And your whole d...I love drives like that, Bernie! And your whole day sounded wonderful!<br /><br />You know, Bernie, life is too short to get bogged down or to let others pull you in that direction. I'm not saying you shouldn't reach out to others, but, Bernie, you did, you tried, you have such a good heart, and I believe you did all you could. Sometimes we just have to face the fact that there is no way for us to help, no more for us to do, and move on.<br />You've faced it. Don't second guess yourself now. Think positive. Be positive. Surround yourself with positive.<br />Too bad that other blogger can't do that, or maybe she can, just not yet. <br />But I don't think there is anymore that you can do for this person and to continue a relationship might only serve to bring you down.<br /><br />I'm glad you lived in the positive today!<br />Beautiful post! I loved reading it!<br />Love you!, EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-87026953618379708222009-09-08T20:48:22.204-06:002009-09-08T20:48:22.204-06:00Bernie: I have had a terrible time loading and rea...Bernie: I have had a terrible time loading and reading your posts and leaving comments. I have been trying most of the night. I hope it is on my end and not yours. It seems when the music is trying to load after I get your posts up it gets hung up and takes forever and I couldn't even leave comments on your last three posts. But now I have read them all and am caught up and can finally get through. I was dying to comment on the last post about the lady showing up again. She did the same on my blog and left a comment that she has a new blog with a new name. I just left one civil comment back, but I will NOT go and visit her blog and get sucked up into her drama again. I agree with you wholeheartedly that she needs professional help and NOW. I have no doubt that she has borderline personality disorder, and I feel bad for her and her family. But I cannot help anyone who will not help themselves, nor will I correspond with her any longer. If I get comments, I will block them from now on and if they continue, I will report her to Blogpost. I am so sorry you got to worrying again about her. Just dismiss her from your mind and don't give it another thought. Those kind of people prey on others with golden hearts. We fell for it once, but we will not twice.<br />I have missed reading you every day and am so glad I got caught up with you. I still have not read all of my favorite blogs yet and am behind in many for about a week. I haven't even had time to post on my own blog, either...but we have had gorgeous weather here and I have been outside all day as much as possible because I know in a few short weeks we will not be able to get out on our lake due to the cold coming. Thanks so much for commenting on my blog when I have been able to post. I look forward to your blog and posts every day that I get to get them or read them.<br />Take it easy on the fall cleaning, I worry about you and your R.A. and you overdoing it.<br />Take care, and I hope to get back to routine soon!

I, too, am seeing the changes all around me now - the grasses are turning golden and red in the forest and the aspens (which are quaking now in the breeze) are more golden with each passing day. I long for summer after a hard winter, but fall has a special beauty all its own.<br /><br />I am going to look into whether people can actually be blocked from a blog. I have a person who comes onto my site 4-5 times a day and never has left a comment. I do have friends around the country who visit and don't comment, but I recognize the city where they live and welcome them - sometimes they send me E-mails since they don't have Google accounts. However, this person is not a known friend because I don't recognize the town name. Unfortunately, I feel uneasy by the amount of time this person spends monitoring my blog without comment. I am so predictable with my posting - mostly on Mondays and Thursdays - why would anyone need to check my blog daily and so many times?Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-2643390219950680102009-09-08T12:26:17.835-06:002009-09-08T12:26:17.835-06:00Hi Bernie,
