> 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...there probably is another way, but Im not sure what it is...II avoid playing this game, but at times I think it may be appropriate, Ill have to think about this.

> yeah. that is probably what i need to do... reassure her.Yeah, I think I would. And I may even throw in a little tone with that. geez!
