Are you bros with your gal pals?

[Sara Jessica]

SJ, thanks soooo much for sharing your lovely homage to your besties, so uplifting! And, thanks for understanding so completely what I was trying to convey in this thread. You and I have been chatting since 2011 and have made so many plans to meet up that just fell a bit short, but Spring 2020 in Las Vegas for sure. Book it, Danno! Hugs, Michelle

I'm so glad you get where I am coming from. It was sort of a stream of consciousness post fueled by musical memories and more than a few tears. Yes, what you wrote resonated with me which is why I felt compelled to share. Even if you are the only one here who appreciates it, I'm so happy to have taken the time to put my feelings to paper.

Ahhh, yes, but how many guys love to get into conversations about babies, the lives of other women's children, relationships, commitment, and especially the 'what do you think he means when he does/says this', type of discussion? How about decorating the house? Picking out curtains/towels/furniture styles/paint colors? After going over the 27,000 possible different shades of white paint for our ceilings with one lady, along with the variable qualities of flat, semi gloss, gloss, I thought I was going blind and my head would explode.

Ugh, I'd rather drill screws through my toes.

I'm not sure I'm understanding your POV, mostly because it is polar opposite to mine.

My dearly departed friend C and I used to close down restaurants with hours of the very conversation you disdain. I used to say that I'd never do such a thing with my "bro" friends but you know what? The love of communication is apparently part of my wiring and I am happy having meaningful conversations with anyone who I can call a friend.
