 ID: 262125 Posts: 215 | Date: 2009-09-09 02:14 I think one needs friends because you need to share concerns,share different
ideas and reaching common goals..plus you need to get their perspective on major
decisions.One needs positive friends..They help define who you are.
You are what your friends are.
That said i think that a married man mustn't have too many friends...you'll
bring ruin to yourself..especially if they are single...Friends influence your
decisions and outlook on life.People can always doubt what you say, but they can't doubt what you do. |

You are what your friends are.
You shouldn't be what your friends are. You should be what you are, and your
friends should be accepting of what you are. If you accept your friends
regardless of their faults, and your friends accept you regardless of your
faults, then you have made friends that will be there no matter what. A friend
should be supportive, not overbearing. Though you may hang with a group of
friends, each individual is just that, an individual. If your friends decide to
wear black, and you wear red, does that make you any less of a person? No, it
just means that you made your own decision.
Be yourself, and let your friends be themselves. If you can do this, you will be
friends for life. |

Not like the friends on here who are really only penpals when you look at it
You can get by without friends, many do & make no complaint about it... friends
on any level are optional |

FRIENDS *U* CAN TRUST>>>...Ja Ja Ja!
Need 'em, WANT 'em, & GOD BLESS 'em for being GENUINE!!! 
The frenemies who pretend to be your friends are worthless & undermining.
:PPP
I like what Freddie Mercury sang, it spells out in short form a reminder of what
type of friends are worthwhile. 
Friends
WILL BE FRIENDS, when you're in need of love, or all hope is lost:. . . they'll
give you care & attention...RIGHT 'til thee END./'
Reminders of wisdom I hear echo in the sounds of silence & reflection, evoking
thoughts of precautionary ponderances, where treading amidst the plethora of
humane compatibility......./'
SUM of my Favorite expressions in accordance to the values of which goodness is
operative, provides measure for meridean of fellowship.
+ .. 100 friends who use you can be found a dime a dozen, but a singular solid
friend of 100 years of dedication, can not be compared to.
++ .. William (do-tell) Shakespeare said the following--to which all
relationshal matters can assess a perspective guardian to human affairs:
"To Thine own self be true."
"Some Cupids kill with arrows, some with traps."
"Love looks not with the eYes, but with the mind."
"Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in
the hearts of true friends." By, Cindy Lew
"Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil."
By, Baltasar Gracian

 ID: 293820 Posts: 48 | Date: 2009-09-10 01:17 It's good to have 2 to 3 good friends you can chill with during both good and
bad times. I'm pleased to have you all to chat and share views with. We may
never meet but we're friends, too.  Don't take your friend for granted (or anyone else,
actually !) and he or she will be there for life ! |

Hey Gaz, I'm not trying to be smart or nasty, and I hope you don't take it that
way, but why can't a penpal be a friend? Just because you can't have a face to
face over coffee every morning doesn't mean you can't be friends. |

Agreed Mark, but some bad experiences can leave a bitter taste in the mouth, &
it doesn't have to be a bad pot of coffee to do it...Usually it's the brewer,
not the brewee.

| Date: 2009-09-10 10:00 Many people today have really no idea of how important friendship is, and how
important good friends are in ones life.
At the risk of sounding like I am seeking pity, which I am not, I have a wife
and eldest child both with intelectual disabilities, since my eldest started
school 11 years ago it has been one disaster after another with schools and
individual teachers turning their backs on allowing her to have a future, she
has a disability, to them she is not worth teaching, this attitude has caused us
to pack up the family every couple of years moving from one school to another
within 3 states trying to not give up on her being able to have an independent
future.
To top that off I also suffer chronic illness and in November this year I clock
up 20 years of constant chronic pain.
In all those years of moving, the stress which has sent me to the edge of
insanity on many occaissions, and the financial drain incured in the process we
lost many of the friends we had, I have been in this house 8 months now and have
only had 2 visitors in that time which were people from the past passing
through, but true friendship is so critical to ones sanity, and it is not until
you find you really need a friend that often you find those who you thought
were, are nowhere to be found.
Value your friends, be tolerant and supportive as we increasingly live in an
intolerant world, help make your little piece of this planet that much better
and that can't be done without true friends. |

After reading your post, I do feel a degree of pity. Not for you and your family
mind you, but for those so-called 'teachers'. They are not worthing of their
calling, for they are set in their weays and have ceased to learn. The best
teachers are the ones that continue to learn.
The challenges that life places on your journey are there to prepare us for the
road ahead. There is little we can do to avoid them. Deciding how we choose to
address them will determine the value of what we get out of them. It is the
truly unfortunate ones who do not learn from the lessons life provides us.
As for friends, I truly believe they are provided to us for a reason. Each is a
teacher in their own right. Some will pass on life experiences to us, other will
call upon us to pass life experiences to them. It is at those times that we
should take confort in our ability to help others.
In closing I share this with alll;
In any relationship, the secret to success is not in finding the right
counterpart, but in BEING the right counterpart (be it spouse, parent, or
friend).Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

Even the worst cup of coffee can have the best flavor when shared in friendship.
You can quote me on that. |

I was trying to comfort Gaz, by comparing his bitterness of badly failed past
relationships to the taste of overtly strong coffee ..lol./''Hair' TODAY, (Cy) .:. NET=---> Tomorrow! |

Being the right counterpart, doesn't mean accusing your friend of something you
haven't even discussed with them, Mr. Leonard./'

ID: 188071 Posts: 538 | Date: 2009-09-10 19:12 Leon, I sympathize with you in your heart wrenching situation & physically
demanding endeavors of consistent bouts of completely relocating to accomodate
the unique needs that arrogant teachers refuse to understand.....I've been a
tutor & ran up against mediating in meetings with both principal & teacher, 'til
I got them to bend for the special needs of a particular conern.....Each time
was a VICTORY. 
My stubborness & educatory insight brought about relevant changes that had never
been done, 'til I came along./'
Bless your heart for ENDURING IT ALL, & keep seeking 'til you find the right
situation to where you can be completely settled. Your family will be in my
prayers>
Best Wishes>
Might I also state for the record, I have been a Home School Teacher by a former
state I resided in by their background check of citizen allowance, & by church
approval. I composed each fundamental class aspect, & set up my own system of
order, ran the entire OPERATIONS by myself....INCLUDING:"> Food & Nutrition
too--since I had vocational training & was in the local newspaper, & was also
responsible for Physical Ed. & Music Class as well.........It was VERY
REWARDING.
_______________________________________________________________________
For TRUE FRIENDS:... The motto "STANDBY Me" is an essential factor in tough
times......Don't Kick 'em while they're down, & they'll be back when crud hits
the fan for you./'/'/'/'/''Hair' TODAY, (Cy) .:. NET=---> Tomorrow! |

And I was trying to say that a bad situation can be made a lot better when you
have a friend to help you through it. I know what people think, but I feel that
friendship is one of the most precious gifts that you can receive and enjoy. In
the words of Michael W. Smith-And a friend will not say never, because the
welcome will not end. |
