ya, it is crazy because when I say something to my grandma for example about 
the dog, she has no reply.  Do you know anyone like that?  I mean she has 
nothing to say about it.  You know, I want to hear something like, your 
doing a great job.  Or some I am very proud of you.  You know something like 
that.  That hurts when I don't hear it from my family.
