DANG!
The headline in your email caught my eye so I wanted to read more and clicked through. What do I get? A VIDEO with a guy rattling off a bunch of stuff. Yes, I did fast forward to see/hear the speech, but why do I need someone else’s opinions about what was said? Am I not capable of forming my own?
Sorry, Scottie. I know there are others who appreciate videos … I’m just not one of them.

Hi Nan. but why do I need someone else’s opinions about what was said? Am I not capable of forming my own?
The thing about the video is it was filled with facts. Just a guy rattling off a bunch of stuff, just like Brian Tyler Cohen, that you really enjoyed when I posted him. He just spouts off a bunch of stuff.
Yes Nan, you can have your opinions, and I really do support that. I just hope you form them based on the facts. And that is why I post what I do, to get the facts out there when there is so much disinformation and hate.
But what surprises me is you don’t like the Rational National. He is a trimmed up good-looking person with a slower speaking style, he is not into hyperbolic speech nor does he raise his voice or rant. He is almost like a news host. I would have thought you would enjoy him and his style. He seems to me in the old “just the facts, please” mode. Hugs. Scottie

I didn’t dislike the narrator. It’s just me, Scottie. I’m simply not a video person. OCCASIONALLY, I’ll find one that tickles my fancy, but it’s like finding that needle in the haystack … and getting hay fever trying to find the needle! 😁
Please don’t take personal offense. It’s YOUR blog to do with however and whatever you desire. Sometimes I just have to “complain” a little. 😛

Hi Nan. Oh I am not offended, sorry if I came off that way. I was confused. I really try to pay attention to people and I try to understand their comments. I was only saying I thought that the Rational National would appeal to you because of the many videos I post you prefer hosts like him. But it is really OK for you to not like a video, or as you say Sometimes I just have to “complain” a little And I don’t mind complaints even if they are just to vent. Recently it seems most of what I am doing on my blog is venting my own feelings. I am trying to get it under control, but it has been something building for over a year. I am hoping this last few days will help me with that. Ron’s sister is here right now which is adding to my stress, I just don’t do well with people in my home. I know that when she is gone, Ron is going to want to talk some more or push for me to get offline more. He told me the other night that he thinks a lot of the news stories I read are causing me to feel the hate and makes what happened to me stay fresh in my mind. Just as you suggested that my reading of other people’s childhood abuse was harming me also. He has suggested that he wants more than the 7 pm pause we have already agreed to and may even like me to see a therapist before being online much. We tabled that conversation due to his sister’s visit, which as I said is causing me stress.
I don’t think that such a drastic change is needed, but like I told Randy, Ron is being very soft and gentle around me, and it is like he is afraid of pushing me back to harming my self or something. I noticed this morning all the
X-acto blade tools are gone from their normal spot, and some other small changes. Like I said yesterday, he is trying to hold me and let me know he loves me all day, he moves slowly and asks. I am still not sure if I should have told him so much. It makes me feel so … damaged. I guess I can not explain it. But … well who knows, I guess we both have to work out our feelings. Hugs. Nan. And again, it is OK for you to complain, if that makes you happy. Hugs. Scottie.

If it makes me “happy”??? What a strange comment. 🤔
Just from the outside looking in as related to your situation, I think Ron is right. Listen to him.

Hi Nan. ??? Why would it be strange to want you to be happy? Or do you mean it is strange phrasing … makes you happy to complain sometimes? Hugs. Scottie

Well Nan. My point was I would like you to be happy, no matter if you need to vent at one of my posts. But when we disagree, we will tell each other. Hugs. Scottie
