I tried attempting writing something like 3 times, but I'm like half awake right now. :D nice blog. Friends are good! :) And you're right you get to know them and you can meet someone new and find out everything about them. It's a good feeling! :)

Hi racquel, thanks for stopping by :)

Its great to make friends... always. =)

Hi conflict, I just like to know my people a little first. Hmmmm... scary face, but Happy Halloween! :)

Nice read buddy!

Thanks Mike! Good to see you my friend xo :)

I count you among one of my closest Kare bear.

I'm not on nearly as much as I once was but I do my best to keep up with my friends.

That stupid friends list has got on my nerves since my first day here. I hate that we call perfect strangers friends and you've read my thoughts on it before.

We're friends because for almost two years now we've come to know each other, to laugh with each other, to hold each other up and sometimes carry each other. Friends, more than just an add.

you're my Kare bear:p and I love you for it:)

Ditto Tony... ditto xo :)

I enjoyed reading this post and feel the same way.
Thank you for sharing your sentiments about your friends.

Hi vesti...... boy thats long! You are welcome :)

Heh, he used to call Katydids and Daisies something like that:P

Kaybee, you are comparing numbers when you clearly have 4 times the number I have added:P

It's not the quantity that matters but the quality.

I know you don't have much time, so I kept this short:P

Stormy, I'm simply saying that dropping someone off a 'friends' list due to lack of IM's is not my idea of friendship.

And.... I always make time to communicate... even if not on IM. No, I wasn't here when you posted your comment, but thanks :)

Nice read...It is your post and what makes you happy makes your friends happy. I do not do Im's very often for the on and off the computer reason, and not all people have time to leave everyone comments. There is not enough time in the day when your busy. Take care and I hope you have a great day.

Yes Lana, it is a time thing and sometimes the reality is, a priority thing too. Have a great weekend :)

KB, I love reading about your life. You have been a good friend to me and a good listener. I don't IM often either but if someone needed me I would be there. I hope you are doing well. Take Care.

Hi prelude..... it goes without saying between us two! You know me, and I'm always here in a heartbeat if you need me xo :)

I'd like to think I'm on the list cause you're certainly on mine.

Of course you are E.... I hope you know how much I care and admire you, and your gorgeous family pics! xoxo :)

It's funny, as I was thinking about this same thing before I came across your blog. I actually went through my list and paired it down again. It still has people on there that I let in and then never heard from again. Will have to continue to monitor that. This was a really nice blog and I am glad we have become friends. Will get to know each other better with time as well.

Hi Moxi. I still have a number of people on my list too that have suddenly gone AWOL! I'd like to think I could find them again if they ever venture back here.... which one already has. Life gets busy and things change, but it's great to find old friends again.

So glad I can call you my friend xo :)

It is an honour to be a friend - love Puck

Thank you puck xo :)

the ties you make here are so unexpected, yet so valued, for sure.. very valued :) xx

I know what you mean Lola.... only those here can truly understand what can happen in this wonderful place of 'thoughts'. xo :)

I am truly honoured to be numbered amongst your T.com friends, Kaybee. You are one of Thoughts true ladies with a beautiful heart and soul. =) - Love, Bia. xxx

I don't make friends easy either Kaybee, but I'm glad you're one of them, For an Oz chick You're ok:o) Sheesh with you and Easy in the same area code, maybe I hit the good part of Oz? :o)

Or I'm getting softer......:o)

I am Happy to be your friend, both here and other places!!! Love ya :)

I don't pay much attention to my friends list. Most of the people on there are complete strangers to me. I just can't say no when someone asks, cuz maybe they will turn out to be an actual friend (like you did!). I keep my REAL friends list in my heart :)
