9:43 PM 7/10/06 · There is a cost to being my friend. I go out of my way to help my friends as much as I can and I listen to them when they need to vent...sometimes I even have helpful advice. All around I do whatever I can to keep them in good spirits as much as is feasibly possible.
Like I started with...there is a cost to this.
It's really quite simple and mostly inexpensive.
Every so often they have to put up with the truly ridiculous notions that I come up with.
Really, I think that's fair.
Jenelle: the need for money is a rather annoying aspect to the human species but it is what it is. When I became aware of her search for a means of employ I did a quick skim of Craigslist.org, as it is so much easier to find work for others as opposed to myself, and popped up several possibles with the parameters she provided. At the time I was unaware that she was looking for something more part time...which I've since been giving some thought. I think she should come work for me and get those dirty thoughts out of your heads. What I have in mind is having her carry me to and from work, which she will be well compensated for; just flip me over her shoulder and get a walking. She's very strong and I certainly don't weigh that much. This could work...though the distance might get to her after a day or two.
Rachel: sometimes we get to a point with some people that it becomes intensely painful or emotionally overwhelming to talk with them regardless of the medium. I find there are methods of dealing with this sorta thing if you're creative enough. Say, hypothetically, she had to deal with such a person...I think she should compromise and allow communication to continue with that person. On the condition that he learn sign language. If he needs to speak with her so badly the least he can do is meet her on terms that she can best handle...the guy can talk his hands off to his heart's content. Of course, this only works effectively if she doesn't actually understand sign language.
Now...I'm off to save some baby goats or something!
