I've lost so many friends

[CatWoman]

We laughed together, cried together, cursed at each other, and consoled one another.

I think the hurt I feel is why I don't go out of my way to make friends with the newer members.

11. You couldn't get rid of me if you tried, CatWoman!

Well, I suppose you could always put me on Ignore. But I won't leave of my own volition!

[redqueen]

13. You just reminded me of that Girl Scouts song.

Sorry you're hurting, CW... wish there was something I could do to help you feel better...

:hug:

14. Once bitten, twice shy-meow.

I had my trust (and heart) ripped apart in 1969. I have lost so many friends and family over the years that I've forgotten some of them now.

I'm 55. Forward, meow.

16. This is the secret, CatWoman:

Never get too attached to anyone. Thoroughly enjoy people's company while they're in your life, but don't necessarily expect them to be around tomorrow. The only constant of life, sadly, is change.

17. you know, DU burnout comes and goes....

One day DU is the schiz, and the next we're chafing at the rules, or the unbelievable hardheaded idiocy of DUer X, or just the infuriating lack of continuity that attends a community that is constantly renewing itself.

I still wonder where a lot of those old-time DUers went.
