:rolleyes:

Have we become so predictable that when we say those longed for platitudes . . . . that the deed is done and we move off and get on with life and leave that person behind to pick up the peices?

Why do we bother saying anything if we cannot follow thro on things? for backup or support or a shoulder to grizzle on?

I feel i do this myself . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and lately have had this done to me one to many times by people and i no longer am inclined to ask for help any more . . . . . . does this make me wrong? or just i dont have time? or i am a platitude person too?

How often have you said to a friend, workmate or otherwise someone you no . . . . . and said sure ill help . . . . and never follwed up on this? now this is not a grump at you people . . . . . . . . . . . . .

But why do we keep doing this?

I have had my fair share of life corruptions lately and am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel . . . . . and find the support system i have in place really good . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . my friends mean everything to me, they saw me from go to woe now . . . . . . .

Do we not find many true friends in life? how many friends could you count on at 2am in the morn to say sure . . . ill come get you . . . or ill be at your house, to move you no questions asked? no money expected?

how many can you phone and txt and ask for help . . . . . . . . . . . . then there and now, even if it is only a word of hope, not the shoulder you badly wanted?

Why is it that todays life we are expected to carry on, no matter what, and not be seen as weak or asking for help, when most of at times badly need this and some . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


deep thinking does really help me at the moment . . . . . . . . . . . . . and answers are never what you expect and the least helpful looking person seems to be your best friend in your moment of need . . . . . . and they are bloody marvelous . . .

sorry long and introspective to much i guess . . . . . . . .

and we hurt more people than we often realise in our life, grab hold of those people you love and give them a hug please . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . you dont no what tomorow will bring . . . . . . .

Oh god, I read it . . . now my brain is fried :)

Anyway, I've got one or two good friends who would (grudgingly) help me move at 2am . . . for any of you that want to help me tonight PM me . . . not much stuff, just an old piano that has to be carried down 3 flights of stairs . . . . and oh yeah, my stuffed Tux, but I should be able to manage that myself :thumbs:

Wouldn't count on ANY of my family though . Love them to bits, but know when they ring me once every 2 years, they want something . . . . for free . 		Shortcircuit (1666)

453963 2006-05-11 04:41:00 Ok so i was being presumptious about a 2am call . . . . . . and wasnt meaning im moving house at 2am even i have limits . . . . . . :D . . . . . . . . . . . . but have had to ask no strings attached people i consider close friends move me . . . . . . . . . . . . and they were happy to help . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and i owe them big time . . . . . . . .


and i would . . . . . . . . . . . . if i heard the phone . . . . . . . . . . . cos i dont usually hear it, get up at some ungodly hour and go help a friend in need . . . . . . . . . . . . . . id have to take the tribe with me of course . . . . . but i would be there . . . . what else are friends for?

I know my friends would do the same . . . . because in effect they have done in the past . so why would it change?

But im not talking aquaintences . . . . . . . . sp? because you can usually tell those from the real one eh? Im talking a friend who has been there a long time . . . . . . . . . . . but still you are the one to lose out on the help?
Why do we give them the benefit of doubt and stay friends with them?
Are we predictable and any friends are better than no friends?

are these people that you would want to spend time with ? leisure time? not work aquiantences . . . . . . friends for life . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . true friends . . . . . . . . . . . seem to be thin on the ground . . . . . . . . . . . . .


and hopefully i will strike that balance and be able to help some of my friends if the need arise's . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
