On Being a Nosey Busy-Body....

Sometimes I like to delve into the journals of other members... usually I just read my friends' journals, to see how things are going in their lives, just to check in, etc. but, sometimes I see a title that catches my attention, so I take a peek.... and sometimes I am hit face on with the realization I should have minded my own business!

There are some things that I just don't really need to know. It's not like I need to add one more sick and perverted idea to my mind, I see enough of them on a daily basis, either through my occupation or on the news, etc.

Then there are the times that I read things that just about rip my heart out. I think I am much too empathetic at times, because I can hear or read the heartache of others and it breaks my heart and I'll start to cry.

There are times that I read things that totally piss me off... this is the reason I have been staying out of the political forum... I realize my conservative views are in a minority around here, and when I see or hear people bad mouthing the President, or slamming our military, etc. it makes my blood boil (one of the pitfalls of a German-Scottish heritage perhaps?)

But perhaps what turns my ire from smoldering embers to a raging fire is when others have been nosing through MY journal, and then decide to accost me for my thoughts and ideas... talk about a way to NOT "win friends and influence people"... I can't think of a better way to alienate someone.... it just doesn't pay to be a nosey busy-body.
