OK. I think I am not going to speculate further on what Rick did or did not feel, and whether those feelings or non-feelings do or do not constitute true friendship. All I can say is, if Rick had said what he said to *me*, once I got over feeling pissed at him I would be heartily glad he did not allow my rage to eclipse the love between us. And that's good enough for me. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
