Fair Weather Friends

One happy result of the current economic downturn is the fact that there are many “reunions” of so-called good friends.


In the last week alone, I have personally received no less than five (5) instances of “friends” crawling out of the woodwork after disappearing for so long and contacting me.

The conversation usually goes like this “Hi Dave, how are you? I am looking for a job and would really appreciate your help”

Hmmmm. *Sniff*Sniff* Something smells rather fishy…

Woo hoo. Spot on Dave, as usual.
Your observations are always correct.

I can't agree more, Dave. I have also noticed people (that I haven't been in contact regularly) have been pretty nice to me lately...

How true...I suppose difficult times make people reach out after they have been too busy during better times. It could also mean that we are being given opportunities to show what we are really made of....you are good people Dave! God Bless.
