My conditions.

Friends. Friends. It’s not always easy having friends. Sometimes it’s easier dealing with an enemy. Than a friend. Particularly a friend that leaves me disappointed. Time after time. I expect to be disappointed in an enemy. But not in a friend. So when it happens, I am chagrined. Very, very disappointed. I’m supposed to stick by a friend. Even in the worst of times. But I can’t do it in this instance. Unless the friend acquiesces and meets my conditions for a sustaining friendship. --Jim Broede
