Name change
Last Update: September 07, 2016
After publishing a new post, I got positive feedback from the WA community. Everyone, thank you! When I shared the post on facebook, I got a heartbreaking review. The post, Miss Millie, was offensive to a person and let me know it. She refused to see the humor and finished the conversation with her views on the time I spend on my blog. She told me to get a real job.
I thought about what she said about the character, and I changed her name. Miss Millie is now called Miss Ruthannie. My intentions were not to offend anyone or show any disrespect to my grandmother or anyone else.
Please let me know your thoughts on the situation.
Thanks,
Patty

I would not be too quick to give up Miss Millie--it has a distinctive ring to it. You cannot be responsible if it hit her "button." At least you got reaction. Go with you gut, and not 1 reviewer.

Weird.... maybe your visitor was having a really bad hair day?
Can't comment much about it without seeing the comment? Found you on FB and gave you a friend request but I didn't see the video there or the comment.
I can think of LOTS of things to say to someone who tells you to "get a real job" - but I'll forbear as none of them are fit for tea and scones with the queen or remotely politically correct.
Chin up Girlfriend - you're not going to get thru' life without ever offending somebody, specially someone on the lookout to twist anything they can to offense. And taking offense from what strangers say is kinda .... digging in the dregs of the Find Offense Barrel anyway.

Think twice before distancing yourself from someone you know... round about now she's probably feeling Very Bad About It All 'cos you obviously didn't disrespect your Grandma if your Grandma loved the skit ---- Take her out for tea if she was someone who's friendship / acquaintance you value/d :-)
As for real jobs - we all do what we need within the bounds of what we can and prefer. If you're earning or hopefully will - it's a job and you're not killing or harming anyone.
