Ok...I'm at a crossroad here.  I heard on the news that Bee's seem to be significantly diminishing in numbers.  A theory is that the radiation in cells phones somehow scrambles the Bee's "senses" and they end up unable to find their way back home to their hives.  Here is the kicker....Einstein supposedly once stated that if Bee's somehow became extinct that the human race would follow four years thereafter.  Up to this moment I have been a self professed Bee Hater...anything that buzzes actually....but this....this sheds a new light.....I have absolutley no idea how I am going to be able to embrace these tiny little buzz bombs that simply send me running into the opposite direction..... sigh

Being new to this site...I'm not quite sure how this diary thing works...that aside...my thought for the day....AT THE END OF THE DAY, IS THIS:  I truly HATE loud talkers....you know who they are...it's the girlfriend you work out with at the gym who's a speaker head screaming the details of her last "sex-capade" at you while you are sweating  side by side on some eliptical sort of machine next to some super creepy, sweaty guy who's eating up all the juicy gossip WAAAAYYYYY more than I am.  So, Mr. Creepy is drooling over this story, thinking that my buddy is some sort of slut, when in fact it just so happened to be one of those drunken "whoopsies" that I'm sure most of us are guilty of.. OR... it's your associate at work who only seems to turn up the volume as soon as you pick up the phone to make the "make it or break it deal".......OR it's that relative...(I'll talk about relatives later) ...that, no matter how close they are to you in proximity...still feels the need to yell their conversation at you as if you were still back in yesterday.

My question is this:  Is there a polite way to deal with this or do you just quietly boil under your skin, causing yourself some sort of premature cancer, while promising yourself that you "will never be that loud talker" This is a tough one...especially if you really do love your speaker head girl friend....
