It's very reassuring to know that I am not the only person in the world that feels this way.<br /><br />Lisa, I do agree that we are to tell the truth. My father always said, "you can tell anybody anything it's just in the way you tell them." I also equate it to a reporter that is reporting on a story. Just the facts!<br /><br />Again thanks for being so supportive. :)gensearchdebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007273108314789315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082539312425541217.post-76661869875821022952010-06-27T23:16:29.256-04:002010-06-27T23:16:29.256-04:00Well said.

I love the quip suggesting that the ancestors might not be so thrilled with the descendant....Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082539312425541217.post-72302212677223859712010-06-27T20:33:25.174-04:002010-06-27T20:33:25.174-04:00I agree completely, Deborah.

Many don't understand. Anyway, I loved your rant. Between you and me, I'd rather have my ancestors than some of the living!Barbara Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082539312425541217.post-71749917979156463602010-06-27T18:35:15.865-04:002010-06-27T18:35:15.865-04:00Oh how I loved reading your "soap box" r...Oh how I loved reading your "soap box" rant!! I was just thinking along the same lines today...even discussed it with my husband. Just this morning one relative said to me.."oh, I don't mind that you mentioned so-and-so in your blog, BUT.." Arrgh! The NERVE. YOU DON'T MIND? ("so-and-so" is grandfather to a number of descendants although he is an "illegitimate" grandfather if you know what I mean. Still he's a biological grandfather dad-gum-it-all!)This same relative also told me NOT to blog about it if I found other "ethnic" groups within the bloodline.....BIG SIGH! Just who's blog is this? Do we leave out or change parts of our history because one person is squeamish? No...we tell the TRUTH and tell it in a dignified and tasteful manner! And of course...said relative always thanks me for the hard work I do. Go figure! Thank you for allowing me on your soap box for a minute Deborah!Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082539312425541217.post-59475875620293310652010-06-27T16:23:46.588-04:002010-06-27T16:23:46.588-04:00Very well said Deborah!Very well said Deborah!Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614538259404355973noreply@blogger.com
