Annoying as all get out. Or not?

What really irks me is that this is the second time in a row that she has pulled this. And then is annoyed with me if I am unavailable because I have something else to do or just way too much to do to be able to spare the time.

:banghead:

4. Actually, this was planned for Sunday.
What she is going to do now does sound like fun....ride an antique train from Chicago to Galena and back again the same day. A bit of schadenfreude here...it is a non-smoking train and she chain smokes. Plus, she'll have to be downtown at Union Station for a 7:30 a.m. departure...and normally sleeps until 8:30.

5. galena galena galena
damn, i am trying to remember something . . .

i can't remember if i've been there (the specifics) but i'm pretty sure i have.

train rides are way cool, especially if they have a club car.

7. Galena is very pretty....Grant's house is out there.
There will be booze and dinner on the return trip. And she can't hold her booze very well.

2. They get something "better" to do?

Something "better" than meeting with you?

What the hell kind of "friends" are those?

6. Thanks....
She actually lives a very sad life, much of it of her own choosing. Therapy would do her some good, but she doesn't believe in it.

9. That's a shame.

You sound like a very patient, good friend to her.

Let's hope she gets some help.

3. That's way more than annoying.....
I would say that she is no friend to you, really.....

Real friends do not do that!

I would distance myself, and now........ :hug:

8. It's difficult because I have known her since kindergarten.
She does have some strange foibles.
