It's Not Always a Kind World

Welcome back!

It's been a long time and I have to admit, I have missed our little blogging community....

hello?

Is anyone even out here anymore?


Instead of deleting her completely, In the Gutter went private, invitation only (and no invitations were sent, so don't feel slighted) and I did some editing to remove personal information that could be used to track us in real life.

Unfortunately, there were traces of me (and the family) smeared EVERYWHERE.

I finally realized that I really can only do so much altering without damaging the framework of this blog that I have lovingly cradled for 8 years and have to just hope that I have done enough.
Because I was not able to purge all things damning, friends and family, the world isn't the place we knew in our own childhood and our life choices could now actually be used against our innocent children; so please, when commenting, real names and identities should never be used-- that includes yours as well. Any link to us could put you in the same harm's way that we are trying to avoid.



I've been gone for a while, have I missed anything? New not-to-miss blogs? Exciting news? Boring news?

  1. Good to see you posting again! :) It seems anything involved with the internet can come back to haunt you if you aren't careful, so I understand the need for privacy.

  2. Howdy :) Honestly I have been absent from the interwebs myself. It has been well over a year. I hope all is well with you. Take care.

    1. Hi Chantal! It's been a loooong time. Are you going to pick up blogging again too? I see I'm going to need to do some catching up still over at yours :)

  3. Was happily surprised to see your blog pop up in my reader. I've been pretty inactive in the blogosphere myself the last year or two. I just went and updated things a bit the other day in an attempt to chronicle our life somewhere besides facebook. Not sure what's new and exciting in the blog community, I usually forget to check my reader for a month or two at a time and by then there's too many posts to read. But if you were posting again, I'd have a reason to check back more often. ;)

    1. Thank you Mikki, I hope you did better about getting back on in a reasonable length of time >_< Hold each other accountable?

  4. This is a crazy age we're living in, isn't it?
    I am so happy you are back! I've missed you. Of course I get to keep up with you on Facebook but blogs feel so much more intimate.
    I haven't been the best of bloggers these days either. Not enough time in the day. But I can never let it go completely.
    So good to "see" you again! :)

    1. Thank you Kat, I've missed you too. I have really missed reading and feeling like a part of your life! Wouldn't it be great if things weren't so busy?
