[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 478241, member: 1550"] I do work and I like the people there, but nobody seems to want to extend a friendship. I volunteered at the humane society, which was mostly kids, and my knees went bad. I don't really have a lot of time to volunteer. I work screwy hours at the daycare. usually I'm on the bus so I work from 6:30am-9:30am then 2-5. Honestly, most of the places I've offered to volunteer at haven't been that receptive and aren't very friendly. I have a lot of acquaintances but for various reasons never develop into friends. I think the fact that we don't drink is a big reason. They do get together to drink. Hub is also not very social. I was thinking of trying a bowling league, but I'm not sure I can, with my work hours. Even so, that doesn't replace close, loving family. I have made a few friends that I considered family. One has drifted away since I moved out of Illinois. One died of breast cancer at fifty. I miss her very much. I got very short with Jumper for asking to go to J's family for Thanksgiving, when there are only four of us and they weren't very nice to her in the past. But realistically I can't keep her here for more than a few years. Sometimes I feel like it would be better if I wasn't here, being a pain in the neck. [/QUOTE]
