After a lengthy discussion he said, "There is no problem at all with what you said, and I think it needs to be talked about, but you spent a lot of time telling people what NOT to say, and zero time telling people what sounds good. People are going to stop talking to us altogether."
OK - so we don't want that to happen.
I mean everybody gets frustrated right.
Please keep talking to us.
And in case you find us venting, and yourself at a loss for words, here are some our our favorite responses we've received when ranting:
1) We love you guys.
2) Yikes. That sucks.
3) A box of soap that smells like the beach. No lengthy diatribes, just a reminder to take a long-hot shower.
4) A hug.
5) We love you guys.
6)Duuuuuuude.
7)A note that said - "F@&* cancer - no seriously F@&* cancer" (but the full R-rated version)
8) We love you guys
9) Sorry your day sucks
10) A text that says "No need to respond - just thinking of you."
11) We love you guys.
In a nutshell - anything you say is better than saying nothing. We can't ignore this and we appreciate that you don't either. But sometimes, we just have to rant.

We love you guys.
You can have a do-over of Christmas Eve. The person telling you this ALWAYS has a Christmas Eve do-over (on Epiphany) because we're never together (awake) for more than two hours on Christmas Eve. Do-overs are fun and more relaxed. What's your normal menu on Christmas Eve? I'll cook it and deliver it. Name the day.
I bet you're going to get a lot of soap, btw.
We love you guys.
