Just Thinking:
I have been thinking about "deleted friends". I have been thinking about betrayals, back stabbing, pot stirring etc. It seems there are a lot of this going on lately here on DS for some reason.
I have written messages to so called "friends" and never get a reply. When these "friends" have had surgeries, hardships in their families, sickness, i have been there for them. To my knowledge, I have never stabbed anyone in the back, never betrayed anyone, never talked bad about anyone behind their back.
I don't get involved with fights and squabbles between different ones here. As a Biker, I got into physical fights as well as verbal fights. Both of which I hurt people.
I will not do that now. I stay out of the fray because if I am not careful, I end up getting hurt in the process because I choose not to fight back or take sides.
Now, if this was something done to me or said about me personally, I will respond with whatever necessary to defend my honor.
Contrary to some peoples feelings about me, I am a good man. I continually strive to encourage the down trodden, those who have sadness in their lives, be a friend to those who feel they have no friends and yes, I pray for peoples loved ones who are having issues in their lives. I do this because of the hurt and the terrible past I came out of as a Biker.
I don't care if you live in a mansion of a hill or a shack by the tracks. I don't care if you drive a Lamborghini or a Yugo, it makes no difference to me, I will still be your friend in time of need.
If I do not meet your qualifications of a "friend", then first of all, I apologize for failing you somewhere along the way. Secondly, you can delete me with no hard feelings from me. I am just human and even as scarred as I am physically and emotionally, due to my past, I have tried to be a blessing to others ever since I joined here.

Glad you haven\'t deleted me... and I consider you a definite blessing!
I typed you a very encouraging email and it just vanished, bless you OB , do what you do and all is well.
Bless you, J
Sadly there are just some people in the world who don\'t know how to appreciate the good in people or the kindness extended by people.
I haven\'t had anything but kindness and encouragement from you in the few times we have made contact.
I am sorry to hear you have been on the receiving end of mean and unnecessary attacks. Blessings to you OB.
Some people do not understand me. I went through hell as a biker. I have been stabbed, beat up, kicked till I was bloody, I was purposely hit by a car and knocked into the street. I have had death threats on my life, I have been shot at by the police and, I had a loaded gun pointed at me and the trigger pulled, had the safety been off, I probably wouldn\'t be alive today. Some of these things happened to be by the one that I thought, loved me.
Now, when people say bad things to me and rant on me, I choose to withdraw rather than get mad and confront them because, I know what I used to be and what I am capable of. Thanks for your kind comments concerning me.
PeeWee, I might not talk to you that often but you know that I\'m here when you need a friend, just like you are there for me when I need someone. Don\'t let others dictate what you do. I told my friends that I wasn\'t going to be on as much over the summer and some have just totally ignored me. DS is changing from what it was way back when we joined.
You know how I feel and you know exactly how I feel too.
Peace and love,
LMT
I always appreciate a friend that checks up on me, and you are a very special person, and I am honored to be your friend. :)
