I wasn't implying that you were calling me a thief. I was just saying I'm not. As for Facebook, I had you on acquaintance level for a long time and that blocked all your political posts which I had grown tired of seeing but this allowed me to continue being friends on Facebook. The reason I unfriended you is quite frankly you haven't been a friend. The critical words going back and forth between you two aren't worth it. Bickering about what should've or could've happened has nothing to do with today and moving forward. I lost all my best friends when they got married and gained most of them back when they got divorced. Things just get different as you get older. I don't go to class reunions anymore because I decided people grow apart for a good reason. The road splits and each took a different path that didn't include the other. Occasionally, the paths cross again, but you already know what decisions you made the first time. Trying to bring back yesterday never quite . I personally don't like doing this publicly at all but he called me a dick for discovering I had unfriended him on Facebook and incorrectly thought it had something to do with his political posts instead of his actions. In any event, I no longer have a phone or a way to respond elsewhere so I'm done with this and moving on.

People don't like being unfriended but I rarely friend anyone on Facebook anyway. I won't even befriend my own sister on Facebook. If she sees me post in another timeline, I'll respond once and then block her or delete it a few days later. We get along fine, I just don't want everyone knowing everyone I know. I like to escape drama. df1

I guess Tom missed the winky smiley face, which like defiant 1 said, means just kidding. As for not being a friend, what the hell are you talking about? You live in another state. I offered advice for the situation you are in, but you did not want to hear it, because my advice was sell your house and move to a more populated place so you could have a better chance of finding a job. You however did not want to "Give up" on your house, because it was something you worked very hard for.
I listened to all of the stuff you have been going through and never passed judgement and I also considered seriously letting you sell my comics on ebay which would have helped both of us.
If none of that constitutes being your friend, then I obviously have no clue what friendship is. The main reason I came back to your page, which you repeatedly asked me to do, is because I was unable to reach you and was worried.
You should think about that before you claim someone is not doing something.

The main reason I came back to your page, which you repeatedly asked me to do, is because I was unable to reach you and was worried. You should think about that before you claim someone is not doing something. I seen the smiley face but I wanted you to realize I unfriended you on Facebook not because I was sick of your political posts but because you just aren't a friend. Since you insist on playing this out let me tell you how you think a friendship should work. It seems to be fine with you if I call you each time or if I come your way each time. You don't have to do that. You live in the most southern area of Va. I live in the most northern area of NC. Its not like I live 100 miles away. Its more like 40. Doesnt matter. When I live in Norfolk and you were Va Beach a distance of 25 miles I came your way 9 times out of 10. The one time you would come over your wife would call 30 minutes after you got to my place and ask when are you coming home and repeat every 30 minutes until you left. When your mom was dying and you called me and said I need a friend I dropped everything and came out right then. When I was in crisis and told you I needed a friend you told me I could come to your house. It doesn't matter. The distance is the same for both of us. The last time you came my way was my birthday in 2004. I've come your way numerous times since. Every time we had a fallout and didn't talk a few yeara it was always me breaking the ice and coming your way. I've seen you numerous timea because I made the effort to go see you. You can't even be bothered to call. Your advice was to poo poo my situation and be done with it. Discounting the fact I made over 8 years of mortgage payments and sunk over $100,000 into it. Count how many times I came from my house to you and it adds up. Count how many times you came to my place? Zero in almost 10 years. Yeah in the end I ended up losing it. I know I did everything I could to save it. I can sleep knowing I gave it everything I had. The last time I called you was last January. You said you were busy. You never called me back. In May you texted me that you may come out in June with your wife and I made the comic pitch to you. By this time I no longer had the means to come your way. My phone worked until October. I never heard from you again. The last 2 years have been the shittiest time of my life but I learned you don't have any friends when you don't have a nickel. But you do wish friends would think about you when they know you're going through a hard time. Defiant1 was right. When you haven't been friends a long time its usually best to let it be. There is a reason you aren't friends in the first place. Ill tell you what though. I've never met him in my life but last January when I was flat broke and wondering how I was going to survive I went to my mailbox and found a money order from df1 for $300. It brought tears to my eyes because I didn't know how I was going to eat. The lord blesses you in mysterious ways. I have been unable to pay him back but he's never said a word about it. I will never forget his act of kindness. I don't need to ask you to come here anymore. And I don't need 1 way friends. I didn't want to keep doing this in public. Even though I unfriended you on Facebook, you can still send a message. I didn't block you. But if that is the best friend you can be, I don't need friends. Dont worry about me and I don't need your posts either if its such a chore to come. You took about a 10 month absence from that too. All I needed was you to say yo man, how's it going once in awhile. But I've seen keeping in touch iw all up to me. Didnt want to post this but I don't give a shit anymore. I think I'm just not going to keep up with 1 way relationships. Later
