CRAZY INTERNET ‘grammy’ BULLY~W.T.H.

Last night before turning everything off, and heading down the hallway to bed … I thought I’d clear out my email inbox.

I never expected to be cyberbullied.

The first bullying email kinda confused me, because it didn’t make sense – I blew it off as a misunderstanding.

The email that piggybacked on the first, had my eyebrows going up; not only was I being castigated for a misunderstanding on her part: but now my character (which this particular host knows absolutely nothing about) was being openly attacked, and she was raking me over the coals for Party Host Fees (which I have no control whatsoever, over). Of all the unmitigated nerve!

Hi- Can you tell me how your entry at my party was appropriate?

Deleted your entry. No excuse for not reading the rules but I suppose you’re a typical blog party linker, you drop your link and run, don’t read the rules and don’t even bother to say thanks for histing. Very rude! Contrary to what most party attendees think, hosting a party with InLinkz is not free. I am grandfathered in to the lowest fee but lots of party hosts pay $7.99 to $17.99 a month.

I replied as kindly as I could; given the circumstances: and went to bed shaking my head …

I also try to say thanks to the hostesses ... but was not able to comment on your Blog.

I find your whole attitude to be out of line, and I find you to be a very rude person; and there is NO excuse for rudeness. If the fees upset you, stop hosting. Problem solved.}}

The next day, there was another email from her.

It was very clear to me that I’m dealing with an unhinged person suffering from behavioral issues – ‘grammy’ had gone off her meds; and is careening out of control on The Crazy Train.

Again, I tried to reason with her: ending my reply post by telling her not to contact me again. I was done dealing with her.

I find dropping a link and running to be out of line and rude. I should have let your silly post remain on the healthy recipes party so that other bloggers could see how ignorant you were to link up a non-recipe post!! Fees must upset you because you’re using Google’s free website builder Blogspot. My blog costs me more than you could possibly imagine and my extremely low InLinkz fee is hardly nothing. However, I don’t host parties to promte people like you!!! And, there is no reason you could not leave a comment unless you’re too dumb to know how!!

All you had to do was delete the post - instead you went ballistic and ran your mouth in overtime.

As I said ... I am sorry you are furious. And, as I stated last night: you are an extremely rude and obnoxious person. Please DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN.}}

I got home from volunteer work this afternoon … and wouldn’t you know it … she had decided to intensify her ridiculousness.

You are obviously a psycho. My attorney is aware of your threat.

At this point, I just burst out laughing: what else is there to do when dealing with a person who has clearly had a break with reality?

Delusional people are everywhere!

I don’t get angry with ridiculousness anymore: life is too short, and time can be utilized much better – crazy ‘grammy’ is not worth another second of my precious time: I’ll simply delete any further emails from her … yesterday, I deleted her Blog Hop link from my Monday – Sunday Linkie Parties, party hops.

I’ve been actively involved in Blog Hops for 14 years, and I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I enjoy the Hops; I’ve met some real nice people along the Hopping trail … the participants (hosts and link posters) are generally fun-loving people that like to share parts of their lives with others (homesteading, crafting, designing, reading materials, recipes, travel, camera shots, ect.): ‘grammy’s behavior certainly is NOT how 99% of Blog Hop Hosts behave.

I’ve posted thousands of posts to ‘grammy’s Blog Hops over the past 14 years – and have enjoyed interaction with her; but I am not enjoying the recent interactions.

Maybe ‘grammy’ is having dementia moments: she is certainly behaving like she is demented!

There was no need for all her drama: simply, and quietly, deleting the post should have been enough – like any sane person would do.

If I receive another flaming email … I'll return it to her unopened, unanswered – and continue to do so as long as she keeps pestering me with her immature bully tactics. Maybe the back-to-back returns will stop her frantic insane actions.

I am not responsible for her crazy behavior.

I am not responsible for InLinkz monthly fees.

I am not responsible for responding to her baits.

I am responsible for me.

And I’m rerouting the rails I travel – ‘grammys’ Crazy Train does not get to share my space anymore 😉

IN FOR A PENNY~IN FOR A POUND …

Today was my day at a local Food Bank. I enjoy this time, so noting that the weather was favorable today: the treeline out Coal Creek was clear of snow; as was the Longview Heights area – towards the Columbia Heights area ...

I ‘went for it’ 😉

The coffee was warm, and tasty.

I look forward to my afternoon time in Kelso.

The radio station was playing decent music 😊

And the weather was favorable … until I turned onto Nevada Drive, towards West Side Highway: suddenly, the sunshine morphed into a driving rain/sleet/snowflakes combo. But I was halfway to my destination: I was “in for a penny, and in for a pound” – the drive really wasn’t that treacherous, and I was praying that the worst of it would hold off until I got back home 😉

Going into Kelso, this afternoon - if there's no reason not to do it ... I'm doing it ;-)
Snow patches along Laurel Road.
View from S. Nevada Drive.
Snow draped Lone Oak hillside from Nevada Drive; I planned to drive that road back home, 2 hours from now – so I scoped it out ðŸ˜‰

By the time I reached my destination; snowflakes as big as dimes riding on a driving rain, were falling at a windswept angle. I prayed harder that my return trip would not be too dicey.

The two hours passed quickly with jokes, laughter, and remarks of “this is nutty! It was 75-degrees just 4 days ago!” from everyone: workers, and customers. And it is true.

Afterwards, I did drive home over Lone Oak Road – it’s quite a bit higher in elevation than Westside Highway (and Ocean Beach Highway), and I was curious as to how much snow actually fell in those hills.

It was obvious that a significant amount of snow had fallen the day before … there was snowy evidence, as well as storm damage debris (downed wiring along the roadside, cleanup where trees and tree limbs had fallen across the road, and wind-tossed branches littering both sides of the roadway); but the drive along the route was relatively dry road and easy passage. I was thankful.

Lone Oak Road.
9 minutes to home.
Top of Lone Oak Road; road ice-free, though littered with tree-breakage debris.
The only storm damage, here at home: I put it in a cup of water, on the kitchen window sill ðŸ˜‰
All that was missing weather-wise this afternoon, was a tornado touch-down.

There was no weather-related tornado touchdown … but there was a cyber-related tornado that had been dropped into my Blogger email.

I dealt with it – and God willing – that tempest will lose its steam and fade away.

It’s ridiculous and I’m tired of it continually showing up. I'm dealing with a lot right now   I don't need to be dealing with a crazy woman.

I am also missing my husband (April is the month Bob and I became a couple), and my little grandson (April is the month we found out he would be born in June): so, I redirected my thoughts, and got busy coating the soles of the final three pairs of slippers 😉

Last 3 pairs of slipper soles to be coated, and set to 'cure'.
