Sick and tired

I am not a mind reader.  I don't know when I am making people feel stupid.  If you are extra sensitive, I'm sorry, but I don't know what to say.  Especially when you don't react to someone the same way you react to me.  I've seen people treat you like you were 2 years old and you take it fine, but if I try and explain things so you'll understand, you have a fit.  I don't know when you're going to have a meltdown over it. 

I have been the same today as any other day.  I've used the same tone of voice and everything else.  Why is it that today you have been on this kick of me treating you like you're stupid?  I know things when I was in school were not the same as when you were in school.  I'm not stupid either.  You treat me the same way sometimes, but as far as I know I don't have a metldown over it.

As for the Wal-Mart conversation . . . I was not insisting on being right.  After 5 or 10 minutes of batting it around though I thought it was over.  The horse was dead and beat into the ground.  That is why I said "OK Maureen" when you brought it back up.  You know that person takes a topic and will discuss it till it has been beat into the ground like a dead horse.  You know when I insist on being right.


Ok, thinking about it the glasses topic I can see where I may have made you feel stupid.  You do have to look and see my point though.  You haven't tried them so you don't know.  You also do the same thing to me when I haven't tried something.

Happy Birthday Space Shuttle

You're 29 years old today.  You have had quite the life.  Many triumphs and tribulations, then the 2 disasters.  I have cried, cheered, held my breath and more for you.  I was 6 when you had your first disaster.  That is what made me realize you existed.  I may have been young, but I became interested in astronomy and learned a lot.  Through you I have told a teacher off at 7 years old.  Visited Cape Canaveral at 10 (and corrected the tour guide).  We have grown up together. 

I've watched many of your launches.  Your launches in my darkest days brightened them and have kept me going.  I'll miss you when you're gone, but will always remember you.  You have done so much for this country and world.  Enjoy your day.
