Small Talk: Talk That's Not Too Large To Be Small

[Meredith Quill]

The Small Talk topic is for:

• Introductions
• Off-topic chatter
• Having virtual tea with forum buddies

This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:

1. Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about
2. Look for an existing topic that matches or fits
3. If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!

Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to):

• Character topics
• Spoiler topics
• Comparison topics
• Speculation topics
• In the Media topics
• Favourite X topics
• ...you get the idea

Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

I know someone who is very much like this lady with the constant moaning in pain and freaking out with anxiety.  Except the lady I know isn’t overweight and has no lymphedema.  She still constantly talks of being in pain and how her heart is racing a lot.  I wonder why she isn’t on an anti anxiety med.  I don’t doubt the mass is painful.  

My aunt does that constantly.  She doesn't necessarily moan in pain, but she moans while she does things.  She convinces herself that everything is more difficult than it is. Driving her someplace would make you want to scream.  She clutched her tiny dog (which is preferable to when she would grab the dashboard), sometimes screams about cars she is worried will come into the street about even if they are at a full stop at a red light on a cross street.   Her doctor suggested anti-anxiety meds and she won't take them.  She is convinced it is all due to chronic fatigue.  

Her doctor had her start checking her blood pressure.  I will give my aunt credit in that she realized that checking it was increasing her anxiety so we agreed she will only check once a week and I will look at the number.

I think we may be talking about the same person!  Does she live in NC?  Lol.
