Blog Break

In Moderation

2009-10-11T09:27:12+02:00

I've been asked to write a post to let Anna (ABE-unlimited) know that her blogfriends miss her and hope that she's OK.

So Anna, if you're reading this or if you're a blogger and have any news of/from her please keep in touch.

Thank you

There's No Escaping It.

2009-09-22T19:06:53+02:00

I've tried and tried to keep upbeat on blog, but there's no escaping the fact that I'm feeling flatter than a tyre that's just run over a stinger. I don't know why, but I can assure you that it's not blog-related.

I need to take some time out. I don't know how long I'll be gone - it could be days, it could be weeks, but I'm going to have to take a break for a while.

Take care of each other, folks, and I'll see you all when I get back.

CD's blog seems to have been deleted. I am sure she was here before I went on my blog break.

Does anyone know where she went and if she's ok?

Missing

2009-07-09T06:42:31+02:00

It would appear that another one of our bloggers "denzil85" has gone off radar.

This is just a little note to wish him well.

Take care wherever you are and if possible please let someone know that you're ok.

Does anyone know what's happened to Gordon's blog? He's also known as NotAnotherBlogger.

He often wasn't able to blog and recently has focused more on what he could find on the web about his illness, but every once in a while he came back to BCUK. Now his blog is still there but empty.

A chance to start again.

2009-01-11T13:44:32+01:00

Dear friends,

Time has come. I vowed to start again, and I got my chance. Well, I got a chance. The Berlin wall is safely up, and Lucrezia Borgia must go.

Thank you. You have been an immense source of strength in my darkest times.

Many of you (like me) have been concerned about the lovely Kiki. Here's a snippet of news from her:

As you know i came from the Hospital only last week, feeling week and a bit sad about what they diagnosed me, but iºm fighting it, plus i'm recovering, yet, but yes at home now doing the treatments at home too..well some i need to go to the Hosp. to do them.

That's why i haven't blogged, and yet after arrived from the Hospital , because i'm recovering, a bit down BUT yes now i start to feel stronger. Though today i have to be seen by a Doctor at 8ham.
Anyway lets hope i don't need ops.

PS. I forgot my pw for log in, but soon iºl ask them another because i would like and want to re'start blog again now i can. Lots kisses and ((((((( HUGS )))))))

Kiki

Message to Kiki - we're all looking forward to seeing you blogging again.

Cut Backs

2008-10-20T18:20:12+02:00

I've been trimming my friends' list as it was getting rather long. I have generally deleted bloggers who I haven't been in touch with recently. This seems the fairest way of keeping my list at a manageable number.

If you've been deleted and still want to be included please send me an invitation.

Shoelaces Undone!

2008-10-18T16:46:12+02:00

I've been asked to post another farewell post:

Marian, I left my goodbye note, thanking my friends on blogbreak, but as I deleted the entire blog, my note has gone as well. Could you post a short message? 'Shoelaces' (sillyme.blog) has come undone. I am sorry. I shall miss everything and everyone here.

EnamelSlide is gone

2008-09-15T09:34:34+02:00

Ena was a funny blogger but she has been very quiet over the past couple of months. Her blogs were still there, though.

The only way I noticed that she has left BCUK is because she transfered ownership of the FatFighters blog to me.

Too bad that she's gone without a word. Hope she's alright.

Or does anyone know more than me?

So I'm having a break for a bit.

Back soon.

An Explanation

2008-07-14T20:09:44+02:00

Following the comments on Mariannes post about bloggers that burn I thought I owed an explanation as a serial blog deleter myself - to be fair I won't lose contact with my friends and have remained as a member of my groups on the whole, my dear friend jenray has kindly agreed to babysit Artemis Art for me for the time being.

Why did I delete my blog?

Certainly not to get attention, in fact one of the reasons I didn't post here is because I felt it would seem like that's exactly what I was trying to do.

I genuinely didn't feel that people would take much notice and I wanted to just go quietly, remaining unsure whether to return to blogging properly or just maintain my friendships and stay as a member of my groups.

I have been with buk now for quite a long time (2 years?) and have burned more than one blog -partly because sometimes I feel I have outgrown them and it's a kind of metamorphosis, a transformation and changing my blog is like beginning all over again which for me is quite nice, necessary even, it's probably just in my nature, i also change houses quite a lot, but not husbands

This time there were other reasons - To give the reasons why would not be appropriate, I did have conversations with particular friends about why and was advised to think about it and so, yes, I guess deleting was a knee jerk reaction this time around. It has been a difficult year for all kinds of reasons and sometimes people are unable or unwilling to go public with certain aspects of their lives so I don't like to judge others too harshly and of course my take on this is mine alone I have no idea why others do delete and then leave without a goodbye but I guess they have their reasons, we don't know and can't make assumptions. I am posting here because marianne has asked for explanations and this is mine for what it's worth. I am deeply sorry if anyone felt let down because I deleted my blog -like I say I'm still here although I almost disappeared into the ether until a friend asked me to re-consider -I think to be honest that to assume that anyone would take much notice would seem incredibly arrogant of me, in my mind other people have their own lives to consider and wouldn't necessarily give me or my blog a second thought -and why should they?
In short it has not been a great year, and I'm sure for others to and maybe that is one reason some have gone without warning. I have not been my usual self, there are many things I don't wish to talk about and to be honest I feel like an idiot, a complete prat for deleting yet another blog. But...I know my friends will understand and make allowances for that and forgive me for being so irrational lately. I still keep popping in and making comments on some of my friends blogs, but I can't stay logged in for more than a few seconds although it's been better today so hopefuly this comment will make it onto buk!

Hugs x

Burning Bloggers

2008-07-11T18:54:15+02:00

Right let's try and understand what makes bloggers burn their blogs?

I'm sure we've all lost friends without warning and been left wondering if they're OK and that's primarily why this Blog was started.

Some bloggers slip away quite gently without a ripple on the Blog Sea whilst others choose to go in full "Titanic" style causing tidal waves and aftershock.

Perhaps those of you who have been "Blog Burners" in the past might be able to give the rest of us some insight. We'd like to hear from you - in particular:

a) what went through your mind at the very moment you hit that destruct button?
b) do you regret doing it?
c) was it a knee-jerk reaction?
d) any other comments/reasons/explanations etc........

Finally if you do decide to leave BCUK please think about the friends you leave behind and let them know you're OK.

Thank you.

Marian

Hi everybody
Does anyone here know why Usksider isn't blogging?
A few of us have noticed that he hasn't blogged for a while.
There is probably some very good reason but it would be nice to know that he is OK.

LONEMUM - a message from!

2008-04-29T20:35:15+02:00

I've received the following message which I've been asked to post on "Blog Break".

Thank you Lonemum for letting everyone know that you're OK.

Hello Loveys.....Lonemum-as-was here....
Sorry to disappear so rudely and without any warning.....I completely and utterly flipped out over something going on here and went into self destruct mode and the blog got it.......................I actually felt like completely self-obliterating............ but knew that wasn't a good idea..........y'know the one......
Needless to say the great flip out was to do with Tinks................I am ok now....but I'm not sure what is going on in Tink's head .......am kind of thinking "Anything might happen" which is somewhat nerve-wracking....plus I've got to put up two shows this Thursday and haven't finished ANYTHING so have been manically working in between tip toeing round the girl and so on.........
Hope you are all well and I'm thinking of you lots and popping in to have a wee nosey in me tea breaks but not had much head space to know what to say just now..................but realised if I don't say SORRY for disappearing now it might just drift and drift..........
Take care and big love to y'all, I am missing you........and maybe when this week's panic is over I'll come back re-invented......
Lonemum-as-was

Note to bloggers - please pass this news on!

Deleted Friends

2008-04-18T12:16:46+02:00

Hello, this is just to say that I have deleted a couple of friends from my blog lists recently and that is purely due to there being no activity whatsoever for a very, very long time, it also has to be said there was never any real connection, nothing personal but perhaps different interests etc, if you decide to start blogging again I would love you to invite me again hope all is well x

Be Kind to Your Blog Friends

2008-04-18T09:45:00+02:00

.................. WELCOME TO BLOG BREAK ..................

Whether you're planning an extended break from blogging; moving to another blog; reducing a lengthy blogfriend list or if you are leaving BCUK for good, please remember to let your blogfriends know!

Simply post a quick message here or ask a blogfriend to post a message here on your behalf. Remember to "tag" your message with your user name.

There is absolutely no need to explain why.

It maybe that you simply need to reduce the size of your friends' list but don't want to upset anyone. Why not post a message here letting everyone know? Once again remember to "tag" your message with your username.

On the other hand, if one of your friends is "missing" simply check for their names in the "tags" list on the right and click to read their message. Where appropriate, you can also leave them a "goodbye" comment.

Please treat this blog with respect.

Thank you..

I Need Some Me Time. All To Myself.

2008-04-17T20:22:22+02:00

This is me time
To do what I gotta do
So please just let me be
I've always been there for you

Yes it's me time
I owe you no apology
You've had nearly all I've got
Now I must be on my way
Because it's me time
I just wanna be on my own
I'll do what's best for me
So I need to be left alone

Yes this is me time
I just need to do some thinking
Some peace and tranquility
You know I won't be drinking
For it's me time
You can't see it in my eyes
I need some time for me
I've always avoided goodbyes

This is me time
I can deal with the physical pain
It can't really hurt me
I think I'm just staying sane
This is just me time
I've gotta think of number one
Instead of everyone else
To undo all the knots I've done

I just need some me time
Do things I feel I need to do
I've nothing left to give
It isn't me this time it's you.
I need my me time
I am trying to make you understand
That it's not easy being me
So with a virtual wave of my hand

this is me time,
time for just myself
I'll be in touch some day
when I'm in better health
This has to be me time
