For those of you that are acronimically challenged, TMI means "too much information". I often wonder if I am some sort of a TMI magnet because people, most often strangers, seem to like to tell me far more information about them than I would like. A great example of this happened to Matt and I when we picked up our cats recently.
We kept the cats with an older lady that advertised in the yellow pages, but she does keep very good care of them. Buffy had a urinary tract infection and her butt area was swollen and sore, and the lady applied cream to it every day and made sure that she got her antibiotics like she was supposed to. Anyway, when we picked them up, she made sure to tell us all of her observations about the cats and their various ailments.
This is all good information that we needed to know. Somehow, however, this turned into her telling us about a rash that she has in her bra area (among other areas of her body) and somehow this conversation also led into us finding out about how she needs to regularly have colonoscopies. It probably would have been amusing to have been an outsider watching this conversation because I'm almost sure that I moved back slightly when she mentioned a rash and both of our faces were probably a little "off" while she was telling us about her colonoscopies. LOL.
