Yes, very annoying! But one can hope.

I had a positively surreal conversation with an international friend this afternoon.
Possible trigger:
Maybe I haven't quite landed from the week I've had, but...shouldn't that conversation have been the other way around? __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Hugs, Lost. I assume she knows what you're dealing with right now? She should be more aware and sensitive to that.

How would the conversation be backwards? looks like she just wanted to give a heads up if she was not online. Seems thoughtful to me if it was in a situation where people might be concerned. What would it being the other way around look like?

Thanks, LT.
I don't think she does anniversaries, so she may not be aware. My calendar is a lot for me, so I don't expect anyone else to keep it. (Except R, perhaps.) It was a spike of anxiety that I really didn't need. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

SD,
It would have made more sense to me if she'd started with something like "There's a chance I might not be online for a while, because..." Starting the conversation by talking about the terror threat level out of nowhere piled panic on top of the limited capacity I have at the moment. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

I wouldn't have thought of that from either side for me. But glad she got to the reassuring part for you eventually

I guess i would see somebody saying, "i might not be online for a while" as scary or manipulative, trying to get me to ask why. If they know the reason, i would prefer they start with that. My family would make leading, insinuating statements like that, threatening some impending doom that this ungrateful child is pitifully, stupidly oblivious of.
Equal but opposite knee-jerk responses

I am discovering one of the joys of historic houses is the unexpected surprises.
For instance, I had electricians here yesterday to replace a 76 year old subpanel. __________________ The secret to eternal youth is arrested development.—Alice Roosevelt Longworth |

Wow - exhankster and I are very nearly historic subpanels. Electricity (or lack there of) is one of the joys of an older house - the first thing I had to do when I bought my 120+ yr old house ( at the time it was 90- years old. tempus fugit and all) was upgrade the panel and add about 40 outlets. Old Plumbing and gas lines also have their fun. When it gets really bad - read (it is funny) or watch(myrna loy) Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and relate.

I love Mr. Blandings (the film).
The plumbing was all replaced a few years before I bought, so that should be okay. Ex-hankster seems more like an historic gas line to me…
