Speaking of credit cards
I just got a new visa platinum amazon credit card. It gives me money for amazon. Who is excited? Me. Yes, that is who. I wish I could have your pictures on it. I feel like my parents. James turned on the heat in the house tonight. I don't know how I feel about that. I am used to my three pairs of PJ pants and two sweatshirts, two fleece blankets a down comforter and a quilt. Although it makes it very hard to get up in the morning.
Sometimes when people ask me things, I think they are not asking me the question, they are asking me to say something stupid so that they can show me how wrong I am. "Wait," they say, "I want to hear you defend yourself on this point (SO I CAN DESTROY YOU)." This is what they are thinking. And perhaps I am wrong about a great many things, perhaps a good ass-kicking is what I need sometimes, but I just wish people would do it without that attitude, listen and then decide if I am wrong, you know. This bothers me.

yeah. sometimes asking questions is a passive aggressive way of saying they think you're wrong. It's like an underhanded suggestion that you have somehow overlooked something so obvious, almost like they are graciously giving you the opportunity to realize it yourself before they have to demonstrate themselves this elementry principle. but in defense of the question-askers (in which i am included)SOMETIMES they ask because they don't know how to confront diplomatically or possibly even express a differing opionion in a way that does not offend.
