Someone made a very nasty comment recently on my post about our trip to the zoo. I took a picture of Andrew and I in some hats that I jokingly dubbed "Asian hats". So, in reply to this anonymous commenter: I'm sorry if I offended. Yes, I do like and respect Asians, and have many Asian friends. Contrary to your belief, I grew up somewhere very diverse, with only a handful of white kids in my high school. And last, yes I did go to many years of college.
Some people need to take a joke and not look at strangers' blogs.
So, in conclusion, to prevent future nights lying awake worrying what a stranger thinks of me--I'm making our blog private! Email me at elysegarlock@gmail.com so I can add you to our list of invitees!

i like your blog, and if you want to make it private, that's ok and that's your decision, and if you do, I'd like to still read it (beccafoster at gmail dot com).
That being said: Don't let what other people think get to you (I say this but struggle with it myself). In my opinion, if someone doesn't have some people that don't like them, then they probably don't have anybody that really loves them either. We can't always please everyone, and we shouldn't try to. Be yourself and post what you darn well please is my opinion.
I mean this comment in the most positive way. I'm just trying to be supportive and encouraging.
Bummer! People are totally lame sometimes. Um, hello - those were clearly ASIAN hats - what else would they be? You were totally not offensive. I just think it's so weird & rude when random people post mean opinionated stuff on someone's blog they've never met.
my email is dianahulme@gmail.com - i'd love to keep reading! :)
weird. some people have no life, so they try to ruin other peoples. Love you guys of course put me on there
I can't believe you didn't tell me about this! What a lame person. I of course want to read your blog. And although I may comment on 90% of your posts, i assure you they will never be rude!
Another option is to only allow comments to be posted after you approve them. Anyway, put me on the list.

Oh, I am so sorry that happened - people are ridiculous. shea.miller85@gmail.com
I don't know you - and I'm coming out of the closet as a friend of a friend (of a friend, perhaps, ha!) But I love your bangs...can you share some styling tips?! :) What products do you use? Thanks!! saraparr@gmail.com
Why are some people so lame! I've actually had the same problem on my blog. It really bugs when complete strangers feel the need to leave hurtful comments. They're obviously total losers. Anyway, I think you and Andrew are adorable and I wanna keep reading: aubreymessick@gmail.com.
That is just rude. Tell that person to get off their high horse already. Regardless, I would love to be invited!
