Wasn't going to continue on with this, however I assumed that you knew kelly was a female which you didn't, same as you assume "If a man is close to a woman that is just their friend he is trying to have sex with her or he is gay." You're not even close. I have a wife and a great one at that, along with two great daughters and I also have many female friends that I'm not trying to get laid with, nor am I gay. My wife and daughters are well aware of my female friends as I have nothing to hide. Matter of fact I'm responding to your thoughts because of three things that have happened this week involing female friends. Long story short, I received a call at 4:08 a.m Monday morning from a female friend in distress, a call that ended up with my wife and myself together helping her out as much as we could which was phone calls. Another from a friend about a tenant at her place who has threatened her and she asked what she should do, in which I had offered to go over when he comes home. My wife didn't like the idea of me going over there, however she knows me. Because of that call, last night my wife had mentioned "when's the last time you talked to Nancy?". Told her I was going to call her tomorrow which is today. Well she, Nancy, called me this morning. Her call is why I'm responding to this thread now. She had called because she is in so much pain lately and doesn't know how much more she can take. She is a super strong person who has been fighting cancer for years now. Had both her breasts removed and now the cancer has spread to her bones. A while back I gave her a card and along with whatever else I wrote about staying strong etc, I also wrote "I love you". My two daughters also signed the card and read what I wrote. Not wanting to leave anything to be questioned, my wife was at the cottage or else she would have seen and signed the card also. I also gave her a small pair of boxing gloves, small enough to carry and hold, to remind her of her fight and to stay strong. Her call this morning was not like her....she is in pain and I guess she wanted to tell me something while she can. Some of the things she had said was "thank you for being such a friend" and "best word to describe you...geniune, when you die it will have to say here lays a man". The 4:08 friend, I haven't seen in 6 years and since she lives so far I don't know when I'll see her again. Never have wanted to lay her and never will. The "tenant" friend is lesbian, speaks for it self. My cancer friend, she was my boss at one time and never have I ever thought about what you and 3 seconds think about getting layed or being gay. I'm a good guy who doesn't look at people for what I can get or take from them....I'm a giver, not a taker, the only thing I don't take is any bullshit from anyone, never have and never will, and people that personally know me know who I am and what I'm all about. I wouldn't change me for anything as I'm really happy for who I am and so are the people around me. After speaking to my cancer friend this morning I had to respond to this thread. I know that as much pain as she's in, that she now feels a bit better since we spoke....why because she told me "thanks for always being there and being such a friend, you are geniune" etc. I guess the females in your lives won't be able to have any male friends or they'll be accused of the way you and 3 seconds think. I'm done, thanks.
