However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable. 7: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice. 8: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest. 9: When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing. 10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend. 11: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach ... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free. 12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts. 13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked. 14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos.

Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary. 24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion occurs about what a big mistake it was. 25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car.

"BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You're next!" I hope this clears up any confusion.

I LOVE THIS POEM.... Found You Somehow in this great big world I found my way to you My friend across the computer lines my heart, my soul, that's who. You try to make me smile with the mail you send my way. You never fail to drop a line each and every day. Whenever I have hurried home with something, I must share, I find it just so comforting that you are always there. Encouragement you give me and a friendship that is true. I'm glad my soul while reaching out found someone like you...

Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy. Even if you need to quit your job, or move across country, always do what you really want. Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just didn't work out. Never apologize for being successful. Only haters want to keep you at their level. Never apologize for crying. Wear waterproof mascara and express yourself. Never apologize for being frugal. Just because you save your money instead of blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn't mean you're cheap. Never apologize for being a single mom. Babies are a blessing. Never apologize for treating yourself to something special. Sometimes you have to show yourself some appreciation. Never apologize for leaving an abusive relationship. Your safety should always be a priority. Never apologize for keeping the ring even if wedding bells won't chime. Never apologize for setting high standards in a relationship. You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your nerves. Never apologize for saying NO. Never apologize to your new friends about old friends. There's a reason she's been your girl from day one. Never apologize for ordering dessert. Or more than one dessert. Never apologize for your taste in clothes. It's your style. Never apologize for changing your mind. Never apologize for being you! "ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!"

There is no particular reason for this letter. No forgotten birthday or anniversary. It's just me sitting here, quietly thinking about the important things in my life and i thought of you.. And I wanted you to know, that you are important to me. My life, without you in it, would be markedly different. The sun wouldn't shine as brightly, the flowers wouldn't smell as sweet, the days wouldn't be as warm, the nights would be oh so much longer and my smile would not beam as frequently. ...Sometimes I may gush, sometimes I may mush... But I want you to always know how much I care and how thankful I am, that you are part of my day.

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend Someone who changes your life by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop Someone who convinces you that there is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship..... When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.... Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend you feel happy and complete, because you need not worry. You have a forever friend for life and forever has no end...

Friend is a word that I don't throw around Though it's used and abused, I still like the sound. I save it for people who've done right by me And I know I can count on if ever need be. Some of my friends drive big limousines, Own ranches and banks and visit with queens. And some of my friends are up to their neck In overdue notes and can't write a check. They're singers or cowboys or writers of prose And others, God bless them, can't blow their own nose! I guess being friends has nothing to do With talent or money or knowing who's who. It's a comfortable feeling when you don't have to care About choosing your words or being quite fair. Because friends will just listen and let go on by Those words you don't mean and not bat an eye. It makes a friend happy to see your success. They are proud of your good side and forgive all the rest. And that isn't easy all of the time, Sometimes I get crazy and seem to go blind! Your friends just might have to take you on home, Or remind you sometime that you're not alone. Or ever so gently pull you back to the ground When you think you can fly with no one around. A hug or a shake, whichever seems right Is the high point of giving, I'll tell you tonight. All worldly riches and tributes of men, Can't hold a candle to the worth of a friend. Friends come in many different categories... Casual friends: Those that say hi and chat for awhile, They yes you to death and return your smile. But they soon find reasons to go off

If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you, And share with you its beauty On the days you're feeling blue If I could build a mountain You could call your very own, A place to find serenity, A place to be alone If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea, But all these things I'm finding Are impossible for me I cannot build a mountain, Or catch a rainbow fair, But let me be what I know best, A friend who's always there

You are friendly, kind and caring Sensitive, loyal and understanding Humorous, fun, secure and true Always there... yes that's you. Special, accepting, exciting and wise Truthful and helpful, with honest brown eyes Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright Yes that's you... not one bit of spite. You're one of a kind, different from others Generous, charming, but not one that smothers Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game But not just another... in the long chain. Appreciative, warm and precious like gold Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old You'll always be there, I know that is true I'll always be here... always for you. a very good friend of mine wrote this for me.. Thank you Troy..
