Loosing DS friends--

I know people come and go on here. The loss stinks but what do ya do when you feel like you have lost a friend who is still on your friends list. Right now, I feel like I have lost a couple of really good friends. Maybe it is just me, but it is weird.

i agree. sometimes it hurts bad.

sometimes people just need their time and space, i've learned.

like ... it's more about them than it is about you.

I know the feeling--I have lost a few and they are still on my friends list, too.

I sure would like to know what the heck I did to upset them!!!

I am not taking it personally. It just feels weird because I wonder if I have done anything to upset them especially when they are interacting with others like they used to do with you.

You're probably right---I shouldn't take it personally either, I guess.

Still, it makes one wonder!!!

People do come and go. This is real life.. we're all REAL as hell. But, the material world as it is... there will be those who get swept up and away.

Yeah,I know what you mean...I was looking at my friends list the other day.Some people I've only heard from on the first contact.But I hesitate to delete anyone.I did that once,and heard back from the person.She had never message or hugged,nor ,had I ever seen any posts from her.It turned out ,she is a total recluse ,and reading our posts and repies are her only outlet in life.So,I keep everybody there anyway.
I wonder how many people out there in our cyber family are like that?We ,are there only outside contact with the world?

    Would I fall under the Insomnia topic? I can't sleep because of the RLS. As soon as I lay down it acts up. I've been getting about 3 hours of sleep per day for the past month.

Found out thats the cause so I...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
