This bit of depravity (via Gawker, one of my guilty pleasures) has got to be a new low. I really believe in the World Wide-Open Web, but a few common decencies should prevail, shouldn’t they?
Adventures at Midlife
msmeta’s musings on the meaning of life at middle age — and beyond.
About me
I, msmeta, am a middle-aged, middle-class, middle-brow writer, reader, wife and mother languishing in a dusty corner of the Great American West. I have spent several years lurking online, but I'm ready to join the conversation. I just hope I have something to say. I'm particularly interested in issues facing women at midlife. Look for posts on books, American culture, middle age, thrift shops, shoes, family, politics, religion and maybe even the occasional rant if I'm irritated enough.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi msmeta! Nice to meet you.
Loved your post over at Midlife Bloggers. Just dropped by to get to know you and say hi.
And regarding the above – wow. I mean, they’re right of course, but it is a little bit like the Gawker calling the kettle black, no?

Thanks! I realize Gawker isn’t exactly the guardian of personal privacy, but I was interested to note that even THEY were offended by that post!

My friend Nanette replied with this:
Hi msmeta- I found the most interesting blog and thought you’d enjoy reading it. It’s called indexed.blogspot.com . She is part writer part pop culture addict. She writes all of her thoughts on index cards in a form of a graph and puts one on her blog everyday. Her indexes about weight are really funny. Have a good one,
Nanette
I have seen that blog, Nanette, and it is really fun. She’s featured frequently at Freakonomics at the NYTimes.
