> Why can't Dr. Bob be our real friends? What does Dr. Bob have to cover his butt from? Doesn't Dr. Bob trust that I won't take advantage of him?
Dr. Bob lives in a different world. He does not have time to be friends with everybody.
What does being 'friends' mean to you?
That you would email, chat? He doesn't have time for that.
You know Bob with his 'rules'. He has his rules and they are for all. What about me? Should he exempt me from a form? (if I even HAD facebook, which I don't).
If I wanted him to be a facebook person then I would just fill out the form, no big deal. Do you trust HIM enuf to fill out the form?
He covers his butt cuz thats what people like him do. Its a normal part of their life. Even I have liability insurance on our farm, in case someone gets hurt. Its just the way the world works.
Bob is in a diff world Deneb, don't let the idea of him hurt you.
I think he honestly has a soft spot for you Deneb, but thats it.
Find people IRL to be friends with. When you get right down to it, Bob isn't IRL is he?
Not really.
But he is the same as he always was. Nothing has changed. You can love to love him in your special Deneb way, but thats all it can be.
Its just the way life is.
Your lovely Deneb and have grown SO MUCH!!! in the time I have known you. I think you'll do fine.
Take care,
M
