But I have to say this time I was creeped out by it. Many of the photos you posted were very disturbing to me, especially the ones near the end with jewels, etc. I can't imagine the type of person that created those. At first I thought you took it all a bit too far, but then realized the impact you were trying to make. Well done!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807637131530462959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-26315781726024274812013-04-02T20:03:14.926-04:002013-04-02T20:03:14.926-04:00I guess the grandmother thing got to me.

It was a great expose of deathly decor & poignant journalism. Keep it real & Rock on Beth!

If this person thought she looked like a fool... Wow. If this person thought she looked like a fool before....she really looked like one after the second comment! Brings to mind something my dear daddy used to say; "tis better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Keep doing what you are doing, love it.WrySmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285087822079029965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-44443895830914106822013-04-02T16:01:24.490-04:002013-04-02T16:01:24.490-04:00I believe your "critic" thought it was o...I believe your "critic" thought it was ok to kill animals for survival purposes, just not for sport. My heart breaks over the killing of beautiful animals, and I hope that someday sport killing will be outlawed. However, I am appalled that she would trivialize the Holocaust as she did. There is nothing at all comparable between the slaughter of millions of human beings and the killing of animals for sport, no matter how tragic the latter is. I am sorry that you had to be subjected to this person's bad attitude and seriously inappropriate understanding of history.Neenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689663729579286694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-59286734008775111022013-04-02T14:48:44.037-04:002013-04-02T14:48:44.037-04:00Oh, deer!

I suspect that she is more embarrassed at her slowness of wit, than resentful that you published "tasteless jokes at [her] expense".
