I’m confused. This hits too close to home for me. I should probably delete this before posting but I’m not because I’m so dang confused over that message. Please don't! It's good to hear about your experience with a pacemaker.

Congrats to Tracie for placing a fancy scientific word (which her "heart doctor" taught her) in there to validate her story. Bradycardia is the general term for chronic slow heart rate hence the need for a pacemaker for some (but not all) people who suffer from this. It all depends on how severe it is and how much oxygen you're lacking because of it. There is zero link to gore images. I even looked it up on JSTOR. Tracie's associating her heart condition (real) to her emotional over-the-top reactions to "gore" imagery (a scar, seriously?) and making it sound like there's an obvious scientific connection there (not real). Ugh. Talk about distortion and manipulation. 100% Tracie Claiborne melodrama as usual. Classic NPD. Anyway, time to get off my soapbox. Thanks for listening. ❤️❤️❤️ Sounds like some off shoot of Munchausen that's afflicting her...

OK, so I’m actually going to *sort of* defend TC on this. If she doesn’t want to see something on social media then yes, she should go ahead and filter that content. Because Fbk doesn’t have a way to filter content by keywords, which I have done in Tumblr, blacklisting certain tags I prefer not to see, like stuff from Hannibal Lector fandom, it is easiest to just block that person. I actually blocked or muted or unfriended several people I like IRL because they posted animal cruelty things that had details I couldn’t un-read/un-see. If I’m scrolling through my feed (which is supposed to be a happy, fun thing) I don’t want to read about people harming animals, I don’t want to see surgical stuff, I don’t want to read about dismemberment, etc.
BUT I don’t freak out about it and tell the world that they might kill me by posting a gross picture, based on my particular standard of gross which you might not know! I just quietly hide the post or mute the person who posted it and then I get on with my life. I would go out of my way NOT to make a big deal because I wouldn’t want the poster to feel bad when they did nothing wrong (even if I wished they’d not shared that particular photo).
I have been known to pass out after watching gross things, although not from looking at one picture that I could rapidly scroll by. I did almost pass out completely while Matt Damon un-impaled himself in The Martian. I felt the ick coming on and closed my eyes but the foley people were too good and the sounds got to me. Spent the next 20 minutes of the movie slumped in my seat, clammy and weak, trying to breathe deeply. Pretty pathetic. But not life threatening, and not anyone else’s problem. I take responsibility for myself but sometimes that does mean hiding friends on FBk.

The difference being did you have to make an instastory about the incident and tell everybody about it explaining yourself in great detail? Blocking takes one or two clicks and no thought and it’s done. Her love for drama is coming through loud and clear. Frankly, it’s no wonder she doesn’t cook meals. She might hurt herself or see something raw meat-ish.

I totally agree about the animal cruelty things. I've unfollowed people for that, and I won't listen to any conversations about that. I walk away and won't listen. As previous posters have said, it takes a few seconds and no drama.

Tracie I have a physical reaction when I see your food pics. I get nauseous. I really do ladies. I am not being snarky. Tracie, when the girls over here share your food pics and I really do get nauseated I should take you to task on my social media for sharing food pics? Maybe I should take the girls to task for sharing food pics. You know that's what happens in social media when you let the world see it and not practice something called privacy. People share the things you post publicly- They share scars, children being burned down in their homes or animal cruelty. When you see those things you know what you should do? TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SELF and DON'T LOOK. Side note before you all start typing I was being cheeky about you sharing her food pics. She sets herself up for that. You all want to talk about it. You have a right to talk about it. You keep sharing them. I am grown woman and know how to scroll. If I look at the food pics like a moron and I get nauseous well I only have one person to blame for that. That would be me because I didn't take responsibility for myself. Girl acts like she owns the Internet. I watched a video of a koala bear drinking from a bottle of water that was in the horrible fires in Australia. I bawled like a baby for thirty minutes straight. Then I showed it to my DH who also cried. I guess because I got upset I should go after my local news station for sharing the video. I try to be kind and understanding about everyone's situations and what is the real story vs what they show the world. This picture thing and Tracie just shows you how arrogant and insensitive she is. I have a relative that is always complaining. Actually have a few, lol. This holiday season she was complaining and acting like Tracie. My DH who is the sweetest quietest most laid back person in the world asked her "Is that all you do is fucking complain? All you ever ask is to be catered to." This latest Tracie drama reminds me of that exact scenario.

Hey, since this was brought back up, I'll add what she added to posts on Becky Higgin's instagram today. Sorry no screenshots. I copied and pasted from my laptop.
Post #1 tracieclaiborne @kristavang1 good for you. I am perpetually amazed at how seldom others stand up for someone who is being slandered and persecuted online. If it happened in person, I believe most people would jump to someone’s defense more readily but online bullies make people cower in fear of retribution.
Post #2 tracieclaiborne I love you and I love your analogy and I wish I still had hope for people to read posts like this and change their unkind behavior. Unfortunately, the only people reading this that will take your words to heart are those who live a life of self examination and growth. The rest will read it and feel defensive and make excuses for why their unkind behavior is justified. You’ll never convince the second group of people of anything, because they’ve already decided they know more than you do about everything - even how you should live your life. The hater’s mantra is, “you’re doing it wrong!” All our good thoughts and words will never heal their angry hearts. Some people enjoy being unkind and bitter. All we can do is say, “but for the grace of God, go I.”

Haven't posted here in a while. But I got to thinking about TC w/the tornadoes in TN. Sure enough, she posted that the sun was out today. Which is nice. Then she said the most anti-Christian thing I've ever heard her say. In responding to an IG comment she said:
"Everyone we love is safe so that’s all that matters. "
Isn't that that truth to too many people? Me and mine are fine, they're the only ones who "matter". No need to pay heed to anyone else who is suffering, in loss, etc.
I don't remember the part of Jesus' teachings where he said "The only ones who matter are those you love." Wasn't his whole ministry about loving and caring DEEPLY for those who are usually outside your circle of care and concern: the person w/leprosy, the tax collector, the 'fallen' woman, etc?
Don't worry. I'm sure she'll soon have some Christian-y quote up in loopy writing to remind us how much she loves Jesus.

Wow, I'm *perpetually amazed* (to use her own words) at how selfish and insensitive a human she is. And in 3,2,1 she'll be trying to explain how she didn't really mean the words that she posted. She's just so misunderstood and people twist her words ya'll.

I have a feeling the fit is about to hit the Shan.
Royal Caribbean has cancelled all cruises due to the Coronavirus including The Scrap Gals cruise, of course. All related threads in the Facebook group have had the comments turned off.
Tracie maintained that the cruise would go on no matter what when people questioned it weeks ago. She claimed that only a few people dropped out.
All these people paid $350 each to Tracie and Tiffany to cover the scrapbooking portion of the trip and allegedly the Gals have been prepping for months.
Has the “we are so blessed” magic voodoo finally run out?

I really, really, really hope they can refund all the money! Can you put insurance on these type of events? Don't judge if that was a really stupid question. I am an introvert. I don't do events like this so I don't know all the behind the scenes planning and financial implications that go with it. I had to catch up on the thread. Her tornado comment was horrific. I have no words. I am in the next state over from them. We were actually supposed to get that weather system but it moved slightly to the South. I tracked it all night. When I saw the tornado's form on radar and then long track I couldn't stop crying. Night time rain wrapped tornadoes in the "Jungle" is the worst case scenario. You feel so helpless. These are the terms I am talking about- www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints2/715/ When I chased I did chase in the jungle since it is my area. I did chase in rain wrap, nighttime because I was an idiot. I was young and eager for data. Tracie was really insensitive.

They had on the news yesterday that many small businesses are suffering because one of the common exceptions for business interruption insurance is ‘pandemic’ - so they’ll have to read the fine print on their policy to know. As for Tracie I do not ever expect whats ‘right’ or ‘fair’ from Tracie herself due to the past. She’ll find a way to turn herself into the victim any way. She’ll dig out some bible verse that she thinks makes it all right and she will do as she pleases.

What ever happened with the cruise? Did they refund everyone’s money? The cancelled cruise was brought up twice that I saw in the Scrap Gals main group and no one commented before the posts were removed. It felt like maybe the cruisers were told not to discuss it. They hoped right on scrapbooking the Coronavirus with some printables for subscribers. I found this surprising since TC refuses to even entertain the notion of scrapbooking anything not rainbows and unicorns and “my happy life”. I think the printables must have been Tiffany’s doing. Tracie has mentioned several times on Instagram how much she has had to cook food at home lately. Poor girl.

I don't see how cooking Chili in an instant pot would be a time saver. It looked like a bunch of cans you just drop into a pot and heat up. Nothing wrong with that! I like Pioneer Woman's 7 can soup recipe. Just seemed like extra work.
