Friendship - A Preference

Hello...
To all that I do not know personally,
Please don't get me wrong, only a "true friend" willingness need apply!
Why do I say this? 
Many have experienced people that have acted like "users", instead of friends. 
I may be friendly, helpful, and generous; yet it is not to be confused with stupid, or someone to "use/ walk on". For these reasons I have cut some out of my life, and feel the need to blog this subject.
MY "CONDITIONS"
1. You MUST be sincere, reasonable, and a trustworthy person with integrity. I value my true family/ friends. No fake/ phony friends or "Frien-emies" wanted here.
2. Unnecessary negatives are not welcome either, as they hinder friendships instead of helping them grow.
Constructive criticism is best.
3. There is a motto among some friends, that I appreciate and prefer myself...
Quoting the motto "No glass, No attitudes". Need I say more? (^&^)
+=+
 From an email sent to me, here are some examples of "true friend" behaviours/ thinking. 
Thankz for this Raj!

My Add:
If only ALL "friends" were like this, our world would be so much better! Too often we forget to call, email, or communicate; to let others know we accept them, appreciate them, and love them.
= Until next time...
Take care & Safe travels!

NOTES:
~ So far everything is on FB, yet plans on relocation are in the midst! 
~ Photo albums so far are also on Photobucket, flickr, and possibly others. As we are still unfamiliar with that possibility here, we will be testing the limits for arrangements and other aspects here on our blog space for picture storage.
~ More may be added in all locations, as we are still testing/ re-organizing as we go. (^&^)

Happy Holidays!!!

Hello,
Everywhere around the globe, there is a holiday happening at any given time of the year.
To any celebrating holidays,
Happy holidays to all of you out there, and we hope you all have/ had a great one!!
   This time of year is cold, so it's always nice to stay in with loved ones. Many gather on the home front and have a party. It's a pleasant gathering of family, friends, feast, tunes, and good conversations that tend to last the night. Some of us don't last as long as we would like, yet we have all survived thus far... lol
&
Now I must be going to continue in the joyous celebrations.
Until next round...
WILD WICKED WISHES!!! (^&~)
Sincerely,
Chris S. (*@^@*)
