Korel Laloix: Hope your family time is a good stress for all invovled vs a negative one.
stevenaia Michinaga: hehe, no holiday stress here :) (no holiday to celebrate)
Korel Laloix: But family usually makes some friction.. or maybe that is just my world... lol
stevenaia Michinaga: usually don;t need a holiday for family friction
Korel Laloix: Me neither... lol
Korel Laloix: Just had a nasty phonecall with my mother...
Korel Laloix: Sort of normal really, but she actually called me. So that ws different.

stevenaia Michinaga: Holiday stress?
Korel Laloix: Long and painful story...
Korel Laloix: Just we hate each other.... lol
Korel Laloix: Sorta sad, but it is what it is.
Korel Laloix: Hope your situation is a bit more pleasant.
stevenaia Michinaga: we have some friends who who are "Why me" 'ing themselves all the time, but they tend to keep to themselves
Korel Laloix: I don't do that bit... at least not any more.
Korel Laloix: More just accept, try to fix what I can and live on.
Korel Laloix: Much more pleasant and productive that way.
stevenaia Michinaga: I agree, sounds so easy, but some people have other frameworks to live within
Korel Laloix: That is very true... I have not idea how my step father lives with her. but they have been married now for almost a decade....

stevenaia Michinaga: I know many smokers and alcholics... you can't tell them to do what's best for themselves, they each must see it from themselves.. or not
stevenaia Michinaga: people get so defensive when they ar in denial
stevenaia Michinaga: they jsut stop listening
stevenaia Michinaga: more sad they they don;t see it
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, but you let some go
stevenaia Michinaga: a lot of learning comes along with that
stevenaia Michinaga: nice chatting, night Korel
