    As long as you react to stuff like this he'll keep doing it! Forget it. It just isn't worth the stress. He's trying to get attention. Don't give it to him for negative stuff, only positive. Be consistent and he'll stop doing it.

    Well, if I say something like that to him, he will just say "o okay, well have fun" or "good luck with that" things like that. And if I'm really being serious about something then later he will get mad. But because he acts like things are no big deal to him and he don't care, does that make it true? Because the look in his eyes or something, or the feeling I get from him is like "please tell me you are joking" Or "i know your just joking" but he just won't show it.
    I hope this wasn't to confusing, what I just said... its what would happen if I said something to him that he didn't like

    I am glad that you are going to act in a positive way on some advice that you have been given! :)

    Do you have homework due tomorrow that isn't finished yet?

    >>Edit<< I have to go run some errands and make a phone call to someone who needs help. I will be back later...

    Wondergirl is online right now. I am sure that she knows that you are online, too.

    I'm here. I am working on a grocery list for shopping tomorrow. Any suggestions?

    Hey, kiddo! How are you doing? I see that you might take some of my advice. Great! I'm proud of you for being willing to step outside of your usual way of dealing with things and trying something new.

    How was school today? Sorry I was late, but my daughter just lost her first job and she needed extra love tonight. :) What can you tell me about something positive or good today?

    Hope to hear from you soon...

    Hugs, Didi

    Hey Wondergirl... What are you shopping for? A week, or a couple of meals? I'll tell you what I've been doing lately that's quick, easy and real tasty!

    Hugs, Didi

    I'll be buying some basics like bread and milk and eggs mostly. What is quick, easy, and tasty?

    I cut up a boneless, skinless chicken breast and fry it on medium high heat, in a very small bit (just to coat the pan) of olive oil and garlic. You can put in a teaspoon or so of water from time to time as it cooks which helps make a nice rich sauce later. When it is nearly cooked, I turn up the heat to high, add a tablespoon of butter, a handful or two of sliced mushrooms, some green, red and yellow peppers sliced, and a clove or two of garlic. As it cooks down, it makes a wonderful sauce with the juices from the chicken. If you want to boil a small new potato in a separate pot, then add 3 or 4 sprigs of asparagus just prior to serving. I put all the veggies and chicken on the plate (looks VERY pretty), drizzle the sauce over top and sometimes I shred a wee bit of marble or cheddar cheese over the top. It's to die for!

    Actually... he has kind of quit. I guess something just changed me over the summer and I didn't care as much about some stuff because I knew it wasn't true... then as soon as school starts up I almost always change again and worry about everything.

    Like now if he says something to try and make me mad or whatever, I usually just say "i know your lying", or "alright well i'm gonna go then" instead of before when I used to like cry about it oor whatever... but even if I do believe something, now instead of him keep going along with it and making it worse he just says " you know i'm kidding"

    Its funny how I figured out his password to stuff and its almost exactly the same as mine.

    It's kind of nice not being so stressed about stuff, isn't it? I take it you don't want to answer any of my questions?

    That sounds really yummy! I'll give that a try. Thanks.

    Sometime try Puffy Chicken -- skinless boneless chicken breasts "frosted" with a mixture of mayo, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and a shake of dried parsley flakes. Line baking pan with foil for easier clean-up. Bake at 350 for half hour until browned and bubbly, then turn down oven to 200 or so while you finish up side dishes. Is good reheated (so I make a lot at one time) or cut into cubes and mixed with lettuce and your favorite salad ingredients such as boiled egg slices or cheese chunks, etc.

    Even Clough could make Puffy Chicken and not fail.

    Macaroni and cheese! Works great for me! Fail safe! Unless, you might like to try one of my "experiments" in other "things!" I'm also really good at pouring beverages and boiling water! :D

    I also like to wash dishes! (For real! It's kind of therapeutic.) :)

    Br, I'd ignore him and just talk about something else with him. Totally skip any comments about any of that stuff. Like my mom used to say when my little brother annoyed me, Just ignore him and he will go away or switch gears to something else. She was right, and it still works on people.
