But its right in front of you!!!!!! Well, I can SEE the posts about me, but they are actually being very exclusive, and they are not TO me. it's like standing at a cocktail party near two other people, who KNOW I'm within earshot. One says, "Rambi's dress looks like it came from the Salvation Army Store." The other says, "Yes, and that color is awful on her." And they snigger and act like they are being witty when they know darn well I'm listening, and that they have essentially cut me off from being able to respond or have any reasonable conversation with them. (And why would I want to?) Now had Person #1 said to me, "WHere did you get that interesting dress?" And I said, "Neiman's" and then she said, "really? Do you know I saw the same thing at a Salvation Army store last week?" I might think she was tacky, but at least I am being treated as a PERSON, not an ashtray or something, and I can argue or laugh or even say, "Oh, you saw it while you were buying the one you have on?" In which case, Person #1 and I can go at it, until one of us falls down exhausted. That's fair. The other doesn't seem fair to me. Well, I am falling down exhausted now. I guess it's just a perception and that's the best I can explain mine. I am glad you saw the weather thing my way. :)
