If you have a best friend enjoy your time with them before you lose them.

I'm now officially in training.

Seriously, thank you all for sharing experiences and input,it's been a tough week.

Eh, but if you always seen emotionally distant and unattached then you may push someone away that wants to be close to you.

For the smallest reason in the world, my best friend in the world of 8 years has walked out of my life. She and I have been through so much with doing home projects together,trail walks with the dogs,and the list goes on and on. We had a small misunderstanding last Saturday when we were going to power-wash a building for paint prepping.

The hard part is, she tells me that she needs time to get her emotions in check. The facts are, that there are no promises in this world. If she decides to never speak with me again, I'll have a part of me missing probably the rest of my life.

This isn't about the death of a friend,but hurts none the less. She has a Boxer dog named Callie that I might not see again which also kills me inside.

People, keep your friends close because no matter if it's death or a simple misunderstanding and nobody is interested in just simply having a conversation to resolve it hurts not having them around

If you mean to say that it is your birthday, happy birthday!!

My 50's were, by far, my best decade. Like OMG good. Sure, I love to complain, but now that I am in my 60's, looking back, there was zero downside to being in my 50's. Young women still talked with me, I could lift 55 pound dumbbells, ride a dirt bike, fly my plane, and do everything I wanted. Not so easy now...

On the subject of friends, 6 of my friends died, including my closest and a few others have become very distant. The loss is tough to take. I keep reminding myself to be content AND THANKFUL for the time I had with them.

Time is now short, and I won't waste it, not a second, with "troublesome" people. Fool me once, and that's it, done. You know what's cool, I've made a few quality new friends recently. I get to judge and choose.

One shot, mess it up, you're nothing to me /

It's much easier to not have friends. Less drama!

Had one once. Worked alongside them. Thousands of hours over many years doing work i didn't need to just to help out.
Dealing with not my customers because I worked ~100hr weeks while he did 40-50, so I was always there.

Then got blamed for stealing... even though a bunch of my stuff had been stolen (over 10k!) and I was constantly veiwed as a lending institution. Power or mortgage past due, it was me fronting it. Needed $5k for equipment repairs, me, etc, etc.
I had absolutely no reason to steal.

Never did figure out who did, best I can figure it was a prior employee. Talking a 14ft dump bed, a warehouse forklift, full set of snow tires for a truck, several chainsaws, some tools, a computer, bunch of hydraulic parts, etc.
