Friends>

 Many people will walk in and out of your life.

>

> But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

Oh, I don't know, some butt heads have left footprints in my heart, big muddy gravelly dog doo ones... 

>

> To handle yourself, use your head;

My head doesn't have any handles.  Those are usually found on either side of the torso above the pelvis. 

>

> To handle others, use your heart.

Ugh! Pretty messy.  Just let others handle themselves for the most part, then decide if you want to be a part of the behavior you see, eh?

>

> Anger is only one letter short of danger.

Lice is only two letters short of Police!  Love is only one letter short of Glove... Boxing glove!  So watch out!

Hey, we could have fun with this... Friend is only one letter more than Fiend... Beware!, etc.

So are ugly young people.  Ugly old people may have had some input themselves...

>

> Learn from the mistakes of others.

>

> You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Plus the mistakes of others can be fun to watch. (And the -"boy, I'm glad I'm not you" feelings are such a relief.)

>

> Friends, you and me ....

>

> You brought another friend ...

> We started our group ....

> Our circle of friends ....

Then you invited some butthead in...

Now we're in an MLM pyramid and I have all this soap...

You too? - Don't we just feel like dopes!....

A "friend" for hoodwink profit took everything we had...

We're "all like one big family" - a dysfunctional one, that's sad...

So beware the buttheads, practice saying: "no sir" or "no ma'am"...

If its "a remarkable business opportunity" or "for the children" you'll know that its a scam...

> Show your friends how much you care ....

Use deodorant, brush your teeth and just be a friend.  Listen.  Listen some more, then help where you can.  Simply enjoy the company of a true friend.  For real friends one's company is all that is needed.  There may be other facets, but bedrock is "I simply enjoy being with you".  So don't work up any unearned guilt about sending this to anyone else. 

I like this anonymous poem and so will share it with you:

I went out to find a friend and none were to be found.

I went out to be a friend and friends were all around! 

Have a great week and fun with words that are one or two letters off from words that mean completely different or bizarre things!

Your fiend,

Tom Preble
