I am sorry. I honestly did mean to answer your reply. I do appreciate all the info that I get here, and do appreciate the time it takes for people such as yourself to reply.

I was going through the posts in order, and I responded to the one post, and then was going to respond to yours, but I got distracted, I have been thinking all evening about what I was going to say to you, as I was out shopping with my husband, it was payday and our cupboards where ridiculously empty, I could not even scrounge up a dinner.

sometimes I screw up, sorry.

Again, I appreciate the time you took to post, and thank you for your input. I am sorry if I neglected you, I tend to do that, I am trying to my best to get better at the back and forth of conversation. It is sort of hard to keep everything in order though when you have kids to pick up from school, then three kids momming you to death, a dog get loose, physio therapy to arrange, and a really really crappy letter from your sons teacher afirming that they still after all this time just don't understand the magnitude of their actions in regards to my sons self esteem and overall well being. I took time out to write a three page letter to the principle today too. I am sorry I forgot to let you know that I appreciated you and did not think I needed anything further from you at the present time.

This has been an interesting thread, and has given me some insite to what goes on in peoples' lives. The human is a social animal, even those who value their solitary time. We all seem to need some form of interaction and approval from others of our species.
Many of us feel as if we dwell in a borderland somewhere between acceptance and rejection, never quite attaining either completely, never quite knowing exactly what it is we need or want. Still we reach out for contact with others. Aspies seem to have a harder time knowing how to reach out successfully.

I wonder... Parents, mothers in particular tend to love their children unconditionally, should not friendship be the same way? I will be your friend, if you desire. It is a gift with no strings attached, what you do with it is up to you, not me. Put it on a shelf and never open it and it will not benefit either you or me. Open it and enjoy it despite its flaws, and there are flaws, and we both have grown.

If you offer me a similar gift, then the choice is mine. I will not be a perfect friend for i am a member of an imperfect species. "No one knows how old the human race is but all can agree, it is old enough to know better".

I've been rambling and I know it, but you know what, I will be your friend, if you want me to be.
