I'll have to talk to these people.

I did not think this through. 😱

Start reading then fall asleep. Or at least pretend to.

Don't forget to record a "You've been Framed" video of hubby & co snowboarding, he's sure not to let you down.

Peopling is sooo exhausting!

janeotn.bsky.social•14 days ago

😳 I know!

clairemyfanwy.bsky.social•14 days ago

Take a book & be engrossed in it 😉

golferman.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ah, apres ski. Sitting by the fire with an appropriate beverage in hand. Only way to go. Have a great day.

thedesertginger.bsky.social•14 days ago

Text them while they're sitting next to you instead 😉😁

janeotn.bsky.social•14 days ago

😆 I will. One friend will get the giggles.

socalkid.bsky.social•14 days ago

catladym.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yikes!

jeffanddonkeys.bsky.social•14 days ago

Just listen.
Nod occasionally.
You'll be fine.

flamingprogressive.bsky.social•14 days ago

Tell them the truth, tell em we are all fucked, then no one will wanna talk after that, enjoy the silence👍

bpsgroup.bsky.social•14 days ago

less is more :)

olsenoid.bsky.social•14 days ago

Not that I recommend we all stay in our echo chambers all the time, but these days going out in public anywhere requiring more than “$50 on pump 3 please” seems potentially exhausting. Certainly not a Sunday activity.

I find employing a non verbal response to unwanted communication such as yodelling loudly as soon as anyone tries to engage is quite effective

Charge that E-Reader now.
Pack many bottles of red wine.
Enjoy what tranquility you can find.

daisydo333.bsky.social•14 days ago

My feeling in the same situation...

Thank you and thank you for the fb.

Hope there are no MAGATs in the Group, if there are say what you have to say to keep your peace. None of these people deserve any of your respect.

Have a wonderful time in front of the fire. Protect your peace! Get Rested.

I'm taking my son and daughter to the slopes. He wants to snowboard and she wants to ski. I'm going to sit somewhere warm and knit while sipping hot chocolate.

Have fun Jane ☕️❄️🌧️☃️

This is why they invented bourbon.

billypilgrim26.bsky.social•14 days ago

Gummies....and then some more gummies 😉

janeotn.bsky.social•14 days ago

I have 18 gummies to last me till Thursday. 🫶😂

Have a fantastic time, Jane! 💙

infiniteishq.bsky.social•14 days ago

I always bring a book, just for this reason!

mpsmomma.bsky.social•14 days ago

I was gonna say this. If you're always looking at your phone, you're rude, but if you have a book, you're serious. The bigger, the better.

sedonarocks.bsky.social•14 days ago

Your virtual people skills are excellent. Just visualize a keyboard between you and whomever, then go. ☺️

jafdip.com•14 days ago

Oh yeah, no I do not wish to people today…

irishknit.bsky.social•14 days ago

Focus on your coffee or cocoa. Enjoy the warmth of the fire.😊

lacentrist.bsky.social•14 days ago

Oops! Have fun, Jane.

nancy-anne.bsky.social•14 days ago

I feel you. I like to have knitting with me. It gives me something else to focus on and a very short excuse to dip out of a conversation. If you Don’t knit you can pretend to be learning. You just need yarn and needles.

defye.bsky.social•14 days ago

Have fun!

renajane.bsky.social•14 days ago

Smoke signals?

bgilles.bsky.social•14 days ago

I give you 10 minutes to be leading the conversation and have them laughing.

suewho82.bsky.social•14 days ago

Wow! He’s impressive! I tried to skate and look at me! 😂 But it sounds nice! Enjoy the time and play nice. Bring the gummies! They can make people that much more interesting. 😆

parsifal74.bsky.social•14 days ago

You talk... everyone else will listen.

sethaweitz.bsky.social•14 days ago

I need pics of him snowboarding.

janeotn.bsky.social•14 days ago

I'll send you a video. 😆

I was skiing at Fernie the last couple of days. Soooooo cold. I had five layers and a flask.

janeotn.bsky.social•13 days ago

See, there's that sweet spot, where it's like -2 and you have tons of powder. Skiing with five layers seems too much at this point in my existence.

Tell me you at least had a hot tub?

algae11.bsky.social•13 days ago

It was about -25. I did get in a hot tub! First day it was too busy.
ALSO, there was a family in it, two young children, one basically a baby. When I went back I checked ages for hot tubs, minimum 5 y.o.

janeotn.bsky.social•13 days ago

We don't have a hot tub. 😔 but it's not nearly as cold here either.

Kids should never be in hot tubs. Parents can be dumb.
