Im thinking, why did husband set wife down at table? Maybe he is looking for trusted companion for ailing wife. There was a connection there once, not that long ago, where teacher told sarah that her own father died. Was that an early passing? You never know. It may lead to sarah meeting others, working for others.

It is never a mistake to reach out to others. It should be encouraged, not shamed. Yesterday, a neighbor texted me before 7 am to tell me i had an amazon box in the mailroom. I THANKED him. He then texted me an hour later to go the the parking lot. Instead of yelling at him, i texted back, "is there candy?" Letting him know what my values are! He then sent me pictures of a downed tree. Sad, but no candy. I stayed in bed, hopefully incurring no hurt feelings.

Maybe popular people dont appreciate how hard it is for not so popular people to break into society? Maybe YOU wouldnt do it, maybe you would make fun of somebody who would resort to such a tactic, or maybe you could be kind and lend a helping hand.

Why tell somebody, "NOoo! That would be SOOO embarrassing!!" My brother acts like that. Nobody is his friend. EVERYBODY is my friend. Still, neither of us has any actual friends! (Well, i think i do!)
