Friends..... and boy am I anxious

[Allan Faust]

I`ve always valued my friends quite highly, even those that I may not have met personally, such as the people on this site. I`ve always try and give as much as I can without asking for anything in return, and many have helped me out.....

This weekend, a buddy of mine up north gave me a call.... he has been helping my wife to bring visitors around at my father-in laws house lately, but he called to let me know that he has got to go to Montreal to pick up parts for his 73 challanger. He is bringing his trailer down with him..... but he asked me if I had room for a bunch of stuff.... my stuff.... he`s loading up his trailer with my 2 sheds of car parts... ie evverything but the frame and main body (its not a car trailer) and he`s hauling it down here for me..... He said that I helped him so much with all his car part buying in the past that it was the least he could do......

I can`t wait.... finally be able to work on something..... all that will be left is the main body and frame, but i think I can handle that this summer.....

Yep, friends cannot be purchased nor sold, "priceless and timeless".

Sounds like a good guy to me, Allan.

There is an old saying along these lines and it is so true, "If I have but one true friend in life, then I am a wealthy man." As you know, and had proven once again, you cannot buy a true friendship in a monetary fashion.

I have one of those TRUE FRIENDS. I've known the man for 15 yrs and we have never exchanged a nickel for any of the work he's done for me or I've done for him. We call it the barter system. He'll do something for me, and I'll do something for him.

He's had many projects in the past that he just needed an extra hand on and he calls me. When I need the favor returned, I call him. I think it's a great system..

God Bless US All.... John

John, that is exactly who that buddy of mine is..... weve been bartering for a couple of years now, and its just too bad that the more i was getting to know him, the closer we were getting, but i had to move away.....

Mack,

Its rare that things seem to come back karma wise (nver believed in karma myself to be honest) but it feels good that the things are going in the right direction for once....

Robert,

I have always been a poor wealthy man..... poor because i have no cash, nor do i want more than what it takes to cover my bills and food.... no wants for the materials..... however wealthy because i have a happy and healthy family, and more than one true friend, so yes, I am very filthy wealthy in that respect....

Bob and pflaming.... yep, this guy is one of the best, and no, friends cannot be bought, but they are worth more than their weight in gold.....

I have a friend 200 miles away that I have known for 35 years. We help each other very much, never exchange a $. He has installed engines for me, and I have painted vehicles for him. He has a 49 Plymouth Coupe. He helped me very much getting parts for my 38, and storage of my car when I needed room to work. We are very fortunate to know each other.............
