    Just be silent, IMO. Ignore her complaints, change the subject.

    One good response to anything is to say just, "oh."

    If she REALLY pushes her complaining, try something like, "Oh, you're a smart gal. You'll figure it out." Leave it at that.

    Time to take away her audience.

    Need some positive vibes

    I don't often ask for anything for myself, but I could use some of those powerful PT Prayers. I've been battling some serious health issues since last December, with still no positive diagnosis. It seems that the problems are now coming to light, and the results are potentially quite serious. I had to ditch my PCP of nearly 15 years who was doing basically nothing to help me, and find a doctor who was able to get the ball rolling and find the source of the problems. Still facing more tests and procedures, but it seems that we are finally closing in on the problems. The answers might not be good, but at least I will have answers, and can move forward with any necessary treatment. Your prayers and positive thoughts will help greatly - I've seen them work before.

    Thanks friends....................

    Ellie, I have you covered with prayers. On Sunday I'll add you to our prayer list at our church if it's okay with you.

    You are absolutely in our prayers. Getting definitive answers can be so difficult at times, and gets very frustrating!

    Thank you Nancy. Your comment is much appreciated.




    I have an appointment with another specialist this afternoon, and also have to call for an appointment with yet another. I have 2 more scans scheduled next week, and don't know if these 2 pending appointments will schedule even more "stuff". Thank goodness I have excellent medical insurance coverage and will have to pay nothing out of my pocket for any of this.

    And PLEASE to any of you on Facebook - say NOTHING on there about any of this. I don't want any of my issues broadcast on there. Thanks for understanding.................

    yeah, I know she loves drama, esp listening to her friends complain about her their SOs.

    She found a place with him, but it's not what she wants and he isn't changing his behavior. DUH!

    So it's time for me to ignore her complaints.

    Thanks Candace

    You and her other friends could make up a mock Oscar - picture or papier mache - with the words High Drama on it and hand it to her when she starts one of her monologues.

    ELLIE - any answers yet? HUGS.

    Prayers for you all.
    Sorry I've been absent. My migraines have been terrible... and last week I found out a super good friend of mine from when I was a young kid that I have kept in touch with passed away.

    He had been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure last year, lost over 120 lbs, and never once complained. He just said, "well this is what it is" and went about his day.
    He has a young daughter named Kennedy. She was the light of his life. My heart goes out to her.

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016
