OMG....I have a friend just like M. I laugh just like you, but honestly...sometimes I just want to crawl in a hole. She too is a very good person..generous. Do you think it's US Betty? Maybe we just don't have the tolerance we had when we were younger. My friend seems to have lost her guidelines as to what's appropriate to say to someone...sometimes I pretend I don't know her. She too gets outrageous notions in her head and can't be swayed. We've been friends for 37 years....through thick and thin...she's gotten a little crazy on me...but damn, maybe she feels the same way about me. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this great post Betty...again, Happy B-day funny lady.Joy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-51416327845668862612007-03-24T13:39:00.000-05:002007-03-24T13:39:00.000-05:00Hi again Betty!Drop by my place if you want to see...Hi again Betty!<BR/><BR/>Drop by my place if you want to see the boy who shares your birthday!<BR/><BR/><BR/>J.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090159134556212125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-84997543909588605742007-03-24T10:21:00.000-05:002007-03-24T10:21:00.000-05:00happy birthday, betty! *hugs*happy birthday, betty! *hugs*savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-4215788255751726862007-03-24T09:26:00.000-05:002007-03-24T09:26:00.000-05:00happy birthday Betty hope you have a lovely day xx...happy birthday Betty hope you have a lovely day xxkatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771905454120068595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-52867497075279226932007-03-24T07:56:00.000-05:002007-03-24T07:56:00.000-05:00I know this woman.

But I will be with her again, and it will have been me that organized our meeting and time together. Sometimes I ask myself why I get together with her when I know I'll have a headache afterwards. And my answer - she's got a good heart, she cares about me and many things I care about, she entertains me and shakes me out of my routine. And, yes, she reminds me that I too have irritating qualities that someone loves, puts up with, appreciates. <BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday, Betty, and many many more.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273873865160002759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-70604034380121988272007-03-24T07:14:00.000-05:002007-03-24T07:14:00.000-05:00Now that I came back to read your post...I think w...Now that I came back to read your post...I think we could probably all safely say we know someone with similar character to that of your friend there. The main thing, as does ring true in your post, is that we laugh with and at the person, because we accept that each person is different, and it is the different things that make life interesting :)Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-382496656553609622007-03-24T07:01:00.000-05:002007-03-24T07:01:00.000-05:00Happee Birthday lovely laydee, hope your wishes co...Happee Birthday lovely laydee, hope your wishes come true, you have done an awesome job as a mum, and you deserve to have a great time.Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-45941564407199645192007-03-24T06:47:00.000-05:002007-03-24T06:47:00.000-05:00Hey, other self, I know this woman.
