze yourself. Your strengths. Your weaknesses. You're on automatic pilot. There's more to being just a clown, Maebee. You have to wanna be a unique clown. One of a kind. Why don't you try to become you? And be proud of it. And not give a damn what other people say. You don't have to please everyone. You want to make me into a pleaser. Just like you, don't you? Well, it ain't gonna happen. --Jim Broede
The biggest shame is that Patricia has never insinuated about your private relationship, like you have her's. What, exactly does it prove? It proves that you don't know what you are "talking" about.
As for your response to me, I think you are sounding a little disjointed today.

Maebee:
One thing I know for sure, Maebee. And that is Patricia has a wonderful daughter. Very bright. Very enlightened. Very kind. Very open-minded. Patricia has good reason to be a proud mother. --Jim Broede
Jim,
I got another question for you. Does that thar Mother Superior with all her eddy-cut understand just plain English?
How can she justify being so holyer than thou and yet not get it?
It's not you Jim it's her. She is not hurt, she fears what you might say and that pisses her off as she cannot control you.
She is mad as hell inside that she cannot control others in her personal life. She says you don't know anything about her I say who has asked?
Maybe she really wants a position right here on your blog. Now do you need any executives is my next question?
The thought she would could move right in at a moments notice and run the place as that thar other place she is stayin now is never all that busy except in the back room where they hide and do their dirty work.
Now remember the Village Idiot positon has already been filled and that one keeps you busy Jim and Mother Superior is not all that superior if ya know what I mean so she will need a little help also from you as her standards are high and mighty but I am sure you can find somethin for her jim she has the need to want to change you and she likes to be pissed off so I think it'll work out.
Now jim you can teach too and not even have to leave home and I mean teach not preach if you know what I mean. You can teach Mother Superior unconditional love for all those in her life and in the world and not just the chosen by her. It will be a big job Jim but I know if anyone can do it,you can.
But first I know you will need to ponder the thought.I strongly suggest you buy a big keg of beer and while your a driknin it.. ponder if she really understands what you are sayin.
This is becoming truly hilarious! I know you won't "publish" this. I don't really care. I copied it to pass around.
This is the perfect venue for you. You can play reporter, editor, and publisher!
This "cable guy" is a very poor attempt at covering up the identity of either one of your "friends", or yourself. C'mon! "eddy-cut"?? This coward has too many unjustified feelings toward Patricia, to NOT be one of your "friends". My money is on that it is you. The writing is too similar, and it is too obvious an attempt to try to cover up the scaredy-cat's true identity.
Hey, Jim, gimme back my clown hat!
I guarantee you, Maebee, that cable guy ain't me. I'd swear to that on a stack of Bibles or even on a stack of the Communist Manifesto. Or whatever you'd want me to swear on. Even in a court of law. I'd swear to my free-thinking god that it ain't me. But I have to admit that cable guy is funny. That's why I allow him to be published here. The same goes for you, Maebee. You are downright funny. That's why some of your otherwise questionable posts get by. They are funny and entertaining. --Jim Broede
LMAO - Mother Superior here.
Again, I choose to forgive both you Jim and also Cable Guy (whoever he/she is)
As you chose not to post my last response to you Jim which was totally non-confrontational, I yet again say "ADIOS" to you.
BTW, my daughter thanks you for your kind comments about her and would really appreciate it if you would no longer make these insinuations about our relationship, as she loves me very much, as do I her.
Is this ladylike enough for you Jim, and
Larry I do not fear anything Jim might say as both my daughter and myself know the truth of this, and I am proud of her as she well knows. You will also find that she is proud of me.
I think we have a slight language barrier here Larry, I don't do "high and mighty" or "holier than thou" and in the English Language it is spelt
"Etiquette",
one aspect of decorum, is a code that governs the expectations of social behaviour, according to the conventional norm within a society, social class, or group.
Usually unwritten, it may be codified in written form. Etiquette usually reflects formulas of conduct in which society or tradition have invested.
An etiquette may reflect an underlying ethical code, or in may grow more as a fashion, as in eighteenth century Britain where apparently pointless acts like the manner in which a tea cup was held became important as indicators of upper class status.
Like "culture", it is a word that has gradually grown plural, especially in a multi-ethnic society with many clashing expectations. Thus, it is now possible to refer to "an etiquette" or "a culture", realizing that these may not be universal.
In Britain, though, the word etiquette has its roots in the eighteenth century, becoming a universal force in the nineteenth century to the extent that it has been described as the one word that aptly describes life during the reign of Queen Victoria.
ADIOS to the both of you, you are forgiven and forgotten.
BTW my family is not upperclass and we use mugs for our tea and coffee - LMAO
out beyond ideas of right and wrong-doing, there is a field..I'll meet you there.
-rumi.
Thank you Rosie for this one.
Patricia:
I like this side of you. You sound more settled. More at ease. Relaxed. Not ill-tempered. Rather likeable. And I think it's wonderful that you and your daughter have each other. Both of you are blessed. Mother and daughter. Daughter and mother. I'm sure both of you have learned a lot from each other. And you'll keep learning. I'm sure of it. That's a nice thought, isn't it? --Jim Broede
