No, I was back east.
Someday I'll make it back. I left my Dover apartment in 99 with three cats and a full car, drove 3000 miles, and married the first guy I met! We're still family, just not in the traditional sense. Haven't prioritized the official divorce paperwork but it's sitting in front of me. Im at the point of sharing too much personal information in the wrong thread. Sorry!

Do you have the chance to to leave Mesa? I'd have to hire a sitter (ha! Munchkin's never been with a sitter)
Anyhoo, if you ever feel like slumming it, there's a bar called Big Daddy's within a stone's throw: Cave Creek and Peoria.

Well, I will give you a head's up, Teddy and I go Goodwill hunting up in the Peoria/Sun City west area once in awhile, people get rid of really nice books up there. So next time we are heading that way.... maybe meet up with you. We go every couple of months for fun of it!
There's a secret secondhand bookstore in Sunnyslope. I dove by it dozens of times without even realizing what it was! Let me know next time you are out this way and we can meet there.

Tomorrow. Just realized. It seems it's been a lot longer that that.

Gonna get all mushy here, but I want to thank you all for making my life better, welcoming me - and for the love and lifetime friends that I have made here. (and for putting up with me)

What is a Friend?

What is a friend? It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can be naked with him or her.

They seem to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. They do not want you to be better or worse.

When you are with your friend, you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, - so long as it is genuinely you.

Your friend understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. with your friend you breathe freely. You can avow your little vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meannesses and absurdities and,- in opening them up to your friend, they are lost, dissolved on the white ocean of his or her loyalty. A Friend understands.

You do not have to be careful. You can abuse them, neglect them, tolerate them. Best of all, you can keep still with her or him.

It makes no matter. Your Friend likes you- He or She is like fire that purges to the bone. They understand. They understand. You can weep with them, sin with them, laugh with them, pray with them.

Through it all - and underneath - your friend sees, knows and loves you. A friend? what is a friend? Just one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself.
