Yes, I seem to be walking a fine line — just trying to speak honestly from a place of pain and witness, while the internet demands sides, slogans, and scapegoats.
Even a quiet, thoughtful post can become a lightning rod if it dares to sound human in an inhuman time.
The irony isn’t lost on me. I didn’t bomb Iran. I don`t kill children. I just posted a recipe. But that seems enough these days to invite a barrage.
I’m still figuring out how much to engage, and when to step back. But support like yours reminds me I’m not entirely alone out here. So thank you again.
Thanx. The Missiles are nothing compared to the hate mail I have been getting all day, wishing for my death without knowing me, and gleefully wishing me to suffer like the children I have killed in Gaza.
Stay safe. Our prayers are with you all.
Thank you, Diane. That means a lot.

Cripes. That is ridiculous. I hope you are ignoring those kinds of readers. They should take up their issues with Netanyahu, not you.
Just as you had nothing to do with the bombing of Iran, and now they are trying to bomb you, it seems.
I know, I shouldn't try to be logical.
Thanx, Diane. Who would have thought that a blintz could spark so much emotion. I wrote blintz and got blitzed. Go figure…
Thank you, from all of my heart.
Stay safe...
