Wow, some of your interpretations of honesty is quite interesting. I had never thought of some of this reasoning.
Mad Quilter.....thank you for requesting that God and Gay lifestyles be left out of here. The original comment that mentioned "gay" was referring to how honesty isn't taken well at times...not to invite personal comments about gayness.
Sad that people use honesty to hurt people; and am sure that is not most of our intent. Anna.425 expressed my feelings about honesty well; someone only did so to help her and succeeded.
Keep the comments coming....I am enjoying both sides of this subject; just please keep it on honesty. Thanks all
Quiltmau..I have a wonderful friend in NY who has the same relationship with me as you speak of with your friend; and we really appreciate in each other. We have both needed a little long distance reality check a couple of times, and we are grateful for each other and all honesty.
