Looking back it seems a bit comical, but at the time is was very stressful.<br />I have two tried and true friends and I cherish them both.<br />I totally agree with Doreen, you are wise for your young age.<br />Jemma Jemma@athomewithjemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137225389791605398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-21667166650439654052016-06-12T23:04:16.958-04:002016-06-12T23:04:16.958-04:00For many people, friends are simply a convenience,...For many people, friends are simply a convenience, so not really a 'friend' at all. I think for many, as we get older, this concept of not allowing toxic people in our lives becomes crystal clear, and easier to implement.

I do have one, whom I love, and get along with very well, in person, however, she drains me when talking on the telephone. My rudeness just constitutes not answering the phone!
