OMG, I dream of such a thing! You are lucky indeed to have such caring friends. I'm absolutely positive they see the positive in their relationships with you. Positive. Can I say again... positive! There is cooperation and give and take-- that's what friendship is all about! And don't worry too much (I know, easier said than done) about when you don't hear back from them. There are many reasons that happens, and even though BP often makes it hard for us to not take it personally, it's good to remind ourselves that it's very likely not that.
And hear hear to owllover99 and sugahorses comments. Good points.
