It was something my dad had mentioned to me in one of our conversations. He has deep thinking, he pointed out that when people say, " you should" its a controling personality. In most cases it appears to be, there is also, a good way to put good use to the word "you should". He will often bring up stuff like this to get my opinion or what I think about it.

I agree with your dad..I have always avoided people who talk to me that way. I had problems with a former roommate who was always saying "You should do this or you should do that"..got fed up with it. I have a coworker who does that and not many people at work like her.

I sent my resume to a new job, and had been emailing back and forth with HR all week. Now I didn't get a reply this morning and I am getting worried LOL. Maybe it's cause of the weekend.

My best old friend has been doing this with me. I know he means well and is as close to me as a brother but I am talking to him less and less because of all the "you shoulds". Of course he is probably right and just hates to see me suffering but that still does not change my response. Thanks for bringing this up I really was kind of clueless as to why the widening gulf. Best old friends are not something you can ever replace,, ouch.

I learn Villians in any story can win because Heros don't have to be always winners for anything. It is more interesting how villians are doing. :)

I like to read and know more about villains. "Bad" people are more interesting to me. :P

I learned I still can't dance

I was only able to when drunk. I don't drink anymore, therefore I don't dance.

I remember getting plastered while at a Mikey Gilley's bar here in WPB, and dancing on the railing to the live band. Now, mind you, the railing was only 4 inches wide and I was 280 pounds at the time. :giggle:
 
I learned today... after a couple hours of trying on clothes.. that I am definitely losing weight, I'm giddy with glee!
