Saying nothing, not doing much is abit difficult

[Crankin]

In some way, I agree with you, Pam, but I am finding it more and more difficult to be friends with people who don't live the same lifestyle I do. It might not sound nice, but it's true. I think for Shooting Star, it's just an observation of her friend's habits. At this point, I am down to just going out to eat or have coffee with 2 of my "regular" friends, whom I have known for 20+ years. One is overweight, has been since I've known her. She has every excuse in the world (I don't like to sweat) and it gets on my nerves. The other used to be fairly athletic, but has had a couple of injuries (she does things like tennis, which I suck at) and is just generally acting older and older, even though she is my age. They used to go out for a walk with me, but now, won't even do that. So much of my own life revolves around cycling or other outdoor activity, I am also limited in what I can talk to them about; our grown up kids, politics, gossip about others. It's sad, but true.
