It sounds like some of the good friends are doing their best to not get emotionally involved. Some people do seem so weird - to want to talk trivialities while we fight to stay alive. It seems we all have friends, or those we thought were our friends, but when it comes down to fight time, they run like hell so they get no bruises. I'm just glad I have a daughter, Lori, and BarbT on my side. I sure needed them to help me win this one and we did it again I hope. I hate to hear about some minor obstacle from people, but do think it makes us better people for listening.
