Blog Trolls, Piggy Flu and DJBlueEyes

I’ve been pretty lucky in my blogging actually.  I’ve not had many blog trolls.  What? What is a blog troll you may ask?  Well, let me give you the definition I found, online:

Troll: In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Ahhh trolls.  You know, I am all for constructive commentary.  In fact, even commentary that is in disagreement with my position is welcome, as long as it’s presented in such a manner that is … I dunno, reasonable.  Sane. But those that come and comment on blogs that attack the person, their beliefs, their family, their readers?  Yeah, those people are trolls.  And they are simply, in my opinion, not welcome … here.  Perhaps some bloggers welcome the controversy.  And if so, that is your right.  It IS your blog.

Thankfully, I’ve got me no trolls … yet.  I’m assuming my time will come too.  Of course, this post may just prompt one to pop out of their dungeon!  *Laugh*   And while I won’t mention any blogs by name, you know who you are, and know this too. You’ve a great blog, you’re a great mom and I heart you.  :)

Ohhhhhhh, I’ve missed my blog!  I’ve missed my work! I’ve missed Googlie and Twitch (a.k.a. Boobs)!  I’ve missed each of you! I’ve missed reading your blogs!

Where have I been?  Miss Emilee has tested positive for Swine Flu.  Yup, the H1N1 has hit our household.  My poor girl has been sick since Saturday, with her fever reaching as high as 103.7 at one point.  Even with Tylenol/Motrin, she still had the fever at around 100 at the lowest.  I about fell off the table at the doctor’s office when they told us she tested positive!  However, the good news is, she’s doing SO MUCH BETTER and has not had a fever for over 24 hours at this point.  So far, I feel fine.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I did not get her vaccinated for the H1N1.  Her dad and I discussed this at length, and it was our decision together to not get the vaccination.  She does not have asthma, diabetes or any type of breathing issues.   And now, well now she’s built her own antibodies to the strain, and yes, I’m okay with that.

As a side note, I’m not trying to start any sort of controversy here, people!  :)  I’m just sayin …

 

Oink Oink.

I have much catching up to do, I’m sure many of you will have some QT Comment Bombs!!
