Hi, Trav'ing lady, I just exchanged emails with my sister. She says she doesn't like to talk on the phone with anybody very much, and that once a week with me is enough. So, if I don't talk about what's good in MY life, as well as hers, what DO people talk about that's not negative or political? She has this inflated view of my love life, which really does not exist. I have a b/f but it's not "in love." It's friendship only. It's not the kind of relationship she wants in her life. She wants red hot romance, and that is definitely (1) not what I have and (2) not what I want. However, she does keep bringing it up, that I have a man in my life and she doesn't. Honestly, TravellingLady, I haven't got a clue what to talk about on the phone, but when we GO SOMEPLACE like a concert, which we do maybe only 2-3 times a YEAR we talk about the music. And by the way, she lives 15 miles away from where I live.
