If You're A Crappy Friend & You Know It, Clap Your Hands...
STRESS SUCKS!!!!!!!
I know I posted this picture once before... way back when...but it applies here too dammit.
Work and family stress has been eating me alive for the last two weeks. I've been rubbing my ears and chanting "woo saaaahhhh" like a mad woman but alas...stress has not only caused me to get a gray hair...(the horror!) but it has made me a bad friend too. I've been so consumed with my own problems that I haven't kept up with everyone elses. For that, I'm terribly sorry. Let's just run through the list shall we?
1. Forgot one friend's birthday
2. Forgot another friend's baby shower.
3. Came down with a migraine and forgot to call friend who was having a boy crisis. (Unforgivable)
4. Have been out of the loop so long, I just discovered another friend is undergoing surgery for cervical cancer tomorrow morning.
Please...someone just put me out of my misery...I can't rub my ears anymore...I'm afraid they may catch on fire.

i'm sorry
it msy suck but sometimes you have to think about yourself!
We all fall down from time to time...
Best thing is to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and head off again.
A true friend will understand.
oh! Bad Bad girl! Time for spankings. Just think! Real life and normal things made you forget things. It happens to us all, so don't beat yourself up about it. Be positive and be honest. The people important to you will understand.
Rock on!
Clap Clap!
I actually forgot a friend's birthday recently also. And it's so dramatic when you realize you forgot. Actually Saturday, I was sitting in the living room talking on the phone when all of a sudden I was like, "SHIT! Shit, shit, shit! I'm the dumbest person that ever lived. I gotta call you back." Nobody likes to be forced to be dramatic and call yourself dumb! At least you feel bad about it. That's an indication that you're a good friend :)
thats a cool pic of ur's...:)
na I dun think ur a crappy friend...just that u got caught up with few of ur own chores that u didnt have time for these ppl...it happens...we r only human :) So chill...atleast u realised u have been out of touch with them...some ppl dun even consider that an issue to look at...:):)
Cheers!

Take care of yourself. Life is very cyclical. You will find that after awhile things won't be so bad, you won't be so stressed, and you will have more time for yourself and your friends. Don't beat yourself up because you can't be Wonderwoman every second of every day.
If your friends are really your friends, they will still be your friends tomorrow. Even if you forget a birthday or forget to call them. You'll get through this.
i'll put you out of your misery if you put me out of mine
Dr. Crag suggests take two sticks and rubbing them together instead. You're bound to get fire that way.
The second part of the prescription is take three or four of those mugs of beer. What is that, a pint an a half in one glass? Better yet, gather all forgotten friends together, and have two or three of those beers each (minus the pregnant one for obvious reasons).
I always forget my friends birthday. hopefully, one day they will forget mine too.
Hey Linny,
I’m so sorry that you're stressed out.
My advice? Just apologize, and I'm sure every thing will be forgiven and you'll be happy and your friends will be happy, and viola! No more stress. :)
Did I just say "viola!"??
I did, didn’t I.
Good Lord...
Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving!:)
Hope you have a great holiday!! :)

Oh dear Linny. Because you feel badly about missing out on your friends' lives, means your a great friend. Everybody has stressful times.
And your friends understand that. Hope your holiday gives you some rest!
Then again, why weren't those friends checking on how you were doing? You're not a bad friend, you're normal. First and foremost we are responsible for our own lives and then for helping out others if we've got our sh*t together. If it will help you feel better, of course you can use my 'bed buddy'.
real friends understand that "shit" happens and that sometimes there isnt enough time in the day for all the things and people you have to deal with. The thing that matters is that you know now and what you do with it ;)
Linny, don't be so hard on yourself! Nobody can be there 100% for others, if they are having problems of their own. Hope things get easier soon.
The fact that you remembered means you are not a crappy friend. The fact that you are truly sorry speaks more about your character. Don't be so hard on yourself.
busy + stressed does not = crappy friend. it just = busy + stressed and friends are friends because they understand when you go through crap like this. in fact, they should be forcing you to go drink more of those enormous steins of beer, methinks :-)
AHHH....that doesnt make you a crappy friend you know Linny. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in our own lives and existance, that we have a tendancy to neglect those we feel are important.
This doesnt make you a bad friend. If things are not going well, or even unstressful, then it's okay to put yourself first sometimes you know.
They're your friends, they'll understand. And if you are feeling guilty about it, you can reprioritize, and dedicate a certain amount of time for your friends per week.
Remember that their hapiness in life isnt your responsibility. I know sharing in good times with people is a lot of fun, but i'm positive they'll understand. *And as for your friend undergoing surgery. At least you remembered. You have ever opportunity to go visit her, and be there for her post surgery....*
Happy Thanksgiving Linny. :-)
Happens to everybody.
Don't let it get to you.
Stress is not good for you. Get a pedicure, it always makes me feel better.
Linny, could you please email me? I need to talk to you about something, it's important
That's a great story. Waiting for more.
