The title of the photo up top of this post is “community meeting.” Cute, yes? I also think it is fitting. Regular commenter h0tm0mma recently posted a comment about a problem she faces and I decided to make it its own post for various reasons. 😉 Speaking for myself, I love to challenge folks when they are struggling. Last I knew, Sas did too (correct me if I’m wrong 😉 ) and these kinda posts are right up our alley. Second, I think this particular issue that our commentor brought up is something that lots of folk can relate to and benefit from seeing it challenged…. so here goes…
Says h0tm0mma:
My main concern which also pertains to self-care is why can’t I comment here;

I REALLY want this lady to know, for the most part that she is not alone and I feel her, can you help me b/c my comment to that is (if she’s reading) is;
“I wanted to comment on your “I Need To Vent” post but was unable to,so here’s what I have to say about that;
Holy Heck!!!
First off, I can never, EVER know the kind of pain and distress brought on by having a child with this condition! I do, however have a Daughter who is Type1 Diabetic and I TOTALLY and FULLY hear you on the health insurance/co-pay issues!!!
I have to cram 4 ppl in a tiny room in my abusive Mother’s house b/c we got evicted, we have no car and I’ve had to push her Doctor’s appointment she sorely needs back by 2 months!
Why? No car and no co-pay money!! I also really feel you on the Government assistance thing! Makes too much? Hello? Do they even SEE how much the health insurance/co-pays are costing? It’s frickin’ ridiculous! This post really almost made me cry, I really feel a lot (but, obviously not ALL) of what you’re saying!
Having a sick child or a child with a condition SUCKS!!! Not to mention not having the necessary funds for basic living much less the extras!
My heart, soul and entire BEING go out to you! God Bless and keep your head up!”
So… why do you feel that you can’t comment at that blog? Is there some real restriction or do you just not feel that your support isn’t worth posting? Or.. maybe you’re feeling shy? LOL… you? Shy? Okay, I have a hard time imagining that, but it could be possible. So… what’s the dealy?

No, the blogger’s Daughter has cystic fibrosis and when I tried to leave a supportive comment, it wouldn’t let me get it through for some reason.
I think I need to be a “Team Member” or something. I just needed help getting the message to the lady, her name is “Kat” (heh. that’s what we call my Best-Best Friend/Sis-In-Law). Sorry for all the trouble and don’t worry, I’m workin’ on the whole IE thing and keeping up with the kiddies!
Thanks sooooo much for everything, again!
Hahahahaha… got ya. 😉 Thanks for the clarification.
