Hi Rhonda,
Me and you need to write a book, girl !! I was in Walmart on Sat. and saw a "friend" (if thats what you want to call her), and I should have known to run the other way- she's had "diarrhea of the mouth" before. She proceeded to tell me about her friend with BC and yes I got lured in fish, line and sinker- and then out of nowhere she says, "oh, but she died two weeks ago, and suffered horribly...it was just terrible..." Why the H___ do people say stupid S#@T like that!!! Does she not know who she's talking too!?!?!?!?!?!? Can you say CLUELESS?!?!?!?!? I was so upset, and even angry (I WAS having a good day...), that I swore that would be the last time that I sat there saying nothing and feeling helpless and hopeless when someone said something like that. They're already gossiping...I might as well be blunt and lay it on the line and really give them something to talk about. You know, maybe if people experienced one moment of horror, they would think next time before they speak. Period.
Can you tell I'm chemo PMSing?!?!?!?
Love, Kelly
