how do i stop myself from committing murder



---------------
Chilling and blood curdling to find that someone came to my blog after putting those words into a Google search. (Page 2)

Yes, I did write about commiting murder once when I had been up all night due to my own snoring and my words were coated with grandiloquence and hyperbole and just plain old tale-telling exaggerations and rowdy rhetoric.

On the off chance that this person is serious and would possible return to Tchotchkes, I say please don’t do it. You can contemplate murder all you want – I do it on a daily basis, usually directed to my dogs which drive me crazy or sometimes my mother-in-law, but I am not serious in any way.

Am I being over sensitive? Were you just kidding around when you typed those words into Google? I sure hope so. But you’ve got my panties in a bunch this morning, just contemplating what you were contemplating or appeared to be contemplating at 4:54 this morning.

You read some other entries, you stayed a while at my blog, what does that mean? I usually try to elicit a laugh or two from readers, did I make you laugh at all?

If you were serious, then I can see you really don’t want to do anything hurtful. Murderers don’t bother with Google, unless they’re looking up poisons or places to dump bodies.

I sure hope you were joking around; hope you were just being curious as to what would pop up on Google. Sure hope you know that nothing is ever resolved by bad acts and the results of bad acts come back to bite you in your ass every time, one way or the other.

Sure hope that you know that by contemplating murder you are not a bad person…it can be a knee jerk response to situations where you feel there’s no other option – but there always is an option that is safer and better for you.

In school? Talk to a guidance counselor or trusted teacher about who and what is hurting you so much. An adult? You have many choices, many therapists, doctors, organizations that can ease your pain and get you on the right road, safely and show you that what you feel this moment is temporary – all things change. The good and the bad change all the time and absolutely nothing stays the same.

If this is a joke, then you sure got me, but I’m not chuckling, I’m very upset.

Email me at any time if you care to discuss this question, why you wrote it and what I can do to help you. I mean it.

Hey, I came over from Susies to see what all the fuss was about. This is my first time here and I have to say, "I loved reading your posts. You cracked me up all the way down to "blog get a cat".
Youre funny and a good writer. I totally can relate to every single post that I read.... All those stupid invitations with the cards that fall out. I recently was invited to a wedding for some clients of mine. I had already sent them the cash but still got the invite for a "camp over" wedding and reception. Of course I didnt go but am wondering where the dam thank you card is. Whatever.
And blogging, ugh and commenting. I liked what you wrote about it.
Sorry your panties are in a bunch today but maybe the person was just joking. I dont even know what was said but it must have been bad to upset you so much. But thank you for making me laugh today. I needed that.

Maybe not a joke but not serious.

Perhaps this person is just searching for a half remembered line from a movie or song.

Whatever the case, I am sure that the overall effect of your blog on the hardships of the world has been nothing but positive.

Well they say that nothing bad happens that doesn't also bring something good so dashababy -- you're the good thing that came out of that creepy Google search -- Welcome!

Thanks for the nice words -- I'm glad you think I'm funny - I try to be funny and readily admit I laugh at what I write, only when it's good though...

You win the odd invitation award with the camp over wedding...egads, that's a horrid thought...

Come by again - pleased to meet you!

Ah sparklestone, your picture on my comments is always a treat...

I love the idea that someone was searching for a movie line or song lyric -- of course, makes me feel like an ass for getting upset, but also makes me feel no disturbed person is imploring people to help keep him from offing someone...

I would suspect MB that "Your panties in a bunch" might generate a lil net traffic of its own. I am now beginning to wonder why I ever used "dueling banjos and deliverance" in one of my posts.........Glad I didnt make any references to pigs, rope and Ned Beatty.

Jeff - I'm used to the weird sex searches, but this was a first time scary one..well there was the other one "teen dismember limb" which gave me the creeps too...

THat is a little weird. But sometimes people just type in stupid things to see what results they get. Like I google my real name to see stuff when I am extremely bored.

Don't let it bother you. Now if this person comes back and starts posting things that are a little you know, creepy, then I would worry.

You're right samantha...I guess I just over-reacted...that's what I get for jumping out of bed and online and skipping my coffee!

Now you're going to get even more hits about "how do I stop myself from committing murder."
I keep getting hits from folks looking for "bahraini personals." I have never even posted about Bahrain so I don't know where *that* comes from.

12:12 PM  
Blogger mary bishop said...

cb - bahraini personals is a nice sophisticated search...perhaps a new career choice for you - posting personal ads from Bahrain?

I fear you are right...that murder quote will probably live on... at least I won't have "husband turd mouth" hits ..oops did it again..oh well, let them come I say...

I think I was just jittery this morning and the murder thing didn't sit right.

You are now queen of the damned. Cursed to to walk ever more with the freaks, geeks, sexual pervs, and now even the boys from Bahrain that are lonely and would like to go out "Just for Coffee" I just loved the "Let them come" line. A condenmed woman faces the world.

Hey MB: That is a little scary but probably just a tongue in cheek search to be silly.

We bloggers can be a little wackadoo, ya know??

I too love Sparklestone's piccy. It sort of reminds me of Kramer on Seinfeld....

1:10 PM  
Blogger mary bishop said...

That's me Jeff, ready to face the pervs down...oh bring me your fetishes, freaks, flakes and dunderheads!
On chucklehead, on donder on blitzen...oh, I've lapsed into something else here...

Sparky looks like Buddy Holly to me...with a twist of Elvis and a sprinkling of Rasputin!

damn the stats huh? they are enough to drive a girl crazy. but yet.. we can't stop reading them. i'm waiting for they day that they are able to read emotions.. then we can obsess over how many laughs, cries and warm happy feelings our posts get.

Blogger mary bishop said...

Rita, wouldn't that be nice...

I like that idea...

Blogger Weetzie said...

Panties in a bunch, yeah, that makes me giggle but....I am sorry that you got something creepin you out! I would be creeped out too! I don't know how to look up what people are googling....I admit this very serious shortfall. Anyone care to enlighten me so I can be creeped out along with MB?

2:18 PM  
Blogger mary bishop said...

weetzie, it did shake me up a bit, but I'm on track now...

I have BlogPatrol.com. If you sign up for it, it tells you how many visitors to your site and where they came from..for example a google search. Then you can see what the search was that brought that person to your blog.

Visit their site, it's free and I've had no problem with it...other than reading what people are wondering about in the early hours of the morning!

3:52 PM  
Blogger Weetzie said...

thanks mb...I have sitemeter on my site which may give me that info for all I know ( such a wizard, I am) but I can try BlogPatrol even tho I am sure I will get creeped out....GLAD you are feeling less so! Thanks for the lime rickey recipe, can't wait to try it!

4:34 PM  
Blogger RedPita said...

I use StatCounter and I love it. It's also free. And addicting.

4:35 PM  
Blogger mary bishop said...

Well I can investigate new site meters or make a lime rickey - site meters? lime rickey?

Lime Rickey wins!

Plus I'm limbo low tech so I could probably never add a new on to my blog, it took me a day to put the one I have on...low tech but high on life...

Lime Ricky's good but caiphirina's better!

MB: You know all about those, right??? Powerful little treats they are.

5:25 PM  
Blogger mary bishop said...

LB - yup I'm a caiphirina fan but I'm out of cachaca...woe is me...

As it was, I ended up not making myself a lime rickey -- so now I'll wait to see what husband chooses...maybe that perfect pinot grigio that's super cold...or a Stella Artois?

Hi there! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able
to correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.

With thanks!
