For Marius

Marius, I felt so bad about your whining that I pasted the poem that Jan
sent, for you to read. Of course, you won’t be able to see the pretty
pictures and the music that goes along…..Oh well, you can’t have everything.
Kim
To Fellow Diabetics/list member
Thank You for
Being My Friend
When things are confused
I discuss them with you
until they make sense
When something good happens
you are the first person I tell
so I can share my happiness
When I don’t know what to do in a situation
I ask your opinion

and weigh it heavily with mine
When I am lonely
I call you
because I never feel alone with you
When I have a problem
I ask for your help
because your wiseness helps me to solve it
When I want to have fun
I want to be with you
because we have such a great time together
When I want to talk to someone
I always talk to you
because you understand me
When I want the truth about something
I call you
because you are so honest
It is so essential
to have you in my life
Thank you for being my friend
-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz
This seemed appropriate for all of you, with a
little editing. Have a bright day.

    Thank you, Kim — I’m not bright enough to do that! 8^ D
    I’ve been rubbing my thumb & forefinger together forming the world’s tiniest
    violin, playing My Heart Cries For You.

    Hey, I’m bright enough to edit it now, though — so this edition has been
    edited to say the way I wanted:

    As they say…..The squeaky wheel gets the grease! And YOU sure squaked
    enough!!! LOL! And Kim, I think you are very *sweet* to paste the poem. Wish
    I had thought of that!

    You Purr fect poster, I’ll explain Hissy Fit:
    Cats hiss and make you really afraid (they’re probably afraid they might
    HAVE to attack) and make like a fit to scare you. Thus, a Hissy Fit. More
    show than substance. Like when a certain male list member can’t get cute
    cards.

    By the way, truckers in the USA call girls Seat Covers. Because they cover
    the seat when sitting.
