I'm on the phone with a friend who has got to be the most negative person I've ever met. She's struggling in life. I get it.

But duuuuuude, there is NOTHING positive happening in your life? I have a hard time believing that. I mean, if NOTHING positive happens, I think that's more of an attitude problem than a reality.

I think she's trying hint around to rent our basement from us. We don't even have a room in our basement. I don't know what she's thinking.

I would probably shoot myself in my head if I had to listen to this negativity every day.

Half the time I don't even answer the phone when she calls.

Uggg.

My MOTHER is like this. She has nothing good to say about anyone or anything. I just change the subject. She even talks crap about her grandkids. I would hate to hear what she says about mine. They are all angels Wink

That is a great concept. I think I will tell my mom that every time something negative comes out of her mouth, she has to give me 20 positive things in return. ME LIKES Smile

Life is totally sweet apart from SKids! LOL They aggravate the shit out of me and, rather than bring the negativity into the house I simply state what I think and then do a huge vent on here! Elder SS has decided he wants to move out. That's cool, we can save money upstairs with energy bills and we do not need highest speed internet for his gaming, we can use his suite of rooms while we remodel the upstairs. My brain is ticking over rapid speed here...LOL I have lost my resident chef but we can manage with plain food, actually I am not such a bad cook! Our grocery bill is cut dramatically if we are not buying 'ingredients' he likes. The first one of you who shatters my dreams by saying he'll be back I will have at you!! (kidding LOL) Actually, I'll miss him tons. SS 18 is back but scarce lately, since I spoke out about the last incident with his self absorbed ass, so I can deal with that. I am happy that elder SS is moving forwards, it's been a long haul for him since his car wreck, he almost did not survive it.
I do not have any expectations of SS 18, he'll grow and learn I guess?
Meanwhile, I have some projects around the house to work on and some sewing I want to do.
I agree, EVERYONE should be thankful for the good things they have. Nothing should really be taken for granted.
