Jealousy isn't limited by what station in life it occurs... it just flips it's ugly little head up whenever it's not being paid attention to.
It pays no mind to friendships or relationships, but instead sneaks into people who are in the throws of personal issues. Ofter stress will weaken one's resolve to not be a jealous person. Before you know it, the confusion & upset have mingled together and in walks jealousy, all puffed up for a party.

It's not like rabies, you can't inoculate for it.
You either keep it in check or you don't.

Not about achievements or possessions but I would be jealous if my friends started to hang out with other people.

It has always seemed to me that if you trust someone enough to love them, then you must also love them enough to trust them. This applies to love, friendship and everything in between.

Like Pretzman stated so eloquently, there is no room in my life for jealousy and I find it a sad commentary on the human condition that we even have the need for the word jealousy in our language.

I don't know who he was.dunno

He stopped his mint 65 Mustang next to me at a stop sign.wow
I always wanted one.blues
I never had one.crying
I was jealous.uh oh

Today in a Mall I saw a man walking arm in arm with Heaven.dancing
She was a mature woman. kiss
I wanted her.thumbs up
I was jealous.laugh

Last year I paid $16,000.00 in IRS Tax.
My neighbor paid none and got money back.dunno
I was jealous.mumbling

I fall short in many things and short of perfection as far as human nature goes.

Perhaps;
1.) The man driving the Mustang ? Maybe a wheel came loose and he died on an interstate somewhere.
2.) The heavenly woman,might havebeen a guy in drag.
3.) The IRS still got my money,,rolling on the floor laughing doh

Life's lesson,be careful what you wish for. peace

Real friendship doesn't hold any jealousy noooooo...friends only want whats best for each other and are happy for each other when they get it...not full of jealousy because it's something they might not have themselves.....santa waving

It's possible to experience "friendship jealousy" - except, of course, for the mass of saint-like CSers who never have and never could experience such an atavistic emotion.professor laugh

Hey why can't we be friends and be able to be jealous of some of our friends abilities, things, or whatever at the same time. I don't see that any different that the billions of thoughts that run through a relationship over the years. I think I can be an excellent friend and sometime be jealous at the same time. JMO

mylifewithu: I did the same thing in my family , only I mowed yards, raked leaves, shoveled sidewalks around the same age as you to buy my own clothing. Luckily I had a good thrift store that i could buy decent clothing and very cheap from.
Then what I out grew went to my two sisters. I did get a new coat one time from my dad. That was cool. I being the oldest, I was the only one that got one tho. It does teach you to be humble in early life to have to work to support yourself. I guess that is what it would be called.
I forgot to add I was never jealous of my friends. So my answer is NO.

Humble is a pretty good word for me actually, despite all the chaos i cause.

Left to my own devices i am a calm quiet man, with hardly any vices at all.

My life is in a state of disrepair at the moment, but hopefully next year this will change and something i will do may well make someone else very rich and help humanity in the process.

That certainly is one reason i am not trying to be a trainee alcoholic.

I am calm person too, but more I believe cause of all I have been thru, I just can't stand chaos even if it came from me. So I feel so much better to remain calm.

hug I hope those things that are in disrepair do get better for you as well. Goodluck. Alcohol cures nothing, so smart choice to leave it out.wink wine

Yeah but cider can be nice, though after 5 pints its hard to see and walk straight!

My cats decided to be mischievous, and go outside to check who's letting off fireworks.

See in this house even the cat is mischievous and cant help checking on things that might hurt him.It appears to be a family trait!

I might add that ginger managed to make my Cyrus DAC XP go faulty twice due to cat fluff getting inside it!

That is a £2500 peice of audio kit that's astonishing to use, but my cat is far more important to me bless him.

I've resorted to putting a cowboy hat on top of it to keep them off it.

After all if you look on their website you'll see its nice and flat, ideal cat sized heated platform thats the ideal height for a cat to have a heated bed and supervise me at the same time.

Another good reason for locking the downstairs door if i drink or not!

My dad was a tv repairmen when i was young , I remember when he would open backs of TV's there would be so much cat hair in some that it would cause tubes they used back then to overheat and burn out. Their was enough hair in them to build a new Cat.laugh wink

My smaller one has passed out on the sofa ( he hates fireworks) and is in a funny comedy position that would make a good pic!

I'm sure he is shy though, so i wont plaster him all over CS as their profile is mainly gingers fan club.
