Usually, I do Funny. By Rachael McGimpsey

Usually, I do funny, because most days silly is how I roll. This past week I have been through the wringer, not really, I rarely put myself in industrial size washing machines, at least not after that last time.

I met a jerk on-line, only I didn't realize this at first. He seemed sympathetic, although depressed. But, as the relationship progressed, he started to believe he had the duty to tell me how to run my life. That in spite of the fact that he could clearly not even run his own. The last thing he said to me, basically, this is paraphrased: I don't sugar coat anything, I am just me, which gives me a license to be a rude obnoxious jerk.

You would think at 57 years of age, that he would have learned by now, that this is not the way life works, you are not exempt from society niceties, some politeness is in order.

Not, being happy is not a good way to roll and I was becoming more and more depressed with each interaction with this fellow, so I did something I rarely do, I just completely cut him off.

If I could have reasoned with this person and come to some kind of an understanding with him, I would have been willing to forgive and forget, but he was not interested in that, he only wanted to bitch.

I hope for him all the best, but I am not sure he would recognize it if it came up and bit him.

Well, like I said I usually do the funny, but sometimes you got to bitch about not bitching. I am sure you understand. NO? I don't really,either.

Hate bios! I am a wife, mom, and writer. Currently going back to school, because at over 40, why not? I would make something more fantastic up, but you have not given me enough characters.
