littlemiss, you are lucky to have a few close friends, I seem to have lost all of mine. I guess they weren't real friends at all. Maybe my fault as well since I kind of fell of the face of the earth a few years ago (stopped communicating/emailing, etc.), I think I wanted to see who would come back. Apart from my immediate family (not parents though, they've passed away), none did. That didn't help. But I'm glad to know the few family friends I have now are real ones, not just part of a misguided numbers game on Facebook!

The rudeness and selfishness I see in the public these days (dog poop on the sidewalk? Really? Not to mention driving and just getting glared at by some passers-by.) seems a lot worse than I remember from the past, this doesn't bode well for the future I'm afraid. That's a sad thought in itself.
