    I can really relate to your example though, everyone with their news while you're sitting there like a piece of furniture.

    Not fun at all. Keeps me away from family a lot. Gets tough keeping a smile plastered on my face.

    Almost all the other people.


    I relapsed once because I had to go to a family gathering.  They make me that sick.

    When I did have a large extended family, it was all the f*ckiing chattering and screaming like monkeys about nothing of any importance.  I don't have a large family but my husband did.  I cringed every time we had to go to one of their functions.  Eventually, I begged off them altogether.  They were loud and annoying people who didn't give a shite about anyone but themselves.  Each one would scream over the other to be heard.  Makes me shudder thinking about it.  Think Fran Drescher,  but not attractive or funny.

    I loved the Nanny.  I have the same family.   I don't see any of them at all.  Don't miss them at all.

    LOL!  No, that was my husband's family I was talking about.  I'm anything but a Fran Drescher type.  I know I talk a lot here, but I'm not loud when I speak and, believe it or not, I generally just sit and quietly watch everyone when I'm in that kind of social situation.

    If it's one of those everybody bring food things, the food is the worst part because I don't touch it unless my sister or I made it.  When I'm in charge I do all of the prep and cooking or use a catering service.  Thrifty does not like the pot luck thing!
