Passover is a bit over a month away and I'm already getting the goodies (matzo ball soup, gefilte fish, horseradish, etc.) ready. If it will help Mr. Jim feel that he has friends, I'd be happy to drive up and drop off the delicacies. Of course, those who weren't raised eating this stuff usually describe it as "inedible slimy cat food with unbearable heat", so this may actually seem like a threat. It's not.

Potato pancakes are edible for us Gentiles though.
And the grape juice ain't bad either.
Unleavened bread though? Nothing wrong with crackers for a day or so, but if you've seen my post in the bread thread, there's no way sweeping the counters with feather will get rid of the odd yeast cell..............not in a hundred years.

I can honestly say that I only have two true friends. They have never come to visit me at all, as I always go visit them, so I guess a guy could say they're not as good of a friend as I make them out to be. I have lots and lots of acquaintances though that I like and get along with, but I don't 100% trust them. They'll help me out if I really need it, but only if it is not real inconvenient for them. I've been burned too many times over the years by going way the hell out of my way to help someone out, only to not have that favor returned.
I am generally an inverted loner anyway and prefer it that way. It makes life simpler.
T, I can relate.
Moving around the country for work makes it difficult to maintain friendships. Sometimes I need to go back to a place I was for various reasons, so it's been easy for me to look up a "friend" while there. Most friends from SoCal were not coming to Bummfugg NW PA just because I was there tho. I did have two friends stop by though......................they were passing through on their way to someplace more exciting I think.
For you, I mean really.......................how many folks want to visit the Rock?
Shove it dude.......but ya...........point taken. PM incoming.

Heck, If I had ever been in the area, I'd have stopped by. Never saw that part of WY. Hope I didn't offend. Awaiting PM.

My family had to be whistleblowers in a church situation a few years ago. The intel was a slam dunk but guess who paid the price? Our family and two others who were party to the whole fiasco. It turned out to be politics over the truth so we had to leave. We as well as the other families lost every friend we had there after decades of attendance. In the end God had the final say and things worked out for the MUCH better down the road. He got the glory and the dog still loves me.
oh a gotta few good friends in different states some friends very close , i just had a nasty back surgery that requires me to wear a big back brace to be wore 24 / 7 for 6 months and house bound for 6 - 8 weeks and friends call and some friends even come over. >> if i had a Hank Williams JR. party right now it would kill me but what a way to go with those young ladies !
JC, you being a huge Alpha male who chooses not to fit in a common slot may put many off. People that flock tend to seek out those w/ common lives. I would guess that you and your family are respected by your neighbors. You have plenty of friends here, small comfort but better than nothing.
You have mentioned your personal hygiene regimen...hmmmm
your friend

No potato Latkes? Damn those are good. My girlfriend's Mom used to make them for me
Having no friends kinda sucks. No friends during the covid is worse!
No trouble understanding and agreeing with what you say there. Not in the least imagining that you are in such condition - does not seem you would be there - at all. Intended in the most positive way.

I just realized I have a brother like that. About 10 years ago, I just decided to not call or visit anymore, see what happens. Been quiet ever since.
I really only have two "close" friends. Not counting the Redhead. One 6,000 miles away, the other 11,000. Talk to both every couple of months or so, which is plenty. Things don't change fast at our age.
I have a lot of friends but only 3 that would help me bury a body.
