Firstly... a vent!!!!!

(it has occurred to me that if I'm ever famous, I may NOT be able to handle the public criticism from strangers!!!)
I was just on my friend, Jane's, blog. Her and her partner, Cam, now live in PNG...
Jane wrote an entry about getting a phone and how excited they both were... I put up a post in which I mentioned that I could relate to her excitement but in our case it was a Laptop and how nice it is when far away from family to finally be able to communicate again.
Then someone put a note saying nothing but..
"I like how your friend Taliesen K Farmer, has written about the simple things like getting a laptop in New York city... That must have been really difficult! I am very happy that her sea change from Australia to New York has not been to difficult!!!
Earth to Taliesen (zoolander voice)... Cam and Jane are in PNG... getting a phone is a big deal."
Now, I'm not going to use my friends blog to defend myself, but damned if I won't use mine!!!!
To see the entry's that led to all this go to:

Now, I know this dude has never been to our blog. However, IF he HAD, he would see that Daniel and I have had a HARD year. One filled with uncertainty, doubt, fear and HOMELESSNESS!!!!!!! This is NOT the kind of year that Cam and Jane have had (despite Cam's malaria - that must have actually really sucked - sorry Cam). But COME ON!!!!!! OK - I recognise that in PNG, getting a phone is a big deal.... SO IS GETTING A LAPTOP WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY OR HOME IN NEW YORK CITY!!!!!
For ALL of you out in Cyberland... This new age of technology means we have almost all human knowledge at our fingertips. Be KIND and try and find as much of it as passable BEFORE you condemn someone for their actions or words!!!!!
OK... I love you all.
Talk soon.
