so........

it seems vanda has given up on the other bookshelf and stated that we, over here, on the other side of the world, are still going strong. big surprise????? although it gets quiet on occasion, middle aged old broards don't stop talking. we don't shut up. we talk long after we shouldn't be. and i was thinking about this, a few moments before i read his post...i have had a longer relationship with you lovely ladies than i have with girlfriends in my real life. that might sound sad, but truly is not. i can talk to you when ever i want. you check in when you can. give some encouragement, advice, love and friendship. you don't expect anything from me. i don't have to show up for a lunch date. if i act like a bitch, you forget about it in a few days. if i went missing for a while, you would worry. not that you could do much about it, but someone somewhere would care. and even though you wouldn't know where i live to have the police check if there was a rotting corpse, you still might care a little. and that would be okay. people come and go, but a few remain, and i think that is wonderful. and so to all of the old broards, and we wear the title with pride... love you and thanks.
