Friends 55

They know

what you like
what you don't
what makes you laugh
what really cheeses you off
how you think
when you're sad
who your dream date is
when to push you
when to lay off
when to buy you a drink
when to just shut up and listen

and

how 
to 
make 
you 
smile.

Well written Devo....

I'm glad you finally remembered!
:P

Thanks for visiting, and adding such a touch of class to the group.

Have a Great Week-End.....G

Mona,

One would hope that parents would fit the bill on most of these items. In my own case, one parent is a lot better described by this 55 than the other ...

G-Man,

I'd say it's a pretty classy group regardless of my attendance, but thanks!

I do believe you've nailed it squarely Devotee. Friends -- real ones that is -- know you inside and out...

And like you anyway.

Mojo,

You're right about that.

In fact, sometimes they like you more than you like yourself. One of the things I like to remind myself of, when I'm in a crummy mood about myself, is that I have friends for a reason. There's something there that they see, and I need to trust them on it.
