IT'S BACK...TELL IT LIKE IT IS TUESDAY!

I haven't done this little post in awhile so I thought this would be a good time to open it up for anyone and everyone to VENT A LITTLE STEAM. 

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:

If something is bothering you and you just can't vent to anyone you know then this is where you can let it all go.  You can post anonymously if you like.  Feel free to change names to protect the innocent.  Sometimes just putting something into words helps, just leave it here and move on.

TELL IT LIKE IT IS TUESDAY

After posting yesterday about venting I have decided to do the whole venting post once a month instead of weekly.

Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on the subject. 
I think Lori summed it up very well, she said:

Venting to someone who can give you perspective and keep you in check is a very healthy way to deal with problems. If you can vent....get it all out and leave it forever...that too is healthy. But if your venting causes you to obsess about the problem...then it becomes unhealthy. I am lucky enough to have several people that I can vent to that help me talk through a situation and then either solve it or leave it by the side of the road.


So here it is, a place to get something off your chest; to leave it 'BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD',  as Lori says.

TO VENT OR NOT TO VENT?



I WAS WATCHING "THE TALK"  (love that show, it is much better than The View )AND THEY POSED THE QUESTION,

 "IS IT HEALTHY TO VENT OR IS IT COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE?

In the past I have had a Tuesday feature called "Tell It Like It Is" where I offered the opportunity for anyone who felt the need to vent about something to just get it off their chest and leave it in the comment section.  I haven't done that in awhile and was wondering if it is something I should offer again.

So what is your opinion on venting?  Is it helpful for you to vent to someone to get something off your mind or do you think it just feeds the fire?  I would love to hear your take on this subject.

TELL IT LIKE IT IS TUESDAY

I guess it is my turn to tell it like it is.

It has been brought to my attention that some people don't think I should offer this feature on my blog.
First of all when I decided to start this once a week feature on my blog my intention was to give anyone who has some pent up frustration a way to just get it off their chest without any backlash or extra drama.

 If this feature bothers you then I would say to you:

 "If you don't like what you see on my blog then you are invited to not come back, it's as simple as that." 

You see, that is the beauty of blogging. You can pick and choose blogs that you enjoy and if you find something offensive then you just move on. If I lose followers because of this weekly feature then so be it, I can't make everyone happy all of the time and I am sure there will be people who disagree with me on this issue.
 SO BE IT!

 I am not forcing or encouraging anyone to be mean spirited and my intention is NOT to let this become a forum for ongoing personal issues between two parties.  I preview all comments and if I find something that is inappropriate then I just don't post it.  Let's just not make this out to be more than what it is people!

With that being said, whatch got on your mind?  Let's hear all about it.

Today is Tuesday and that means you get to tell it like it is.

Is there something you would like to get off your chest but can't because it would probably cause more trouble?  Well you have come to the right place.  Here is an opportunity to spill your guts and tell someone off or just vent about pent up frustration.

Feel free to post anonymously if you are afraid someone you know might read your comments.

There is something so therapeutic about venting.

So let's hear what's on your mind this week.

The Big Tuesday Reveal

I hope you are all ready to see what I have been teasing you with for the last five days.

In December of 2009, Tammy of Time Flies did a post that has been rattling around my brain every since. 
You can read that post here.

With the holiday's coming fast and furious Tammy gave us the opportunity to sound off a little about anything and everything that was bugging us.   She said we could post anonymously if we wanted to, (to protect the innocent). I remember posting a letter to two family members that were causing conflict throughout the family. After leaving this little note in Tammy's comment sections, and knowing these two would never have a chance to read it, I felt such a feeling of release.  It was great, I got to vent some steam but yet it didn't create any more drama to an already awkward situation.

I have decided to give you this opportunity weekly in my new Tuesday Feature to do just that.  It will be called:

TELL IT LIKE IT IS TUESDAY

This is not a linky party but rather a place to leave your little rant.

It could be as simple as a letter to your spouse about leaving dirty socks on the floor to a direct blast at your child's coach or even a tell-you-off to your mother-in-law letter.

So, for all of those things we can't or shouldn't say, here is your chance to sound off and relieve some of that stress.
Let 'Er Rip!
Just leave it in the comments section.  I promise you WILL feel better.
