Honey123 said:Really? Why don't I believe that?![]()
impressive said:Dunno, but it's workin' for me!
Honey123 said: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....![]()

impressive said:Deal!![]()

Idoits!
lucky-E-leven said: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.
Honey123 said: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..

lucky-E-leven said: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.
