Well, I was thinking of all three emot...Hey Sarah:<br /><br />Well, I was thinking of all three emotional states as relatively short term -- and I was making a general statement, and not talking about anyone in particular.<br /><br />I'm getting the impression you took my words personally. Sorry, that's not the way they were meant.<br /><br />But moving back to the general, if a person is always angry, always bitching or always whiny ... well. :)<br /><br />I knew one person who would say, "I never get angry." Oh really?!?!<br /><br />To me, a certain amount of venting is good.<br /><br />And on some topics, a blog can be a good place to do it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646612.post-1110499470874680932005-03-10T16:04:00.000-08:002005-03-10T16:04:00.000-08:00I'm no whiner, and I'm not a bitch.

And if it leads to action, even better.<br /><br />Whining about stuff, OTOH, implies a certain passivity and suggests a person doesn't want to get off their keister and do something about it.<br /><br />Those would be my deep thoughts on that topic. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646612.post-1110493064397518742005-03-10T14:17:00.000-08:002005-03-10T14:17:00.000-08:00Darn.

That's not whining.<br /><br />What's better, angry & bitchy or whiny?<br /><br />Sarah "confused about what her blog readers want so is going to continue to write about whatever she feels like" MarchildonSarah Marchildonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17604609825576716332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646612.post-1110483582863577622005-03-10T11:39:00.000-08:002005-03-10T11:39:00.000-08:00Have you considered that maybe, just maybe that su...Have you considered that maybe, just maybe that suggests you have a bunch of schadenfreude-loving visitors to your blogspace? :)<br /><br />Although the blog promises a "whine-free zone," you also changed your profile slightly to read:<br /><br />Part granola, part urban princess.

Why do they keep on reading it if they don't like what you write?<br /><br />By definition a blog is a record of your thoughts, personal experiences and view of the world. Write whatever you feel like writing about and don't worry so much about what other people think. -KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646612.post-1109987170591922752005-03-04T17:46:00.000-08:002005-03-04T17:46:00.000-08:00Well, I'm going to try to not whine so much.
