Another thrilling edition of ask Hey You

Didn’t you used to have ads? Yes, I did.  In the last few months my hits have really jumped, which is YEAH! Awesome.  (Why do you new people not comment?)  This also means my ad revenue had a sudden jump.  The good people over at Google Ads….suspended my account so they would not have to pay me.  Needless to say I was a wee bit pissed.  I have been asked to be part of another ad network, I just need to do a few more things first.  Details to follow some other time.

I read a lot of different blogs, and wanted to tell you I appreciate you not cursing, that is rare even among mommy bloggers! This is not really a question,  but you are welcome.  I have never really said the “big two” more than a handful of times, and have tried to curtail any words I do not want my two year old saying.  (we were watching Dirty Jobs while caring for my parents dogs at their house last week, and Mike Rowe said, “So this is Gourd Sex.”  The Son immediately said “Gwod Sex! Gwod Sex!”  I told him the man on TV said gourds are six, but I do not think he believed me.) Sorry I got sidetracked.  What was I talking about?  Cursing, right, so my parents never really cursed, and neither did my close friends, or husband, and truth be told….I think it is a little tacky.  There ya go, I just called most of the blogasphere tacky.  I didn’t mean it! (or I at least did not mean to let you know that is what I thought.) Please still be my friend.

You never told us how you finished weaning off of Lexapro. Um, yeah.  There is a reason for that.  I gave up.  The Husband and I had sorta kinda decided that I would come off of Lexapro by August 31, The Son’s second birthday, and then we would open up discussions about whether we wanted to start thinking about another baby.  Mid-August we talked about it, and both agreed we were just not at all feeling another kid any time soon.  We did not say never, but definitely not in the next year or so.  Since there was no longer a reason to worry about being on an SSRI, while pregnant, it just seemed stupid for me to be having panic attacks or generalized anxiety when there is a perfectly good way to prevent them.  At 2.5 mgs I was having horrible, horrible withdrawal, at 5 mg I was still feeling worried about stupid things, so I am back to my original (yet still very small) dosage of 10mg of Lexapro.  That Lexapro Lexplains it category on this blog is not going anywhere anytime soon.

I am your friend, I think, so why do you not talk about me, or write me a birthday post or something? I do not post pictures or names of people who I am not either related to, or that have told me specifically that they do not mind their images on the blog.  I have tons of friends whom I LOVE, but I just can’t write about every single person who is special to me, and if I wrote a birthday post for everyone then that is all this blog would be.  The Huckablog is supposed to be my therapy, not a greeting card.  But I still love you, really I do.

What ever happened to the Read it or Rant posts? Short answer? It started to feel like homework so I quit.  Long answer, they were making me feel stressedwhen they were late, and no one seemed to be reading them anyway so I quit.  There has been some interest in starting an online book club, and I will totally provide that for people on a separate page here, I just do not want to be the only one participating.  If I can get a volunteer to recommend a book  and then write a review, I will post it and moderate the comments.

I do enjoy your blog, but you have offended me with some of your God/prayer/Christian type posts.  Can you lay off for those atheists like me out there? Can I lay off being a Christian?  No, I can definitely not lay off of that for you.  I am sorry if you felt offended, but as egocentric as it may sound this blog is about me, the real me.  You will never hear me mocking other faiths, and I even have a lot of respect for different beliefs, but they are not what I know to be true.  My faith is an enormous part of who I am, and while I do not expect everyone to agree with me, I do hope that you can understand why I will not censor any relgious posts I may write, I just could not live with myself if I “hid my light under a bushel.”
