I wish we had a female emoji smiling, with head slightly tilted and batting eyes. I would interject it here and say, "But you are my friend, Pepper." :-* (closest emoji I could find)

Ah shucks WD.....

 

GMorn everbody, I just read an article about how many friends “successful” peoples have, I speed read scanned it and 150 was the number. I just look in my smart machine, 273 contacts, I would like to know there definition of successful.
Doesn’t the actual term have something to do with “daylight savings” or something like? It’s just another “heaven on earth” day for me.
April 15 is the day I feel the most foolish....
 

Looks like I'll be captain of the 112 foot motor yacht "sea hawk". I assume command today. Hope to have a new captain on Tuesday. In the meantime I'm stuck on board through the holiday. Gonna bring my boy up to stay on board this weekend. Amazing how big a pain in my arse this big boat has become !! I can't believe that no one wants to stay at the job.....its a 120000$ a year job !! 13 years with the same captain and now I've had 4 this year. What a headache !!

I would like to know the definition, also. I will say most of our "friends" are in the walleye world of fishing and there is a tight group that would do anything for you. But that's leaning on my hubby's success, now isn't it? So the list gets smaller for me. But i know in the business world, we don't have any friends and we have a successful business. Er, he does.

No body wants to work anymore, Bart. Not as long as unemployment is giving $$$$ on top of the regular $$$. It's like that every where. I hope you find a crew soon.

SCREEEEECH!!!!! Ok you have my attention "What happens on April 15th?" Please tell.............

I really questioned the whole "Friend" thing back in the very late 70s early 80's when I came tumbling off a "Let the good times roll part of life." I hit bottom hard and there seemed to be nobody around to help this sordid fellow out.
I realized then the meaning of "pocket rich friends" was about-and that feeling of trust was lost. The cold reality hit and never forgiven/forgotten and a not a happy experience really. Being carefree, trusting, and gullible in many ways, and susceptible to many influences is a life lesson of the school of hard knocks.

Morning Sheperdess

Interesting subject that you brought up: "Friend".

Oh you hit a subject that I hold close to the chest the loosely used word. The word "acquaintance" is much more fitting for most if not all true knowing of two people.
It always rubbed a sore spot it seemed when somebody I never met would say "Oh how are you doing my friend?" "Or were all friends here" "Give me a better price my friend"
Oh sometimes it would just come boiling up inside and the thought of: "You know Jack Schitt about me & I about you" But here this person is saying friend.

I was told early on in life that really a person goes through life meeting many folks and many will be different degrees of acquaintances-but if you can truly count more true friends than the fingers on one hand-you're truly are fortunate/blessed/wealthy.......(put what word in that is most fitting)

When one really thinks of what the word means truly, and apply it to the relationships that we have throughout life-superficial at best many are.

Here is a Google explanation:

A true friend is someone you can rely on regardless of the circumstances. While they may give you the advice you don't want to hear from time-to-time, a true friend will never lead you purposely down the wrong road. They tell you as it is while presenting the truth to make it easy for you to receive.

Friends are folks you try to get along with.
The "good" friends you can count on one hand to show up when you're in a pinch are those you return the interests of.
There are a couple that know they can use my couch no questions asked. Meaning my place is yours to share if you need it.

A guy with a multi million value came out and dragged a deer out of the swamp for me one night when he'd much rather have continued to try to decompress at home from another day of business.
But he always had me on call if needed in a pinch too and I covered some things he wasn't able to or wanting to both.
I have asked him for bail money on the phone , joking. He'd put it up though. Probably. Depending on if he thought he might need more help down the road....
 

Ooops.
Mornin all.

Ya W.D. , snow!
(Grumble. Count month #5 of a shovel-able amount.)
Temps 'll be up next week.
If they go down it'll be time to head South.
Wonder if I could pass a Captains license test first try....(?)

Good golly! That wasn’t Cap’n Bart on his first day of the job, was it?
 

Good morning fellas. Tomorrow I'm leaving for Pennsylvania on a one day detecting trip. It should be interesting to say the least.
