I know how you feel and of course ...Hi Magnumlady.<br /><br />I know how you feel and of course you have to define 'friends' - someone who lives in your pocket and is a bit part of your routine or someone who simply says hello and passes the time of day? I think in truth we all have fewer friends that we share any quality time with that we would like to believe until we actually sit down and try to list them - I guess that we all have more acquaintences than friends - we share that commonality.<br /><br />'Virtual' friends can be friends indeed; because of the anonymity of the Internet we tend to open up more because the confidentiality is almost assured and there will ususally be no lasting embarassment. Using gut feelings can normally weed out the weirdos.<br /><br />Honesty through such virtual friends is more likely too I imagine and sometimes that is what we need as long as it is tempered with kindness and support. I bet you have opened up a new world with your Internet exploits and I know you get a lot from it - long may you enjoy!<br /><br />XXRarelesserspottedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865928245970626612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-64292286559951963532009-04-22T16:54:00.000+01:002009-04-22T16:54:00.000+01:00Your friend is very lucky to have you.
