Especially when you are a SAHM, everything you do is a 'hot topic' so what is to talk about that wont offend the person you are talking too? <br /><br />Just today I was talking about K2, and the person I was talking too got offended because I would not stop/limit something that I thought to be a part of human nature. So what did we end up talking about after that? My sister.... I did not realize until I got off the phone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451950050325089959.post-2470896697078797012010-04-08T14:04:02.397-05:002010-04-08T14:04:02.397-05:00I appreciate the advice, and it's reassuring k...I appreciate the advice, and it's reassuring knowing that others see it the same way I do most of the time (ie: "..as long as what you're saying isn't mean spirited or going to effect the person's reputation negatively...") <br /><br />Honestly, I don't talk about people in a bad light. I've just found myself explaining situations of those around me to people who have no interest, don't know the people, etc. when I should be instead seeking more relevant topics to talk about around them. And that's more what I'm talking about here. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment. I'm really curious as to who wrote it... Has to be someone I know, but I'm really at a loss as to who it is.

I think a good rule (I almost said of thumb, but caught myself, I HATE that expression) a good criterion for what's okay vs. what's not okay when speaking of others is, as long as what you're saying isn't mean spirited or going to effect the person's reputation negatively there is probably little harm in chatting. We all love to talk, we all have to talk, and should talk about the people in our lives, that's how most of us work through things, etc, and yes, keep ourselves entertained. Bottom line, stick to your resolution, I think it's a nice idea, but don't feel obliged to over analyze yourself... Just be nice, and "wewax." lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
