Please don't lose the snark, it is hilarious! Nothing you said was even that snarky and you don't need ANYONE'S permission to blog about whatever you damn well please.<br /><br />Also, I think wreaths are stupid.kristen elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378318495595202207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348174907768373123.post-43381649283183034752012-08-20T22:54:38.163-05:002012-08-20T22:54:38.163-05:00I am a 54-year-old grandmother, a long-time crafte...I am a 54-year-old grandmother, a long-time crafter, (everything from repurposing just about anything, to designing and making clothing, from infants to wedding dresses and quilts, to building furniture). I am NOT a blogger, and I have a pretty decent sense of humor. I have a very handy husband who can do just about anything from designing flowers to plumbing to rebuilding cars. We are both retired mail carriers. I have been reading your blog since you started, because I have been reading your wife's blog from time to time for quite a while and I thought it would be cool to see both sides of the story. I had to catch up on your recent debacle because we spent the weekend on a motorcycle trip... And yes, I've been riding my own bike for 26 years. In other words, I ain't no slouch, and I've got a lot of experience doing a lot of stuff!! I think your comments were hilarious, and I'll even censor myself!! I think creative people who put themselves out there to brag a little in blogland should be prepared for comments -- praise, comical, sarcastic, ridiculous, and critical -- or they should keep their boasting to themselves. Keep at it, my good man... I loved it!! My husband agreed with you, and I'll keep right on reading!!pambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849412920321412531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348174907768373123.post-87635753648072865072012-08-20T18:53:19.818-05:002012-08-20T18:53:19.818-05:00Well, I missed all the drama over the weekend I gu...Well, I missed all the drama over the weekend I guess... All I have to say is there are some people, women and men included that pounce on drama. Whether the original was meant to be dramatic or not... Sorry you had to be introduced to that side of things so early in your blogging career. ;) I thought it was funny! I'm with those that say you can pick on my crafts anytime! It's all in good fun!

She'll always be a favorite!!!!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139674170899501598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348174907768373123.post-33219294456560350242012-08-20T14:50:06.452-05:002012-08-20T14:50:06.452-05:00Yep!

Are their husbands so whipped they're not allowed to express their own opinions? If their husbands weren't scared to death of being killed in their sleep with a crochet needle, they'd probably give some of the same opinions you give. <br /><br />It's obvious to regular readers that you don't take yourself too seriously, and you hope for the same in others. If they can't handle opposing opinions, they should get off the internet. People need to stop expecting to be coddled by everyone. They can get some self confidence & learn to take things with a grain of salt. <br /><br />As for me, I'll still be reading your blog. And laughing along with you.Cozyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677790115874919880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348174907768373123.post-38457674456522071582012-08-18T20:49:47.024-05:002012-08-18T20:49:47.024-05:00Frankly, I don't think it matter WHOSE blog th...Frankly, I don't think it matter WHOSE blog they linked up to - like many of the comments mentioned... they chose to put their stuff on the internet... you can't choose to do something like that and then get your panties in a twist when you don't like one thing someone says. AND it was all for fun! <br /><br />Those women need to learn to laugh at themselves and maybe develop some self confidence! If you love what you've created, who gives a crap what one man says about it??

Such a shame, I thought your post was hilarious and am kinda gobsmacked that people couldn't see that it was all light hearted good fun. But then I am married to a man who probably could have written that post. I let him guest post on my blog from time to time and feel like i have to duck and cover after i hit publish incase someone takes his off hand comments too seriously. His most recent suggestion was to find out if anyone is allergic to nuts before making these treats you should all take a mouthful of peanut butter and if anyone collapses from anaphylactic shock then you probably shouldn't make the treats. - How long do you think I'll get away with that before someone tells me or Hublet we are irresponsible.<br />Glad you are going to carry on blogging and sorry that you were hit by the crazies The Monkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015980234917286789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348174907768373123.post-8736267341462628052012-08-18T13:02:57.415-05:002012-08-18T13:02:57.415-05:00I still don't understand how people were upset...I still don't understand how people were upset by this?
