For some, that's a stepping stone to greater friendships; for others, that's all they really get to be, kept at a safe distance emotionally. As for us, that &quot;good acquaintance&quot; is probably where we're at, at this point.  It takes a while before I consider a person to be a friend, and I've only known you here for a few days.  You seem very nice so far, though. :)  And thank you for subscribing. My post count is probably way lower than most, so hopefully it won't be too difficult (though, when I do post, I can get wordy). ;)"}
