If you run out of toilett paper, you can always use corn cobs. You need two reds and a white. First, use a red, then use the white to see if you need to use the other red. People are much too dependant.

All I know is that I do not get TOO CLOSE with members of the opposite sex. The heart is desperate.
My best friends have always been female. How do we distinguish what is "too close?" You could be missing out on the best friendship you'll ever know.
I can't beleive that we should live our lives afraid of screwing up. We should understand our motives and desires. Come to grips with them. We must have a litmus test, but its so damned hard to be objective when you're around someone who makes you happy.
She credits me with saving her marriage--her husband was an imbecile and didn't realize there was a problem until I came along. Then he started to see how he was treating her. I never understood him. He tried to be my friend even after his wife told him she was in love with me. It was as if he couldn't accept that. Of course, he was a smart guy. I think he figured out pretty quick that if he was hard on me, she would leave him.
I just don't know. It was a no win situation.

I guess my point is that I've had numerous married female friends that remained completely honorable. I don't see a problem with that. I trhink the problem was I met her when she was having marrital problems (the hadn't slept in the same bedroom for 2 years). Had her marriage been strong, I have no doubts that she would still be the best friend I've ever had. But there is no doubt that we got way too close. She made a pass on me, and I didn't stop it. I returned the gesture. We never made love, but we went as far as you can go. That one night cost us both a dear freindship. I still have mixed feelings about it. Rage, grief, embarassment, humiliation, regret, anxst, you name it. I nevr mistrusted myself until her. Once you come to mistrust yourself, nothing seems certain anymore.

So, married people can't have friends? Interesting that you haven't heard a fraction of the story and you have it pegged. Must be nice for life to be so simple.

It's a long story, but suffice it to say I'm no longer friends with this person. I met her when her marriage was falling apart, and well, you can probably guess the rest. (She was an English professor of mine.) We tried over the last two years to make a friendship work, but when she rebuilt her marriage, we went separate directions and our relationship got wierd. I'm still scratching my head over the whole thing. Sometimes I think everything is an illusion.

Henry Adams once said “One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible.” Anyone experienced in life knows the truth of this statement: a true friend is one of life’s rarest commodities. [...]Life is a road traveled by many--long and twisting are its pathways. Destinations are rarely clear, and souls wander aimlessly along byways littered with odious obstacles. Lucky are those who have found a catalyst--a friend to intensify joy and straighten paths, for they will never again feel lost or disconsolate. Their roads traverse fields flowing with clover, and angels’ laughter gurgles like brooks running through a wasteland.
This is part of an essay I wrote about the best friend I ever had. Have any of you ever thought something similar?

It's good that you have a handle on your depression, BillyGoat. I never thought of it in that way. I've been suicidal in my life--not something I've ever talked about much--and I always thought that a gun would be too messy. I would think of the image of what I'd be leaving behind, and I couldn't do that to anyone. It's odd how, when in that state, I tried to put a positive spin on suicide in my own mind. But, thinking of a shotgun wound to the head always brought home how serious it was and is a big reason I never did. But that's a story for another day. . .

That article is offensive. The sole puprose of firearms is for hunting? I think not. I have guns because I like guns. I shoot them because I find it pleasurable. Shooting clay pigeons is an excellent family event. I also hunt, gasp, because I want to. I study parts of science and math with firearms--noisy things make great experiments and teachers.
Having antique firearms is a direct connection with history. This is a non-issue. As I said, I've had guns my entire life. My dad was an elder, and he gave me my first gun. NO ONE EVER made an issue of it. There are always folks who take it upon themselves to tell everyone what they need to do, however.
