I think what she wants is to be able to rant, get no useless advice but still be around people. I think.
i think so too, and suggested it before.
ive often ranted and vented, for then to get advice i didnt ask for. difference is i dont go and punish people for it. its true, my rant sortof loses its punch, when i get tons of advice on how to fix the problem

but then ive learned to let people know i am simply ranting, and not looking for advice.
and in a humble manner, because advice is given in good faith, not as insults.
