~ Break ~

Just a short entry to let you all know I'm taking a break.

 

Troll bitch has been back and I am really tired of hearing how I make up my life.   Most recent comment relating to not having anything to say and I should just make up another story to get attention. 

 

Tired of lame excuses for actions taken only to have things be turned around and put on me.

 

Tired of folks requesting tags long after they are expired only to turn around and send nasty emails when I let them know they are expired.  What part of 'Expires on' is not clear?

 

Tired of the snow and cold.

 

Just plain tired.

 

Might be gone a day, a week, a month......  I have no clue....  but after the most recent short breaks I didn't want ya to worry.  I'm ok....... just tired

 

Hugs

I'd say "rest well" but that sounds morbid.
I take breaks all the time from my journals, and I don't even have a troll.   I think if I did, though, I'd make dang sure I journaled even more.    For a while anyway.  
The long winter and lingering snow sho 'nuff could depress a body...but I have to say I never thought even one entry was boring.    Nasty emails?   That's what "delete" is for.
Love ya

Donna, Don't allow someone that has no life to affect yours. We all need a break from time to time and with all you have gone through the past few months, I can certainly understand how you would need a break. Just don't give anyone the satisfaction of thinking it is because of their harrassment and BS about you.
Keep your chin up.
Love ya !!
Linda

Donna I know you have tried to be upbeat with most of your entries. I also know that you need time to yourself where you need to grieve without feeling you owe the world an explaination. I'm truly sorry that there are those in this world of ours who have never experienced true love for someone and have lost them. Those of us left behind  hurt more than anyone could ever imagine unless they have felt love as we have. Thank you for the prayers for my brother and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers also.
Hugs

You take as much time as you need, we'll be here when you get back.  It is such a shame that the actions of some here in J-Land are meant to negatively impact others.  At least you are not shutting your journal down.  That would be such a big loss to the rest of us here if that ever happened.  I do hope you are able to come back at some point with renewed vigor.

Donna, you know in cyber life, just like in real life,  there's always going to be haters, trouble makers and drama queens.  You can't let them win chicky!   that's what they strive for because they're ignorant pieces of shit who don't have a life and are miserable and misery looooooooooooooooves company, ya know?  This troll bitch must be one of the girls who were least likely to succeed in school, the underdog who was the ugly duckling and who never grew out of her resentment towards the girls like you who were and still are, popular and adorable and loved by many.  Fuck her and her shallow life, please don't stay away because of her, don't let one bad apple steal your glory babe!  I'm not saying this because I'm greedy to have your awesome tags, I'm saying it because it's true.  If she can read these entries, and is reading this, this is for her ... GET A FUCKING LIFE BIOTCH, QUIT BEING A HATER!..  

I support whatever decision you make hon, but would just love to see you keep on keeping on and not let her win, by staying and ignoring her, she's lost the battle.  Hell, make a tag for her that we all can use for the haters in our lives..lol...I for one could use a good smart ass tag for the haters in my myspace world..HA!

You take care, be strong and perservere chick and we'll all be waiting for your next awesome tag, whenever that my be!!!

Luv ya!
Darlene :)

I'm with Leslie...I don't know you personally but your entries and tags  have brightened my gloomy days here in Ohio. I enjoy hearing about the Sabers, your family and Buffalo. I have found in my job (home care nurse) and in my personal life that there are all kinds "trolls" lurking around out there. ( I think troll is too nice of a word for her/him) May the "trolls" of this world find a special place in hell were they belong. I understand your taking a break. It is nice to take a break and refresh. Just know you and your entries will be missed.    Jean

OMG, D, I just read this in Lisa Jo's journal.  I saw your entry the other day and probably forgot to comment again.  Yeah, I'm so lame but I agree with the boring winter.  It's just mundane day after day.  WTH can you say when nothing is going on.  I can't stand that you still have a damned monkey on your back.  You know I'm here for you if you need anything at all.  I hope you take the shortest break ever.  Love you, Chris

Hi Donna

Everybody needs a break once in a while. Away from People who are not friendly to others, just block them out of your life.

Enjoy your Days with Love and Happiness. Spring is in the Air, the Birds are singing, just enjoy......

Donna, I will miss your reports on Hockey and Pictures .

Dont stay away to long.....but do enjoy your Time off from this  Journal.

God bless you...Hugs Ulla

Enjoy your time away, and don't let the "Trolls" worry you, and as for the tags that you offer to all us, people must realise that you do this in yoyr own time it's not your actual JOB, and you explain very well the rules about ordering tags.

See you when you return

Take care

I'm so sorry Donna. I just found out about your break over in another journal and had to come right over. I'm sad that you are being harrassed. I don't understand people. Recently, an RN told me that working at my job would make me lose faith in our human race.  I think that sometimes, being in Jland can do that, too, if you aren't careful. Yanno?
I will miss you LOTS. Thank you again for all of the tags you have made me recently. Take care of yourself sweetie.
Love you,

I'm so sorry you're leaving. I won't lie I will miss your talent. I hope you are able to take his time and recharge yourself. I know you got lots going on in real life with the wedding planning and stuff so go enjoy that time like your sister would do. I know she wouldn't want anybody in her shoes, but you to do that.
I feel bad myself because I have stopped journaling, but for me it is time.
Just know that you have a lot of people here wishing you well and hoping that you come back soon.
Take care, Chrissie

Usually I would tell you to shrug it off and just let it go, but you have been battling this for a LONG TIME.. TOO LONG, so maybe it is time to give yourself a break from it. But let people think whatever the heck they want to, at the end of the day they don't matter and those who do know who you really are.
Take a break, enjoy it, it must be hard keeping up such a beautiful journal. You know we'll all be here when your ready to return.

I haven't been on much lately either, I go through spurts like this when I just need a break...i think we all do.... I am sorry you are having to deal with the troll again...UGH!  I do hope you don't stay away too long...we will miss you!!

As far as people asking for graphics after they are expired...that would get old...cause you state it clearly in each entry when they expire.... You have a life, you work fulltime like most of us...it's not like you are getting paid to make graphics for us.... I am just thankful you share your talent with us...

Enjoy your break....we will be awaiting your return

Im getting so sick of these people upsetting the ones I care about on here,I understand you though,normally you would launch into a good deleting mode with the added comment from you,but you have had a hellish time of it lately and its going to take its toll,trolls rely on their power to upset people,and they learn how to push your buttons,I know from first hand experience,mostly through email abuse,but abuse is abuse,whatever form it takes.
I apologise as I have once applied for an expired tag,but it was cool when you told me,I think these people need to learn about the english language,and perhaps buy a dictionary to help them out a bit.However you do need a break hun,my thoughts are with you and I know you are a strong woman who will only come back when you need to,not because people badger you to,please try to rest up,be well and look after yourself,love zoe xx

Expired tag request is one of the reasons I went to snag only. Thankfully I never got nastygrams but if the tag was expired I just deleted it. No need for a response! I understand the need for a break. Come back when your good & ready & don't worry about the troll. Emmi

I am so very to hear that you are getting grief again...... was gonna go off on one...but then again thought why bother, they are not worth it. As they old saying goes ' I wouldn't p**s on them if they were on fire'..... so am not going to waste anytime building up their poor little waste of space lives. Nuff said.

I understand what you are saying about being tired......... these weather needs to change for me to brighten up.

I guess you could make your journals private....... but then the 'worms' would only somehow weedle their way in, like vermin burrowing.

Rest up........ chill out......... and come bouncing back real soon......... gonna miss you my friend
