What makes a good friend?

Misterq.

Thanks for the thread..

Most of my life youth and process of aging adulthood, hee hee, personally felt friendships took very long time to develop, grow, then bonds connected. But, the past 5 years, care providing, meeting new people, exposures in my times of doubt, depression moods, sadness the ones needed the most really not there in my desperate time of need as you were for them..never wanted to burden my friends with my problems always felt they had enough on plate too.. not to say do not have any true ones but funny as it may sound 1 faithful loving female for 25 years, and 3 male friends grew up with. Never left each others sides.

But trust important, ability to feel confidential disclosure/feelings not broken which shared. Inner most feelings and truth. Laughter, so much, good times, shared entertainment, books, music, movies, dinners. Being one self and letting hair down not pretending to be some one your not.

As difficult some times may have been for me here, explaining..hee, even lengthy oops, I have found from a distance some of you supportive most important in my personal times of real need having no place to turn to share. Not wanting to burden the small few who worry about me now..some whom write often with here have helped me in my difficult times of late. So for those, I do thank you from my heart..
Thanking you Misterq for helping with music suggestions, sites, kind words, to my O.K. (Orson) who dedicated a personal thread to me which recall he said not every tom, dick, harry…hee.. hee to mizzy’s offered poems, support, advise, sophia’s wonderful music choice/help too…and few others who took me seriously, not laughed or made fun of me in degrading matters..will even throw the name out for RubyRed, and geez Louise we had our times too, but she us smart, and has a heart, DC I’d see it at times..and we are hopefully going to have bloody Mary’s together and eat at that fish side…thanks all and to few may have missed, and never will I fail to mention Septical Guy for his help/support as well..

Supreme overload paigey..

My daughter around your age and I both eating lunch together so rare as we two run different directions.

BUT…reading your comment, looked at mine and asked, new word unfamiliar with or a UK thing..? Not knowing either had to look this so call word up. Thought word..

Am a crazy mom she will tell you, usually designated driver, and 4 others who call me second mom, live and eat, breathe any and everything in my lifestyle/home, I almost choked on my own food, as my kid spit out water drinking…

You gave us much laughter at lunch time and tears. New word my ass…or arse you call it… PERFECT…

Georgie, has my daughter texting her friends to watch now… she said to tell you…”Real World” but she thinks UK better than ours.
You made both our day..thanks…..

Someone who has your back no matter what, someone you can talk with about anything and the conversation is kept private, those are nice qualities I have appreciated with some over the years…
