I had a few very busy days last week. Life upon life's terms intervened and I couldn't get online as is my wont. I already thought I was under stress due to deadlines, obligations; then my mother had a heart attack. An MI. Myocardial Infarction. That changed everything...again. A very heavy smack on the chops. I've been at the hospital most of the time, and things have gone well, upbeat prognosis and some fun political banter with hospital personnel of all stripes.
I logged on to dailykos and was irritated to find I'd lost my TU status. It was the final smack in the face after several exhausting days; CCU and rising to the occasion and dealing with real life...and it just pisses me off. I'm no longer trusted.
I don't subject you all to many diaries. They've gone over like lead balloons. Haha. My sense of humor is sometimes out there. But christ, I am a regular contributor, I'm not a loony, I'm a true blue Democrat, yes, I'm a Boomer, sorry, but I'm trustworthy at this blog/site/space and have been since day one when I registered back in Fall 2004 or somewhere thereabouts. I'm trusted by people who love me, by people who know me and I am a trustworthy person. IRL nobody cuts me off at a week if I haven't called.
This Trusted User thing is so insulting. Exactly when will I have accrued enough credibility with the powers that be that I don't have to be demeaned if I'm remiss in my posting stats.
How many times must I show my papers?
Sorry, end of mild rant.
