I have a friend who is older than me [if u can believe that, lol] who puts up all these christmas decorations inside her house & outside to. She works like a turk to do this. I don't put up any & she calls me scrooge, lol. all i had that looked christmasy was the cards i got. Picked them up this morn & put them away & then i called her & told her i had all my decorations put up. She called me a smart a$$ & died laughuing. I ask her every year after the holidays are over doesn't she wish she hadn't put all that stuff out just to aggravate her. Do u have good friends that u can carry on w/like that?

I do have friends that I can be honest with....actually I don't have any friends that I can't be honest with. I prefer it that way. Of course, I do have acquantices (did I even spell that right??) that I can't be that open with. I like to be honest and open with my friends and I want then to be open and honest with me. I have always been known to "shoot from the hip" and anyone that knows me, knows not to ask for "your honest opinion" unless they REALLY want to know the truth...caz I will tell it like it is. I try not to be hateful about it, and I use tact, but I will tell someone the truth and not sugar coat it.

Hey Stranger, i'm very plain spoken to & like for people to be the same way w/me. U can always tell when someone is sugar coating something. I hope things are going good for u. Sure don't see u on here very much. Good to hear from u.

I have been crazy busy these days. Not really sure where those 24 hours in a day goes, these days. It seems like I don't have ANY free time. I recently started homeschooling my middle child, and that seems to take one heck of a lot of my day between actually teaching him and then planning for the next day. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

I don't think I will acknowledge that person as a good friend. It's will deteriorate my health badly every year end. That person I will treat her as just a neighbor. Then I will not need to bother about trying to escape her sharp eyes for knowing that I am just too poor to buy decos for my house and will not worry about scolding her bad when she starts giving me "beautiful" names.

You're taking this all wrong, her friend was joking around with her not talking to her in a condescending way at all but in a joking way. It's all good! It's all good!

I see. Haha, previously I have such friends but somehow the jokes became too painful for my ears and thus, I thought you were experiencing the same thing as me. Anyway, it's good if you have friends whom you can joke with without getting hurt. Thus, cheers for your friendship and Happy New Year!

Hi, ANTIQUELADY. Well my good friends don't curse. But a few of my wild associates may respond in a silly way like this. If I make them laugh hard enough. Me and my cousin can get together and make each other laugh about many things. It is fun when you can have fun together without always being so serious. Life should be enjoyable and funny and not so much like a strict teacher/judge all of the time.

well, that is so funny that is normal bantering between friends and have to deal with her personality. Though, some may find it annoying between friends it is alright and both already adjusted to it. I have friends who jokes anything from silly to the funny ones as long as it never get hurt from it then it have nothing to worry just another sort of entertainment between friends. Merry Christmas to you..

well thats interesting. see you are a nice easy going person like me. i used to have a couple of friends like that then since i've been moving around no longer know where they are. but now the last couple of friends i've had you cant joke with because they take to much seriously and think you mean it. i dont like touchy people. i have a couple of kids i can talk that way with but i have one thats very touchy and serious and dont take it right if you joke with her.

It's all in good fun isn't it. I know it made your day to be able to call and tell her that. You guys sound like real true friends to be able to poke fun at each other in good spirit. I do wish I had a friend like that. I didn't put up much decorations either. Just some candles in the windows and a wreath on the door and I have finished taking my decorations down too. I looked up the street and I saw my sister outside taking all those lights down from outside her house. She has candy canes lined up and down her side walk. I guess I could be a good sport and go up there and help her.

Of course it was, most of my true friends & i carry on like that all the time. I wish u had a friend like that to, sorry udon't. I hope it's warmer there than it is here for your sister to be out doing that. We have had a bunch of cold wind for the last few days. I love the wind in the summer but hate cold winds, I have not put up decorations for years. I am srooge when it comes to doing that, lol.

Hi lady LOL..Im glad to hear that you do have friends that you can joke with on that kind of note. I really don't have any friends to say, other than the ones that I meant on here. I do however have an ex daughter inlaw that I still get along great with. We can say things like that to each other and neither get offensive. I know that might sound strange but we bonded many years ago and still have that kind of bond with each other... Keep smiling.

I think it's a good thing especially since she is the mother of your grandchildren. It sure makes it easier for them. I know u love being w/them. I sure do enjoy my grandson. He's a hoot, lol.

Hi Rose, thanks for responding. It is nice to have friends like that. U will meet some really nice people on mylot, i'm sure. I sure have. I don't think it sounds strange at all that u & your ex dil are still friends. Nothing wrong w/that. I had two mil's & i sathed friendly w/them till they passed away. it wasn't their fault their sons acted like potooties, lol.

This is true. I guess the thing about my ex dil is that it was her fault that they divorced. But still she is the mother of my grandsons. It has been in the last year that we started being friendly with each other. Keep smiling lady...

Yes, i do have friends like that, that i can carry on with that but not very many people. Alot of people take things to extremes and take things you would say too seriously. So you have to watch what you say to people.

LOL. I do not have anyone personally that I carry on like that with other than my mom LOL. We both decorate alot though so there is not much nitpicking we can do with each other. We do tease each other at times though because we say we will not put alot of decorations up each year and then end up going overboard with them LOL.

i have a sarcastic friend who always love talking that way and would even lol after. good thing that im used to his style and never got offended even once. he would always tell you any ugly names that he can think of and once you got offended, he would just say, "the truth really hurts".
