i don't know how it happened...


i am basically and have been for most of my life...

""" the Lone Rangeress...."""



to start off on this site,

with friends in a friends list,

i thought it was very weak and very dumb...

Who needs an entourage???


not me....

i was thinking....

I did not want anyone to be in my friends' list


but then as i went along....


i realized i did want friends

and my profile looked kind of lonely without any...


some people get intimidated by the list...

they think i won't value their friendship


not the case at all....


i don't know why they get intimidated......


i am still single

and haven't decided on who i want to be with


as my life partner,

or even if he is on this site...



some people get mad at me,


accusing me of collecting friends...



that is not the case....


and anyway...

what wrong am i committing in having

a lot of friends & acquaintances...?

what laws have i violated


truthfully none...

it wasn't like i twisted someone's arm to be my friend..


and i don't twist anyone's arm to stay on my list...


in fact, i have also received

many many friends requests along the way ,

just from many people who simply liked my profile

or who liked what i said in the forums....


even if i don't speak with someone for a while,

heck if i know what my absence might do in their lives?

they could get very depressed

if one day they check their profile and i am gone......


i have gotten mail recently from people

i hardly ever talk to on my list..

they say things like....

oh, i really love your smile...

it brings joy to me when i see your bright smile...


and i have gotten mail from men or women

across the country or across the world

and they tell me that they love

the different photos i post

or the songs in my profile....



sooo, I've really thought about this, many times,

and i have decided that

i really don't see the reason

to delete someone from my friends list

if i do not speak with them everyday

or even every week...


it is not humanly psssible to write everyone every day...


even if i had nothing else at all to do ...ever...

and so i often send group mailers

and post stuff in the forums to keep in touch...


and with my painful back injuries
and nerve damage...
and carpal tunnel and such,,,

it is a miracle that i even can type

and keep in touch with anyone, truly...

but out of love and courtesy and caring for people,

i push myself harder than some others do...


some accuse me of making waves...


but it is the person who is rowing the boat,

who is making the waves......


if you want to send some positive feedback

that would be fine...


if someone has only nasty negative things to say...


then please spare yourself
& the rest of us,
the bitterness..



thank you

Right on, my friend!

*raises glass* Here's to friends (I actually read that whole thing).

<<< to Friends >>>

The friends I choose would never react negatively and get caught up in "petty" drama.

They are to busy "making waves" and steering their own boat through them. A "friends list" here or anywhere is (for me) about QUALITY and not a collection or quota.

And to all friends here. Even though I live over 6000 miles away, Here's to you.

Totally agree sweets .. it's why I started the "I get by with a little help from my friends" thread ...

There is nothing wrong with being open to new and all friendships on here ...

As I say in that thread .... JSH is like a cyber CHEERS
