I have a very close friend, of 16 years, or is a total interrupter and only talks about herself. I have finally, after all these years, said to her, "Can you stop interrupting me?" Or "I'm still talking Kathy!"<BR/>And I asked her one time why she never lets me talk about me and my problems. It didn't take long. She now asks about me and my family and if she finds herself interrupting me she'll say, "Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811460930343769653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-55840723063298013542008-05-06T09:45:00.000+01:002008-05-06T09:45:00.000+01:00I would have said something I think - but then I'm...I would have said something I think - but then I'm not as nice a person as you are!Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-44832985227683198742008-05-06T07:57:00.000+01:002008-05-06T07:57:00.000+01:00Mean mom.....

Every time Connie asks if you are alright, try saying 'yes thanks, are you alright?'. She may then begin to understand how irritating she is being.<BR/><BR/>It was downright rude of her to say that you were looking older. A person who could get away with looking no older, would be a very lucky person, indeed! I would imagine that she has observed your current worried expression! You will have an instant 'facelift' as soon as your daughter/son-in-law situation is relieved! Fingers crossed for all of you, of course.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment at my site.
