I was talking about people around here

Well, the person in question pretty much does just that, 24-7, complains about his life. And honestly, I got sick of it, although that isn't what made me cut him out of my life. I have tried to change my life, I used to be someone who complained about my life all the time, was depressed, leaned on everyone, and now I've been trying to change that for years, and feel I've been fairly successful. If you feel I was complaining here, I apologize, I mostly was addressing the concept of flaming and applying it to my life. :) Nightowl >8# "Only dead fish swim with the stream." Linda Ellerbee

Reminds me of a joke about Canadians. (I can tell those because I am one. As opposed to Americans who can tell them because they don't care. I'm one of those as well...) Q: How do you get a Canadian to apologize? A: Step on his foot! To which I add. Q: How do you get Nightowl to apologize? A: Get her to talk!

Just confused, I never heard of that phrase. In fact I would suggest that the next thing for you to work on could be stopping apologizing about things that aren't your fault. Yeah, I know, I take the guilt for a lot of things I shouldn't. ;) I'm trying hard to learn not to, but when you've been a doormat for so long it's not an easy thing to learn right off the bat. :) Reminds me of a joke about Canadians. (I can tell those because I am one. As opposed to Americans who can tell them because they don't care. I'm one of those as well...) Q: How do you get a Canadian to apologize? A: Step on his foot! To which I add. Q: How do you get Nightowl to apologize? A: Get her to talk! Hehehe, that's funny, but usually true. :) Just make her wonder, and she'll apologize!!!

Never heard of it, I'll have to figure out what it is and find it somehow, I don't play MP3s or anything like that on my computer. :) Nightowl >8# "Only dead fish swim with the stream."
