Anniversary
I've been writing this blog for a year or so now. Seems to me like a good time to evaluate whether or not to continue. I've enjoyed writing some times, others felt like homework. I had thought this would be a place to express some stuff I can't say, but since most of my readers know me in real life, that's not happening. What do you folks think? Keep blogging? Drop it before I start to repeat myself? Start a new, anonymous blog?

מזל טוב! יום הולדת שמח!
Only write when you enjoy it, not when its homework. You have some interesting and often insightful or amusing insights here, I hope you continue to write.
Start an anonymous blog if you really want to open up but not to the public you know, but personally, I think that should be known to hubby too. (and I think couples who go shopping together [who dont argue in the store - that is not wise] are cute, especially after 17 years!)
new blog with spicy stuff-this si getting boring
since a few of my readers also know me in real life I can't post things that people wouldn't flip out about. I think an anonomous blog is an excellent idea. And you can keep this one on the side for good measure.
DMJ, your idea of spicy stuff isn't the same as everyone else's.
Hi Laya, I did a google search to see if my blog (which is new) comes up and found yours. Not too many of us who spell our name this way so I had to say hi.
You'll make the right choice about ending this blog or starting a new one.
All the best!
Aunt Laya
happy anniversary! do what you feel is best. if you feel like writing, write!
You've kept it up for a year, which is long in blogworl, so my guess is that you enjpy it much more than you're willing to admit.
I fear you'll miss it if yous sttp.
Start a blog anonymously, write about whatever you feel like, when ever you feel like it. Dont worry about what anyone else thinks, this is your place. Write what you feel, happy, sad, mad, blah anything. Dont tell anyone you know the link. You may or may not have comments, but at least its theraputic to get it out. Also a good way to meet fellow bloggers with same ideas or interests.
Some of my friends know I have a blog, but none know the addy, its not their business. Lol...Im better at typing than handwritting.
Oops, I hit enter before I was done, You have a nice blog here, keeping it wouldnt be a bad idea either.
I don't think you can truly say what you want in a blog your husband and kids read. What you get then is a counter blog culture, where you sister, husband, kids, fathers, etc. all have their own blogs. I know from these things.
On the other hand, blogs are how I find out what my kids are thinking and who my husband is e-associating with and important things like just how much he wants an widescreen HDTV.
The blogiverse is a strange entity, where no one is exactly who they appear to be and you are never alone. If I were to start another blog I don't think I would let anyone know who I was.
I think you should continue. I've read some of your posts and they are quite interesting. And I don't know you!
The votes are in. I'm going to keep on blogging, as soon as I have something to say.
Hi! to Amishav, whom I really haven't met.
thanks for your detailed comments on my latest post-much appreciated and lots of food for thought
Just a quick question to the ladies: I love entertaining and wanted to have peopel over for Saturay lunch or for a light refreshments (kiddush) but my wife refused. She said now in the middle of all this passover cleaning, this is crazy. What do you think? Is she being reasonable?
Treppenwitz had a good point about anonymity here:
"I go back and forth on this issue (because time travel is such a pressing issue), but if I had it to do over again I would still probably be completely 'out'. I've found that the occasions when I've truly longed for the expressive freedom that anonymity would provide are usually the times where I want to say something really irresponsible or really hurtful. I truly believe that if I had the opportunity to do either of those things on a regular basis it would slowly blacken my soul.... and I'd end up like any of the trolls who spew their anonymous filth all over the blogosphere. Being 'out' forces me to act responsibly (most of the time, anyway)."
