I know I am tired of hearing conversations that seem to have no point.

I always, always wonder why people like that look for the bad (in their eyes) instead of all that is good, those wonderful, energetic young people who are our future! See, you've gotten me started, Deb. I wish I could be the policeman of the world!

If I'm not going to do something about it, I try to get myself away from it.<br />BTW, the "young adults" don't forget. They know who it bugs, and they would love to see someone say something - because they are the B and C groups in training. Those that are not in the B & C groups are quiet and dressed appropriately. Drama seems to be popular nowadays.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-41716691203847594752012-04-25T15:14:41.498-05:002012-04-25T15:14:41.498-05:00Exactly why I walked awayExactly why I walked awayDeb Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861392500601183208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-1552186386614931692012-04-25T12:43:51.365-05:002012-04-25T12:43:51.365-05:00Preach it Sister!

I have a friend who likes to do that and I call her on it if it's pointless stuff (like school work we have to do). But for the people I don't know, I think in my head of what my dad would always do: rub his thumb and pointer finger together and "play the world's smallest violin."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633434368279171480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-67555500965096118192012-04-25T12:03:29.175-05:002012-04-25T12:03:29.175-05:00I'm proud of you for walking away, for not giv...I'm proud of you for walking away, for not giving them your time. I wish I were strong enough to vocally say something to them. But I doubt my words will change them.
