About « This Journey

About

I am a divorced mom of 2 teenage boys. Poodle. Fish. FT musician. Church musician, and justice advocate which means I’m usually FT crazy, too. Along with a Japanese housemate, we all live in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota) in an almost 100 year old house.

Trying to learn that it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. So sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery!

And speaking of scenery, that photo in the header is one I took during my 2007 vacation. It’s from Washington, Hwy 20, the northern loop of the Cascade Loop.

Comment Moderation “policy”

Sometimes I have moderation on, sometimes I have it off. Sometimes something that makes no sense gets through the spam filter. If I think it’s spam I’ll flag it. If I’m not sure, I’ll delete it. Generally, I like the tone of the discussion to be civilized and respectful, so if you don’t see your comment, consider I may feel it was a flame. You have the right to your opinion and the right to have it published in cyber space. Put it on your own blog and link back to me if it bugs you so much.

Frankly, I always wondered why some people bothered to write “comment policies” at all, since it seems pretty commonsense to me. But after some of the freaky and down-right threatening comments I’ve gotten I now understand.

Breathe. Think.

Peace.

How nice of you to drop in on my blog. Not too long ago I dropped in on your fair city of Minneapolis and loved it. Have people really left threatening comments on your blog? I never had that happen, and I don’t use comment moderation. I’ve only had one nasty commenter and it was left from someone on from my online writing group, anonymously. Very cheesy.

Hi Gale,
Nice of you to stop by. Yes, sadly, I have had some very “not nice” comments recently. Mostly about a post I wrote about Edith Isabel Rodriguez. Now that you have one approved, feel free to comment any time.
