So, while I'm trying to watch The Big Bang Theory the neighbor lady comes over and starts talking to my aunt. They're both right here in the living room talking over to the TV. Neither of them has even thought to leave the room, go outside or anything. I turned the volume up and they talked louder.

I have bare'y heard a word of this episode.

And what are they talking about? Nothing. My cat does this, my husband mows the lawn, the other neighbor's A/C person ...

Seriously? Does no one find this inconsiderate?

Yes, yes I do. Ordinary decency is not really that ordinary any more.

So they finally went outside. You know what has 4 minutes left, including commercials? That's right, the tBBT.

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow to go back to Denver, so it won't be an issue. I just thought it was odd.

Neither my mom or my aunt have ever taken into account what other people are doing when they do something that makes considerable noise.

I thought about headphones since I have then near my laptop in case I want to watch/listen to something and not bother them but I didn't want to seem rude and put on the headphones while they were talking.

This is my mom's house. I don't have a say in the matter.

Shake things up. Take an interest in Auntie and the old neighbor lady. Who knows what might happen. TBBT will be on Hulu, DVD, and reruns forever. BTW - I love TBBT. Sorry you missed it.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
