I pretty much pissed my morning away. Didn't get much done except eat breakfast and take a swipe at Samantha's bathroom. However, I met a friend for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I met Sara through Freecycling. She lost a lot of weight, went down a bunch of sizes, and took lots of Sam's 10's and even a few 8's when I posted them to the site. After awhile when I had stuff she might be able to use, I'd zing her an e-mail, she'd come over and have a look, then I'd Freecycle what she didn't take. One day she asked me to lunch, and we both enjoyed it. It's blossoming into a real friendship. Samantha thinks it's hysterical, and her friend, Lilian, thinks I should make friends my own age. (Sara is 50.) Lilian will realize, as she gets older, that friendships are not about age but about compatibility.
Anyhow, thanks to Sara, I had an enjoyable day. She found a hole-in-the-wall vegetarian Chinese reataurant where I had the best green beans in black bean sauce I've had in ages. I frickin' love green beans. FanSee
I love passing on stuff that i know other people can use...And what's wrong with having friends that are older/younger than you are? I think it makes live much more fun that way.
In my mother-in-law's generation, her friends were all around her age. What happened was that, as they started dying - and Mutti was one of the earlier deaths - the last roses of summer were left alone. David's godmother confided to me that she missed her closest friend more than she did her husband after both husband and friend were gone. Hopefully I'll avoid that. FanSee
