Remudamom Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 I think she's classy enough to either ignore it or laugh at it.

But I don't want Ree to get mad and decide blogging is a thankless task. At least not until I get those recipes. No worries....this kind of thing is more advertising for her book than damaging to her blog. That blog is worth big bucks now, I doubt she will be concerned about a few jabs by a fellow blogger.

Guest Dulcimeramy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 It is funny, except when I remember that Ree invited this woman to her home and treated her like royalty. I don't know how they fell out but they used to be friends. The comments prove pretty succinctly that Rechelle is not joking.

When you realize that Rechelle is not joking, suddenly it looks a little like creepy obsessed cyber stalking. That's exactly what I was thinking. The Barbie theater *could* be funny, if it was a parody done out of love/friendship. But Rechelle's comments are clearly mean, bitter, and spiteful. I cannot laugh at her blog entry. I used to read Rechelle's blog, but she's no longer the warm, loving, funny blogger she used to be. I don't know what happened in her life, but the change is sad.

The photos and liners were sort of funny and I assumed it was sisterly ribbing - the kind of things I can imagine my beloved college roommate doing to me, but then the comments would be really clear about me being awesome:) No intent to harm. I didn't read the comments last night and when I did, they gave me the creeps. Ree is always so open spirited, warm and funny in a kind way. I found this blog mean spirited on second look. I will stick with Pioneer woman. Who needs ugliness? I wish I hadn't looked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I don't like people being mean and nasty. And these posts are nasty. There is a real person behind the Pioneer Woman. The PW blog is not the person. The blog is a persona, an entertainment vehicle. I think it is a complicated process to blog about and sell your own life (looking at you dooce and PW). Philosophical question: Are the Barbie doll posts attacking the PW blog or the woman who is Ree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I can't imagine that Ree does it for the money.;) I'm not going to look at the other blog after reading some of these comments because I don't like people getting made fun of. It's the reason I can't watch most reality shows - it's almost like I feel other people's pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplain Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I imagine Rechelle will be along anytime now. Surely she monitors her blog traffic and will find her way to this thread. I do wonder what happened to make her so angry. And I wonder what it takes to make someone feel the need to air a grudge in public, for months on end. If she were my friend I might suggest yoga or meditation. However in this case it might just make it worse, because it would probably remind Rechelle of Ree's yoga pants. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a rebel that way. Then I saw someone post about crash potatoes. And I'm done for. I'm in love. Beef and snow peas for dinner the other night. Sesame noodles for lunch today.

You need to go back and find out how Rechelle's visit to PW's really went.....it's hilarious, and I sure wouldn't use the word 'royalty' to describe it. She's a very funny writer that has found her niche, and she's very honest in her feelings towards Ree. IMO, PW has not always been squeaky clean to all, no matter what you feel about her as a blogger. There's a blogger named Heather who was shafted about a homeschooling column, tho many here probably know that episode. I think the net is plenty large enough for those two amusing bloggers who cater to their audiences, obviously. I don't need to whoa right there, pardner. I already read all about the visit at the time it occurred, at Rechelle's old site and her sister's site, AND last night I read the recent version on Rechelle's new blog. I'm not even a fan of http://www.pioneerwoman.com, but if I were Ree, I'd be considering a restraining order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) I watched the clip for Pressure Cooker. Love that documentary. Then I read the rest of the page, but I didn't know what I was really supposed to be reading. Pressure Cooker made me cry, not laugh. Such amazing kids and a devoted treacher. (That can't be what I am supposed to read, aren't hsers always saying teachers are bad and evil people). So kept scrolling, not sure what I was supposed think was mean, but funny. Mrs Stevenson, the culinary teacher? <scratches head> I don't read PW, so I thought that was Lucille Ball or something. The chocolate facotory episode came to mind. So I had to come back here to get some back story because I didn't get it. What was funny? What was mean? Didn't get it. At. all. (I thought the photograhy was good). Later, I poked around the blog and found this: --Ayelet tells the story of her husband standing in line at a coffee shop with their baby strapped to his chest in a front pack. A perfect stranger comes up to him and compliments him for being a wonderful father, yet ALL HE WAS DOING WAS STANDING IN LINE HOLDING THE BABY! He wasn’t even using his ARMS for chrissake! The front pack was doing all the work! Think about it. What does a woman have to do for a perfect stranger to call her a wonderful mother? She would have to be making a homemade triceratops Halloween costume from an old quilt and found sheet metal, while baking bread over an open fire, while helping a child with trigonometry homework, while volunteering as a playground attendant for the kindergarten classroom while scrubbing the wood floors in the living room with a toothbrush ALL AT THE SAME TIME! And EVEN THAT MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH! -- Spot on! A new blog to read. :) I'm a fan. Edited November 11, 2010 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Now I'm even more confused. Who's Ayelet? Must be someone in Rechelle's life. Boy you opened a can of worms this morning....hee hee. FTR, I like PW and I think she is a smart cookie to have marketed herself the way she has. She also has the grace (business smarts?) to not respond to petty mean spirited blog entries. I have quit reading her blog though.....it has gone full circle for me and is a little repetitive now. I was however, just last night, thinking of a recipe of hers that I want to make for my new husband....Would LOVE to have her cookbook.

If someone sounds bitter and mildly deranged (possibly "deranged" is an exaggeration), we must think so because she isn't a Christian? It can't be that we think so because oh, I don't know, she's bitter and mildly deranged? At least I am sufficiently open-minded to recognize that atheists and Christians can be bitter and deranged. I used to read this woman's old blog, back when it was called The Country Doctor's Wife or something like that. I did not recognize it until I got waaaaay into it today. She sounds like a different person. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
