Remember, she was in hospital three years ago after she got a gallstone after the birth of her fourth child. Oh you do so, stop being so contrary!!"<BR/><BR/>I don't care what Jenny does, says, eats or who she is related to. She has no relevance to my life and why the hell would I want to waste 10 minutes of my extraordinary life listening to abstract facts about her mundane life??Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404613584296500571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36986911.post-32641234041107950652007-07-17T14:05:00.000+10:002007-07-17T14:05:00.000+10:00I have the same behaviours, and terminology from m...I have the same behaviours, and terminology from my parents and thats the very reason why I moved 3 states from them and barely call them.<BR/><BR/>I could say 'i've discovered the cure for cancer, Mum!" and she said say 'oh, that's nice dear.

If this starts early enough a life-long pattern is set.<BR/><BR/>A tell-tale is if you can sustain a discussion about a single subject. Some people can't - their conversation wanders off all over the place and you can never explore anything to any kind of conclusion. If you can't manage a logical and reasoned conversation, you're sunk.<BR/><BR/>Some of the loneliness, especially in those older folk, comes out because they don't have anybody much to talk to - sometimes for days at a time. When they get the chance, they unburden with every little piece of trivia and waffle, it's like a dam bursting.<BR/><BR/>Irrespective of the reasons, and the validity or otherwise of my bogus theory, it<BR/>s damn irritating to be on the receiving end!ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109431499306884717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36986911.post-2865266093559758622007-07-16T18:28:00.000+10:002007-07-16T18:28:00.000+10:00I stop by fairly often, am currently reading my wa...I stop by fairly often, am currently reading my way through your archives, along with the archives of several others, my own life is fairly boring, so I live vicariously through the blogs of others.

Come again if you like complaining and infrequent posts.<BR/><BR/>Littlesnoring - indeed!<BR/><BR/>Mutley - and here's me thinking my 'regulars' (should that even be plural?) had lives, much as I do, which preclude caring how often I post. Tell you what, you support me financially so I don't have to work, give me a housekeeper and cook, and I'll post something everyday.
