Some Friends, Eh. [View all]

Over on a busy social media site I use. I mentioned that I was home from the hospital after being treated for a flare-up of COPD.

I have lots of friends there, or what that site calls people who follow you. My favorite eply about content about being glad I was home was this statement. "Well, you deserved t9hat for your filthy habit! Maybe it will get you next time." There were others that were similar. Who does that? Friends?

Nothing like that here on DU. THANK GOODNESS.
