Mrs. NDN has said things to me in the past that p.o.'d me, but I just told her so and to cut it out.
If she brought it up again, I'd say, "we're not talking about that ever again, remember?", turned and walked away, simple.
But DH says that I'm not one of those thin-skinned weepy gals, "you've got some huevos girl! You don't take any 💩" :laugh:
YUP! :thankyou:
She is literally my next door neighbor, and I don't plan on moving any time soon, I really like this house and where we are ... so there's that. I just have to be patient and tolerant, but I do let her know when she crosses the line with me.
As to the good karma, I think I do have really good karma about me. My sister-in-law has told me several times over these many years, that I have several chairs waiting for me in heaven. :love: AWWWW!!!

My aforementioned favorite sister (I have 2 others and a foster sister) is not thick skinned, she's actually very sensitive but just doesn't let on how she feels and bottles it up inside. I can always tell from her tone in a text or on the phone if something is bothering her (she lives in Texas so I don't get to see her often). I wish she wouldn't let people use her. She has one "friend" who isn't really a friend at all but just an energy sucker. I wish I was there to tell that woman off! That would make my sister uncomfortable though so I wouldn't do it (well not blatantly and in a confrontational manner, anyway).

Sounds like you have a good handle on this situation, though!
 
Sorry to read all this kaneohegirlinaz it's very sad and I've enjoyed reading about your galpal get togethers, I always imagine you''re all having a lot of fun, probably because you come across as a lot of fun.

Feel very sorry for your friend who was body shamed, it's not like she'll be able to brush it off and worse still if it was true and she's already sensitive about it that will cause her quite some damage. Sounds like Mrs NDN has some unresolved issues. I do hate it when people take out their own problems on other people.

As Jas-oh1 has said you sound like you have a handle on it.

🤗🤗🤗
 
I agree JAS_OH1 and SandwichShortOfAPicnic this mess is all just a shame and should not have happened.
My other Gal Pal who was body shamed has lost 65 pounds over the past few months on a Keto diet and no alcohol - I'm so happy for her!
But then there's Mrs. NDN who has a problem with now how she dresses - WHAT?!
I spent a few hours over at Mrs. NDN's house to get a better "lay of the land" and she doesn't want to repair this, at all.
🤷‍♀️
I'm so sad that this has happened and I'm thinking that my time with Mrs. NDN may get limited, by me.
She's a nice enough person but I mean, a little cold hearted I think. "She's not fun anymore that she doesn't drink." WHAT?! "I don't get her love for quilting." Double wow! "She could do so much better. I hate her clothes. She's lost all this weight and still looks terrible in lose horrible clothes." 🤦‍♀️

If she really didn't like the way her "friend" looked in her clothes it wouldn't be hard to say it in a better way and straight to her face. Yeah, Mrs. NDN (AKA Mason jar hoarder who can't cook) could have instead praised the other gal pal and suggested going shopping into the nearby city for a new wardrobe!

Edit: to clarify, in the past kaneohegirlinaz had mentioned she sends food to her NDN and the containers, including mason jars, never come back...and NDN has asked kgirl to make food, like cakes and such for NDN's husband or for this and that. Just wanted to make that clear.

JAS_OH1 "AKA Mason jar hoarder who can't cook" :laugh: yeah, that's her all right, nor does she ever return and other containers that I send next door ...
You're right JAS_OH1 Mrs. NDN doesn't have a very good "filter".
"Mrs. Other Gal Pal" (who was body shamed) doesn't want to go clothes shopping, she hates it, and Mrs. NDN doesn't get that, I do, `cuz I hate it too :happy: I seem to understand "Mrs. Other Gal Pal" much better than anyone else, besides her DH of course.
 
TastyReuben agreed! We'll be away for a month and I can find excuses to limit my time with Mrs. Next Door Neighbor when we get back.
On the other hand, I have already made arrangements with "Mrs. Other Gal Pal" to get together shortly after we get back.
I should start a spread thread "Drama In Cowboyville Arizona" ... `cuz I know darn well this is not the end of this ... you wait!!!
 
How does one increase another person's spatial and interhuman awareness?

Ex.1: entering the tramway, after an elderly, slower walking lady, I got talked about from behind to speed up MY step??

Ex.2: a younger Granny strolling her Grandkid and talking vivaciously with the kids Mom, taking up the whole trotoire/pedestrian walking lane. I step down to the street/car lane, to let them pass...no thank you, no nothing. What makes them so entitled?

I asked my husband earlier if he wanted any macaroni and cheese (I had a small container I had left behind the other day of my 5-cheese macaroni and cheese I was going to bake to go with our leftover smoked pork and smoked turkey from the cookout).
He said, "Well I am thinking I don't want to eat a sandwich, I just am going to make a platter because my teeth are bothering me today and I don't want to bite into a sandwich."
I said, "Well I wasn't going to put the macaroni and cheese on your sandwich."
He looked at me blankly and said, "What?"
I said, "I asked you if you wanted some macaroni and cheese and never mentioned anything about a sandwich."
He said, "Oh, yeah, I'll have some macaroni."
One of the biggest differences between men and women that I have noticed is that women tend to listen. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
