I know I've not posted here much for off-hand flaming, I've not the touch but one thing really gets my ire up is really witchie women, and their pups. Why is it you can smile and do all things that are expected of you? But to this brand of "woman" I 'spect we're all just here to create her "heck". And how is it they get in the last word? You'd think they were some honking bird. So how do you react to them? That's the question for your answer to pen. ~~~~~~~~~~ Ok folks, tell me how to deal with this rabid woman who is totally unhappy with herself, and manages to make everyone around her upset with her self-fed bitterness. All comments welcome. ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

well, being like that myself sometimes, I'd say, just agree with her, and tell her if thats the way she demands to think, no one will change her mind, till she decides it. ------------------ "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

Tough call. There are few things in this world more depressing than a negative person, but Saxoness is absolutely right - ain't no one gonna change them but themselves. My solution has always been simple - RUN!! As fast as I can. I just refuse to be around people like that. Unforunately, I realize that solution isn't always practical... Tough call. |

Words of Wisdom: Sunshine We can either change the complexities of life...or develop ways that enable us to cope more effectively. (Herbert Benson) --- No matter what has happend act as if nothing has happened. (Arnold Bennett) --- Things are in their essence what we choose to make them. A thing is, according to the mode in which one looks at it. (Oscar Wilde) p.s. In short...it's up to you. Good Luck!  |

We could make a bad thing better, If we can make her understand, That being a female puts her in a fetter, She be better off being a man. Now I'm not saying men aren't bad, But we don't crave our chocolate bars, And a pinch on our bottom makes US glad, And we love it when you go too far. We're never catty when another guy Has a body much better than ours. We recognize we're the same type, We just hide our super powers. So, tell her that to be better off, Changing her sex is a must. Become hard instead of being soft, And become a regular guy like us. |

LJA, terrific reply! Thanks everyone...you know I was probably having "one of those days" and it never fails that as you are on the way out the door, someone decides to be a bore! I appreciate all of your comments, and trust me, I haven't done her in...yet! |

LJA...great response Sunshine I know it's hard to deal with people like that sometimes but she may be having personal problems that she's tryin to mask or maybe she's just a quart low on estrogen. You being the person that you are can rise above this bitterness and just go on being yourself and being happy in it. Or you can take her to your heart and be her friend. Could be that she has no one in her life to confide in. I know that sounds trite but I used to be really bitter towards everybody cuz I was afraid to let anyone get too close. Close meant pain for the longest time and no one was allowed near me. It may just be her defensive walls. At the very least I think you should just continue to be a positive influence on those around you. Light eventually drives away the dark. Enough of my diatribe. Hope I could be of some help. ------------------ Words lay dormant in the recesses of the mind til called forth to a labor of love. By WildChild |

Ignore her. Do your job and laugh in the face of negativity. OR... Everybody pitch in and send her flowers from a secret admirer and have them delivered at the office..... do this once a week for a month, then ask her out to lunch and let her know you all did this to let her know she is a good person despite the fact that she doesn't appear to like herself much.... OR..... Change jobs. Quit and open your own business. That way you can pick and choose who you want to work with. OR.... Send an anonymous letter to her home letting her know that her bitter, nasty attitude makes people uncomfortable and that she has the potential to actually enjoy life if she'd just lighten up. can't think of anymore |

Do you folks know exactly how terrific you all are? Unfortunately as to your comments, with the exception that I refuse to leave this place as I have a wonderful boss to work with, I've done most of the rest. I just had to get that little ditty off of my chest last week. However, seeing these responses only deepens my resolve to know that "G" wins over "E", and if not now, then later!

Supersonic earplugs in place I'm smiling right in her face I've laced her coffee galore with Xanax, Pamprin, Midol and more; All of the other efforts we've done she's affected others, I'm not the only one; and you know what? I've discovered I've really won 'cause each and every day, she has to see the SUN!!!! ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine I know you've worked really hard at brightening up her day, but, let's face it - she probably needs a good lay, which is the only thing a lot of women need. Right? < smug look of male-centered superiority over being the real answer for most women's needs > |

LJA, if you saw her, you'd (1) Lose the smug look and (2) Run so very, very fast, in the opposite direction... LOL!!! |

Kill her with kindness, She won't know what to do. Maybe then she'll turn and run, And stay away from you! Or maybe you'll have a new friend! |

Whtdove, I am a passionate, loving, caring creature that cries over dead birds. My heart is so very large, sometimes it takes over. My mother and father raised me right, and to stay away from arguments that are fruitless. "Be the better" and "be a lady" were ingrained from birth. So, I think you can imagine, I've given it my all. I've been dealing with this person 8.5 years. I'll survive. I just had to get this off my chest. However, I think I'll give her my regular dose of kindness, and double it on all others. Hugs. |

Delicate situation to advise anyone one on. My advice would be simply go your way and let her follow hers. It is no one's place to change another person nor is it anyone's place to judge so if you find her offensive, simply do not respond. ------------------ Pain is life, life is short, I will endure.

Strike most of the above statement as I had a migraine this morning, as I do now. It has been my experience that any recognition given to those that are intolerably abusive will only fan the flames. If you tell them you don't like it, they continue. If you listen to them, they continue. Ignoring those that offend you seems to be the best reaction all the way around, though I admit sometimes it is hard to keep my wit from cutting at them. In short, be yourself and be as tolerant as you can. 'Tis the best answer I can give under the circumstances. ------------------ Pain is life, life is short, I will endure. DreamEvil© |
