As a person who works odd hours and has no friends to spend real time with (other than my dear husband), I regard the reading and writing of blogs as "share with me". You, Tania, whether you know it or not, are part of my social circle. The people I interact with regularly. The people I laugh, cry, and wonder with. It would be truly imbalanced if you only wrote about your downs, and not your ups. They're all part of sharing.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-48504696475061668772015-04-17T09:08:43.192+01:002015-04-17T09:08:43.192+01:00Perhaps don't listen to talk radio when drivin...Perhaps don't listen to talk radio when driving?

I especially can't stand the commonly used expression "poor you". Grrrr!<br />I'm trying to think who the know-it-all might be as I've been tuning in to the radio quite frequently today. I must have missed him.

A little bragging tells me how hard it was to get there, except for the chronic self congratulatory who seem to think everything they do is miraculous.
