just looking – I feel for you!!!!! I had a friend who did that ALL the time, and she said stuff that weren’t believable for a variety of reasons. I felt like busting her out on it all the time because it’s the pits to have to listen to it when you know that they are lying.
You could call her bluff (if you do it in a non-confrontational way it could work) or just in your head be like she is doing this because she is a nebach and doesn’t have any self esteem and just grin and bear it cuz you can’t change her.
Good luck!!!!!!
