Vary your friendships:

"I cannot concentrate all my friendship on any single one of
my friends because no one is complete enough in himself."
--Anais Nin

"Fortify yourself with a flock of friends! You can select
them at random, write to one, dine with one, visit one, or
take your problems to one. There is always at least one who
will understand, inspire, and give you the lift you may need
at the time."
--George Matthew Adams

"No one person can possibly combine all the elements supposed
to make up what everyone means by friendship."
--Francis Marion Crawford

That is great Nancy. We can't be all things to all people and have to go easy on such expectations. Being there for the people who count does matter but it is a mistake to expect too much of ourselves or of others.
Friends are a blessing.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Hey...There's my thought for the day!

Here's what I read about the origin of the word "f*ck:

It seems in jolly old England way, way back, it was against the law for two non-married people to have sex. When law-breakers were arrested, the policeman would shorten the charge on the booking sheet to f*ck, rather than write the whole charge of "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge."

We can also thank England for the word cop as used to describe a policeman. It was shortened from "constable on patrol."

It Must Be Great To Be A Man!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IT MUST BE GREAT TO BE A MAN

Your last name stays put.

The garage is all yours.

Wedding plans take care of themselves.

Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be president.

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.

You don't give a rat's @#%$ if someone notices your new haircut.

The world is your urinal.

You never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just too icky.

Same work...more pay.

Wrinkles add character.

Wedding Dress $5,000; Tux rental $100.

People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.

One mood, ALL the damn time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.

You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

You can open all your own jars.

You can leave the motel bed unmade.

You can kill your own food.

You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

If someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.

You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger seat.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

You can quietly watch a game with your buddy for hours without ever thinking: "He must be mad at me."

You can drop by to see a friend without having to bring a little gift.

If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong friends.

You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.

Nancy, they are so true! The white tshirt one made me laugh! The only one I would change from my experience is: Less work, more pay.

Rollerboy

Friday, March 23, 2001 - 09:06 am EditMoveDeleteIP

Nancy, all true except, "car mechanics tell you the truth". We may be more apt to know if they aren't telling the truth, but in this day and age, even that's not a given.

Also, nuts and bolts: lefty loosey, righty tighty. It's in the "Man's Handbook" page 26. You didn't think we were born with all that knowledge, did you?:)

Another great thing about being a man: you can talk about people and it isn't considered being catty!

LETTING GO!!!!
Letting go does not mean to stop caring:
it means I cant do it for someone else.
Letting go is not to cut my self off:
its the realization I can't control another.
Letting go is not to enable:
but to allow learning from natural consequences.
Letting go is to admit powerlessness:
which means the outcome is not in my hands.
Letting go is not to try to change or blame another:
its to make the most of myself.
Letting go is not to care for: but to care about!

Letting go is not to fix: but to be supportive.
It's not to judge but to allow another to be a human being.
Letting go is not to be in the middle arranging the out-come:
but to allow others to affect their own destinies.
Letting go is not to be protective:
its to permit another to face reality.
Letting go is not to deny: but to accept.

Letting go is not to nag, scold or argue:
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

Letting go is not to adjust everything to my own desires:
but to take each day as it comes and to cherish myself in it.
Letting go is not to criticize and regulate anybody:
but to try to become what I dream I can be.
Letting go is to not regret the past!
but to grow and live for the future.
Letting go is to fear less and live more!
