Nice.
When you end up doing something that makes you feel as good as it does them :-) |

That's great! Nothing better than doing something good for someone and making yourself feel great also!

That wasnt what I meant, but somehow I know that was gonna come out. What I really meant wasnt about golf or clothing, its companionship. Ive been back since 05, medically discharged in 06 (my hair is 14 inches long so people cant say they cant tell). I worked fulltime for almost three years and have been going to college here in Raliegh for almost two. Why is it so hard for me to make friends (and find sane dates)? Everyone I try to get close to runs like hell and Im one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Go hit a pool hall, that is how I made most of my friends, granted most of them were older than me they were still pretty cool people to knock a few (count, 20) games of 8-ball out with. |

I have so many family members who are ex-military. I love our armed forces. Living in Colorado Springs affords me a chance to thank them all the time because we are a military town and have a boatload of bases and the Air Force Academy. Way to prove support dude!!!!

I have found that just plain good friends are harder to make as an adult.

Well tomorrow my Army friend leaves for iraq
 we played golf everyday,.(just like he wanted) everyday we'd go in the pro shop ..and knock some h2o back ..shoot the hay with the guys ..in there ..id pick up this putter and play with it "a ping redwood putter" ..(hand made of course) He was like man you must really like that...i expressed ..how i would bought it six months ago but im really not that financially stable to spend that kinda money on something that silly .. So we Went to leave today and he says "Kev" cmere (flags me over to his truck) He says i got something for you.. Sure enough he pulls out the putter... (of course i told him i couldn't take it) but he insisted it was the least he could do ...and he said i had to because he didn't have a receipt kinda brought a tear to my eye ..we shook hands... (again) he jumped in his truck and off he went.... im pretty much still at a lose for words it's people like that...that makes the world go around kinda makes me feel bad like i didn't get him anything
