It isn't her meanness that was getting to me it was her utter irrelevance and superficiality that finally was eroding any ability to endure it here.

Nope, I don't. I was done. Then, my masochistic streak got the better of me and I decided to take a look and see if any glimmer of hope for this place had emerged - maybe a new thread on something interesting, relevant, intelligent - anything.

So many posts - so much prattle. FFL would be better served by returning to a posting limit. Perhaps even lowering it to 30-40 posts per week. People would once again start to count the cost of cheap babbling. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater@... wrote: Dear Emily, As of last night, arriving back home from an awards banquet and having a glass of wine and a piece of Toblerone as I sat in front of the computer for a final sweep of my emails, news and, you guessed it, FFL I came to a firm conclusion: no more FFL for me.

Yes Ann and Judy, I agree with all of this. Share's scary plane rides post was the one that almost did me in. It will never stop. I believe her brain is wired this way and there is nothing she is doing to increase awareness of her self and her condition, nothing at least that has had any effect on her behavior since she joined. As I've said, I learn in reverse so in some perverted sense, she's taught me a lesson or two. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend@... wrote: (snip) Ann wrote: Dear Emily, As of last night, arriving back home from an awards banquet and having a glass of wine and a piece of Toblerone as I sat in front of the computer for a final sweep of my emails, news and, you guessed it, FFL I came to a firm conclusion: no more FFL for me.
