> can you get on it please ; )
will do ;-)
> Im not myself either, its a hard time, really hard and even when it shouldnt be hard. Just take care of yourself...yeah. i should remember that it is a hard time for a lot of people.
> you either have to stoop to thier level and play along or watch them and silently laugh at how absolutely silly they are being.there must be another way... i usually just get all quiet. i don't want to condone it and i don't say anything to support it or whatever. i do come out with comments... but they tend to get ignored. so when the 'better than' conversations start sometimes i can say something like 'it is really terrific that everyone seems to be pretty happy with where they have decided to live' and things like that. but... my comments tend to be ignored / passed over and they have no affect whatsoever on changing the direction of the conversation. when i am just talking with one person... they have more of an impact. but not when there is a whole bunch of them together...
and sometimes...
i think what is so great about babble is that you get to post a post. and in your post you can say what is on your mind without interruption. irl... often you can't do that because people will interrupt. also... hard to figure what to say because of real world time pressures...
> OMG Can you tell her that you don't care about it?yeah. that is probably what i need to do... reassure her.
