I have many boys local and otherwise who are vying for My attention---begging to be seen as THE one, the perfect rose out of them all---Thursday evening I injured My neck badly---severe muscle spasms--the worst pain I have ever had---a miserable night led to a miserable next day--couldnt work, couldnt see My horses, couldn't drive to get meds or lotion, or even ice cream if I wanted it--that pain moved to My lower back--again severe spasms--heating pad and movies was about all I could stand---today, the neck is so so, but the back is in severe spasms again---I am not one to cry at pain, but this hurts like a SOB--everyone knows about it, My IM status indicates, My blog talks of it, I have spoken of it when we chat---and yet no one, not a single boy has offered a bit of help--not an errand, not an offer of grabbing to go food, get meds, not even a card, not even an e card,--this is the very thing we have discussed in other posts, would you still serve Me when...and today I feel the answer is--I guess not.
You expected people to come forth and do something altruistically for you and they failed your expectations. It's disappointing, but, this IS the age of blogging on the internet. Everyone shares their business with perfect strangers. Many of us are numb to it, the slaves included. If they're not directly in service to you, perhaps they didn't understand that your talking about the issue meant you were trying to hint at them stepping up to the plate to do something. If you posted that you asked them for help and no one obliged, perhaps I'd be more offended that they failed you. However, you've made clear that you didn't really tell any of them to do anything, nor asked for help. I can't really say that I have *any* expectation of the hundreds of people who read my blog to step forward and do something for me when I'm sick or have other issues "just because I talk about it." If I want something, I ask (or direct) and it's only of those who I have a vested interest in. Then, I think I'm justified to be bent out of shape if a friend has failed to respond to a reasonable request for assistance or a situation that they could have intervened on IF I made it clear that I wanted intervention. (Most of the time when I'm in pain, people know to stay the hell away from me!)
