I hear you, Cindy and good for you. I envy you, because I don't really have any friends anymore.

My Best Friend Lissa doesn't call or drop in anymore. She lives less than a mile away and I haven't seen her in, at least, a year. We have been friends since the fourth grade. Her Kids (all grown now) call me Aunt Sally.

She E-mails stupid stuff to me and that's her extent of communication, lately. I'm pi$$ed by her actions, but what can I do?

Let's face it, I'm not much of a friend to anyone now and, I guess, no fun. I can't just jump up and go anymore and she is always on the go...never home and never returns my calls.

I have lost touch, completely with all my, what I call, fair weather friends. 'cause its not fair weather anymore in my house. . I have another friend (with MS) I've known for about 15 yrs, and we used to have such fun, when we were both still active. We talk once a month and e-mail (mostly me), but even she doesn't have time for me.

It must be my fault. Maybe I don't call often enough, but I hate to pester or be too needy. I just want to be a friend again and not someone people feel they have to call or check on.

You have the right idea, Cindy, I just don't know how to fix it.
