You do, Chris. You listen and hear the words left unspoken.

I think you are so right when you say "incapable" friends. I'm thinking of one in particular, she is a very good friend in every other way, but she just doesn't seem to have the listening gene - he he. It's like some people are just incapable of stepping into someone else's shoes to see what life is like from that different perspective..

Hi Jo, I've been wondering about people like us, who can bond so easily with "strangers" on line. Not everyone can do it. It probably sounds strange to most people, that we would refer to people we only know on line as friends. Have you ever wondered about these things?

I am truly blessed with lots of very good friends, and even some I've never actually met before! Like you Cuties! Isn't it weird to refer to each other as friends, when we have never met, or even heard each others' voices! Yet, Angel, you ARE my friend :-) by all the definitions of "friend!"
