Silly women!

Another silly comment about my head / hair / lack of! At a course for work today and getting a cup of tea at the registration part of the morning. Woman walks right up to me "Are you on the chemo?" My colleague beside me said later that she was go smacked!! I said that thankfully i wasn't and that my immune system is over active not allowing my hair to grow properly. Oh, she says and pours a coffee!! She was fortunate not to get my tea over her head! Then her equally silly friend pipes up, "Have you ever tried a grounding blanket?" I took a deep breath and said no thank you I have exhausted all avenues and that my condition was a bit more complex than what a grounding blanket may offer ;-) My colleage and I sat down, googled grounding blanket and had a good laugh.. what is the other option than to laugh??!!

I wonder where the hell she heard about that? And how she even had the nerve to say anything to you like that. Lol! Dumb, dumb, dumb!

I think one must be grounded for mind health, however, I dont see how just a blanket can do that for anyone. By the way, never give up, there are always avenues and roads to walk.

For goodness sake! Two idiots in the same room....I'm glad you rose above it and could have a laugh with your colleague

It's really amazing the lack of tact some people have. I've been asked if I have cancer on two separate occasions. When did it become acceptable to ask people you don't know if they are ill? I'm glad you were able to laugh afterwards.

What makes me more upset than anything is when people; usually "friends" who say maybe my hair loss is due to stress. Really?!?!?!? I just want to slap people when they say that to me!!
UGH!

Thats my point (kryssiecat).....strangers asking about information that is simply none of their business. Such a lack of boundaries....really now....

I have been asked more times then I care to mention if I have cancer (by strangers)....I just say no...with no other response one way or another. I feel no obligation to educate strangers. Its the closest I am to being tactful and not letting my inside voice respond.

Some people are so exhausting. I'm glad you were able to handle it so well. Sometimes I fantasize about saying something like "is that you face, I think mud will help that!"
