I woke up to my bberry making the most awful beeping noise this morning thanks to SHS.

I made the two mistakes. 1. Connecting the SHS gmail account to my bberry so I can get automatic updates and 2. not turning the sound off on my phone before bed (like always). Every single email that’s ever been sent to SweetHomeStyle came crashing into my phone at 5am, beeping along the way. Adding to that, I’d put my phone in a sweater pocket and stuck it in the closet last night and you have me rummaging around, half blind and dead tired, pulling everything out of the closet and into a pile on the floor looking for the effing phone.

BTW, most of the SHS mail is hatemail (go figure) by people who take this a little too seriously (ie “Why didn’t my submission get published yet?! I just sent it in 2 hours ago!! Why haven’t you posted it?! You have time to post text messages so post my $&*$#@ picture!!!” and stuff).

It’s only fitting  to wake up to that at 5am, right?

there are many of us who appreciate what you do for us.  sorry that a few a**holes don’t get the premise, concept and time constrictions you have in place.  but for those of us that do…well, you are doing a GREAT job.  keep it up and THANK YOU!

we appreciate you .. I hope you know that. I hope people know that it’s not just you posting either .. jeeze people.

Thanks. :) I know ya’ll appreciate it and everything…it just gets really frustrating sometimes. For some reason, I think some people think I’m just sitting at home posting SHS photos all day and ignoring their emails. Like I don’t go to class full time and work full time and party. Lol.

First, I hate bring SHS business to my personal tumblr, but I do want to respond to you so I guess I have to.

Second, breathe.

I copy and pasted all of the members names and then removed everyone who had contributed within the last three months. I may have over-looked your name when deleting contributors. That’s how I dare to put your name on that list. You can blame my mid-term induced brain fog for that one. That and the fact that the original list included somewhere around 200+ plus names that somehow manage to blur together. Your name was removed from the list the second time it was posted. Every time the list has been posted since, your name is not on it.

Seriously, I don’t expect anyone to be on SHS 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Hell, I’m not on it that much and I own the place. Lol. People (hopefully) have lives outside of Tumblr/SHS/the Internet. The list is just a way to give a heads up to the people who joined over three or more months ago and haven’t posted since and to clear up the names of contributors that is on the front page of SHS.

I’m not removing you. I know that you post when you can. Like I said, I don’t expect anyone to post all the time or all day. I just want to get rid of people who don’t post so that I can open up membership to people who will.

If your name is on this list, you have one week to post or be removed from the group.

How dare you put my name on that list.  How dare you.  I frequently contribute to that group, at least once a day, so why the hell am I on that goddamn list?  Is it because I’m not on it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?  Is that it?  Because let me tell ya: I have classes to worry about.  I have a family to take care of.  I have a life.. most of the time.

Do I want to be removed from the group?

Hell no. If anything, being a member is a goddamn dream come true.  If I wanted to be removed from the group, then I would’ve:

• Left the group already, OR
• Not have bothered with this rant

Ah-duh.

Forgive my 10-minute spam of gorgeous bedrooms; it’s just because I don’t want you to assume that I have done absolutely nothing for your tumblelog.  I am very much dedicated to Sweet Home Style, so please don’t say I’m not.

Now if you will so kindly excuse me, I have a midterm study guide to perfect.

Good day to ya.

[There were more names on the list.. way more.  But you get the idea.]

It’s saddening how many people are joking and/or making rude comments about this Falcon/balloonboy story. You don’t have to think his parents are the best in the world or that it was a good decision for them to have a hot air balloon unattended where a kid could reach it but seriously…someone’s kid is missing, you guys. A six-year-old. Let’s be human for a second.
