Nope, I don't allow people in my life that are "acidic" just the way I live. I don't have lots and lots of friends that i have to commit time to, my family is most important. My kids are older with kids of their own, and that's fine with me. The friends i have are all good people, give you the shirt off their back and don't talk crap about people. They are willing to take and give advice and never have a discouraging word..
Sorry, but thats just the way it is.. and in business, i don't do business with people i don't like at any price..
But it takes a lot of life to get to that point to be able to do that..
