LOL.Thanks for that classic tune.

Update .I'm doing alittle better with it.It's about a week in the half into it.
I know more and learned about more on PI,Oak and Sumac alot more now then I did before.

Where I went wrong was wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt plus no garden gloves when I was using the hedge trimmers that sunday all day .My bad.

By the time I cleaned up it was to late.The oil "urushiol" from the PI already soaked into my skinThey say it takes a couple of hours to get into the skin also depends on the persons body chemistry how fast the skin will break out with the rash..Me it took two days until the rashes started to pop up.

I'm glad in the meantime this did not happen when I was on the road in july making my Stevie rounds.It would of ruin the trip .Plus doing the EO17 handshake with PI would not be a nice thing for Stevie.

Plain and simple - my friend is my friend, and our bond is important. I will not be the guy who knew and didn't say anything. But I'll give you the chance to do it first. If you're not happy, tell him and then leave him. Don't lie, don't use and don't cheat.

Of course it could backfire, but you'll know you did the right thing, and someday so will he.

I totally agree with you Karma, cheaters will always cheat so I'd do the same thing for my friend. Being a real friend means also taking all the risks by doing something like this, even losing her/his friendship if this action is the only right thing to do to protect her/his happiness, now and in the future. If the friendship it's really strong and the person is smart enough, the bond won't be broken by something like this.

Talking about friendship..my turn now.
How would you feel/what would you do if a person you have known for 6-7 months, that share with you some passions, who was the first one who started talking with you and with the time you started considering a friend would suddenly disappear from a moment to another without a reason, making you worry and then she/he reappears only to write horrible lies about you to justify the fact that she/he won't talk with you again?
If she/he'd accuse you of the exact same things she/he does everyday, not seeing that she/he has some behavior problems to be solved and must be helped to become a positive person again? I'm not a psychologist, I can't do very much except for giving advices, listen, try to find solutions and to be there as much as possible, being funny and kind. I'm not and never will be a mother, thus my duty is not to act like a mum for people much older than me that act like a 16 yo schoolgirls/schoolboys.
Some people should start to pay attention on what they read and try to understand the meanings of every word, instead of being hypocrites and small minded.
Depression was defeated long time ago without pills, only with my physical/mental strenght and specially thanks to my love for Chris and Fleetwood Mac's music.
I'm a happy person and that's why I REALLY don't want to become depressed anymore for someone who feels sorry for herself/himself, refusing to accept friendly advices, mature critics and doesn't fight. Someone who prefers complaining and "discharge a burden" by lying and offending who is just trying to help and being a friend.
If it's true that liars will always lie, cheaters will always cheat (as we were saying before), unloyal person will never understand the meaning of friendship and will always betray/use someone else's trust, it's also true that noone should be alloweed to hurts us trying to destroy our positivity, happiness, integrity (intended as moral values) and intelligence just when we started to trust them and believe in their friendship.
There's a song which says there will come a time where people who betrayed us will wish we'd still be here for them....I guess next time someone will stick on me like a suction cup it will be an obvious sign that I'll have to run away, not waiting to be fooled again.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies... Oh no, no, you can't disguise. How true.

What kills me with freinds is sometimes they never return a call or email.

What feels worse is knowing you have a date planned and being blown off for that(last night).

I'm sorry about what happened to both of you, what happened to Viv is actually worse! Sometimes it happens that people aren't able to answer soon to a email or a text message, unluckily me too sometimes I can't answer very fast, but I always do for my friends and they know they can count on me.
When you have a friend of course you worry about that person when suddenly you don't get any news for days, thinking that something bad happened to her/him. You wouldn't ever think that that person just betrayed you or is planning to do so without a real reason.
A small minded, selfish person with a lot of taboos who takes herself/himself too seriously and lies will never be a good friend to anyone, except people like her/him.
My idea of friend is someone with whom I can talk about ANYTHING, even about sex and without hypocrisy. If there's a problem or a misunderstanding, she/he should tell me promptly about it, so that we can talk about it and solve it together like two adults.
The real problem is when you understand too late that some people, besides not knowing the meaning of the words "friendship" and "respect", have some huge psychological or behavioral problems in which they try to involve you. If you aren't crazy or yelding enough to stand that kind of behaviour, sooner or later you will be thrown away like a garbage bag. I can count my real friends on the fingers of my hands and I'm happy like this: I've known them for years and I've understood times ago that it's not the number of people you know that counts, but the quality of relationships.
As I told before I'm not a psychologist, even if I like to study people's behaviour; having met the strangest, sickest people in the past (but this is only the second time in 12 years that I have met a similar case, so I was caught off guard) I started to see that some elements or personality traits are very similar in certain types of people with the same issues, so that with the time you can easily avoid them or their crap.
There's another lesson I've just learned at 29 yo: never trust someone you've known for only few weeks or months when that person starts to make you too much compliments, ask you for favors or talks too much of her/his private life since the first time she/he speaks to you and become too "sticky" (is this the correct term?), as if they were living in their own imaginary world. This childish behaviour let you understand how a person is inclined to change attitude from a moment to another without a reason!

My lifelong best friend used to do that to me. Several years ago, he did it about 3 times, in a 6 month period. I'd go out to meet him, and he'd stand me up. Well, I'd finally had it. I completely ignored him for about a month...he'd see me, and ask what my problem was. "Oh, nothing....". He finally figured it out, and we had a long talk about how rude it was for him to repeatedly stand me up. And he saw that I wasn't going to be friends with someone who would treat me like that. He apologized, and it's never happened again!

Yes I know what you mean.That sucks.The blow off crap.I had a get together planned at the house a couple summers ago.I had everything ready .I was waiting and waiting and getting pissed off by the minute.To find out they were to busy working.
Which was BS.

Sorry to hear that Viv your friend did not show up.

True friends come to mind when I hear this classic on the radio by Dionne Warwick .

"That's What Friends Are For "
