Oh yes, Deborah! I can totally relate. I have actually managed to eliminate one of my worst offenders ( Ghosted by a girlfriend story) but have another that drives me nuts. She's always so negative and when I have called her out on it she's hit me back with being mean. Now, I have to time my calls so that I can respond politely. I know if I'm in a mood I will say something that will offend her.

The older I get the more I realize I don't need this angst in my life - and it appears you are of the same opinion. Thanks for this story to make me feel human!
