Announcements of Friendship Bids

[bayoubill]

It occurred to me that there should be a place

where I can announce when I'm sending out a friendship bid

to another forumite.


So I made this thread for that purpose.


All y'all can use it for that, too.

[bayoubill]

can we ever appreciate our friends enough
sometimes you wonder are friends fleeting
remember when days are rough
recall when times were tough
who would you be meeting
who would you be greeting
who would see you through
who would take a stand
lend a helping hand
make you feel just grand
make you feel brand new
tell you just what to do
tell you just what's true
guess its me and you

[blazer]

Can you ever have too many friends?

[Mustang JEB]

I actually hold the friendship list as a personal thing..

Ah well, I'm weird I guess.

[blazer]

Yes, i don't have a gazillion friends on my list.

[birdonawire]

The people I have on my friends list are people I actually like.

There are some I dont have on my friends list that I do like but I'm not pushy so I wait for them to ask me instead of sending a request myself.

BECAUSE I HATE REJECTION! :cry:

I mean what if I sent a request and they said NO they didn't like me after all???? :cry:

Dear soup,

And I thought you wanted me for who I am, not on your shopping list :snooty: Dam you are going have to send me more nudie photos for this

[bayoubill]

Sorry, soup, dear heart...


I did relialize, after having put up eight friendship bids,

that it did start to look like a laundry list,

so I stopped at eight.


Believe me...

when I looked at my list of friends

no one coulda been more surprised than me

to find that you weren't already on the list...


In your case, I was just trying to make amends for a shortfall.


You shoulda been on the list since long ago, sweetheart. :hug:


BTW, do you still require nudie pix?

Unfortunately, I have none to share...

but, if you happen to have any such pix of Robert Downey, Jr.,

those could probably stand in for me...


if you did an age progression... (lol...)

[VA-165 Boomer]

Dear Boomer,

Will you be my friend?

Sincerely yours,

BillSure Bill! But as many already know I don't play the friendship game that has been created in this forum. I would like to be a friend to all. But I don't have any listed and as a matter of policy will not start now. Friendship has to grow over time.

[blazer]

I have 7 pages of friends it took forever to wish them all Happy Easter!

[birdonawire]

In truth these friendship things don't really do much unless people post photos or stuff in their albums. lol

Sorry I will never post pictures here or any where I did that once and the end result was a stalking. :mad:

[blazer]

i don't like my pictures so I rarely post them.

[Dreamy]

Sorry I will never post pictures here or any where I did that once and the end result was a stalking. :mad:

I totally understand Bird. There are many pictures one can post that are not of the person.

I am simply stating the friendship thingy is rather odd to me in some ways the more I think about it. lol

[blazer]

I know i requested to be Boomers friend but he doesn't do that.

[Dreamy]

I know i requested to be Boomers friend but he doesn't do that.

Yes I have known Boomer for awhile Blazer. I am quite aware.

I understand.

Maybe I will post some pictures of my cats or the dog! :mrgreen:

I did post a picture of my hair on here once. :mrgreen:

Do you have any pets Dreamy?

Yes 2 cats. We had to put our Dog down a few years ago.

I have posted their photos before.

aww!

[bayoubill]

Believe me, I understand completely, Jeb...


I was skeptical of the whole thing when the Mods first put it up,

thinking it was just another lamo ******** idea...

sorta like the arbitrary and poorly-named classifications for post count totals

and the four political social groups.


But then one of my dearest Hansterland buddies convinced me that it was harmless fun

and that it was a nice way to acknowledge the connections you've made with people you like in Hansterland.

[bayoubill]

Yes, i don't have a gazillion friends on my list.


I have many,

but I'd be just as happy with only a handfull.

[bayoubill]

The people I have on my friends list are people I actually like.


Most everybody on my list is someone that I actually like,

for one reason or another.


But I gotta admit...

there's a coupla folks on my list that, if I had it to do over again,

I'd pass.


But until those certain folks give me a really really good reason to delete them,

they will remain on my list.


There are some I dont have on my friends list that I do like but I'm not pushy so I wait for them to ask me instead of sending a request myself.

BECAUSE I HATE REJECTION! :cry:

I mean what if I sent a request and they said NO they didn't like me after all???? :cry:


Sometimes you've just gotta take the initiative, birdie!


And, besides...

I can't imagine that anybody would reject you, sweetheart...


but, if they did, you just let me know...

I'll take care of them. :twisted:

[bayoubill]

yay:dance:


aw...


(sigh...)


wasn't that exchange between birdie and free just the sweetest thing?! :hug:

[bayoubill]

Sure Bill! But as many already know I don't play the friendship game that has been created in this forum. I would like to be a friend to all. But I don't have any listed and as a matter of policy will not start now. Friendship has to grow over time.


No problem, Boo...


You and I, we know where we stand with each other, ol' buddy...


we don't need a piece of paper to make it official. :mrgreen:

[super cool ski instructor]

Are we friends Bill?

[VA-165 Boomer]

And I'm sure they all feel the same way!

[rosiegirl]

Yes 2 cats. We had to put our Dog down a few years ago.

I have posted their photos before.

OMG! I love these dogs. They are beautiful!!

[Dreamy]

OMG! I love these dogs. They are beautiful!!


Thank you Rosie. He was the best dog. I know people always say that about their dogs but the personality of Shelties is amazing. I have never seen a dog as loyal and fierceless and who really would have fought to the death to protect his sheep(us)if need be.

His only draw back. That glorious fur! Ugh. Messy messy and lots of grooming but for his companionship it was worth it. I miss him so much!

[Dreamy]

And I'm sure they all feel the same way!

I hope so or I am kicking their behinds off my list. :twisted:

:)) Seriously,it really does not matter as you have proven Boomer. You are not on my list by your own choice but you are still a very special friend. Its just a list. No big deal. The list could be deleted tomorrow and yet the friendships would remain.

[free2B]

OMG! I love these dogs. They are beautiful!!

hey :redface:girl wanna be my friend?????????????????????????????????????????

[WJStafford]

There are quite a few people on here that I would like to be friends with. But I am unsure if I should ask since I haven't been here that long and don't post that much.

Do you know the people you have on your list now? Did they invite you or you them?

Just send the ones you would like to be friends with WJ. No big deal really.

And welcome to Hannity if I did not say so before. :)

[super cool ski instructor]

Yeah...I'm not one to see the real importance of a Friend's List.
I don't need a status symbol to prove how awesome I am :snooty:

I know! Mine is hidden using the privacy thing too. I wonder who thought it up in the first place.

On another forum they have a thing where you can see how many times someone looks at your profile. :)) Funniest thing. I mean should I worry if someone has looked at mine 786 times in a week?:shifty:

Joe? I like. Good solid name. And you seem rather weird. I like! :twisted:

Hillbilly and I have a passing acquaintance recently. Chuck Norris may be scared but I rarely scare. :twisted: Bitchy is a great motivator to weed out the weak at heart types from lurking too long.

Very cool! Great states.


Massachusetts born and still and as you would guess yes I am a moderate conservative.:razz: Or as I like to call myself a moderate with a twist. Socially much less conservative.

I like Mass. We almost moved our plant up there several years ago. I am actually up in the northeast quite regularly. Matter of fact, I am headed to NY in a couple of weeks.

It's a little different than it is in the south, to say the least...

[bayoubill]

There are quite a few people on here that I would like to be friends with. But I am unsure if I should ask since I haven't been here that long and don't post that much.


Hey, Joe!


it's been a while...


where ya been keepin' yerself, ol' buddy?

[WJStafford]

Hey, Joe!


it's been a while...


where ya been keepin' yerself, ol' buddy?

Extremely busy @ the plant plus I am trying to start another venture.

I posted in your apolitical thread last night, I was thirsty but no one was home...

Things have settled down for the most part and now I am back!

Hopefully I will be around here a little more from now on.

[bayoubill]

I actually hold the friendship list as a personal thing..

Ah well, I'm weird I guess.


naw... you've got it right, Jeb...


I originally thought that the OP of this thread was a great idea...


but I've now had second thoughts about making a public display out of friendship bids...


and I realize now that such a thing would be better done quietly between two people.

Excellent. NY is a great state. We are much different from the south but 3 of our seasons here are best around. Winter not so much. Tennessee is beautiful. Chuck a TP regular is from there.

Different strokes for different folks Bill.

[WJStafford]

why?

I have always looked at things differently than most people, I guess it comes from 10 years of school. I have an extremely weird sense of humor that most people don't get. I also tend to over analyze EVERYTHING to the nth degree.

When I find a friend, that understands me...well...it's a blessing.

Friends are a valuable thing...

[WJStafford]

Chuck lives about 1 1/2 hours from me. There is a wonderful storytellers festival where he lives.

I understand "different" and I understand "weird" ... I was wondering why you prefer one over the other.

my son is a bit like you have described ... he's quite the charmer, but he has a very different sense of humor; a very dry wit ... most people don't "get" his humor. he loves it when someone does.
