[blparent] People are funny

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Your dad is right.
You can also ask "What do you mean by that" if you do want to engage. You'll always learn something with this question.

Good point. My dad has always said, "why sweat the small stuff" Another
thing he still says today is, "why do you let the idiots of the world bother
you?" The older I get, the more I'm agreeing with him. Just need to get over
this hurtle. Talking to you all really does help. thank you so much.

take life too serious yeh you have those that are not joking but what do
those people know I worry about things I need to worry about.
