friends
Well its been awhile since I last posted anything, Decided today was a good day to start again.
I'm back at work after my vacation (boy was it nice) and we're back on overtime. The slowdown didnt last long.
My question for the day is what are friends? And is it better to never have had any then it is to have them then lose them over a small disagreement?
I have been here a few months and had many friends but here lately a few of them quit talking to me over a small disagreement and I miss them but dont know what to do about it.
So I wonder if it would have been better to never have met them then I wouldnt miss them .
Now what I need to know is if this is the right way to think about it or am I wrong? I know that I have had goodtimes talking to them in chatroom before so Im probably wrong
I know the friends I've lost in life for other reasons like moving or changing jobs have added something to my life by being my friend. So the same thing must apply here.
Well thats enough whinning for now. hopefully my next blog will be on a better subject, And to the friends I've lost here believe me when I saw I miss talking to you.
I hope everyone is having a nice day..
I don't know if there is any one definition of a friend, redneck.
And there are so many kinds of friends--friends of convenience, casual friends, old friends, new friends, good friends, true friends, close friends, fast friends, best friends, etc.
The kind of friends we have change, but it's better to have them than not.

Hi Red - I am so glad you wrote this blog - I for one do not feel you lost me as a friend - I seldom see you and you don't come to chat. I would would love to see you there - LisB has posted with the address to the chat room - come on over and share with us - we would love to have you there. Hope all is well with your and your gal. Glad you had a good vacation and that you are back to overtime.

I hope I'm not one you consider a "lost" friend...my schedule these days has prevented me from getting to chat very often and my time on TPM has been limited while I make adjustments in my life...I read y'all more than I comment, and I'm always available by e-mail if you need me...
Glad to see things are looking up!

Hi, Red. I dunno, I'm sort of at a loss here, with this post, because I thought the disagreement had been cleared up and forgotten and was now water under the bridge. You and Rain came to chat with us twice and I absolutely adored her -- she and I get along great and I keep hoping you guys will come back and chat some more.
The link is in my post from last night, if you didn't bookmark it.
Our personal issues aside, now, I find myself thinking about friendships a lot too. Because of my many moves around the country in the past, I've made and then lost a lot of friends. The internet is great for helping me find them again, but when I do, I sometimes discover we've both changed so much through the years that it's hard to get the old momentum back. It's a shame really. Good close friends from the past become mere acquaintances later when I finally manage to catch up with them. Does that mean that we've all moved on, and changed, and grown up? And is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Like I said, it gives me a lot to think about.

This is what I hate about not being in chat...I'm out of the loop, and you know how I hate that! I don't like that life goes on w/o me!!! :-)

yea lisB I also thought the disagreement was in the past but it seems there are a couple of people that quit talking to me that I miss and the disagreement is the only thing I can think of that could have caused it PS I always love hearing from you
