  5. Unsupportive people....

    We have been friends for over 24 years. Unfortunately, she has gradually become this way. I'm taking that advice and keeping an even further distance until I'm done. This will be hard enough as it is...

  24. This is like going to war...

    Okkkk already. You don’t like the comparison. It was just a figure of speech. There is nothing absurd about it. Your response, however, proves my point. You missed the whole reason of the post,...
