Since it's just the 3 of us here on a Friday night, what does that say about us??? Are we the cool kids meeting up at the favorite gathering spot, or are we the wannabes that have nothing better to do??
Just wondering cuz I'm worried that I'm slipping more and more into the wannabe realm.
Well, home isnt such a bad place to be Ghost...all my favorite stuff is here...I dont have to fight traffic, long lines...and two cool ladies are here as well...what is not to like?
Long story short, my alchoholic husband chased away all of my girl friends over the years, along with everything else he's done. I've tried reconcilling with some of them, but it just doesn't seem to work out. Too much water under the bridge, so to speak.
You could move here, Ghost... high priced shool district could probably use the help. I got girl friends we could go out with.
Understand completely where you are coming from. It took me a long time to decide to make friends I could go out with. I love me my home... could totally be an agoraphobic... but sometimes going out is just the thing to make you forget your cares for a while.

I'm a homebody but sometimes I wonder did that happen because that's what I wanted or because I got tired of my so-called friend's bs? I swear all my real friends are in my computer.

Truthfully, that's where my friends are too Woo....right here on the forum. I didn't abandon my real life friends, but they sure did leave me just when I really needed 'em the most. I know all the reasons why, and I don't blame any of them, but I would've thought at least one or two would have stuck around. Just isn't the case.
I am sorry to hear that Ghost, but I understand. People can be so judgemental, when really you were doing the right thing, no matter what they think or feel. It is harder to make friends at our age too. You get weary of people and it is hard to trust most nowadays. I am content being home for now...but once Emily is out and about and does not need me, I will be in the same boat. I have plenty of 'friends' but have put myself in a position that I do not really do too much with anyone but my family. The older kids are done with us for now, so I am clinging to Emily. I too feel closer to most of you here though than most people I see everyday. I am also so far away from where I grew up and most of my childhood friends are still in touch and see each other, so I lost out on that too. Glad for FFR!
We would! Hopefully we wouldn't all be sitting around someone's living room typing away at each other! It would be great fun to get the gang together sometime.

it would be and we have talked about it before, but everyone is pretty much broke! I took two trips this year I will never have paid off! If one of us could win the lottery....
I'm playing. If I win, I promise I will pay for a group trip somewhere. Already planning on hiring Dylan's band to come play "Take This Job And Shove It" if I win, so what's another 10 or 12 plane tickets amongst friends?
