I'm probably going to get some S*** for this but when you stop being such a drama queen, you may actually have a chance at this quit.  You list as your skills as having computer "Skills"  Instead of typing all Caps like we are idiots and can't read or that you need help opening pdf files, or your soon to be inlaw has a new car, blah blah blah, get your head out of yourself, grow up, take responsibility of YOUR QUIT, we can't do it for you, only show you what works for us.  Take a look at other people who have a lot more dire circumstances than you and how they are handling it.  Your soon to be husband is going to have one extremely high maintanence spouse on his hands if this is the best you can handle yourself.  This is just my opinion and observations.

Whoa...who pissed in your wheaties this evening, Ellen?  Your bad fer sure...

I'm sorry but you all shouldn't jump on EllenMT that way either, she has her opinion, and she stated that what she was saying was such.  She wasn't being rude, she was actually being quite truthful.  I had wondered the same thing because in Dena's blog she lists herself as very knowledgeable about computers AND writing, yet was having difficulty with both so much that it threatened her quit.  And Ellen is also being honest when she says that Dena seems to have a new crisis every day that "threatens" her quit.  It may be the way Dena deals with her quit, through drama and solicitation of support.  It doesn't make Dena's quit any less legitimate but it also does not negate Ellen's observations. 

I'm going to back away from this at this point because it is not an emotional issue that I need to address nor do I wish to start a falme war.   I will take donovan's advice and not read dena's posts any more because, like Ellen, the drama and the all caps were starting to become more irritating than not and her issues are not strengthening my quit, which has been pretty positive.  I put my two cents in here because Ellen's viewpoints were exactly what I had silently thought to myself all day and I can't be a hypocrite and back away when someone else is brave enough to voice what I had only muttered. 

G'night and bon chance!

No...its one thing to post your own opinion in your own blog...but to be that rude and tactless on someone else blog is uncalled for...a private message may have been a better option...

Wow.  Peace out all.  Have a smoke free, low stress evening.
