TT,
My friend Thelma is feisty, fun and bubbly. She is there in a pinch and would give you the shirt off your back. I love her like a sister. But she can be very superior if she thinks you’ve done something wrong and will spend a lot of time going over your failings. And unfortunately, she’s getting worse, starting to drink more, if you get my meaning TT. She is one of my best friends, but she can be really annoying. What should I do TT? (Dinoa, Mississippi)
Dinoa,
All people have their virtues and strengths as well as their foibles and failings. But there is also an old saying that you have to be cruel to be kind. The next time she bats off like a pompous jerk, tell her that she is no better being a drunk and a rude piece of work herself. Don’t be afraid to be honest and let her know that she is in no position to say jacks$*%! about anybody but herself. If she bats back, lower the drunken-bimbo boom.
