As a dedicated Type A, I long got some advice from a very relaxed wise man, he told me that you can't always (or can never) control the actions of stupid people, so "bend to the lash."http://allday.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/05/110888.aspx#113406Thu, 05 Apr 2007 20:45:09 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:113406Gayle C./Danbury, WIStephanie: I, too, considered trying 'the no complaining' quest. My husband was quick to point out that the challenge would be much to great. I feel exactly as you do - many of my supposed complaints are merely statements of fact. He can take a perfectly legitimate statement and construe it to be a scathing diatribe. I don't understand how he can do so. Even my dear sweet little granddaughter got into the act when I picked her up at her Sunday school classroom after church. I had taken a moment to chat it up with her SS teachers and as we were headed back upstairs on our way out, Ms Chloe remarked that I had been using my 'mean voice'. I don't get it! http://allday.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/05/110888.aspx#113645Fri, 06 Apr 2007 01:57:51 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:113645we noho wedeens CAsometimes complaining is therapy !!! ??? everything is relative ......... where's that purple bracelet now ????????http://allday.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/05/110888.aspx#113661Fri, 06 Apr 2007 02:33:27 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:113661Melanie, your sisterI'm proud of you.
