<--- assures Robin that she is a great friend
<--- meant that she doesn't have any friends who live near her
<--- thinks that is pretty sad
 
<--thinks that as sad as it may SOUND...those of us who have very few close friends are that way because we know what a close friend is supposed to be and we take it seriously!!!!
<--says ^^^ is a GOOD thing...it's NOT sad!!!
<--totally agrees with Robin about close friends vs. acquaintences!
<--is supposed to be doing and IMAX but has no energy for it.
<--wants to take a nap.
 
<--is stopping in at lunch time
<--has a nice, healthy salad
<--also has no friends except DT
<--does not like it that way
<--is probably protecting herself against being hurt
<--is working on the problem, and thinks she is making a bit of progress
<--tells Shelley not to give up!
<--hopes Robin is taking good care of herself and getting better
<--also commisserates with TiG and promises that she will have her own room if she stays over for the NYC GTG ;)
<--says yuck, back to work and back to being nervous again :-(

<-- was aboot 3 years old when <-- remembers it starting
<-- doesn't remember much before being 3 years old
<-- says <-- gets over it by being herself, and coming here, and by introducing people "please meet my friend X" because <-- has noticed if you introduce someone as your friend, they become your friend
<-- thinks it is odd but true
<-- also tries to always be herself because no one can really like you if they don't trust that it's YOU who is in front of them
<-- apologizes for being philosophical

Ms. NP

<---culd have sworn someone methioned spelling
<---must have been a dream
<---was snoozing on couch (again)
<---will send lettle prayer for Ame's sister and Reno church
<---thinks Amy's piercing is cool
<---sometimes thinks pierced or tatooed something would be cool then changes mind
<---thinks if you can't make up your mind about something permanent, don't do it
<---says a lot of the people <---considers good friends started out as DH's friends and slopped over to me
<---'s DH's college roomie and his wife are very good (far away) friends
<---'s DH's coworker and his wife are very good (far away) friends
<---has managed to lure and capture a few of my own who then included DH too
<---has gotten to think of quite a few of you as good friends too
<---always tried to teach DD that to get a friend, you have to be a friend
<---guesses that goes hand in hand with the old golden rule thing
 
<--- is lol at the turn this thread has taken
<--- only has one close friend in the area and a couple more friends who have moved far away
<--- says nearby friend is very busy with her kids and they rarely get together anymore
<--- had lunch with her today, though:)
<--- thinks of many here as friends
<--- saw John Walsh of America's Most Wanted on a program recently and he said you should never EVER arrange to meet someone in person that you only chatted with online
<--- thinks John Walsh would have a heart attack if he knew about this bunch--LMAO!
<--- can spell pretty well, just can't type;)
<--- is glad Robin got her Jimmy Buffett CD
<--- congratulates Amy on her piercing
<--- personally has no interest in a body peircing or tattoo, but she's an old fart and pretty well buttoned up:p :7
<--- hopes Robin feels better soon
<--- offers prayers for Ame's sister
<--- has no doubt that Sis will get what she needs for her DS's;)

<-- thanks Robinella for the zippy prayer
<-- has one friend from night school who <-- emails and occasionally calls, but we don't hang out outside of class
<-- has 2 friends from Santa Barbara who <-- sees when <-- is down there and we email maybe 3 times a year
<-- has one friend from high school <-- emails 1-2 times per year
<-- has one friend from preschool and church who <-- emails about once a month
<-- has one friend who <-- sees about 1-2 times per year
<-- swears that's it
<-- has decided it's enough to be friendly rather than have friends
<-- wants to change the subject because this one is depressing <--
<-- yells THE ZAPPOS ORDER CAME TODAY!!!!!!! :7 :7 :7
<-- hasn't tried on the boots but they are super duper cute!!!
<-- is pretty sure that means they are not comfortable :-(
<-- is going to study right now ! ! !
 
<--- replies to self to say OMG!!! <--- almost forgot to tell you!!!
<--- might be getting a new baby kitten
<--- stopped by her vet's office today to buy food for her kitty and the vet mentioned that she is fostering an 8 week old kitten and desperate to find a permanent home
<--- isn't sure she is going to take him but is interested and is thinking about it
<--- says her cat is 10 years old and she worries that he is lonely when they leave him for extended periods
<--- doesn't know if he'll appreciate a baby kitten, though
<--- 's vet said the kitten is a real snuggler and believes he will get along fine with <---'s older cat
<--- will have to talk it over with DH
<--- says her vet is going to email a picture of the kitten tonight
 
<---thinks Mr Walsh's advice probably holds true in many instances
<---so far has had very good luck meeting Cathe friends in person
<---hopes to do a Roadtrip and meet many Cathe friends in person
<---thinks it gets harder to make friends as you get older - you already have so much history it's hard to connect with someone completely new
<---'s DH is my best friend
<---was friends with DH before we became "involved
 
<-- says OMG Michele if you don't adopt this kitten you are in TWUBBLE with <--
<-- is LOL at Robin and her leather teddy and now she's saying "when we became involved"
<-- is best friends with DH, but it's a leetle different than a friendship
<-- doesn't mind that }(
<-- just realized <-- isn't studying x(
 
<---is excited aboot sis's possible family edition
<---thinks sis should make the adoption:)
<---adds <---'s zippy prayer for Ame's sis and family
<---waves back to zippy Tammy
<---says Lee wanted to know wasn't the spelling of words good enough if you only omitted one letter or added only one extra letter *slaps <---up side the head*
<---will refer Lee to Robin for spelling tutoring:p
<---has to go do SB and some corework
<---says you would not believe what <---ate yesterday:eek:
<---says it was a lot and mostly desserts:9

ETA<---for fun will share that while eating out at a wonderful salad/soup/pasta buffet restaurant (with desserts) <---topped off a meal of large healthy salad with a serving of apple cobbler to die for, a large brownie fudge muffin, a pumpkin muffin, and 2 chocolate chip cookies:eek:
<---continued to eat thru the night after arriving home including a pint of chocolate soy ice cream and...<--- forgets all the other junk
<---thinks the day's stress got the better of <---
 
<---comes back to ^5 Amy on the piercing

<---is off to w/o
