What do you consider a friend?

Hi Janey. I am like you I can't stand to hang out with those gossiping old hens. I would feel more comfortable around the guys at the stag party too. Most of the people me and my husband hang around with are guys and my husband isn't the jealous type. He knows he is the only man for me. I had more brothers then sisters and hung out with the boys not the girls. My best friend is my husband we can talk about anything and everything. Even our ex's and laugh about it. We have a running joke about both of them. We even considered getting them too together.....LOL The world wouldn't be safe......LOL

Hi Janey. Your right women and tha demon drink in them forget that a man belongs to someone else and you don't touch. Had this one woman come on to my husband one time and he came up to me right in front of her and told me what she said and that embarrassed her. She turned beat red. Funny thing she had come on to me the day before and I told my husband not in front of her. We both busted out laughing right then and that was the last time we went to these peoples home. They showed up here a month or so later and they knew they weren't welcome so soon left.

Haha! I love that! We are the same, my hubby and me. I would say he is more introverted but I CAN get him to talk if something is bothering him, which is brilliant from my point of view. At football (soccer) matches it is heaven for me because it's a male dominated pub we go in beforehand, which is part of the stand. I would say there's 6 women in there tops and John trusts me so much when I talk to some of the guys (he knows them too) and I've never experienced that before. However, I wouldn't like him to be in a room full of women, they're TOTALLY different in my view. Not to be trusted! Especially with the demon drink inside them!

Hi Donsky. And then after you tell them something you don't want told and you find out they did tell it, what then. How do you know you can trust anyone these days? We know a lot of people around here but wouldn't trust them as far as we could throw the house. It is hard to know who you can really trust these days.

Well thats a chance you have to risk. Its like falling in love. You surely can't tell whats gonna happen in the end, but its definitely worth the try.

Hi Donsky. I haven't found anyone other then God and my husband that I would trust that much. And I am in my middle 50's. Certianly not in this area. There is one other she is a good woman and I know that I can trust her.

I'm sorry, there's a typo. It should be "She may not be a popular person for I am not a social climber". Discard the word "finding ". Thanks.

Hi Wookieekyut. I am like you I don't care who they are or what they got as long as they can be trusted. I have one such friend other then my husband. This lady I could walk out of my home and leave a million dollars on the table and could stay gone for a year heck 10 years and when I got back there wouldn't be a single penny missing for it. My husband is my best friend and this woman would be my second friend. I had learned many years ago not to trust some people. Heck when I meet someone I know within a few minutes if I will ever trust them. And I always listen to my intuition it has neve let me down.

Hi Jenny and welcome to my lot. I would like to have friends like that too but they are few and far between. We have a motto it is 9 out of 10 people we meet you really don't want to know. You have to be so careful these days who you meet may or may not be who they say they are. You got to go with that gut feeling.

Well, I know I have been talking about this a lot with my teenagers. I always say one really GREAT friend is better than 100 so so friends. I suppose I value HONESTY as the #1 thing in friendship. I am often known around the family as THE one who will tell it like it is. If you don't want to hear the cold truth don't ask me. In my opinion everything else falls under that title Honesty. I mean if you are honest you won't hit on my husband, you won't steal from me, you won't talk about me to others without my knowledge and you won't hurt my kids. Simple to me but I am always being accused of being brutally honest to quote one of my good friends! :)

Hi Darlenel. I think you hit the nail on the head with your statement there. I think a friendship is earned not just given out to everyone you meet. And like my husband says 9 out of 10 people you meet these days you don't really want to know. There are a lot of people in our community that you wouldn't want to know. I get a feeling when I am around people and it is usually right.
