well there are cliques but they shift b a breeze of gossip that blows by
so what?
such is life
there are levels of relationships
know on sight-a nod-maybe not their name
know better shake hands and say hi when see each other
know and pretend you dont see them
colleagues
acquaintances
friends
family
extended family
personally i cant get involved emotionally
respond to the same degree to relative strangers
as i would someone i know
but we all get annoyed and pop off at one another
now and again...and life goes on
i would like to clarify the statement made by the lioness however
'oldtimers'-
well some were here "before" and in early 05
and have since left and come back (reincarnated)
so the history of the posts may not reflect a members' time here
just a few of the people that were so welcoming to me
are still here... and some, we still only have
a passing pleasantry for each other and thats ok
i dont need everyone to like me
or pay attention to me
here, work, church, a party-wherever
i was like that -i couldnt keep it up-it almost killed me
this post is purely off the top of my head so dot get pissy tampa
but of course you may F off if you like
i find this practice helps me to be a bit more relaxed
