Oh yes @TAB
I did write that but on another thread as well as on this one
It's not just what I wrote - it's my own idea and I like it
So yes - I have already written something similar in a different conversation
It could stand some examination - qualify what a friend is - and ah - yes - I think I wrote that when we were talking about families - qualify what a family is
So often I have taken a word for granted - but families can really do a number on us - and true friends take their time - forgiving a lot
Yeah - I did write that - in my previous post and somewhere else

If we want to know what we are like - including who we are - then we need to take a look at our friends
With anyone saying a word - they will tell us exactly who we are are
Here it is @TAB
For a while I thought it might have been edited - but it's in this thread and somewhere else
I have decided to give myself a break from the chips this week - I need fresh vegetables and some good meat - last week I didn't eat much except home made vegetable soup and chips -
Maybe another time
