R. was actually out helping direct the movers, and J. was inside and packing. I saw her outside later and she looked much better--not just physically better, but she had relief all over her face. ]]> 413268@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Jul 2006 06:41:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/21/141536.php#comment-412266 Me, too, Clavos. Thank you all for your kind words and your advice. ]]> 412266@blogcritics.org Sat, 22 Jul 2006 00:53:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/21/141536.php#comment-412256 Been there, done that, MJW; but unlike you, I never had the guts to admit it. My hat's off to you. I hope I have what it takes to learn something from your article. ]]> 412256@blogcritics.org Sat, 22 Jul 2006 00:11:46 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/21/141536.php#comment-411973 You didn't ignore a beating, you ignored some sounds that you weren't sure about. But it sounds like your conscience is bothering you. So do yourself a favor: make this about you. Make an honest appraisal of your motives and desicion-making process (based on what you knew at the time), and if you don't like what you see, change it. ]]> 411973@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Jul 2006 20:08:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/21/141536.php#comment-411828 Who hasn't struggled with the "do I get involved" or "mind my own business?" I am sure if you knew someone was getting beaten up, you would have acted. People typically do not like others meddling in their affairs, even the loud public ones. Thanks for sharing. ]]> 411828@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Jul 2006 15:17:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/21/141536.php#comment-411792 Thank you. ]]> 411792@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Jul 2006 14:30:24 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/21/141536.php#comment-411780 Very powerful and courageous article. It took a lot of guts to write this; I hope others take note and learn from it. ]]> 411780@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Jul 2006 14:19:40 EDT
