I stumbled upon it on a Sunday afternoon when I was so completely wiped out by the prior week's schedule that it was all I could do to get out of bed all day long! I think I might add this button to my own blog. I'm a bit nervous about that after reading the previous comments, but I love the list of designers and the idea of this blog and think I need to branch out of my comfort zone a bit in my own blog (and my life where lately I spend entirely too much time in my workroom and not enough time designing and gaining inspiration in this beautiful land where I live)... so would like to get inspiration here. Thanks for listening. <br />Michelle Jamiesoon <br />Michelle Jamieson Interiors<br />www.jamiesoninteriors.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471864221681566489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350982326967242853.post-7699580898013563332010-10-12T09:58:16.239-07:002010-10-12T09:58:16.239-07:00Sorry for the double post, but I just went back an...Sorry for the double post, but I just went back and read a post from March on Rhoda's blog. It was about finding our own style. This post says a lot about the woman Rhoda is, her sense of self, her outlook and appreciation for her home and talents and her self confidence. I would recommend this post to anyone who loves to read design blogs but feels the frustration of keeping up with trends.

Always got some good ideas from her and others. There were some at GI that had BIG egos and mouths. But, Rhoda seemed to be very nice and was never labeled a troublemaker.

It was disappointing as it was not warranted. <br /><br />I think Nate's staff did not miss an opportunity, sorry Dianne. It was a pre-made "BUSINESS DECISION" 'I'm sure. <br />Lets face it fellow bloggers, If you had a decor show with a million viewers would you mention decorating blogs? I think not. <br />As for the issue of Rhoda, I think many missed the point. It's not about his or her Political Views at all and if the photo was on her Blog as stated, She must feel the same. If you do not agree with some-one's you surely do not post such an abhorrent photo! Plain and Simple, Husband's or NOT by posting it, it reflects on her. <br />Each person must make their own choices. <br />They (her and her Dh) made theirs very clear with out saying A WORD. <br /> <br /><br />I choose to associate with people who stand by their convictions not change them when it gets a little heated! i.e. deleting the photo. Too say it was in poor taste is like saying the titanic was a boat. <br />After looking at her blog (again) and after looking at her office she clearly knows the power and meaning behind a picture, even if they are about herself. <br /><br /> As A picture is worth a thousand words.<br />I wish her well but am quite frankly appalled and disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350982326967242853.post-6898648464899321962010-10-06T18:16:15.017-07:002010-10-06T18:16:15.017-07:00What a lovely guest Rhoda was.

But do feel it was not a "round" table, it appeared to be one sided and unfairly so. <br />But none-the-less I enjoyed it. <br />Regarding the other issue at hand. (obviously) <br />This was VERY WELL STATED: However, if I were someone like Ms. Moss, Mr. McAlpine, Mr Wolf, etc. I certainly would not appreciate being lumped in with someone known to publish racist material, regardless of her politics. <br />And because you all chose to promote Rhoda on SRT it reflects on your integrity too.<br /> -------------<br />RE: "THE SHIRT" . It was extremely racist and demeaning and she herself even made a joke that "OH LOOK" it was HER OWN DEAR HUBBY wearing it, as though she were proud! :( She got a lot of grief about it so THEN she deleted it (she told me so herself). <br /> I do not believe in FREEDOM OF SPEECH when it is So INTENTIONALLY degrading and demeaning and hurtful to anyone.<br />"I" do feel she "says" what-ever is needed ( & is quite good at it) but quite obviously FEELS entirely different or she would not even have posted that picture to begin with, she's not dumb! There are too many other blogs out there to frequent one with those views. <br />AND for the record if my DH even brought a shirt like that home (which he would not) It would of been in the trash immediatly or I would of stayed home before I'd of even been seen with him wearing it! Knowning it would also reflect on me! In my opinion It says a lot about a person. Sadly. <br />**AND for the record this is not against her it is my questioning her views, morals and etchic's! She has choices and has clearly stated them in my opinion. <br /><br />So Now that you know where she obviously stands, If she is SO Respected By You, then that is YOUR CHOICE. Just like being seen with her DH in that shirt and THEN having the audacity to post it, was hers. <br />I guess "I" agree with what my parents always said, You are associated with the company you keep!<br /><br />I made my choice and you make yours, then live by them. <br /><br />THIS COMMENT is intended as MY opinion. After all, Freedom of Speech works both ways" right?? <br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350982326967242853.post-55945104949149941622010-10-06T12:14:38.127-07:002010-10-06T12:14:38.127-07:00oh gaaaawd. *rolling the eyes* COME.

My point was, and remains, that I am disappointed that you all would use your venue to promote someone who posted racist, hateful things. <br /><br />It is not about politics, or President Obama (except that that was who the t-shirt had on it) and some of the other signs she posted originally with amusement and tacit agreement. <br /><br />Free speech is a protected right for us all. She should be able to post such things (or alter them later as she did) and the SRT is free to publicize her web site. <br /><br />However, if I were someone like Ms. Moss, Mr. McAlpine, Mr Wolf, etc. I certainly would not appreciate being lumped in with someone known to publish racist material, regardless of her politics. <br />And because you all chose to promote Rhoda on SRT it reflects on your integrity too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350982326967242853.post-28592018807605822732010-10-06T00:43:08.892-07:002010-10-06T00:43:08.892-07:00ok - no one is a bigger Obama supporter than me. ...ok - no one is a bigger Obama supporter than me.
