When You Lose Zilla, You Have No One But Yourself To Blame

Home - by - June 28, 2012 - 23:03 America/New_York - 19 Comments

As I’ve said for a long, long time now, Zilla is a good person. I never faulted her for a second for trying to be a friend to someone she saw as down and out. But I always detected a part of her that was not fully committed to the man who will go unspoken in this post.

Zilla’s epiphany took a little time, but certain events have taken her from Eyes Wide Shut to a healthy squinty jaundiced eye.

I think under the circumstances Zilla would allow us a snarky “I told you so.”

Here’s some excerpts from her latest blog post -

As much as I am loathe to turn my back on people that I may have thought kindly of, especially if they otherwise have little else in the way of a support network, even I have my limits.

While I hate to “abandon” a lonely person or hurt their feelings, I am not interested in becoming a martyr for someone that I have only recently become acquainted with. You may think it selfish, but it is more a matter of self preservation and survival for me.

It may seem hypocritical or whatever, but I don’t care; because by the time I reach the point where I feel I must “stop the bleeding” and walk away, it is not a decision that I have made lightly or arrived at quickly.

Welcome back, knucklehead!

    Thanks, Fur! While of course YOU never left me, I have sorely missed all the iOTW friends here in the comments section, and hope a few of them might be happy to see me.
    I need to get to bed now; it has been a bad few days with the pain from my stupid diseases, but I wish you all a good night.

    Yeah, welcome back. I will name the person that she wouldn’t.

    I have continued to check out Lemmon’s blog after the vetting finally exposed his continued conning.

    He has gone silent, even through the bigggest events in recent times (the Supreme Court vote and the House contempt vote), which tells me that he has been correctly outed and he is hunkering down.

    and is it not amazing that we are able to read into a persons mind and soul by how they type letters into a computer?

    GAELIC BLESSING. . . .

    May those who love us,

    love us,

    And those that don’t love us,

    May God turn their hearts;

    And if He doesn’t turn their hearts

    May he turn their ankles

    so we’ll know them by their limping.

    Hi. Get some good rest. I admired your tenacity. I admire your ability to reach this conclusion more.

    Your compassion is to be commended and admired. But your wisdom is more important in this matter.

    I feel no need to welcome you back. You were never gone.

    My prayers go out to you Zilla, keep up the resistance…..

    Thank you, everybody. I love you guys.
    I’m still medically messed up, but in my head I am happier to be freed from all that drama.

    The “I told you so” wasn’t necessary. Give the girl a break.

    It’s OK, Creeper, it was a loving jab. ;)
    BFH has been nothing but kind to me throughout all of this, and actually all the friends here in comments have been nice as well.
