Havent got a load of true friends,know loads of people though,just recently met a couple of i thought friends,the first has gone through alot in the past with preventive surgery,dont see her very often but think of her, i told her i had some stuff that i didnt want ie foodstuff from my cupboard,she was really into having it, so walked up the road with a really heavy bag and saw her in the carpark with her husband ran to the car and gave her the bag,she thanked and said he would be in touch no call back,and today saw i wouldnt say a friend as such but a ex colleague who went through a bad time her partner had a affair, tryed to see her now again through coming to the gym where she worked,funny enough saw her today in a shop and she basically said hello she was ok i hanged back to to talk and she was gone fed up being caring!!!!
NB -puddi has a better memory than me so wont post on her threads again -jings-there is a difference between a personal slanging match and a differing opinion -I know it wasnt a slanging match so maybe you dont like someone differing from your opinion (clutching at strwas cos dont know what she's on about) -you have me foxed and that takes a lot of doing lol
oops -did anyone else have a prob posting ten minutes ago -as you can see I did and had to rewrite -couldnt rememeber the first one but kinda had an idea and blow me both went on -double whammy puddi lol 2 for the price of one !!
Yes! The egg timer showed on mine for 15 mins. I retyped an answer in food and drink 3 times, not realizing it'd gone thru' all along. Turned the computer off and on again. Seems to have righted itself.
Hi puddicat, I think you have said what happens to most people during our lives, but we can only be what we are, I have also been through exactly the same sort of things as you, but I will not change, nor will you, or you are not being true to yourself and that is all that matters, Good friends are hard to come by, we are lucky if we have two really good friends that will be there whatever happens, I like to think I am one that would be there.
Morning to u all,sorry about my sad rantings yesterday and a big sorry to dris,when i looked at my replies they were confusing i think, yes i know they were lol!thanks for listening love u allx
It really opens your eyes,doesn't it and you'll know the difference when someone's a real friend. I had a huge fall-out many years back with someone I thought was my best friend-we did everything together and there was no going back. It hurt me for ages and ages. Now I know a true friend understands you and won't fly off the handle at every little thing. You're better than them,try to rise above it. xx
talking of cakes, I did that too-used to make her Christmas cake for her,babysit,took her flowers when she had chickenpox-looking back I had no thanks at all. Now I realize friends don't treat each other that way. I think what hurts is you feel like a mug.
