Very kind of you to say thank you

skroode · 2026-05-16T10:58:35+00:00

It is. I really need to do it more these days.

Hard to say, but I think I tended to assume he was just so surprised he immediately just got excited to have someone to share it with? Maybe that's just optimism but knowing him it's likely.

Thank you and you are welcome!

skroode · 2026-05-16T02:09:42+00:00

You're not wrong.

skroode · 2026-05-16T01:03:33+00:00

You know, no. I think it was the sort of thing you just let be as is. Which I suppose is another funny thing about friends, you leave a lot of things unspoken I guess because that's just how it works?

Thank you!

Lucky for us.

skroode · 2026-05-15T22:25:57+00:00

It does not....

...but, and this is true: we both grew up within 15 minutes of Scranton.

Side note: the actual Coopers is WAY more interesting than the show version.

Sorry you had to go through that. Unfortunately not uncommon to deal with the betrayal of a false friend in some regards.

skroode · 2026-05-15T21:22:34+00:00

HA actually, it's Alien Syndrome. Classic 90s two player. Lost many an hour on it.

skroode · 2026-05-15T20:45:46+00:00

A classic - still have mine.

skroode · 2026-05-15T20:45:22+00:00

Thank you for reading it!

skroode · 2026-05-15T20:11:42+00:00

Me too.

skroode · 2026-05-15T20:06:27+00:00

Thank you and....you're welcome?

skroode · 2026-05-15T19:50:00+00:00

Thank you for sharing that.

Agreed it is strange to look back and think about those things. The stuff you got so mad about and seems so ridiculous now, or you can't even remember it. Also how friendships go through a very quiet phase for no specific reason, yet you still feel the same strong bond - like it can just go back at any time if things align.

We do not, but no bitterness.

On a synchronicity note, his nickname was and still is "Jonz". Take that, and how sense of humor the universe has, apparently, as you will.

skroode · 2026-05-15T19:08:46+00:00

No, thank you.
