On her way home yesterday, she received a call saying "where are you, if you are out, come for tea on your way home" so she stopped off for a cup of tea but left after only a short while.
Ok, it is quite a shock to see her if you haven't for some time as she has shrunk but her private life is private and so most friends or aquaintances are not privy to the fact that she had a dodgy vein which had to be operated on or even that she had polio as a child. Two reasons, plus her vanity, which is why she made this commitment to herself to lose weight.
You, Dear Readers, know most of the medical saga she's going through but she doesn't sit and discuss it with you and because she does have to pore over the nitty gritty with her medics, she isn't inclined to discuss this stuff with other people as well.
Back to yesterday's tea.. she walked in and took off her jacket and the interrogation started almost immediately.. Was she wearing her hearing aids, yes. HOW had she lost the weight, she explained. HOW much had she lost, she gave the lbs lost.
Then her host, who has gained over 100lbs during the last year.. we kid you not.. said "what rubbish, I am on the Heart Diet from the such and such Institute in California" and proceeded to bore the pants off mama with some ludicrous diet. Yes, you probably could lose a lot of weight on it, as it is virtual starvation but you couldn't live on it for the rest of your life.
Mama smiled and drank her tea and then the person said "Oh course, you need Botox as you have lost much too much weight in your face" and with that, puffed smoke at mama. Who coughed, finished her tea and stood up and said "thanks for the tea but no thanks about the Botox" and went out of the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" the person said and turning mama said "home, it's late, GeeGee needs to be fed, I really don't need someone telling me that I am stupid doing something which doesn't work, when clearly it has, thank you for my tea, goodnight" and with that, leaving the person with their mouth open, she left.. and plans never to return.
In life, as in poker, you have to know when to fold or hold and this friendship has folded.
GeeGee Parrot.

PostScript: She has just received a telephone call from this person asking her if she was ok and saying how nice it was to see her.. the unknown nmber has now been lodged as 'don't answer'.
