Friends give us their friendship and all that goes with it,laughter,support,loyalty,trust,companionship,sympathy,new interests.When we give friendship,we get friendship in return.It truly is a gift we give ourselves.
Unfortunately,its easy to become so busy,self-absorbed,or cautious that we shut ourselves off from the possibility of making new friends.
Sometimes we even shut ourselves off from friends we already have.So,lets be careful that it doesn't happen.We always need the ones we have.Opening ourselves to friendship takes time and commitment,and it involes some risks----but,oh,the possibilities of having met them and all the laughter and good times you will have.I will try to be open to new friendships,maybe even unlikely friendships.If I want my life to make sense,I need to start with a mental map of which direction I want to go.
Nicely put. One should always have a plan - in every area of life...
ReplyDeleteI like being open to new friendships.That's how I met you and Vixen.Caution and suspicion are all right in small measure,but sadly,they rule so many people's lives now.It's so easy to become obsessive about possible dangers in being open and friendly,that you can ruin your own life without any outside help.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy I met you.You listen to all my boring stories about my grandkids...HA!
Most time I do ,but not all time ,I am getting better,I guess some of the Vixen vibes is rubbing off on me,it nice to have someone who can hold it together...I think my comment got lost...Nanand J.J.said they who who/where the stalker is,they will tell us if we promise not to tell,should hear real soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your stories,I talk about you and vix so much I think everyone knows you both,I will get to meet you both,if things go well
ReplyDeleteI think ,if you follow one or two rules of caution you can enjoy friendships on-line without second thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI like it that I have an outlet for my "off-topic thoughts". i. e. when I have watched a reality show that was so bad that I just have to snark/write about it.
Fuck the stalker.Nobody really cares.Much more interesting would be if your family-source would kiss and tell...LOL
A few people (no names)are obsessed with the stalker.Without her,their lives would have no meaning.They would have nothing to talk about.
ReplyDeleteAside from them,not too many people even know about her.
It would certainly be more interesting to know what goes on in Dave's house or in his devious little mind.
I hope Aunt May hasn't lost her teeth yet.I haven't met Jill,but I know I'd love her.Are you getting tired,with all the guests keeping you busy Nee?I'm sorry i haven't been around too much this week,too many places to go,people to see.
they did tell,I told you they were full of shit,they say she is living ere in the redlight zone,hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a more dangerous place to live.If she really is there,and it's possible,I hope she carries a gun.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying every minute of it,I like this playing house,aunt may still have her teeth,Jill is having a ball with aunt May,sJill know about 8/9 italians words she talks to aunt May,No they didn't know any thing about the stalker,said no body wants to stalk him.
ReplyDeleteVix we all needed aplace to blow off steam,anything goes,name of the game FTBB
ReplyDeleteAre you sure their information is bullshit?It might be true.She would have to be really tough to survive there.From the picture I saw of her,she looked like a nice middle class lady.
ReplyDeleteJeannie they don't know anything about her/him..I still say the picture of her walking look like a man in drag,they just trying to rattle my chains.
ReplyDeleteI guess you grew up with a house full of people.I was an only child and when the guests are gone I like the quiet time.I'm better with a couple of really good friends.Then I really let my hair down and have some fun and laughs.
ReplyDeleteThey are talking about the redlight here in Shreveport.
ReplyDeleteThere ain't no way the stalker is in Shreveport.You're right they're full of shit...HA!
ReplyDeletePour them another drink
It's not as noisey now,but we get together often,we live out,so it is pretty low key,
ReplyDeleteJeannie/Cupcake hop over to my place and tell me if my latest sentence MAKES SENSE. I need your verdict!!! STAT
ReplyDeleteShreveport? I thought she was in Mexico?
What's a Louisiana recipe for eggnog?Or do you have a different Christmas drink?
ReplyDeleteI make a killer punch,warms the bones.
They are full of it,I have plenty of company,Jill,Gilly,Gil,Dad,Jeannie and Vixen,my day is full.
ReplyDeleteladies! YOUR VERDICT on my last sentence in my new post. Does it make sense? STAT! PLEASE!!!
ReplyDeleteGluehwein and Jaegertee will raise even the dead on a cold winters day.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell are those two things you mentioned Vix?
ReplyDeleteSis mames a good eggnog,Dad makes a mean punch that will make the peach fuzz on the kitty curl up.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies. Your comments are very appreciated.
ReplyDeleteGluehwein (Hot wine) and Jaegertee (Hunters tea - hot rum with spices) are the number one beverages in the Alps for Skiers. They are hot and they contain a lot of alcohol. Everybody who has spent his winter-vacations in the Alps will know them and their devastating effect on sobriety.
Shit I can give these fools anything after they down 2/3 dad's puuch..I taste it,real smooth you can easily drink to much...
ReplyDeleteLadies would you like to hear about when I was arrested the Xmas holidays when I were pregnant with Jill..Dad gets a kick out telling it every year...
ReplyDeleteThats the hidden danger - the sweet hot drinks are the most dangerous ones (for your sobriety).
ReplyDeleteYou were? TELL US ALL ABOUT IT. I love scandals....LOL
ReplyDeleteCome on,Nee,give it up.
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar drink,mulled wine with spices and cinnamon stick.Boy,that's making my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff makes you drunk by only tinking about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's to long for here I will do a post on it..the visitors will love it ..I told them I was a mean bitch,and bad is the name of the game.(GIGGLES)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you ladies noticed but we have had over eleven thousand viewings.I think that's pretty amazing.I drink a toast to all three of us...cheers.
ReplyDeleteI got some bubbly....We haven't been up 2 months, I will get the hang of it,we will reach for the sky by the 1st.
ReplyDeleteThe three musketeers are are in a class by themselves,we truly are a tough act to follow,right Ladies.
ReplyDeleteAhem,.... I think this is great and we have attracted some interest (especially from those who shall not be named). We rule!
ReplyDeleteHowever, there is a BIG BUT to it. I will write it to cupcake in an email and she can tell it to you.
I promise I will spend more quality time on the blog in 09.The holiday season is just too busy.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I have time this evening is because Brian has a bad cold and we couldn't go to an important family party.
Relatives came in from all over,people we haven't seen for a while.My grandson Jason was there.I haven't seen him in nine months since he's been away at school.I was very sad to miss him.He goes to school far away.
The party was in Hamilton,A large city on Lake Ontario,at our son Steve's house.He and his wife went all out to make it nice.
Some of the kids have been calling me in the last hour to tell me what a great time they had.Brian always gets sick at Christmas.I think it's because he doesn't like Christmas.He and Vix would get along great.
Brian, bless his soul. I can understand how he feels. Next week the same time it is already all over..LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat about the masses of snow you have told me about the other day? Has it gotten any better?
o.k I e-mail you Jeannie
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to get another heavy snowfall last night.However it turned out to be fairly light.You could hear the country sigh with relief.We haven't dealt with the last storm yet.
ReplyDeleteWe like a white Christmas,but we don't like to be up to our shoulders in it.
Jeannie we will get through this holiday season and then we can get back on track.
ReplyDeleteThat is good to hear, Jeannie. Too much snow can cause power outage and roofs to cave in. Especially if the snow is wet and heavy. Been there done that. Therefor, I am more happy to have not to deal with snow where I am.
ReplyDeleteJeannie we love them anyway,we really couldn't get along without them.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of skiers and snow boarders who are ecstatic about the snow and most people own a snowmobile,they're pretty happy.
ReplyDeleteYou go a little further north of me and you need snow shoes to get around.
Right now,I feel the same as you Vix.Pretty to look at,hard to deal with.When we have a power outage in winter people die,mostly old folks,trapped in their houses.The elements have no mercy.
ReplyDeleteProblem is, we all get so used to using power for almost everything -heating, eating, computers. And a few days without power can have devastating effects. On your mind and for our health.
ReplyDeleteAfter growing up in a different climate,does the heat ever get opressive?Do you miss the change of seasons?
ReplyDeleteSince I grew up in a part where it is almost 4 months Winter, I can't say I miss it. Winter in this part means occassionally rain and lower temperatures (it seldomly rains during the rest of the year) - but it never goes below 54.
ReplyDeleteSummer is a different matter - 110 is the norm and sometimes one has problems with breathing.
Thanks Vix, it sure is swell I know how to do the nasty,cause I am dumb as shit when it come to gadgets.(GIGGLES)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Thus the statistics are clearer and more accurate.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess I will say good nite ,I hear Gil blowing his Sax,he's feeling pretty good now,he wake my babies up I am going to beat his long arse.Jeannie,take care of Brian,he will feel better tomorrow.I think I will go and see if he will try to peek at his stuff.(GIGGLES)
ReplyDeleteGood night, CUPCAKE...and be a good girl...
ReplyDelete
