[QUOTE="Star*, post: 136621, member: 4964"] Nomad, I'm not sure what to tell you. It's a judgment call at the least. I do know that if I'm not happy or comfortable in a group that I have 2 legs and I can excuse myself and leave. This is what I have done recently with no regrets. I like speaking with people who are high achievers because it is stimulating to me. I enjoy sharing knowledge, I love to learn. However; I'm nearly as comfortable with almost anyone because I'd like to think I'm more interested in a persons character and heart than anything else. With your group - the only thing I can suggest is to maybe keep abreast of current events, and if someone seems like they are leaning towards going on and on about Jr. - during a break spout off about "Did you see the New Russian President? or HOW about that bill to make Polar Bears endangered because of global warming." That seemed to divert the Kid talk alltogether. Sometimes you can set up rules of the group. No kid talk. No husband bashing. No chocolate dove covered ice cream bars.....stuff like that so everyone feels welcome and can get with any conversation. You have keen insight - and you sound like an organizer. All you can do is suggest this. hugs Star [/QUOTE]
