ooo, I do love a good horse whipping . . .
Crack him/her/ it one for me.
 
I've just discovered that there is a complete absence of guilt associated with eating a heaping bowl of rocky road ice cream when one works out rigorously for an hour in advance. ;)

Really? Why don't I believe that? :rolleyes:

Dunno, but it's workin' for me!


Well, let's go get some ice cream together and show me just how I can be guilt-free...unless you can think of something better to do with the ice cream.... ;)

Deal! :devil:
 
Friendship is a two way street, and yet it never fails that I am the responsible party for any and all contact.

with a body like yours..you must have a lot of contact...(or people wanting contact!!) ;)
 
What is it with Thursday? Why do people suddenly realize they have a crisis that could have been avoided if they'd engaged their brains on Monday or Tuesday?

Idoits!

You're a sweetheart, but I'm growing convinced that no one really cares to reach out and touch me. I, however, am expected to alert anyone and everyone in my address book when things are going on with me. Amazingly, even when my friends find out things are going on, they're either too busy or too mad that I didn't tell them myself that they can't even be happy for me. The mind boggles.

This is why I think kharma is sometimes a load of bull. I know for a fact that I don't do things selfishly or with intent to harm, and yet plety of crap falls on me regardless. Weird, huh? Maybe you need a Terminator-style secretary to handle the idiots.

Well, that sucks...but, that's how you and I became friends...remember? :)

THere's this saying....

"Sorry I forget about (insert here), but my life got in the way...."

It happens. I am sure I am someone that that happens to as well. I just figure that people are too busy with their life to want to hear from me. There are times that I send out kisses through Yahoo and I never hear back from those people...so, I guess their email address has changed, or it doesn't matter to them....

One thing you have to remember, as long as you reach out to those people, you are still being a wonderful friend. They'll come along..

I don't understand the thinking behind guessing that something doesn't matter to a friend just because they didn't tell you first. Is it really that difficult these days to put yourself in someone else's shoes for a moment, or give someone the benefit of the doubt? Many things in life are beyond our control. Some things tend to require delicate handling.

As far as reaching out goes, I have. Of course, it's never timely enough or frequent enough or detailed enough, but I have. I guess I'm just tired of doing what I can, only to find that it doesn't mean as much to the person on the other end or that it simply isn't good enough.

I've got a very capable assistant (not that I couldn't use another one), but there comes a point in time where I've got to step into the fray and make a bunch of calls to pull someone else's chestnuts out of the fire, although what I'd really like is to pull out my Hanzo sword and put them out of their misery.

That's why I don't have any (locally anyway). Any time I try to make friends with someone, I end up doing all the work, contact, initiating, etc. That's not a friendship. I want a friend who is as interested in finding out about me and keeping in contact with me as I am them.

I really don't know. I don't know what happened betweenyou and the friend that you are talking about. If this is a friend you have had for a long time, then yeah, I can understand how upset you are. But then again, if this is a long time friend, then again, I can understand why he/she might be put out by not knowing "first"...

I only hope that you and your friend can deal with this together. *hugs*

Did that person tell you it didn't matter to them? Maybe their feelings are hurt? Again, I don't know what happened with you and your friend. But knowing you, I am sure that you did reach out. Your life became very busy there for a while and, well, if you reached out and did what you could do and the other person didn't, then I definately can understand your anger.

I have this one friend that we hardly find time to say hi anymore...we IM when we can, but our friendship is always strong. I miss her dearly and I think the last time I actually saw her was in October!! But we both understand that we have busy lives...we don't take what the other person can't do personally.
