Something I don't understand:

Who are these people who read my entries, and immediately go over to Grant's formspring and ask him questions I would have no trouble fielding? Am I that scary and intimidating that I need some sort of pr manager for people to approach? I allow anonymous comments here. I reply quicker than he does. Or is it that people are perceiving him as more honest than I am, and so they figure they'll get a better answer? I don't get it.

After my last entry, within the hour it was posted, he got the question, "Did Ananda, Aaron and Isaac go to the dentist, too?" (answer: they've been before and had no issues - Jake and Elise never had and had obvious issues so I got them in as "emergency referrals" from the insurance company since Jake was in pain and Elise had visible decay. The other 3 will have their cleanings/checkups in a couple of weeks).

It is SO WEIRD to me that someone would read my entry, where there is an easy link to leave a comment, and want to know that, and go over to another website to ask him that question *scratching head*.

This happens a lot; pretty much anytime I post anything, he gets a bunch of questions referencing it within the next 24 hours. Often, I have things I would love to say in response to them. Instead I shrug in bafflement.

*me shrugging in bafflement*

That kind of shit is why I don't post many public entries. Or allow anon comments. I just cannot deal with the public, especially the nasty internet public.

Oh, he can keep the nasty internet public - I just delete anonymous comments that are flagrantly insulting or obviously trying to start shit with no possible resolution. So it makes sense that the trolls have figured out they can be engaged over there.

But there seem to be a lot of people who are not trolls at all, like our family, etc, asking questions that are just out of curiosity - and I can't help but wonder...why...they go over there for that.

LOL I had to go over to FS...just to see what the trolls had to say.
I find it amusing to say the least how people can be so petty and crass...especially when you are so honest about your life. Anyhow I hope both Jake and Elise get thru this NOT hating dentists as much as I and most people do ...AND I hope Aaron's arm gets better soon:)
Have a great weekend:)

Hi!

[noelove.livejournal.com]

a lot of people are really fucking stupid. That's what I think. Its like, should you even being asking a question anonymously if you can't ask it with your user name or real name?

That's the thing that gets me the most.

[keilababe.livejournal.com]

I totally don't get why they would take the time to go to his lj to ask a question about something you posted on your lj. Weird. I don't mind when he responds to my comments on your lj though. I think you should do another video formspring session though. That rocked.

[greenfairy8504.livejournal.com]

I bet it's because they have super secret internet crushes on Grant and are dying for a reason to commence dialog with him. *nods*

[brighidh.livejournal.com]

ditto, this, yeppers.

[altarflame.livejournal.com]

Haha, I find this option hilarious and awesome.

[its-jemma.livejournal.com]

because people are interfering weirdo's lol.

Is it their fecking business if you took your other kids to the dentist?!

[mamiesgoo.livejournal.com]

not saying this for sure, BUT I have to wonder if we don't have the same formspring trollup, after I left a comment in babyslimes entry about the movies I had someone blowing up my formspring about how DARE I let my kids act horrible in the movie theater, when that's not at all what I said, or what they do. I've also had MANY super simple questions that if they read my lj they'd find the answers to, or could just ASK (like "does your sister live with you, what ages are your kids?? etc)

blah makes me question who is out there reading a little more.

[brighidh.livejournal.com]

I would have issue with what I'd assume are other wmen trying to connect with my husband on mundane (aren't I so caring?? See how I know about your life??) info/questions like that.

They'd get booted, but then, you don't filter your friens, right?

This is off-the-cuff, knee-jerk response and I haven't read your other comments, but that was my first gut reaction.

My sister says, "go with your gut..."

[altarflame.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's what it is? It doesn't really bother me if so. I feel like Grant isn't at the point I am of just being "done" with trolls; he is still willing to engage and still has fun with it, so they go to him. It's the non-trolls that make me wonder.

[babyslime.livejournal.com]

No one is actually stupid enough to believe that shit. It's like the people who "freaked out" at how filthy that makes me when I said I only showered once every 2-3 days. They go for whatever ridiculous, unrealistic reaction is likely to get them the most attention and run with it. You have to think about it in their terms... or better yet just ignore it completely and get Grant to STOP LETTING THAT SHIT THROUGH. You know they're sitting there masturbating/refreshing all night.

Cue, "omzgzzz0rz does bbyslm really think she's that funny??" questions on your Formspring in 3...
