Re: Having no friends

The black helicopters hovering over the house recorded Chris & Ranae Procyk

>Funny, I had almost the same reaction.  Actually, we have friends, they just become scarce when it's time to work on the truck!

Yeah... I was kidding of course... at least I *think* I have friends.
<grin>  It's just that not a single one of my close friends are into
mechanical things like me.  They sort of think my hobbies are boring and
weird.  They can't imagine how I could enjoy spending all weekend
rebuilding an electro-mechanical cruise control module.  I'm an outcast in
my closest circle of friends.  

This is why I'm a member of this IHCholic support group.

My 11 year old daughter is just now getting to the point where she can pump
the brake pedal... there is a God!

Good suggestion.  Great FAQ ideas might come out of that (within reason).
