How I picture most social media interactions.

Bleagh. But, yes, more.

And I see this.

Don’t ever try to play that “I have it worse than you do” game with people.

Don’t ever try to minimize someone else’s problems or invalidate their feelings just because you or someone else may have it worse.

To imply that their problems “aren’t that bad” or their feelings are “irrational” is very insulting and unnecessarily rude.

That’s an insensitive, inconsiderate and horrible thing to do to someone.

Don’t be that jackass.

She seems to be doing well.

Visited the in-laws for a bit today, she is (and they are)  lovely as usual.

I wonder where Derek and DJ were?

This is about 16 years ago, I think. 1998ish?

Finished spaced. Surprised we didn’t watch it sooner…. it’s great. Lots of lead ins to the other Edgar Wright pegg/ frost stuff.  Looking forward to world’s end even more now.

Another dump trip today, I saw a culture with at least a 7, possibly 9 foot wingspan bopping around. Smell was as you’d expect at the dump on a hot July day. Disposed of old scrap wood and investigated slate for a deck area out back at the local garden shop.

Picked up some groceries and made us freezer pizza for dinner… first red baron I’ve had in ages. I miss the old mini pizza pucks with Jeb and company during our dudes movie night “fart parties”

Talked with mom for about 90 min this morning…. tenant having some issues but all is well, I think.

So, talked on the phone for hours with wife, mom, Larry today, sent texts with more than a couple people, communicated in person with the in-laws and society in general. Went shopping at giant, Wal-Mart, etc, and now I’m thoroughly exhausted.

Socializing is hard indeed, dear journal.
