Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Thank you, Michele, I decided many years ago that it was not worth fretting over such things. As I read these threads I think about the friends I would not have had had I judged them by their sexual preferences. Enjoy! ;-) Judith Alta -----Original Message----- From: the scorpio [mailto:rawbabymama@...] Judith, I wish my mom was more like you.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 You're welcome My mom has no friends - literally- because she is so judgemental. She also does not talk much with family outside of immediate because she can't stand Cuban culture(we're Cuban). It makes me sad for her. Also, there would be that whole control issue; if she had friends, they might have their own lives and make decisions without her, kind of like me....which drives her nuts! She's about to go the doctor for heart problems because of the combination of fretting over everything, SAD diet and weighing twice as much as she should. If you have any ways to channel that not fretting thing, let me know!
