| You are the Cambodian lady. Everyone seems to overlook you, unless they want something from you. You have a rare and esoteric knowledge, and a skill that is not inconsiderable. Despite that, you remain in the background. Whether that is by destiny or by design is a question that only you can answer.... |

| I just hate talking on the phone. I have trouble coping with the phone conversation going on in one ear, and whatever else is happening in my world going on in the other ear. Drives me batty. Email is best. |

| I learned that when I started to rationalize the gossipee's situation in a more sympathetic or positive light, the conversation would usually turn around.

| I don't feel that I'm missing out on anything. I don't want to be hangning out with scantly-dressed Valley Girls, in a Bar or a Club, where there's Rap music playing in the background, paying a fortune for Drinks.
