Adios, Maria

Maria’s blog has changed status from “private” to “deleted”, so I’m guessing that she has called it quits.

If you read this, best of luck on your health, Maria! You will be missed round these parts.

  1. I never understand why people do this. Still, prayers for you and your health, Maria.

  2. Dunno what happened. Maria maintained a reasonably regular posting schedule, and as far as I know she never had any significant troubles with abusive comments. If she’d inadvertently posted some information that might have revealed her identity, presumably she could have deleted the offending information without jettisoning the whole blog.

  3. Maria, your blog was great! I was so disappointed when it changed to private. Hope you are doing all right and that you maybe decide to write sometime in the future.

  4. Not sure how to get you the music itself, but here are the lyrics. Brooks and Dunn also has a version.

    Men of a Certain Age featured the song recently….

    A bit of distortion, but you tube has it.

    And more importantly,in some way I do really love our Maria.

  6. Never read her blog. What was it about?

  7. Dave -
    Maria was a 50ish housewife in northern California who loved football, didn’t like immigration, and thought Game was infantile. Oh, she also was proud to be hairless :(

  8. The real problem with Maria and her blog was whenever she brought up Game. Whenever she did, the Game defenders would come out in full force. They were polite about it, but even the most polite response gets boring when it is repeated ad nauseum.

    @Peter

    The link you left for your blog is incorrect.

  9. She said to a female blogger, Lily, that she received threats and it’s why she closed her blog.

  10. Yikes, I missed the whole kerfuffle. I can’t believe those lounge lizards harassed Maria, of all people. I’ll miss you, Maria. Don’t let the bastards get you down.

  11. I’m really sorry to hear about the threats. I figured that since her last post was a “signing off” due to health that it was health that was the cause. In any which way, I certainly wish her well.
