I left a voice message for childhood friend, someone I've know for many, many years two days ago regarding my grandchild having a seizure due to her temperature rising so quickly. I also told her as I was crying in the message my granddaughter has pneumonia. I'm shocked she never called me back, or even at least sent me a text regarding it. She instead sent me a video of her granddaughter riding on a ride & some other pictures. Not one word about my granddaughter & how she even is doing.
I would never treat someone like this even if they weren't a friend. I don't even think this woman realizes what's she's done. It's actually scary how some people can be. She herself has had several tragedies in her family, & I responded right away & also kept inquiring how they were. I guess it's a one way street with her. I should really just stop talking to her, but I've known her all my life. Do you think I should say anything to her about this, I personally feel it wouldn't do any good, so I'm just not responding to her pictures which are meaningless right now to me? What would you do, and what do you think about someone who would do this?? I know this for sure now though, I will never tell her anything that is going on in my life especially if it's something bad. She seems the type to freak out over tragedies, she won't even watch the news and never knows what's going on no matter how bad it is. I stopped being her newscaster long ago because I think it's insane to not at least keep up on world events to some degree.
Answer
I think it's weird that her only response was to send you a video of her granddaughter. I don't think we're getting the whole story here. Being angry at/offended by someone for not reacting to something the way you wanted them to react is selfish. It's also setting you up for a lifetime of grievances.
Ps. The standard and popular media nowadays is propaganda and filled with lies and half truths.

Does your taste in music suddenly change when you fall in love?
Q. One minute your listening to swearing, thrashing, screaming demonic creatures and the next you're listening to love songs you used to hate...
Answer
My taste in music has changed gradually over the years, some due to conditioning.
I do not know exactly how I came to know so many of the pop songs of the sixties because I did not consciously sit and listen to music, although I did take dictation in shorthand off the radio quite often which included songs.
(I took from newscasters and TV programs, also. Became very fast & accurate)
I know the words of many songs from the 30's into 70's, mostly pop or country, country western, many many Christian hymns and Christian popular songs. I know old ones, which I detest and make my skin crawl. I can recognize some operas, musicals, and classical. Although I love classical, I have never tried to recall the names or composers except in music class. I do recall the ones i had in there... some good listening.
The change is that music from the sixties is hard for me to listen to, the pop music and some of the country, due to the music bringing back feelings which are hard to bear, very hard: For instance, the song by Barry Sadler about the Green Berets about the Vietnam War.Then there is another one which was later about "LOOK what they've done to my song, Mom. Wrapped it up in a plastic bag and sent it all back home." Dead from the war.
My husband was in Vietnam when I was eighteen.The sixties were very very hard. The later sixties are better, in spots.Some good music there.
We were in Memphis in the end of the 60's. Elvis, Orbison,
Gary Puckett.
Then there is the pop music of the late eighties and nineties, same thing. Hard to bear...I heard a lot of that then when I was going through
being divorced. I can recall where I was and what was going on, the emotional
sadness, the feelings of being alone.._" another night slowly closes, in and I feel so lonely"remember that one? I hate it. " One is the loneliest number you will ever do" ... That one just rips my heart out. I remember being alone, being unemployed, newly divorced. My children were not there on the weekend, I had no money, no friends, got into the car to go to the movies and started crying and could not go to the movie with that song ripping my heart out. I remember the music of the times, whatever it was.
So I avoid that musc. Seems like it is the pop music which I listened to at that time, every day on the radio, although I don't recall setting the station. Must have turned it on to hear news or something and left it on.
Odd thing is that we loved gospel quartet music. Sundays we would put on
LP albums and mellow out listening to gospel quartet music. I don't have unpleasant associations with that. I still love the
Blackwoods, the
Speers, the
Cathedrals, the Chuckwagon GANG, OAKRIDGE , etc.
I love instrumental music, country, bluegrass, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and piano. I love Christian music. As I said, I have so many melodies and words of songs in my head ...you would not believe me.
Now, I cannot stand the romantic stuff at all. I am not feeling the least warm and fuzzy. .
Done. All I have to do is even consider it, with no one in mind , and life ends. It is a joke any way. Want no mush in the movies, fast forward, nor in music words.
I like the ones i said,
Christian and some classical, instrumental. That is what I listen to at home. Of course, others do as they please. I impose nothing on anyone.
