[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 307325, member: 13221"] I do think about it. Luckily the caller ID tells me all I need to know about whether I should answer or not LOL The truth is, I do it cause of my mother. I wasn’t there for her at the end the way I should’ve been and I don’t say that with any guilt anymore. I just mean that when I know people are down now it makes me think of her and what I couldn’t do for her. I knew she was unhappy but I didn’t realize the extent of it. So I guess helping people now when I can makes me feel better about her a little. I hope that wasn’t too deep and sad and hopefully it made some sense. I can be guilty of the same thing. But like I said my experience has made me a much better listener. I think we jump in just to help sometimes. But you’re right, all they might need is a sympathetic ear. Thank you Lashes! Oh crud I don’t want this to get sad again cause I’m afraid sometimes I bring others down with this stuff but I also try to be a good friend because of what happened to me two years ago when I had my emergency surgery. I’ll just never forget how sick I was and the loneliness of that time and how stressed I was. Believe it or not this idiot imbecile moron schmuck was going to go get his surgery and not tell anyone, not a soul until after it was over. But at the last minute I broke down and told everyone; my family, friends, coworkers, and I’ll just never forget what they all did for me. I remember one person in my family showing up at my doorstep the morning of the surgery to take me to the hospital, my best friend at work texting me she loved me right before I went in, all the calls I received after the surgery from everyone, the people stopping by to see me, you just don’t forget those things. So I think that’s part of the reason I try to lend an ear to all of them now. I can’t forget those things [/QUOTE]
