IT’S NOT OK
One of the people I have been reading for many years just told me she was removing me from her "friends only" entries. I have been reading her for years so can’t really understand it. I know that I haven’t been keeping up etc. but what’s the difference if I read her entries. I don’t care if she reads mine or not. I don’t think about who notes me or reads me but I do feel close to many. I read and write as time allows. I will miss reading about her days and her opinions. Is it that important if I read you entries? Don’t you write for yourself? ENOUGH!
I have been busy! I have been visiting my dying friend everyday. I still have my cold or at least it feels like a cold. My throat isn’t sore but my nose is running more than usual and I am coughing a little.
Yesterday my DIL picked me up for lunch. She eats half of nothing so we just went to Wendy’s. Then we went to an art supply store. We shopped with the understanding I was paying. Well we got to the cash and I couldn’t remember the pin number. I was so embarrassed. She had to pay. Maybe we would have shopped more but I felt so bad that I just told her to drop me off at the hospital. I went to the ATM to take out money to pay her back.
I stayed at the hospital till about 6:30. My son came to pick me up. He came up to visit my friend who he knew all his life. He was good friends with her son. We went out to Pizza Hut and spent a couple of hours eating and talking.
All in all a good day.
This morning I am staying home to relax. Then I will go to the hospital. I am not sure if my son will give me his car or not. If he doesn’t I’ll just take a taxi. I’ll stay at the hospital most of the afternoon and will then go out for supper with friends. So that’s about it.
So sorry to read about your dying friend. It must be stressful on you to visit every day. What a good friend you are. Take care.

I’d venture to say this has happened to all of us at one time or another. Best to just trudge on and now worry over something as trivial as that. I hope your friend recovers soon. Be well.

I’m so sorry you’re going through such a hard time, and being removed from a friend list is hurtful. *hugs*

I think it is very hard to be “friends” with people without staying in touch with them. I have deleted people who never bother to read me, figuring “if I’m not important enough for this person to stop by and read occasionally, why keep them on my list?” But if I really enjoy reading a person, I’ll keep them on my list even if they don’t come by my diary that often. Anyhow…. don’t worry about it; it really doesn’t matter. You have plenty of other friends here. It not just not worth it, worrying about what one person thinks or does. hugs, Nicky

Dont worry about the OD person, just let let it go. Dont let this person have any power to hurt you. They obviously aren’t worth it. You are SO kind to spend time with your friend, THAT is friendship!! And your line, “she eats half of nothing”? HAHAHAHA!!! Poor you about the pin. We all have days like that. Still, I’d have been embarrassed too.

Don’t feel bad about forgetting your pin number – seems everything anymore has a number or password attached to it – and I’ve gotten them all messed up more than once!

I have never forgotten my pin number yet but it is one I easily can remember, if I ever had to change it though I would be in trouble! I try and read and note if I can. I think it is silly for your OD friend to keep score. I guess she doesn’t have anything better to do.

Well I know I wonder if someone hasn’t noted me in a super long time what is up, and I do remove people. RYN I got the fabric at Joannes. They had a TON of Chanukah fabric. And the one skirt that I made that actually was a success I just made. The one I tried with a pattern I did horribly on. I mean, it was really awful!

So many people read and don’t note and that’s ok. I thought people on OD were kind of over being note whores.

Sorry to hear about your friend. ** gentle hugs ** People are funny about their diaries. I’ll never understand why people do some things. I usually figure it’s their issue, not mine.

I once managed to forget my pin number so thoroughly that I had to go to the bank and get them to give me a whole new one! Now THAT was embarrassing! And I wasn’t even 30 yet… it happens to everyone occasionally. (huggles)
