  So that's a bit of the "deep and meaningfuls" perhaps his time. What do you reckon? Let us know. We'll be looking ou for your reply.

  Cheers, Ozzie

  Fairweather, many of them; ones of convenience.

  Gossips

  Put themselves ahead of you, not willing to sacrifice and to hide behind religion to do it (the Corban syndrome)

  Fading sifts out the real from the fake.

  One-dimensional and one-way. The social activities we can engage in are limited to those that will not prick their conscience. My suggestions are treated as inferior or suspect. We can talk about any normal subject at all, but criticism of the society is forbidden.

  3. Not friends but associates

  I had maybe one person outside my ex hubby that I considered a good friend when I was a dub. She lives in another state and we no longer communicate. Nothing in common anymore.

  I had this one "sister" who called herself my best friend....I liked her ok but never really considered her as such myself. She is the one who told my sister that she thought I was celebrating Christmas....with friends like that, well you know the rest...

  Mr. & Mrs. Ozzie...adopt me...I wanna be an Ozzie and go to the tropics tooooooooooo!!!!!!! Hope ya'll are having a great time!
