I'm sorry but the only place I've ever seen that is on TV and that's where it belongs! I must admit I laughed and thought to myself, "Nancy is friends with this person?" I get it though, there are people who come into our lives for some reason or other and it isn't always those we would necessarily pick. <br /><br />Have a great week :)Beatrizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708802259796562524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-52769381208119576362010-03-01T14:17:01.865-05:002010-03-01T14:17:01.865-05:00Thanks for the great post!

Beyond them, they're not really friends, but acquaintances. <br /><br />We got married in our backyard, in the garden. We did our own catering, and invited our 30 friends. No one from out of state, just locals. And no family (they're all out of state, or dead). That made it SO much easier, though it pissed off the ones who were still living. That's okay. We never see them anyway.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651926840296438477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-83650359715259561942010-02-28T23:12:51.990-05:002010-02-28T23:12:51.990-05:00My daughter too is learning the cattiness of girls...My daughter too is learning the cattiness of girls.

She's lucky that you talk with her about it in a meaningful way. <br /><br />There was a time when I had tons of acquaintances, but before long I realized that what I needed was a few really close friends...the kind you speak of.

I can relate to it on so many levels. I inherited the BRCA 1 gene and formed so many rich wonderful relationships as a result. Most of the women I have not met. I drove approximately three hours last weekend to visit one of them that was 68. I call her Mom L. It was like we'd know each other forever. God truly blessed me!<br /><br />I like your blog formate.
