Don't we all encounter folks like this? I know I do. Often times, in certain situations, I find it's best to breathe deep, find humor, laugh a little, and take what some people say or do with a grain of salt. Or, as a good friend of mine once advised many years ago: "You just have to pray for 'em and keep on going!" I love that adage ....

There was a time when I would actually take these people seriously. Now I have become an Oscar contender. Just a great way to have a big laugh at the end of the day with my husband and a glass of wine.

I think it's odd that we both are thinking the same thing at the same time, LOL. That's exactly what I was talking about to my husband yesterday. It's kinda spooky, actually. Or maybe the whole world is so self-absorbed that it's hard not to notice?

Hi Carie- very cute - we all know a few people like that... it can be fun, exasperating, frustrating and many more things... I recently wrote an email that started off " while we chatted for an hour last night...." we have nothing but time on our hands for them!..
